Layla Love, Peace Book, 2006. Silver print, 11 x 14 inches (27.9 x 35.6 cm). Edition 2 of 10. Signed.
Layla Love is an established photographer that splits her time and work between New York and London. Love's passion for film has been apparent since the age of 12. Since then, she has never strayed far from the darkroom, or from her dedication to interdisciplinary thinking. Her latest show, "Lucid Dreaming," included negatives extracted from past moments, shared with the viewer in limited editions and inimitable imagery.
This May, Layla Love experienced a monumental stepping-stone in her career when her artwork was included in The White House's permanent collection. She is also an artist represented in the Tiffany Co. collection, The Alex Grey Foundation, and The Women's Museum in Dallas.
A Visual Voice:
Love describes her artwork as "a vehicle to explore the inner landscape of the human experience." With a Bachelors of Arts degree in Visual Communications and Journalism from the University of California, Santa Cruz, Love 's artwork often provokes a transformative change. She is an artist that believes in socially conscious individuals, and utilizes her talents in partnership with non-profit and community-based organizations.
A prominent human rights activist, Layla Love has worked with women's organizations such as the National Woman's Organization (NOW) and the Women's Media Center. The primary focus of her body of work has been women who dare, the voiceless and the renown, including the subjects Liz Abzug, Gloria Steinem, Ani DiFranco, Tori Amos, and Alice Walker and Amy Goodman.
As a photojournalist and documentary photographer, Layla Love attempts to lend a voice to the oppressed. She has traveled extensively, receiving her first assignment with Student Reporting CNN in 1999, and has since continued to photograph human disparities in Southeast Asia, West Africa, and Eastern Europe. Many of these experiences have been translated through the expression of art and social change; in the upcoming documentary about Layla Love's life, produced by Tarmak, the filmmakers encapsulate this process.
Featured Exhibitions:
Layla Love's solo exhibition, "Art Heals," was privileged to have the honor of showcasing at The National Arts Club in 2009, thanks to the avid support of Anthony Haden-Guest and Catherine Johnson. The National Arts Club exhibition was followed by a series of four exhibitions at the Baron Gallery in New York. London-based international representative Eric Franck, who represents the Norman Parkinson and Henry Cartier-Bresson archives, included Love's photography in the exclusive "Paris Photo Expo." Her photo, TITLE, was sold in November 2010 at Harrod's of London, and in addition, Love continues to grow and gain familiarity among collectors as a recent participant in the Miami Basal Art Fair.
Layla Love was shown alongside Andy Warhol, Mapplethorpe and Basquiat in the exhibition, "The Black and White Show," The AP Track curator who brought the exhibition to Collective Hardware, Amy Rosi, embraces the artist's work stating, "Layla's beautiful energy is transmitted into her work. As a collective, we are drawn to her international voice, which sees no color, race, gender or religious differences. Diversity is key in our company, in the artists we represent, and in our view of the world."

July 15th, 2011 No comments
I do not write this for people who have suffered. The common man, they did not sign in for what happened. i write to those who lead.
the world is not build of reasons, it is built of life. More then reasons people deserve life. a chance to live free, without fear & with honor.
protecting a human crop with fencing, with pesticides looks good, sometimes gives bumper crops. but floods come, so do the droughts. sometimes a bolt from the blue sky.
could it be a question of perspective?

Did Nancy Pelosi Say That?
**Written by Doug Powers
Nancy Pelosi violated a major tenet of comedy, which is "never open with your best joke":
Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement on proposals announced today to reduce the deficit and avoid default:
"It is clear we must enter an era of austerity; to reduce the deficit through shared sacrifice.
Did the biggest spending House speaker in history say that? I feel like a bottle of Stoli just offered to help me jump on the wagon, but I guess it's a start.
Pelosi was of course referring to the Reid proposal that is said to contain no tax increases, would raise the debt ceiling $2.7 trillion and allegedly cut the same amount in spending, but somewhere around half of those "cuts" would be "money that won't be spent as a result of winding down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."
If that's not enough to satisfy Republicans, Reid will propose an additional $150 billion in cuts that will be realized by not going to war against Liechtenstein in 2018.

