Extinct frog rediscovered in Israel
(11/21/2011) After its marshland was drained, researchers thought the Hula painted frog (Discoglossus nigriventer) had vanished for good. However a patrol at the Ha-Hula lake in Israel recently discovered a single female amphibian that turned out to be the long-lost, and long-sought, Hula painted frog.
Dole abandons banana plantation in National Park
(11/21/2011) After a threat of lawsuit, Dole Inc. has abandoned a banana plantation in Somawathiya National Park in Sri Lanka. The US-based food giant had partnered with a local company, Letsgrow Ltd, to grow bananas for export markets at the bank of the Mahaweli River, but Dole ran into trouble when local conservation organizations pointed out they were illegally destroying forest and planting crops in Somawathiya National Park, home to elephants and many other imperiled species. Local group, Environmental Foundation Limited (EFL), obtained past and current satellite images to prove that the company was operation within the park.
Discovery Channel cuts climate change episode from Planet Earth follow-up
(11/17/2011) The new series Frozen Planet, by the creators of the super-popular and universally-acclaimed Planet Earth, details the wildlife and changing nature of the world's poles: the Antarctic and the Arctic. But while the four-year production filmed seven episodes, American audiences will only be treated to six. Discovery Channel has dropped the last episode that deals specifically with climate change.
Photos: five wild cat species documented in Sumatran forest imperiled by logging
(11/16/2011) A single forest corridor in Sumatra has yielded camera trap photos of five wild cats species, including the Critically Endangered Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae). Photos were also taken of the Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi), the marbled cat (Pardofelis marmorata), the Asian golden cat (Pardofelis temminckii), and the leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis). The five species were all filmed by a WWF camera trap survey in a single forest corridor linking the forest of Bukit Tigapuluh and the Rimbang Baling Wildlife Sanctuary in Riau Province. Unfortunately this forest remains unprotected.
Featured video: world's only video of extinct 2-foot-long imperial woodpecker
(11/16/2011) Newly-discovered video has brought the extinct imperial woodpecker (Campephilus imperialis) back to life—at least for a few seconds.
New app works to raise awareness of endangered species
(11/16/2011) Want to learn more about gorillas, whales, elephants, sharks, and penguins? A new mobile app hopes to raise awareness and conservation efforts for the world's endangered species. Dubbed 'Survival', the new app is a game that also raises knowledge about endangered species. Created by wildlife and media NGO, Wildscreen, the app is available free on the App store and Android Market.
Giant rat plays big ecological role in dispersing seeds
(11/16/2011) Rats are rarely thought of as heroes. In fact, in many parts of the world they are despised, while in others they serve largely as food. But, scientists are now discovering that many tropical forest rodents, including rats, serve as heroic seed dispersers, i.e. eating fruits and nuts, and carrying seeds far from the parent tree, giving a chance to a new sapling. While this has been documented with tropical rodents in South America like agoutis and acouchis, a new study in Biotropica documents the first successful seed dispersal by an African rodent: the Kivu giant pouched rat (Cricetomys kivuensis), one of four species of giant African rats.
PHOTO: Adorable penguin chicks score their own blog
(11/15/2011) A new blog, dubbed the Real Chicks of Central Park, is allowing visitors an intimate look at eight impossibly-cute penguin chicks. Including video, photos, and interviews the blog is an attempt to raise awareness about penguins. The highlighted chicks include four gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua) and four chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarcticus).
Animal picture of the day: tracking the world's smallest elephant
(11/15/2011) Researchers have fitted three Bornean elephants with satellite collars to track them across the Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary, in the Malaysian state of Sabah, Borneo. The effort means currently five elephants are being tracked. The tracking is a part of a collaborative effort by the Sabah Wildlife Department (SWD), the NGO HUTAN, and the Danau Girang Field Centre (DGFC).
10,000 dead songbirds headed to Italian restaurants confiscated
(11/15/2011) Bushmeat, referring to wild animals killed (often illegally) for consumption, is usually considered a conservation problem in developing nations in Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America. However, a recent bust on the Hungarian-Romanian border proves that Europe is not immune: Hungarian officials seized around 10,000 dead songbirds. The birds were likely heading to restaurants in northern Italy according to wildlife trade monitoring group, TRAFFIC.
