It did not explode, it was destroyed by an safety auto-destruct when a problem was detected. The actual problem could have been anything. The headline makes it seem like it exploded due to a problem. I hate when editors try to amp things up.

The rocket indeed explode because of a failure.´Failure in Space X rocket leads to self-destruct explosion´Bottom line, an unintentional failure resulted in the rocket exploding. The autodestruct explosion kept the mayhem withing the test area. That the actual explosion was by design does not make this flight anything other than a failure. The autodestruct just minimized the adverse effects of the failure.If this kind of ailure occurred with a crew on board, the crew would escape via some escape system. It should go without saying that a manned version of this rocket system would not fly without an escape system.

Rick Perry toilet flushed millions of dollars of Texans´ money supporting this stupid boondoggle. But I doubt he even remembers doing it. Anyone who thinks Rick Perry is a good choice for 2016 might want to think again.

- Very FreshPitMasterDined on 11/22/2014I had the Chilean sea bass with the mojito preparation. Everything was cooked to perfection and extremely fresh. My wife had the Halibut with the tapenade preparation and it was equally as good. Her dish came out wrong but was taken care of by the wait staff right away. It was no big deal considering we were splitting our dishes to sample both. They had a special for dessert were if you bought a 4-piece house made truffle box then the restaurant would purchase a pair of shoes for a person in need, which we could not pass up. The waitress we had knew her products and pairings as well as kept our glasses full. If I had to say one bad thing it would be that the price is a little steep for the portion size, but I can also understand paying extra for such high quality product.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top of my ListMarGramDined on 11/18/2014I like to try various restaurents in Pittsburgh,but this is my first choice. Every time I've been there it has been "off the chart greatest!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding!!HungryCranberryDined on 11/15/2014What a gem we have in the North Hills. Outstanding food and unbelievable service. They accommodated special requests that were mentioned casually to hostess on the phone. When we arrived, our waiter knew exactly who we were and what we needed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/14/2014From walking in to door to walking out the door - everything in between was GREAT!!! The drinks, staff, food and dessert were absolutely fantastic. Our evening couldn't been more perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Anniversary DinnerbrookebDined on 11/8/2014So my husband and I were planning on going out to dinner for our anniversary, but I ended up having oral surgery the day before. We were unsure of how I would feel and if I would be able to eat so we didn't make any plans. A 7:30 opened on Open Table and I grabbed it... and boy am I glad we did! We have been told that the restaurant was good, but that is an understatement. From the moment we walked it, the service was great. The hostess was excited that we were able to get a table and even noted on our slip that it was our anniversary so that we would receive a complementarity dessert. I was also given an ice pack for my face to work on the swelling. The food was amazing, the staff was awesome, and this is a place we will visit again!Special Features:
- anniversaryLiz11912Dined on 11/8/2014My husband and I decided to try Off The Hook for our second anniversary. We loved the food and the people, thank you for making it so special for us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 15 yr anniversarydkdoles5Dined on 11/7/2014Upon prior lunch experiences, I opted to try to impress my bride by taking her here; which is getting increasingly harder to achieve as the years go by. The catch was we also took our 3 young kids. Booking online 4 days prior worked flawlessly all the way to importing to my smartphone calendar. We arrived 10 min early. Upon arrival our reservation was acknowledged. We grabbed drinks and waited. I could observe this place was packed (fri night) and realized there was a delay. We were seated 30min late but service was impeccable. We were even given a free app for our wait. All in all perfect night, perfect food, and perfect service. Our kids were made to feel welcome too. Very memorable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A rare find in the wasteland1FoodfanDined on 11/5/2014Best place for fresh fish in the area. Oyster selection is well represented. A great eatery to conduct business or enjoy a fine meal with a lover. Hope the community supports not having a deep fried cod sandwich on the menuSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, but...ThirstyDined on 11/3/2014I am not one to post a review, but I needed to share this info. We were celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary and really looking forward to a great dinner. We sat for 15 minutes before our server greeted us. I was not given a wine menu. She returns with a the wine menu, finally, and goes into another 15 minute disertation on the menu. I had already read the menu b.c I had been sitting for now a total of 30 minutes. She then takes our drink order AND our dinner order at the same time. The food was delicious, but I found the waitress to be extremely unpolished and almost similar to a cafeteria worker at my sons school. The booth was so uncomfortable and unstable as the man behind me kicked it all evening. Will not returnSpecial Features:
- Great Place!!!dineoutjunkieDined on 11/1/2014This was our first experience at Off The Hook.......service was outstanding, knowledgeable, pleasant and experienced. LOVED the décor and atmosphere, and the food was delicious! The staff never made us feel rushed even though the restaurant and bar were PACKED!!! That said, the ambiance and menu are better suited toward the adult palate (which was also a plus for us)!! Unfortunately, there was a serious health emergency at the table directly next to us, but the staff took immediate control of the situation without engaging the entire rest of the restaurant. "Our hats off" to the staff and owner!! We'll be back!!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- smittie2Dined on 10/31/2014I have been at this restaurant several times and I have enjoyed every meal. My husband hates fish but tried mine and now thats all he orders at this restaurant. Very friendly staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great seafood and gluten freeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/30/2014Outstanding experience. We notified them ahead that we had a gluten allergy. They had gluten free bread when we were seated and explained very well which meals could be prepared gluten free. The seafood was prepared excellently, moist and tasty - not over cooked. All aspects of the meal were great. Although pricey, it was an excellent value.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dinner42Dined on 10/25/2014The food was delicious! The atmosphere up to date, warm, and inviting and very welcoming staff that is very attentive to your every need or want. A great place to enjoy the evening with friends, food and a relaxing glass of wine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Anniversary locationOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/25/2014The menu was a bit pricey but it was within reason, as the food was absolutely exceptional and there are so many menu choices to choose from. We had exceptional service and the food was absolutely amazing. We left full but not overly stuffed.Special Features:
- Very niceAwheeDined on 10/24/2014The food was excellent and the staff friendly. They were ready to seat us as soon as we arrived. Nice ambiance. No trouble having food allergies accommodated.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Among the best north of the BurghDrMarkFliesDined on 10/22/2014Most of the restaurants in the North Pittsburgh metro are, to put it mildly, disappointing. When you live in a place where the epicurean standard is fries and coleslaw on a burger, and there are three marginal pizza joints on every block, I suppose that's what you should expect. Off the Hook is a major upgrade for Cranberry, PA... and even though it is a sister of Monterrey Bay on Mount Washington, it is sans the pretention. Now there is a restaurant in my hood for important business visitors and out-of-town friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Fresh FriendlyEat2LiveDined on 10/18/2014From the moment we walked in we were met with exceptional attention to service. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. The owners stopped by to check in and discuss the menu. The menu offered some old favorites and many adventures. Service was timely. The food was beautiful, delicious, and fresh. Portions are ample and the overall atmosphere is enjoyable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding food but noisy roomOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/17/2014The food was delicious. However we were placed in a smaller room that accommodates 4 tables. The conversations surrounding us were so loud that we couldn't hear each other across the table.Special Features:
- Off the Hook is "off the hook"ChefWannabeDined on 10/15/2014Went for our 20th wedding anniversary. Food is absolutely spectacular. We both had A+ meals. I had the halibut and my wife had the scallops. Cooked perfectly. Best seafood outside of downtown. They even gave us a free dessert for our anniversary.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Great Romantic BirthdayCranberryIsaac621Dined on 10/14/2014My wife and I went to Off the Hook in Warrendale/Cranberry for her Birthday. The service, food, and atmosphere was outstanding. They even did something special for her dessert. I enjoyed a raspberry mint drink from their cocktail list, and it was very good! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that loves fresh seafood, unique cocktails, and a 5 star service staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Second-to-NoneAnna2Dined on 10/14/2014Every entree at our table of 4 was fabulous, staff was very friendly and pleasant. I personally (in my 65 yrs) have never had salmon so delicious and the crab cakes were better than any we have ever had, even at the shore...all sides were awesome as well. Great experience!Special Features:
- Outstanding food and service!GottaloveitDined on 10/11/2014Exceptional food, start to finish. We had the Ichiban and Crab Cake appetizers. There is almost no trace of filler in the crab cake. Outstanding! My wife had the Mediterranean Style Salad and ate it slowly to savor every bite. I had the French Onion Soup. The three cheese variety was flavorful and stayed hot the entire time I ate it (slurpped it?). For our entrees Cathy had the swordfish and loved it. I had the Big Eye Tuna. It was a huge piece of fish and was unbelieveably tasty. It was pan seared with seasame seeds as a coating and presentation element. The full flavor of the fish came through. Best Carrot Cake Ever. Maybe not THE best I've ever had, but it was delicious. Do not miss this gem of a restaurant!Special Features:
- A Little Noisy but GREAT FoodJimDMarsDined on 10/11/2014We took our friends to OTH for their 40th anniversary on a busy Saturday night. We were shown to our table right on time. It took a few minutes for our server to arrive but once there, he was ready for our drink order. Serving us our drinks, he told us about the specials and asked if we had any questions. We asked to have a few minutes as we wanted to talk a bit. Giving us time was no problem. We placed our starter order, and asked a couple of questions about the wine list. Two in our party ordered the halibut parmesan style, the salmon special and I had the Chilean sea bass on macadamia nuts. All were great as well was the seafood sampler appetizer and oyster. Bottom line - somewhat noisy, very good service and GREAT food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ChoiceGrwilDined on 10/11/2014It's great to have a quality dining experience in the North Hills. The atmosphere and the food are both very good, you would need to go into town or one of the urban areas to find similar food quality. It's a nice environment, and the tables are spaced nicely so even though the room is larger, it does not feel crowded. We had a great waitress, service from everyone was excellent - very high marks. Prices were fair taking everything into consideration.Special Features:
- Good food and service at a priceDenoir51Dined on 10/11/2014The food was very fresh tasting and delicious. Portions were decent. Did not care for the way the side dishes had to be ordered for the whole table. The service was outstanding. The lighting could have been just a little brighter. All dark colored décor with dim lights is not my preference. I love good service and I would come back because of the service. If I don't return, O the H will do fine...the place was very full. Four others and I go out to dinner all over the Pittsburgh Area once a month. We have been doing it for years. I have many experiences to compare O the H to. I would recommend O the H only to certain select friends who I know would appreciate the experience. I did an online menu check so I knew the prices before hand.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Group DinnerReviewsbymeDined on 10/8/2014Was in town for a training class and took a group of six to dinner. Asked around and was told this was the place to go. Did not dissappoint, several great fish offerings but unlike other places they had several different variations on each fish.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/6/2014I am from the Philly area and I always look forward to eating there when I come to town. AND I used to never eat seafood. Its has been a life changing culinary experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect birthday surprise!SandAdineoutDined on 10/2/2014The food was outstanding. I had scallops with lump crab and he had swordfish with chorizo and both were to die for! Our waitress was so nice and attentive. The pastry chef made an amazing creme brulee as well. I can't say enough how great our experience was. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nothing like qualityfoodieexpertDined on 9/30/2014Off the Hook is a great addition to the Pittsburgh restaurant scene. There is no better seafood anywhere in the USA. The staff is excellent. Convenient parking. Great for a routine dinner out or a special occasion.Special Features:
- offthehookforrealDined on 9/29/2014The food was great! I was very impressed with the jumbo sea scallops - comparable, yet better than Monterey Bay! Also, the lobster whipped mashed potatoes are to die for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Way Off The HookFoodie1955Dined on 9/19/2014The bar menu was perfect for a Happy Hour dinner. The featured wine was great and the French Onion Soup the best I ever had. That and a slider platter was a nice early dinner on a Friday evening with friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- amazing servicepghfoodie11Dined on 9/18/2014We have been to Off the Hook before and came back for the wine list and the great seafood. Our waiter was so attentive and welcoming he would be another reason we would return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent foodbalubalufDined on 9/18/2014The food was excellent, the service was more than acceptable, but the place was very noisy, at least in the large room (right wing). We didn't stop in the left wing (bar). I recommend the place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!allfornattieDined on 9/13/2014This place is fantastic! Very fresh! The scallops are the best I think I ever had!Special Features:
- Fish foodieVisitorDined on 9/13/2014This restaurant is excellent! Every time I go there the dishes are interesting and the service is great. There is no other seafood restaurant in Pittsburgh that comes close and in all of my travels in the US I would say this is one of the best seafood restaurants I have ever eaten at. The advantage that Off The Hook would have is that I have eaten there more than 6 times now and every time is great from bread to dessert.Special Features:
- Great staff and amazing food.YummyDined on 9/12/2014Love it! Very knowledgable wait staff! We had so much fun and loved the oysters! Great drinks and great place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Off The Hook Is A Great CatchMooreDined on 9/12/2014Overall experience was satisfactory. Steamed clams were way too salty, but crabcake appetizer was excellent. Asparagus on swordfish was not cooked thoroughly and bernaise sauce was acceptable but not great. Swordfish was also amazing as was the sea bass with macademia nuts, even the leftovers were great the next day. Had some trouble parking (not enough handicap places), and wine list was extensive but did not have much to speak of that was not Californian. Service was on the slow side.Special Features:

The discovery by East Hampton Village police of a large cache of marijuana reportedly concealed under the hood of a BMW during a routine traffic stop in May was the impetus for a day-long class for law enforcement officials on the variety of ways criminals conceal drugs, weapons, cash, and other contraband in a vehicle.
Keen O. Rodney, 32, who splits his time between Florida and Montauk, was arrested last week on a felony assault charge after an alleged fight with his roommates over some fish, but asserted during his arraignment last Thursday that he was in fact the victim. He was defending himself, he said, when he swung a baseball bat at Omar Godfried Deer, breaking the man's wrist.
The New York State Police are deploying more assets on the South Fork, leading to more arrests on alcohol-related charges. "We're focusing on the midnight tours," Sgt. James Marrone said Tuesday. "We're sending out at least one vehicle when we have a car available."
A native of Colombia who spent Saturday night celebrating his nation's World Cup victory against Uruguay that day wound up on a gurney outside East Hampton Town Justice Court Sunday morning following his arraignment on a charge of drunken driving.
Christhian Eduardo Roa, 30, was pulled over on Montauk Highway at 5:30 a.m. Sunday for swerving across lane lines. East Hampton Town police said he failed roadside sobriety tests, and he was taken to their Wainscott headquarters, where his breath test reportedly produced a reading of .14 of 1 percent.
A Brooklyn man was arrested by East Hampton Village and Town officers Friday afternoon following a chase through the woods near Georgica Pond in Wainscott. A town officer, who suffered a knee injury during the pursuit, finally stopped the fleeing man by discharging his Taser.
Paul Freckleton, 25, who was riding a motorcycle, was first stopped by the village officer, near Georgica restaurant, where he is employed as a cook.
One town police officer pulled over two cars driven by employees of the same Montauk restaurant on Sunday morning and arrested both drivers. One was charged with felony drunken driving, the other with driving with ability impaired by drugs.
Last week, the East Hampton Town Zoning Board of Appeals considered a six-foot-wide boardwalk. Next week, it expects to come to terms with bodies six-feet deep.
East Hampton Village police arrested five Ross Upper School students on the evening of June 18 at the East Hampton Nature Trail, charging all five with possession of open containers of alcohol. One of the students, four of whom are foreign nationals, was charged with possession of marijuana. Because the five are all 17 or younger, police did not release their names.
A woman charged with drunken driving after an early morning, single-car accident in Southampton Village on April 19 in which a Water Mill man died has been indicted by a Suffolk County grand jury on multiple felony charges, including vehicular manslaughter.
Allison Rydberg of Hampton Bays was arraigned Monday in Central Islip before acting Supreme Court Justice Fernando Camacho. The vehicular manslaughter charge was based on a police statement that her blood-alcohol content at the time of the accident was over .18 of 1 percent.
Summer may be over, but the Montauk Farmers Market lives on, at least for this Saturday.