Remembering William Gray: A Mentor To Many
Finally today, we want to take a minute to say goodbye to an important figure in American politics and education. Former Congressman William Gray III died yesterday at the age of 71. Gray was a Democrat who represented Pennsylvania's 2nd District from 1979 to 1992. He was the first African-American to serve as majority whip in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Gray was a mentor for a generation of black politicians in Philadelphia, but his service did not end when he left Congress. He went on to serve as CEO of the United Negro College Fund, where he raised hundreds of millions of dollars to support the education of African-American students and the institutions that serve them. And while he'll be honored by the country for his contributions to politics, he'll also be remembered in Philadelphia as pastor of Bright Hope Baptist Church until 2007. His former aide said he used to commute back to the city from Washington, to deliver the Sunday sermon.
In a statement, current Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter remembered Gray's ease with people from all walks of life, saying: He knew guys on the corner, and he knew Nelson Mandela - and everyone in between. Former Congressman William H. Gray III died yesterday, at the age of 71.
And that's our program for today. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Rigid Polyurethane Foam wing cores?
There's currently two major ways of building dlg wings today.
1. Bagged foam.
2. hollow moulded.
Bagged wings are much more robust than moulded wings, but the moulded wings are significantly more accurate.
My problem is that I'm a ordinary flyer and take way too many risks so my wings tend to be rather beat up. So I have no love for hollow moulded wings!
Question: What would the problem be with using moulds to create wing skins (with bagged wing type thickness) and then clamping the moulds together and filling the wing with a rigid polyurethane foam mix?
The numbers for the foams seem to be comparable to hiload-60: Around 35 Kg/m^3 density and around 450 kilopascals of strength.
Would this get something closer to the best of both worlds? Strength and weight of bagged wings, with the accuracy of moulded wings?
Obvious problems:
1. Mixing and pouring the foam is tricky. Seems that you've only got about 20 seconds to get it in.
2. Produces some fairly nasty fumes.
3. Not normally UV stable.
4. May get brittle over time? (I read mixed comments on this).
It's also got no tensile strength to speak of, but that shouldn't matter.
(For example: http://www.lympro.com/lympol.htm )

I think it'd be great - where does the mould come from?

I have used P.U. glue to repair hollow molded wings, slit or drill hole, shoot some water in the hole, shoot or pour glue in, tape up, presto, instant foam core!! I did this to my Risk which had wing saddle damage to the front of the wing, very thin balsa, even thinner glass. It came out very solid, did have to add some weight to balance wing. I figured if it didn't work, the plane was junk, lucky it worked.
I know you're talking about building rather than repairing a wing, the biggest problem is foam-up, next biggest one is repair afterwards. Weight may play a major factor as well. Chris

Then before the epoxy is fully cured, trim and clamp the two moulds together. Then pour in PU foam mix from the root end. Swish it around and wait for it to foam up (and probably over, knowing me ) Put aside to set. Trim root and voila!

I used to do this with rally cars to stiffen up the chassis rails drill holes pour the foam in & cover any holes where the foam would come out so it was blocked in you could hear the metal creak as it expanded.
My concern is if you block up the holes it will expand so much it could distort the moulds !
You may be better off using high load 60 as the core in side of the bagged skins & gluing it in place with pu glue as the high load it a lot stiffer than just the pu glue

On my wing repair it added a considerable amount of weight as well. Chris

I also once carefully poured polyurethane foam through a hole in the bow bulkhead of a dinghy I'd just made, to find 5 minutes later that the deck had separated from the hull by 15mm.
I think this is one of the main reasons that this technique would be impractical for a model wing. I also see issues with the relaxation that the foam undergoes after it's initial expansion.