US reduces catch limit of 'most important fish in the sea'
(11/15/2011) The Atlantic State Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) has slashed the allowable catch of a tiny fish named menhaden by 37 percent by 2013. Dubbed the 'most important fish in the sea' by author H. Bruce Franklin, the menhaden plays a critical role in marine ecosystems as a food source for larger fish, seabirds, and marine mammals, as well as helping to regulate the marine environment. However, due to overfishing the menhaden fish has dropped 92 percent from its historical population.
800 nearly-extinct giant snails freeze to death in conservation center
(11/14/2011) Eight hundred large carnivorous snails, known as Powelliphanta snails (Powelliphanta augusta), died in a Department of Conservation (DOC) fridge in New Zealand over the weekend. A faulty temperature gauge caused the fridge to cool down to zero degrees Celsius, slowly killing all the molluscs but a lone survivor. The snails in question were taken from Mount Augustus into captivity before their habitat was mined for coal.
Forest elephant populations cut in half in protected area
(11/14/2011) Warfare and poaching have decimated forest elephant populations across their range with even elephants in remote protected areas cut down finds a new study in PLoS ONE. Surveying forest elephant populations in the Okapi Faunal Reserve in the Democratic Republic of Congo, researchers have found that the population has fallen by half—from 6,439 to 3,288—over the past decade in the park.

(11/13/2011) A river and forest in Gooseberry Falls State Park in the US state of Minnesota. The forest here is made up primarily of evergreens, aspen, and birch.
IEA warns: five years to slash emissions or face dangerous climate change
(11/13/2011) Not known for alarmism and sometimes criticized for being too optimistic, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned that without bold action in the next five years the world will lock itself into high-emissions energy sources that will push climate change beyond the 2 degrees Celsius considered relatively 'safe' by many scientists and officials.
Critically Endangered lemurs disperse seeds, store carbon
(11/13/2011) Many tropical plants depend on other species to carry their progeny far-and-wide. Scientists are just beginning to unravel this phenomenon, known as seed dispersal, which is instrumental in supporting the diversity and richness of tropical forests. Researchers have identified a number of animal seed dispersers including birds, rodents, monkeys, elephants, and even fish. Now a new study in the Journal of Tropical Ecology adds another seed disperser to that list: the Critically Endangered black-and-white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata). Capable of dispersing big tree species, the black-and-white ruffed lemur may even play a big role in carbon sequestration.
Obama Administration bows to pressure, delays tar sands pipeline
(11/10/2011) In what can only be described as a major victory for green activists, the Obama Administration has announced it will delay a decision on TransCanada's controversial Keystone XL pipeline for 12-18 months. Notably, putting the decision off until after the last election. The delay comes less than a week after about 12,000 people encircled the White House in opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline, which they argue threatens one of the most important water supplies in America's heartland and will worsen climate change.
Chemotherapy tree facing extinction
(11/10/2011) A yew tree in the Himalayas that produces the chemotherapy drug, Taxol, is in danger of extinction. An update to the IUCN Red List, has moved the tree, named Taxus contorta, from Vulnerable to Endangered. Overharvesting for medicine and fuelwood have placed the species in serious danger.
First ever survey shows Sumatran tiger hanging on as forests continue to vanish
(11/10/2011) The first-ever Sumatran-wide survey of the island's top predator, the Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae), proves that the great cat is holding on even as forests continue to vanish. The study, carried out by eight NGOs and the Indonesian government, shows that the tiger is still present in 70 percent of the forests surveyed, providing hope for the long-term survival of the subspecies if remaining forests are protected.
Photos: bizarre shell of new snail baffles researchers
(11/10/2011) A new species of snail with a bizarre shell has surprised scientists. Discovered near massive waterfalls in pristine lowland rainforest in New Guinea, the tiny new species' shell is shaped like a cornucopia, spirals flying freely instead of fused together like most shells. Latvian malacologist (one who study molluscs) Kristine Greke, who described the new species, named it Ditropopsis mirabilis, meaning miraculous or extraordinary. To date, scientists are uncertain why the super small snail—2 to 6 millimeters (0.07 to 0.23 inches)—would have evolved such a strange shell.