Apple building second 'tactical' data center in North CarolinaApple's massive data center in Maiden, N.C., will be flanked by a second, smaller "tactical" facility, new filings reveal.
The new 11-room, 21,030-square-foot data center will cost Apple $1,885,129, according to county permits discovered by the Hickory Daily Record. The documents refer the facility as a "tactical" data center that will store clusters of servers.
Located at 5977 Startown Road in Maiden, the new building has permits for 22 air conditioners, five fans, 14 humidifiers, six electrical unit heaters, one electric duct heat louvers, and ductwork. The small facility will also have one unisex bathroom, and will not be used to house employees.
Also detailed in the filing are what author Sharon McBrayer referred to as "tight security measures," including "man trap" security doors that will require people to go through two doors to gain access, and an 8-foot-high chain-link security fence.
Apple first selected the property in Maiden for its massive $1 billion server farm in 2009. It opened last spring, and currently supports Apple's iTunes and iCloud services.
Though the facility is operational, a great deal of expansion continues at the property, in addition to the forthcoming "tactical" data center. Apple is planning both a solar farm and a fuel cell installation for its onsite facilities that will allow the data center to rely on 100 percent renewable energy by the end of this year.
Apple's new solar array will be the largest end-user-owned onsite facility of its kind in the country. It will be located on 171 acres of vacant land on Startown Road that was acquired by Apple.