I think the guys who make the MINIJ and PRODIJ mold the top surface(in a mold) with the wing core on top of it - bagged, and then bag the bottom surface on. The results are really nice, and they have a reputation for strength. i seem to have an idea that the top surface is more critical for accuracy.

Hearts of Iron IV Summary
Latest news
Conscription and training looked at in new Hearts of Iron IV dev diary, PDXCon15 stream with Lead Designer
Paradox Development Studios has posted their latest developer diary for Hearts of Iron IV, and this write-up looks at conscription and training of our units, and they want us to feel as if we're "growing and nurturing" our armies.
This should help put "more focus into pre-war production," which hasn't always been that endearing. Manpower has "big changes" in Hearts of Iron IV, and they explain how training works.
Paradox 'would consider' Game of Thrones if they ever adopted another IP
The Game of Thrones universe is nothing new to the Paradox Interactive teams, especially as Crusader Kings II is often cited as 'being like Game of Thrones' with its RPG-based family drama, but would they ever go for the IP?
Paradox CEO Fred Wester said Game of Thrones would definitely be high of the list, but he's "still on the fence" about whether it would be good for Paradox or not. HBO has spoken with them about it.
Paradox Development Studios has two more titles in production using Clausewitz engine
The latest Clausewitz engine is fuelling the rise of nations and colonialism in Europa Universalis IV, and it's gearing up for all-out war in Hearts of Iron IV, but Paradox Development Studios has more in the works using that engine.
Crusader Kings II lead designer and Game Director Henrik Fåhraeus confirms there's "another game in production and yet another one in pre-production." Who's on the suspect list?

Hearts of Iron IV developer diary examines tanks, teases more alpha footage

Maryland Local Hobby Shops
Im really sorry if this isnt appropriate for this thread. I could find any section that was really appropriate so... here it goes.
So far I've had to buy all my parts online cause I cant find a local hobby shop that carries rc planes and its killing me. It takes soooo long to get anything done this way.
I live in Columbia, Maryland (Howard County). Its pretty much right between Washington DC and Baltimore. Does anyone know of a LHS with planes in the area?? The Columbia Mall has a little, but it's a hobby shop... in the mall... pathetic (for rc planes at least).
At this point, I'd be willing to drive a considerable distance. Being able to browse around and ask questions would be a miracle right now.

You're not missing much..Mosy LHS's don't know too much when it comes to new electrics...And, you'll most likely spend money on something you don't need or doesn't work properly for your application....or, they won't have what you need in stock.
Forums like this and the internet hobby shops are a godsend for serious e-modelers.
Now and then...here and there... there are exceptions...Good luck on your quest!

Dougs is another option http://www.dougshobby.com/, probably 2 hours from you in St. Mary's County. Excellent LHS, as far as electrics go it's a little thinner. Pretty wide range of E-flite outrunners and such. Batteries are spotty, a couple ESC's, decent range of low end chargers...

How about Hobbytown USA in Burtonsville, just off of RT 29 North?
Then there's Hobby Works next to Harbor Frieght on Rt 1 in Laurel.
...almost forgot about the Hobby town in Glen Burnie, up by the mall on Rt 2 north.
All have a small selection of electric stuff, but they'll do in a pinch.
GPA (Rt. 3 south in Crofton) isn't too bad for glow/gas - they're weak with electrics too (but they do have some brushless and Lipos). However, their pricing and attitude is typical of the "we're the only guy in town" stores.
Hope this helps,
|Mar 21, 2006, 06:55 AM
Actually I think GPA is the best in the area for electric stuff. They've been making a real effort to stock more lipos, ESCs, motors, etc. They also have a good selection of park flyers on the shelves. Much better than Doug's Hobby Shop (which by the way has moved further south to Hollywood, MD). Last time I was in Doug's they had only about 2 electric ARFs on the shelf, no brushless ESCs, no lipos.
|Mar 21, 2006, 06:59 AM
Also, it's not really local, but if you ever get over to the Virginia side by Dulles Airport stop by Hobby Hanger. They are all RC and have a fantastic selection of electric stuff as well as gas/glow and helicopters. The back room is stuffed to the rafters with kits and ARFs. I have to leave my credit card at home when I go there!