Unanimous agreement among scientists: Earth to suffer major loss in species
(11/09/2011) The thylacine, the dodo, the great auk, the passenger pigeon, the golden toad: these species have become symbols of extinction. But they are only the tip of the recent extinction crisis, and according to a survey of 583 conservation scientists, they are only the beginning. In a new survey in Conservation Biology, 99.5 percent of conservation scientists said a serious loss in biodiversity was either 'likely', 'very likely', or 'virtually certain'. The prediction of a significant loss of species is not surprising—scientists have been warning for decades that if global society continues with business as usual the world will suffer from mass extinction—what is perhaps surprising is the practically unanimous expectation that a global biodiversity decline will occur.
Beetle bonanza: 84 new species prove richness of Indo-Australian islands
(11/08/2011) Re-examining beetle specimens from 19 museums has led to the discovery of 84 new beetle species in the Macratria genus. The new species span the islands of Indonesia, New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands, tripling the number of known Macratria beetles in the region. "Species of the genus Macratria are cosmopolitan, with the highest species diversity in the tropical rainforests. Only 28 species of this genus were previously known from the territory of the Indo-Australian transition," Dr. Dmitry Telnov with the Entomological Society of Latvia, who discovered the new species, told mongabay.com.
Featured video: camera traps catch Andean cats and others in Argentina
(11/07/2011) Camera traps set up in the Jujuy Province of Argentina have captured rare images of the elusive and playful Andean cat and Pampas cat, along with other South American wildlife, including vizcachas, culpeo foxes, and skunks.
12,000 surround White House to protest tar sands pipeline
(11/07/2011) One year to the day before the 2012 US election, up to 12,000 activists encircled the White House to protest the Keystone XL pipeline, a proposed 1,700 mile pipeline that would carry oil from Canada's infamous tar sands to the US and other foreign markets. Critics of the TransCanada pipeline have warned of potential spills in America's heartland as well as the climate impacts of allowing more tar sands oil, which has a higher carbon footprint than conventional sources, into the US and other markets. The issue has galvanized climate and environmental activists in the US with the massive rally on Sunday preceded by civil disobedience actions in late summer that lead to the arrests of 1,253 people.
Animal picture of the day: crowned lemur and baby
(11/06/2011) Like all of the world's hundred-plus lemur species, the crowned lemur (Eulemur coronatus) is only found on the island of Madagascar. They inhabit the northern tip of the island.
The dam-maker: China involved in 289 dam projects worldwide
(11/06/2011) China is currently involved in 289 hydroelectric projects worldwide, as reported by International Rivers. Most of the dams are built for hydropower, and over half are considered 'large' projects. The list includes completed dams, one currently under construction, and ones in initial planning stages.
Last year's greenhouse gas emissions topple worst-case scenario
(11/06/2011) Global greenhouse gas emissions last year exceeded worst-case scenario predictions from just four years before, according to the US Department of Energy (DOE). A rise of 6 percent (564 million additional tons) over 2009 levels was largely driven by three nations: the US, India, and China. Emissions from burning coal jumped 8 percent overall. The new data, supported by a similar report from International Energy Agency (IEA), make it even more difficult for nations to make good on a previous pledge to hold back the world from warming over 2 degrees Celsius.
Coral reef biodiversity may be vastly underestimated
(11/03/2011) Researchers with the Smithsonian have catalogued almost as many crab species on tropical coral reef bits measuring just 20.6 square feet (6.3 square meters) as in all of Europe's seas, finds a new paper in PLoS ONE. The team used DNA barcoding to quickly identify a total of 525 crustaceans (including 168 crab species) from dead coral chunks taken from seven sites in the tropics, including the Indian, Pacific and Caribbean oceans.