City officials for Oakdale have made it no secret that without the additional revenue provided from Measure O, the city would be in a great hardship operationally.
Valentine's Day is one of the most feel-good holidays of the year, full of love, roses, and candy hearts everywhere you look. No matter what you choose to do on that special day, from a group date with friends to a romantic dinner with your significant other, the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) encourages you to keep the memories pleasant. Nothing can ruin an evening like getting a DUI or causing a crash. Plan ahead and designate a sober driver, or better yet, spread the love by being the designated sober driver for others.

Director Jack Alpers was the dissenting vote. To clarify, OID won't send out fliers.

Discussion in 'Too Hot for Swamp Gas' started by gator85jd, Jun 23, 2013.
Here is a link to the Wallenda Family web site
I remember when his grandfather fell in Puerto Rico. Kept showing it on TV. Really disturbing at the time.
Here is a write up on their signature chair performance
"The signature performance of the group that came to be known in the 1940s as "The Flying Wallendas" was the seven-person chair pyramid: Two pairs of performers walk the wire, each supporting another aerialist on a pole. Those two aerialists, in turn, carry a pole upon which the seventh member of the troupe balances in a chair.
My parents were there live. Not pretty.
That a boy
If I was trying to walk that wire I would calling on every divine divinity I could think of. Starting at God and working my way through the Great Spirit, and maybe even lawn genies
If you walk that wire I'm taking the time out to travel to wherever that might be, maybe across the Swamp on opening day.
I'm not particularly afraid of heights as I have worked towers before but I doubt I would want to be higher than about 3 feet if it was walking a wire. It would probably give the crowd some entertainment as I busted my old azz fairly quickly.
What if we had a nice cushy landing on the field of the Swamp? Just a thought :grin:
You mean save his walk for the Tennessee game and hope to land on Lulu?
He will eventually fall, I'm not really a fan of this.
Speaking of a guy who just hit 50 and I know Hall is a few years my senior, Lulu would be a soft landing on the aches and pains.
Same here....55 and I agree that if you had to land on someone, may as well be Lulu.
Heck--you may even 'bounce' off.
Landing on Lulu would be like jumping on the roof of the O'Dome back in the day.
Who knows, maybe he asks Jesus to help him with everything.
Thus, no big deal.
No doubt that would be one time I would welcome Lulu under me.
If you got to know Jesus I assure you that's no big deal

What is Your Carbon Footprint?
Today it is becoming increasingly common to hear about climate change, a topic everybody talks about but are rarely aware of its real impact. We've heard many times that we are all contributing to the destruction of the planet, but how can we know the footprint we are leaving behind? This is the question that Ruth Abrain Sanchez asks on her blog:
Para qué sirve
A nivel personal: para saber cuál es tu impacto sobre el medio ambiente. Por ejemplo, si consumes mucha electricidad y vas siempre en coche tu huella será alta. Es una manera situarnos en la escala eco-friendly :-)
What is this for
On a personal level: to know what is the impact on the environment. For instance, if you consume to much electricity and always go on car, your footprint will be very high. It's a way to place ourselves on the eco-friendly scale :-)
In this eco-blog, we see some guidelines to calculate our carbon footprint (CO2 produced all along our life) and become as eco-friendly as possible.
As the blogger tells us, we only need three steps to get to the result: the first would be gathering data, such as electricity, water, gas, etc. We go on looking for the factors, that is, to know the total CO2 per consumption, and finally, a calculation with this formula: Carbon footprint = Amount x Release factor.
With this simple yet useful information we come closer to the environment, aware of the damage we cause, and can try to reduce them as much as possible.