I have to tell ya. The three shops that I go to regularly are GPA, HobbyTown in Glenn Burnie and Hobby Works in Columbia. Most of my purchases are online.
|Mar 21, 2006, 10:04 AM
I dunno guys, I guess I'm just spoiled with the selection (and great prices) online. If I need balsa, CA, props, fuel, or the occasional piece of hardware I'll hit the local stores, but for the big $$$ purchases, I'll go online and wait the two or three days it takes to get it.
|Mar 21, 2006, 11:40 AM
The Dougs Hobby shop in waldorf just closed down recently they shifted all operations to their other store much much further away.
I've seen but never been to gpahobbies. They the previous responses are correct, it's probably just best to order online. There's another in Landover area but it is VERY overpriced compared to what dougs was.
How many marylanders are there on the site?
|Mar 21, 2006, 11:43 AM
My wife is unlucky I guess. I'm only 15 minutes from Hobby Hanger in Chantilly Virginia. I can only think of one time I've gone there and they didn't have what I was looking for. I only fly electrics.
Their prices can be a little high though. They currently have Hitec HS-55's for around $22 -$23 but you can get them online for less than $15 each. If I need something now I always go there cause they have it. If I can wait I just order online.

Hobbytown in Frederick is not terribly far from you. Has a decent and slowly growing selection of stuff, but maddingly inconsistent in keeping up their inventory so it is sort of hit or miss for what you might need. Like many hobby stores RC cars are the main thing but a couple of the staff have a passing knowledge of airplanes.
However, if you are going to make a road trip out of it go to Hobby Hanger in Virginia. By far the best selection I have ever seen at a hobby store plus folks who know their stuff. Usually takes me a couple of hours to get out of there. Worth the trip.

AFP reporter Bhavan Jaipragas says there were surreal scenes at City Hall as strangers huddled together under umbrellas waiting for the cortège to pass, with shouts of "Mr Lee" and "LKY, and people sobbing and dabbing their eyes. 04:57 GMT - Gun salute - Army howitzers fired off a 21-gun salute and F16 fighters shrieked overhead as the cortège made its way through Singapore's civic square, where Lee Kuan Yew was first sworn in as prime minister in 1959.
SINGAPORE (AP) — Tens of thousands of Singaporeans undeterred by heavy rains lined a 15 kilometer (9 mile) route through the Southeast Asian city-state to witness an elaborate funeral procession Sunday for longtime leader Lee Kuan Yew.
The Empire State Building dimmed its lights and the Eiffel Tower went dark as iconic landmarks across the world observed Earth Hour, the global climate change awareness campaign. The usually glittering nighttime majesty of the Empire State Building was set to "faint sparkle" in New York, while theaters on Broadway also toned down the neon. Millions of people around the world were taking part in the annual Earth Hour organized by conservation group WWF, with a string of well-known sights plunging into darkness globally. The famous Las Vegas strip went dim, with the replica Eiffel Tower at Paris Hotel turning its lights off, along with several hotels and casinos that normally illuminate the main drag in Sin City.

… Read the rest
Our species is not going to last forever. One way or another, humanity will vanish from the Universe, but before it does, it might summon together sufficient computing power to emulate human experience, in all of its rich detail. Some philosophers and physicists have begun to wonder if we're already there. Maybe we are in a computer simulation, and the reality we experience is just part of the program.
Modern computer technology is extremely sophisticated, and with the advent of quantum computing, it's likely to become more so. With these more powerful machines, we'll be able to perform large-scale simulations of more complex physical systems, including, possibly, complete living organisms, maybe even humans. But why stop there?
The idea isn't as crazy as it sounds. A pair of philosophers recently argued that if we accept the eventual complexity of computer hardware, it's quite probable we're already part of an 'ancestor simulation', a virtual recreation of humanity's past.