New site is a match-maker for world's endangered frogs
(11/03/2011) A new initiative by the conservation group, Amphibian Ark, hopes to match lonely, vanishing frogs with a prince/princess to to save them. Dubbed FrogMatchMaker.com after online dating sites, the program is working to connect supporters and donors with amphibian conservation programs in need. Currently, amphibians are among the world's most imperiled species with 41 percent threatened with extinction according to the IUCN Red list.
South Africa hits record poaching of rhinos—again
(11/03/2011) Two months before the end of the year, the number of rhinos killed for their horns in South Africa has surpassed last year's breaking record, reports conservation organizations WWF and TRAFFIC. So far, 341 rhinos have been lost to poaching this year; while last year saw a total record of 333. The news follows last week's announcement that the Vietnamese rhino (Rhinoceros sondaicus annamiticus), a subspecies of the Javan rhino, has gone extinct—the last individual killed by a poachers' bullet. Rhinos are killed for their horns which are used in traditional Chinese medicine, even though numerous studies have shown there is no medicinal benefit to consuming rhino horn.
Picture of the day: Mekong sunrise
(11/02/2011) The Mekong River, the world's 10th largest, flows through six countries in East Asia: China, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
Saving Ghana's vanishing frogs
(11/02/2011) Frogs need all the help they can get. With the IUCN Red List estimating that 41 percent of amphibians are endangered, frogs are currently the world's most imperiled animal family. Scientists estimate that around 200 amphibian species have been lost to extinction in recent decades to habitat loss, pollution, and a devastating fungal disease. Yet as the frog emergency worsens, there have been positive movements in conservation. The most recent comes from the small West African country of Ghana. Partnering with the enthusiastic US-based organization, SAVE THE FROGS!, two Ghanaian herpetologists, Gilbert Baase Adum and Caleb Ofori, have started a sister branch in their country: SAVE THE FROGS! Ghana.
Climate change already worsening weird, deadly, and expensive weather
(11/02/2011) Unprecedented flooding in Thailand, torrential rains pummeling El Salvador, long-term and beyond-extreme drought in Texas, killer snowstorm in the eastern US—and that's just the last month or so. Extreme weather worldwide appears to be both increasing in frequency and intensity, and a new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) connects the dots between wilder weather patterns and global climate change.
Picture of the day: cookies and cream moth?
(11/01/2011) This moth species from Panama has not yet been identified by mongabay.com. Moths makes up the bulk of the insect-family Lepidoptera, which also includes butterflies.
Hydroelectric dam still a greenhouse gas source after 10 years
(11/01/2011) Hydroelectric power is often promoted as green energy, yet dams, especially in the tropics, can be significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions. When built, reservoirs trap vegetation, which, as it rots, emits both methane and carbon into the atmosphere. A new study in Science of the Total Environment found that a dam in Lao PDR remained a significant source of greenhouse gas emission even a decade after construction.
Unsung heroes: the life of a wildlife ranger in the Congo
(11/01/2011) The effort to save wildlife from destruction worldwide has many heroes. Some receive accolades for their work, but others live in obscurity, doing good—sometimes even dangerous—work everyday with little recognition. These are not scientists or big-name conservationists, but wildlife rangers, NGO staff members, and low level officials. One of these conservation heroes is Bunda Bokitsi, chief guard of the Etate Patrol Post for Salonga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In a nation known for a prolonged civil war, desperate poverty, and corruption—as well as an astounding natural heritage—Bunda Bokitsi works everyday to secure Salonga National Park from poachers, bushmeat hunters, and trappers.
Picture of the day: world's scariest species
(10/31/2011) What's the world's scariest species? Runner-up would likely be the mosquito species that transmit malaria. Nearly a million people die from malaria annually, making up some 2.23 percent of deaths worldwide.
Featured video: could a forest be worth more than a gold mine?
(10/31/2011) Jason A. Sohigian, the Deputy Director of the Armenia Tree Project (ATP), presents at TEDx on the often-unacknowledged economic value of forests, including wildlife habitat, safeguarding watersheds, soil health, and tourism. In Amerina, Sohigian estimates the economic value of forests to be between $7 million to $1.1 billion annually, if not more.