Hirotan Forest, an Increasingly Rare 'Satoyama' School Connecting Rural Japanese Kids to Nature
A satoyama school in rural Toyama Prefecture Japan's Hokuriku "north lands" that was closed down earlier this spring has been given new life.
Satoyama is a term rich with meaning in Japan, and broadly refers to an intensively cultivated land that blends in with the surrounding environment. Much of rural Japan was once such satoyama, where wet rice cultivation not only depended on clean water flowing from the surrounding hills, but the rice fields played a keystone role in supporting a rich, vibrant ecosystem.
A satoyama school, then, resided at the heart of a community, serving as a method for transferring important lessons about land stewardship to future generations who would continue to live in and help sustain the satoyama. As Japan's rural population declines, over the past two decades these schools have continued to shut down.
In the case of the Toyama school, a group of local parents, caregivers and other volunteers have resurrected the school and have called it Hirotan No Mori, or Hirotan Forest. The repurposed school, now a community NGO, posts photos and information about classes and events on their Facebook page.
The purpose of Hirotan Forest is to provide local children of all ages the opportunity to experience nature. The school is located about 30 minutes by car from the small rural city of Takaoka in Toyama, quite close to the Japan Sea coast.
Hirotan Forest gives kids a chance to experience the traditional pursuits of rural kids: digging up bamboo shoots, gathering to watch fireflies in June, and making traditional crafts out of bamboo. In November there are plans to give children the opportunity to build a treehouse in the forest.
The idea is to teach children about rural traditions while allowing them to experience a deeper connection with the natural world. The hope is to pass on methods of living within and protect their satoyama and at the same time learn how to enjoy both working and passing time in the surrounding forest.
Ultimately, the satoyama school and Hirotan Forest are also all about preserving a way of life that is vanishing in the rest of Japan as the population ages.
Peruvian Amazon Faces Cold Temperatures: Consequences of Climate Change
Peruvian journalist and writer Paco Bardales, comments with other colleagues the waves of cold weather, or friajes, that recently affected usually hot Iquitos. These weather phenomena have gone from sporadic, as the group remembers from their childhood, to more frequent and longer lasting, so much that the state agency Meteorology and Hydrology Service (Senahmi, according to its name in Spanish) has decided to issue cold weather alerts for the cities located in Peruvian Amazonic regions. On the conversation, the group reflects that these frsots are due to climate change. Is this so? No doubt about it. Man has influenced in this change, and even Andean and Amazon communities are not to blame, they suffer from floodings, diseases, and all other consequence affecting their health and environment.
El impacto de la contaminación y los daños al ambiente sin duda han ido afectando las temperaturas. El Perú es considerado como uno de los países más vulnerables ante los impactos del cambio climático. Según estimaciones del MEF, los posibles daños económicos causados por este aspecto podrían llegar hasta los diez mil millones de dólares de aquí al año 2025.
The impact on contamination and damages to environment have undoubtedly been affecting temperatures. Peru is considered one of the most vulnerables countries to the impact of climate change. According to tne Ministry of Economy estimates, potential economic damages caused due to these changes could reach ten thousand million US dollars from now to year 2025.
National and international entites aim to create awareness and inform. One of the main actions are workshops about Conference of the Parties about about Climate Change (COP-20). And as Paco says:
La preocupación resulta importante, pues, al fin y al cabo, la Amazonía será fundamental en la mitigación del cambio climático. Ojalá no sea tarde para nosotros mismos.
Concern becomes important, as, after all, the Amazon region will be fundamental on mitigating climate change. Hopefully, it's not too late for ourselves.

#ThrowAwayYourGum, Recycling Initiative in Argentina
In some streets of the Argentinian capital, Buenos Aires, pink boxes have appeared specially for bubble gum to keep public spaces clean. The gum collected can be recycled in items such as rubber boots and sandals, among other things.
On Twitter, some users thought the initiative was a good idea, while others were skeptical:

A Mouse Amidst the Mist
First thing in the morning, amidst the mist that populates the waves in the township of Guetaría, a typical fishing village in the shores of Guipuzkoa (Basque Country), we can discern the shape of Mount of San Antón, which as we can see on J. G. del Sol Cobos in this image from this group blog, resembles a mouse. All along the rough way up, we have one of the best sights of the Basque Country. There is even a lighthouse on top that integrates the landscape and makes us think of the traditional lifestyle in this area of Northern Iberian Peninsula.
This so well-known shape in Guetaría connects through a tombolo (branch that gets two parts together) with solid ground, and from different point of view will look as the tail of a rodent.

After some research about the history of this natural park surrounded by the Cantabrian sea, we know that until the 16th century it was an island. Today, it's a famous spot in Guipuzkoa, where we can find plants and trees as native as exotic, besides a fantastic panoramic view of the coastline.