Bluestar range with 24"backguard with painted wood vent hood look
Would a 36" stainless Bluestar range with a 24" tall stainless backguard look ok with a painted wood hood or would that range/tall backguard combination look better with a stainless/metal hood?
I can't seem to find a single picture of a prosumer range and high backguard with a painted wood hood. They all seem to have a stainless steel hood.
I've added a picture to show the wood hood style I had in mind.
Any opinions would be appreciated.

Kind of like this (although I think this is a plaster hood)
How practical are painted hoods in terms of cleaning and durability since you have steam and grease etc.?

In all of my hours of researching 1911's, weighing and wading through the online internet b.s. to pick out trends and the truth, I have come across but one gripe regarding a SR1911. Believe me I have looked hard for any complaints as I wanted one like real bad, but could not find one at a decent price and moved on.
As far as the Remington goes, they seem to have their fair share of problems and Remington's customer service seems to be a tad, lets say spotty in fixing any problems.
The Ruger 1911 is a pretty new gun (released to production not more than a year ago)....
Not sure that it has been around long enough to hear everything that there is to hear about (good or bad).
I do know that the demand for them is exceeding the supply right now & they are pretty scarce.
Texan By Birth & Choice
Yeah me too....
The folks that do have them do seem to love them too. I have just seen one - about a week back at one of the LGS. They had one in. It was cool to look at just because it was the 1st one I'd seen.
I'd pick the Ruger between the two - too!
Both are nice guns for the money. The Ruger is hard to find and to many people want to much for them. Buy the Remington and shoot the snot out of it. Just take them apart and clean them well before shooting and remember if it slides grease it and oil all else.
Also in the price range is the springfield milspec. I just picked one up about a month and a half ago. Only about 300 rounds through it so far, but no failure of any type. Federal, tulammo, and blazer aluminum cased. Next up, hopefully in just a few days, is some light target ammo a buddy has laying around. Due to personal reasons, I can't really go out and buy ammo at the moment, but this guy has this ammo sitting on a shelf, and no .45 to shoot it through. Going to get some very much needed range and cleaning therapy in the next couple days...
It's been flawless no problems it eats whatever I feed it I use the Remington mags... well along with all my other mags with no trouble I'm very happy with it.
It is the "Enhanced" version. I shot with a fellow this past weekend who has the Ruger 1911 he said he's had it for 6 months with very few problems he said he's run about a 1,000 rounds of everything through it without a hiccup, although while we were shooting he had 2 failure to lock on a empty mag, he felt like it was a bad magazine.