Bat-killing culprit identified by scientists
(10/31/2011) First identified in 2005, white-nose syndrome has killed over a million bats in the US, pushing once common species to the edge of collapse and imperiling already-endangered species. Striking when bats hibernate, the disease leaves a white dust on the bat's muzzle, causing them to starve to death. Long believed to be caused by a fungus in the genus Geomyces, researchers publishing in Nature have confirmed that the disease is produced by the species, Geomyces destructans.
Photos: Halloween creepy-crawlies of the natural world
(10/31/2011) Everyone loves the beautiful animals, the playful orangutans, the rolly-polly pandas, the regal tigers, the wise elephants, the awe-inspiring whales, the silly penguins—and it shows. Aside from gracing calendars and starring in movies, these species receive millions in conservation funds and have no shortage of researchers devoted to them. But what about the ugly, crawly, shiver-inducing species? What about those animals that crawl instead of bound,that are slimy instead of furry, that inhabit the deep dark place of the world.
11 challenges facing 7 billion super-consumers
(10/31/2011) Perhaps the most disconcerting thing about Halloween this year is not the ghouls and goblins taking to the streets, but a baby born somewhere in the world. It's not the baby's or the parent's fault, of course, but this child will become a part of an artificial, but still important, milestone: according to the UN, the Earth's seventh billionth person will be born today. That's seven billion people who require, in the very least, freshwater, food, shelter, medicine, and education. In some parts of the world, they will also have a car, an iPod, a suburban house and yard, pets, computers, a lawn-mower, a microwave, and perhaps a swimming pool. Though rarely addressed directly in policy (and more often than not avoided in polite conversations), the issue of overpopulation is central to environmentally sustainability and human welfare.
Photos: three bizarre bats discovered in Southeast Asia
(10/30/2011) In the forests of Cambodia and Vietnam, researchers have discovered three new species of tube-nosed bats, known for extraordinary nostrils that look like blooming flowers. The new bats, described in the Journal of Mammalogy, are likely imperiled by deforestation. "They all possess specially shaped nostrils (hence the name for the group) the exact role of which not known yet," Gabor Csorba, lead author of the paper with the Hungarian Natural History Museum, told mongabay.com.
Photos: camera traps reveal oil's unexpected impact on Arctic birds
(10/26/2011) A study in the Alaskan Arctic, employing camera traps, has shown that oil drilling impacts migrating birds in an unexpected way. The study found that populations of opportunistic predators, which prey on bird eggs or fledglings, may increase in oil drilling areas, putting extra pressure on nesting birds. Predators like fox, ravens, and gulls take advantage of industry infrastructure for nests and dens, moving into areas that may otherwise be inhospitable. In addition, garbage provides sustenance for larger populations of the opportunists.
Killer Russian heatwave product of climate change
(10/26/2011) Last year's Russian heatwave and drought resulted in vast wildfires and a morality rate that was 56,000 people higher than the same period in 2009. Now, researchers have published a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) that finds the heatwave would very likely have never happened if not for climate change. The study flies in the face of previous research by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that concluded the heatwave was simply due to natural variation and not a warming world.
Small marine fish need protection too
(10/25/2011) It has long been known that overfishing has decimated some populations of tuna, shark, cod, as well as other big predatory fish; however two recent studies have pointed out that overfishing is also threatening small fish such as anchovies, sardines, mackerel, herring, menhaden, and krill. Although tiny, these species are vital to marine ecosystems since many species higher up on the food chain—from seabirds to marine mammals to big fish—wholly depend on them for survival.
Featured video: the fungi photographer
(10/25/2011) Of all of the Earth's multitude of lifeforms, fungi may get the least respect. Including mushrooms, molds, and yeasts, around 100,000 species have been described to date, yet hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions, remain unnamed.
Picture of the day: bromeliads in a cloud forest
(10/25/2011) These bromeliads of the cloud forests of the Andes are epiphytes. While they grow on other plants, in these cases trees, they are not parasitic.