Video Animation Explains How Principle of "Free Prior and Informed Consent" Can Empower Indigenous Peoples
Will Trinidad & Tobago's Government "Listen, Learn & Lead"?
Blogger and public relations professional Dennise Demming is disillusioned with Trinidad and Tobago's Prime Minister, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who claims to "listen, learn and lead", but then takes action to the contrary. Demming first cited the example of the country's recent Constitutional Amendment Bill, with which, "despite popular objection, the Government manoeuvred their way and got the Independent bench to support this unpopular change to the constitution."
Now, she wonders why the government has not listened, learned and led when it comes to the Highway Re-Route Movement. Environmentalist Dr. Wayne Kublalsingh has undertaken a second hunger strike in protest over a portion of proposed highway that will displace a community and could also have a negative environmental impact. Amidst ongoing construction work on the highway, the Prime Minister has, thus far, refused to meet with Kublalsingh to discuss alternative routes. Demming says:
Re-routing the highway is a reasonable request by a credible group of activists which has come together under the leadership of the PM's one time friend Dr. Wayne Khublalsingh. I salute this man who is prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice in defence of the environment. No matter how this hunger strike ends, his blood is staining the hands of each member of the PP [People's Partnership] Government.
Industrial Pollution Kills Hundreds of Wild Birds in Inner Mongolia
More than 500 dead wild water birds appeared in the lake areas of Inner Mongolia since this summer as a result of water pollution. The poisonous water, as reported by local herdsmen, came from factories from a nearby eco-industrial area. Annie Lee from China Hush wrote a photo feature on the situation.

a tad expensive, but likely because they may use more "real" ingredients rather than just a mix. Slightly more generous portions than the average chains, and definitely more tasty. An easy morning pick up to go on the way to the slopes.
I understand that the morning is not the easiest time to be friendly. I also understand that it is difficult to be friendly to a dad and his five young boys at 7am. I understand all of those things, but this is a donut store and I would assume that most of your business is in the morning. Good morning!...
I'm not sure if it's even fair for me to rate the donuts. I don't know what Colorado Donuts are meant to taste like. We were not impressed. The donuts are much more "bready/dry" than the donuts we have in Texas. They had some fun flavors that we wouldn't find at home, however, the donuts were not a hit with...
After staying away from Milk Run for several months we decided to meet for coffee today with a group of friends. Arrived at 11:30 am, which is approx. 2 hours before closing time. Guess what? We were greeted with 2 signs in the window-1 saying CLOSED and the 2nd saying SOLD OUT.
This place is the most inconsistent restaurant in...
Having moved to the Midwest from the West Coast, I always jump at the opportunity to eat a maple donut. Milk Run's are delicious. The donuts are tasty, albeit a little pricey.
I love getting time to hunker down in this place. The space has a clean & fresh feeling and the donuts are great. Even when they are out of my 1st choice, anything else I get is surprisingly addicting!
If you are in the mood for a donut, you can't go wrong. They only serve donuts, and drinks that go with them (milk, coffee) but they are very good. We went in the off season so we had no problem getting the kind we wanted even though it was almost closing time. However, during the busy season, go earlier...
I expect a donut shop to be bright and happy. The color selection of this shop was depressing and reminded me of being in a morgue.
Ya, the goods were ok but I do not need depressing early in the morning.
So I've given Milk Run a try two more times since my last review. Went there two times last week. The first time I "tried" to get a donut at 8:30am, they were Out Of Donuts again. At least this time there was a sign in the window saying so. The other time I went was last Thursday or Friday,...
We were freezing and we came across this place and had 2 hot coco's and an old fashioned (amazing!) and a glazed apple thingy also amazing. Worth a try esp if you like your doughnuts. Although I was craving a bear claw but this was just as good