South Louisiana mallows
The consensus seems to be that hollyhocks are nearly impossible to grow in the New Orleans area. Does anyone know what other members of the mallow family will grow here?
I recently found a salt marshmallow growing wild nearby. When the seeds are ripe I plan to take some and try them in my garden next year. It has bright pink-red flowers and a purplish stem.
hollyhocks are members of the malvacea which include hibiscus. these do very well in new orleans and lucky you even some of the more tropical species survive most winters where you are. i am north of the lake and have to baby my tender ones indoors all winter, while my father in law, who also lives south of the lake has his growing as tall as his roof. you may find the hibiscus a suitable alternative to hollyhocks and the range of colors is staggering. some of this years winners at the local shows are listed at the link i will post and you can see for yourself.
Here is a link that might be useful: new orleans hibiscus society
I grow Malvaviscus drummondii, better know as Turk's Cap. It grows in full sun to shade. It looks best in partial shade or morning sun. Attracts hummingbirds.
Here is a link that might be useful: Turk's Cap
Thanks for the answers. I am ordering seeds of several species of hibiscus - I already grow tropical hibiscus, about 10 kinds. From a seed dealer with very unusual seeds I am ordering several mallows that are supposed to be good for heat, including Abelmoschus. I will report later on how they do.
hi there!cant understand why you are having such trouble growing holyhocks.was on a visit to my daughters in 1998,went to boston and got some seeds from a home there.planted the seeds,babied them (everyone said they would not grow in the south),put the plants in a bed outside and they have thrived and bloomed everyother year.no special care.would love to share with you if you like?
I'm in Arabi (N.O. burb) and had a neighbor last year who grew a chocolate brown hollyhock that must have been 6 feet tall. It didn't come back but was fantastic.
Don't forget the rose of sharrons. I have the Texas star hibiscus. Its a great hardy type. And a variegated tropical that lights up the place. :>
It just occured to me to wonder if people don't do well growing hollyhocks here because they aren't aware they're biennials. They tend to be weedy where I grew up (western Washington state) and I didn't try them when I was told they wouldn't grow here. The thing with a bienniel is it grows one year, blooms and seeds the second year, and then dies. If you collect some seed every year and keep them coming you can have them every year, and they will self-sow sometimes, but they won't come back otherwise. Great fun for kids--you make 'ladies' with a bloom and a bud or green seed-pod for the head, and the seeds decorate mud-pies nicely.
First, let me say that as I understand it Hollyhocks do not do well here for two reasons; one is that the climate makes them very susceptible to rust, the other is that they like many other plants cannot take our warm summer nights - it interferes with their matabolism.
I did buy a small annual hollyhock at a local nursery, and kept it alive for awhile, long enopugh to get blooms. I am also raising mallows from seeds I obtained, with mixed results. Slugs demolished many of them. others are doing OK but will not be big enough to bloom this year.
I got some Escar-go as much because I liked the name as because I wanted less slugs and snails, but it really does seem to get rid of them. I'm only now beginning to see a few of them, and just little ones, and I haven't applied any since last year. I think Slug-go is the same thing. If I remember right, it's an iron phosphate formulation that breaks down to be a fertilizer. Much better than poison baits that can kill the birds and your cats and dogs, or diatomaceous earth or beer that has to be renewed every time it rains (three or four times a day?!)
I have had two hollyhock plants grow to over 6 ft here. (Ponchatoula) For me, they grew some the first year then really grew and bloomed the second year. I think one of the problems with hollyhocks is the heat. The one that bloomed this year could not take the heat we are having now, but earlier in the year it was beautiful. Add too much water to the heat and they just melt away. I tried planting malva zebrinas in pots in the fall, transplating in the spring. They bloomed some and the flowers were very pretty. But they could not take the heat and all the rain. I grow the Texas Red Star hibiscus, which is about seven ft tall this year and it will bloom from the really hot days until frost usually. I also grow the native hibiscus, cream color with maroon throat and some dinnerplate hardy hibiscus in pink and also maroon. I don't grow the tropicals because I don't like having to protect plants in winter. Keep trying with the hollyhocks, if you get just one to make it, it will be worth it. Sherri
If you seed hollyhocks in mid to late September, they'll sprout and overwinter just fine and bloom the following summer, usually late May, early June here. Then if you let the seeds develop and fall, they'll sprout the coming fall and you'll have hollyhocks every year. The same with foxgloves, sweet william, wallflowers, poppies, and sweet peas.

Corvette exterior design manager Kirk Bennion has been working with in the Corvette design studio since 1986. He recently spoke with Faces of GM about the new 2014 Corvette Stingray and the five goals the design team had when creating the next generation sports car. According to Kirk, those five goals were: Change the Upper
The 2014 Corvette Stingray made its West Coast debut at the big 60th Anniversary Corvette Celebration at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles a couple of weekends ago, and there for the occasion were several Corvette notables, including designer Kirk Bennion. Bennion took a few moments to talk with a reporter from the L.A.
It seems that where ever the 2014 Corvette Stingray goes, there's an unveiling. Last weekend in the Corvette Corral tent at the 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't any different. With Corvette Chief Engineer beginning his discussion about the next generation car, Corvette Product Manager Harlan Charles and Corvette Assembly Plant Manager Dave Tatman pulled the

It seems that everyone loves supply chain financing (SCF) these days. You could even say it's a winning proposition — suppliers appreciate the access to affordable liquidity, visibility into payments, and the opportunity to drive working capital improvements while buyers use it as a tool to streamline the payables process for trade-related invoices. Attaining these desirable outcomes however is a far from simple proposition. Global firms could accelerate their path to achieving these benefits – and amplify the positive results - if they asked certain key questions earlier in the process, better understood whether SCF was a good fit for their strategic working capital needs, and properly organized for success. There are five critical pieces of information that, if collected and evaluated, can be fit together to create the most appropriate program for buyers and their suppliers.