Vietnamese rhino goes extinct
(10/25/2011) In 2009 poachers shot and killed the world's last Vietnamese rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus annamiticus), a subspecies of the Javan rhino, confirms a report from International Rhino Foundation (IRF) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The Vietnamese rhino was the last Javan rhino to survive on the Asian mainland and the second subspecies to vanish, following the extinction of the Indian Javan rhino (rhinoceros sondaicus inermis). The Javan rhino is the world's most imperiled rhino species with now only around 50 individuals surviving in a single park on its namesake island in Indonesia.
Sober up: world running out of time to keep planet from over-heating
(10/24/2011) If governments are to keep the pledge they made in Copenhagen to limit global warming within the 'safe range' of two degrees Celsius, they are running out of time, according to two sobering papers from Nature. One of the studies finds that if the world is to have a 66 percent chance of staying below a rise of two degrees Celsius, greenhouse gas emissions would need to peak in less than a decade and fall quickly thereafter. The other study predicts that pats of Europe, Asia, North Africa and Canada could see a rise beyond two degrees Celsius within just twenty years.
California finalizes cap-and-trade program
(10/24/2011) Bucking long-stalled efforts in the US to combat global climate change, California has approved final rules for a cap-and-trade program set to go into effect in 2013. The program will require large polluters in California to reduce emissions or to 'trade' emissions on the carbon market with another company or initiative that is sequestering carbon. The rules even allow companies outside the state to participate, creating clean energy incentives across the US.

Chronicles of the Struggle of Slaves in Pre Civil War America
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JEFFREY BROWN: "Her first glance was at the river, which lay, like Jordan, between her and the Canaan of Liberty on the other side." The words, describing a slave's flight to freedom, are from Harriet Beecher Stowe's classic anti-slavery novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The river is the Ohio.
And today, on its banks in Cincinnati, the new National Underground Railroad Freedom Center has been created to tell the story of those who struggled to escape slavery. Spencer Crew is the museum's director.
SPENCER CREW: People would come across the Ohio and first touch freedom. So we are right here, where people found freedom for the first time. For us, the symbolism is really wonderful and really powerful.
JEFFREY BROWN: But the main focus here is on those who risked their lives to escape their shackles and head north on the so-called "underground railway" — a house here, a hiding place there.
SPENCER CREW: A lot of people first think of it as a railroad in the traditional sense and that it's something that goes underground. But in fact, it's really just the loose organization of individuals who are dedicated to either escaping from slavery themselves or helping those who are escaping make their way to freedom and on to better lives. So it's about helping people get opportunity.
JEFFREY BROWN: An estimated 100,000 slaves fled the south for the harrowing journey north, hoping to reach freedom in Canada. About half were recaptured.
Those on the run were often aided by a network of free blacks and abolitionist whites who also took tremendous risks.
SPENCER CREW: The laws of the land, like the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 and others, really said that you were breaking the law to be involved in the underground railroad. So people had to be very secretive.
JEFFREY BROWN: The museum's most powerful display is an actual slave pen from Maysville, Kentucky.
CARL WESTMORELAND: If you were up on the second floor, 14 and over, male, you would have been chained and shackled.
JEFFREY BROWN: Men, women and children, brought west from Virginia, which had a labor surplus, would be packed in here and held for weeks or months until sold or sent down river to auction in southern cities like Natchez, Mississippi.
JEFFREY BROWN: So this building held slaves. This is where they were kept?
CARL WESTMORELAND: Yes.
JEFFREY BROWN: Carl Westmoreland, a senior adviser to the museum, described how John Anderson, the pen's owner in the 1830s, ran his slave trading business.
CARL WESTMORELAND: In his letters, he talked about it the way farmers would talk about futures or the market price of crops. If the market was down, they would be kept here for months.
JEFFREY BROWN: And then they would be taken down the river to wherever.
CARL WESTMORELAND: This building sat 12 miles south of the Ohio River. So in a half day's walk, they would load them on flatboats and then start the 1,400 mile journey down to Natchez.
JEFFREY BROWN: The slave pen was preserved almost completely intact, because a barn was built over it in the late 1800s. For Westmoreland, it was a stunning moment when he went to see the farm's owner.