Facebook Analysis Proves Millions Worldwide Switched to HRC Red Equality Logo
December 10, 2013 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Associate Director of Digital Media
Yesterday Facebook data scientists released an in-depth look into the geographic spread of the HRC red equality logo campaign, the most viral campaign in Facebook history.
Facebook now estimates – with 98.6 percent precision – that 3.05 million users changed their profile pictures in support of marriage equality, 2.77 million of which were in the U.S., 52,000 in Canada, 37,000 in Australia, 33,000 in the United Kingdom and 22,000 in Germany.
In the U.S., analysis shows a widespread geographical difference in engagement with HRC's red equality logo. The highest level of engagement was seen on the coasts and in the Great Lakes region, with less engagement in the South and in the Great Plains. Engagement also varied within cities themselves. For example, New York City had a very high levels of engagement in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, and very low levels in the Bronx, outer Brooklyn and Queens, as well as further up on Long Island, Staten Island and New Jersey.
As previously noted, some of the highest participation rates were found in San Francisco County, San Mateo County and Washington, D.C., where HRC is headquartered.
The red equality logo first launched on Tuesday, March 26, as part of a meticulously planned digital strategy surrounding the Supreme Court's hearing of oral arguments on two historic marriage equality cases. For weeks prior to Tuesday, HRC called on fair-minded Americans to "go red" in support of loving, committed same-sex couples. It was after HRC switched its own profile picture from the ubiquitous blue and yellow logo to the colors of love that the "go red" movement took off.
Within hours, Facebook saw a 120 percent increase in profile photo updates, and more than 800 variations of the equality logo, making it the most viral campaign in the social media juggernaut's history.
Standing in support of marriage equality on social media, and bleeding the Internet red, sends a powerful message to the community -- particularly LGBT youth -- that the majority of Americans are on the right side of history.

Welcome back to the workweek with the most beautiful gift of all: bears! This week the Katami National Park in Alaska has started streaming videos of brown bears in their natural habitat. The first one's live at Brooks Falls; so far, we've watched brown bears looking for salmon, brown bears catching salmon, and brown bears eating salmon. Adorable. There's also this cam on the lower river but it's basically a bunch of water right now. We expect more bear action to start anytime now.

How successful was tonight's Paddles ON! sale of digital art in London? On its face pretty good. Phillips sale totaled £83,500 ($113,636.83), exceeding their high estimate for the sale at £67,150 ($91,392.43). Dig a little deeper, though, and the results of the auction as a whole, which included 22 lots, suggest a still developing market: Five lots went unsold and four sold for under their estimates. Two unremarkable abstract panels that sold for as much as five times their estimate boosted the evenings sale numbers. Michael Staniak's IMG_885, a monochrome painting made of casting compound and acrylic on board, brought in the most; it sold for £25,000, £20,250 over its £4,750 estimate. Trailing Staniak came Michael Manning's Chinese Broccolini Torta, a pastel digital print on canvas which sold for £15,000, £10,000 over its £5,000 estimate.

Cembalest will stay on through July 2nd to transition the new editor-in-chief, who is none other than Gallerist Founder and Observer Culture Editor, Sarah Douglas. The Observer has not yet announced the name of their new culture editor.

Looks like Paddles ON! London, is on its way to replicating the strides made during last year's much-discussed net-art auction, the first at a major auction house. Last fall, the auction held in New York at Phillips totalled $90,600 on the sale of 16 pieces out of 20 lots. People widely lauded the auction as a success—a GIF sold for $1,300 and the excitement from the live auction crowd was palpable—but financially, the case for Paddles ON! achievements aren't clear cut. Nine of the works sold for less than their estimated bids, and four of those were bought in by the auction house.
The Jo-Mar warehouse was issued a stop-work order for violating building, electrical, plumbing, and zoning codes. As a result of these issues, Shift Capital did not have a certificate of occupancy, which made any occupancy illegal.

strait-lacedSyllabification: strait-laced
Pronunciation: /ˌstrātˈlāst /
(also straight-laced)
Definition of strait-laced in English:
Having or showing very strict moral attitudes.
Example sentences
- A strait-laced British Government official arrives to offer cash aid to dig 38 wells for the president's drought-stricken people.
- For two decades, the BBC's voice of youth enforced a moral code that your average Victorian aunt would have thought strait-laced.
- In the sequel, a clash of cultures ensues when the straight-laced, conservative Byrnes family meets the liberal, relaxed Fockers.
prim (and proper), prudish, puritanical, prissy, conservative, old-fashioned, stuffy, staid, narrow-minded
informal starchy, square, fuddy-duddy
As an adjective, strait means 'narrow or cramped' and 'strict or rigorous': the idea behind strait-laced and straitjacket is of being tightly laced or confined. As strait is now old-fashioned and unfamiliar, however, people often interpret it as the more usual word straight. Straight-laced and straightjacket are now generally accepted in standard English, and the spelling straight-laced is more common than strait-laced in the Oxford English Corpus.