This new husband-and-wife Champagne house is the product of two venerable Champagne families. Olivier Collard is the grandson of the great René Collard in the village of Reuil, one of the most respected and venerable recoltant-manipulants in all of Champagne. His wife, Delphine Picard, is the cousin of Chantal Gonet of Champagne Phillipe Gonet in Mesnil. Their heritage gives them access to some of the best fruit in the entire Champagne region. Olivier's vineyards are in the western valley of the Marne, where Pinot Meunier is king, and there is no family with more mastery of this native-to-Champagne plant than the Collards. Delphine's vineyards are in the hallowed, pure chalk soils of Mesnil-sur-Oger, the most famous of all the Grand Crus for Chardonnay. This bottling is all from Olivier's side of the family holdings and is 50% Meunier and 50% Pinot Noir. The base wine is fermented in stainless steel with no malolactic fermentation. The reserve wines are aged in giant foudres (1,000 liter or larger barrels) to encourage some contact with oxygen but to avoid flavoring the wine with barrel spice. This is a fresh Champagne with a straw color and a subtly pear-like nose from the Meunier. On the palate it is round and full, with plenty of richness and body from the Pinot Noir. The wine is still fresh and vibrant on the finish, and makes a great aperitif. (Gary Westby, K&L Champagne Buyer)

The animation is great,song is TeRiBble
I come back everyday to watch this video. It's that awesome.
Beautiful. Was giving me that Neverending Stoooorryyyyyyy vibe.
I love your randomness, our perhaps it's part of your masterplan...? Good animation and music, I know I'm jealous of the space wallrus, and that mustache? Sessy as fuck!
The link to adventure legend quest was nice, because it was really enjoyable and I'm looking forward to see more :)
All in all solid work mr. Sessual Lobster, you are indeed one of the best on Newgrounds!
May John Lennon smile upon you. Goo goo g'joob.

Spy bother? NBC's 'Undercovers' runs low on intelligence - 0 Comments
Are you ready for some "sexyspionage"?
Go somewhere else.
J.J. Abrams' "Undercovers" is a woebegone spy drama with nary a hint of intelligence. Call it "The Quantum of Stupor."
The man behind "Alias," "Lost" and the big-screen reboot of "Star Trek" stumbles with this glossy but empty hour about married ex-spies lured back into the cloak-and-dagger business.

What is the pH of limestone dust?
Hi all,
I have a walking path that is topped with something I get from the local quarry called Quarter Inch dust. It has small limestone (1/4 inch) gravel mixed with very fine limestone dust. I've noticed that some plants (usually the ones that like well drained soil) creep out into the path and really seem to like growing in the 1/4 inch dust path. So this got me curious as to what the pH of limestone dust is. This is not a white powder like lime you get in a bag. The rock and dust are gray.
The pH of crushed limestone that I have seen is around 8.0 something so your stone would be somewhere around the same.
As a geologist I'd have to know the asociate materials of the original limestone. A lot depends on the matrix (think of marble vs crumbly mortar). Probably a rating of anywhere of the high 7s to 8.6.
Remember, however, the 'dust' is not all soluble (marble vs mortar). Also, your rainwater is probably around 5.5 or even 5.3 and probably offsets any leaching out from the dust. The 'stuff' in the cracks, although sort of limey, might actually not be any more base or acidic than the surrounding soil.
You can sometimes speculate as to the ph of the soil by what weeds easily grow.