JEFFREY BROWN: Did you know what it was right away?
CARL WESTMORELAND: I felt the way I did when I went to Auschwitz.
I cried the minute I — I stayed in here about an hour and a half. He just let me alone. It was a chill and a feeling I'll never forget.
JEFFREY BROWN: You have — you can trace some of your own family history to places like this.
CARL WESTMORELAND: My mother's family was in slavery in Virginia, and they were brought through the Cumberland Gap to Richland, Kentucky, by the Walker Family. My father's last name was Westmoreland. They came from Virginia. And they were taken in chains over to Stone Mountain, Georgia, where they were emancipated.
So — 95 percent of the black families who live west of the Alleghenies– one million of the them were brought west to clear the land, to plant it, to harvest it.
JEFFREY BROWN: And brought to a place like this.
CARL WESTMORELAND: Brought to a place like this and then dispersed — husbands, wives separated, children separated.
JEFFREY BROWN: Even as the museum was under construction racial tension was high in Cincinnati, culminating in riots in 2001.
And at the museum, there's a conscious attempt to bring its story up to date. Contemporary heroes are prominently featured. Children can leave their thoughts and drawings on a Freedom Wall and visitors are asked to think about their own lives in the context of this history.
Ramona Everidge came with her high school class.
RAMONA EVERIDGE: I feel like it's showing people to stop violence. Because all this violence, it's people like us, black people, already went through — already struggled to come from. Why go back to violence? We just came — escaped from all that.
JEFFREY BROWN: Director Spencer Crew compares his center to museums dedicated to the Holocaust or other painful historical periods.
SPENCER CREW: There are a new group of museums which we refer to often as 'museums of conscience,' and they are places where they are really beginning to challenge visitors to think about the world, to think about their responsibility as members of that society and to find ways to either prevent things that are inappropriate from happening in the future or steps they can take to make that world better.
CARL WESTMORELAND: There's Simon, and, of course, there's John, who was epileptic. There's America, there's Ghana, and they were sold at auction.
JEFFREY BROWN: For his part, Carl Westmoreland uses the names of those held in the slave pen as a lesson of hope, especially for young visitors to the museum.
CARL WESTMORELAND: The upside is that we emerged from places like this. Every one of us came out of a place like this and became, like my father, a CPA, or became doctors, or just became the best janitor in the place.
But we survived places like this, unheated, chained, and it didn't break us.
JEFFREY BROWN: Museum officials estimate this mix of the past and present will draw some 200,000 visitors a year.

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. Among the players coming to Boston are Gerald Wallace and Kris Humphries. However, CSNNE Celtics insider Sherrod Blakely has learned that the team may be looking to deal those two. Wallace has three years left on his contract, while Humphries has only one year left on his. The Celtics currently have more players than they can keep on the active roster, thus the possibility of trades. CSNNE: Blakely: C's look to deal Wallace & Humphries This isn't exactly the most shocking news in the world. The Celtics didn't get Humphries and Wallace because they wanted Humphries and Wallace. They got them because they were a means to an end… specifically the means to the end of the Paul Pierce era, and the best available way to get assets in return for that. Now that that mission has been accomplished, it's time to move on. Th...

Join Sunshyne Land
Sunshyne Monroe, with her honey-colored skin, curvy bottom and innocent face, really presents the entire package. She also has quite the sizable addition between her legs. And trust me when I say that when that dick gets going, it can erupt with quite a bit of spunk. You can see it happen for yourself and also see much more of this ravishing tranny on Sunshyne Land.
I've reviewed quite a few of this network's sites. It's made up of many shemale ones and the ones I've come across include tranny-on-tranny fucking as well as shemales doing it with men and women. Sunshyne is all about the dudes, though. She sucks and fucks hung guys and gets them to work on her privates as well.
The content is divided into sections, including candids (albeit this is always empty), softcore and hardcore and you can have a look at 45 movies and 67 picture sets at the moment. The movies have MP4s that can be streamed in an embedded player and you can also grab one for your mobile device. If you really want to be blown away, download the HD Windows Media files.
Sunshyne not only wanks her own cock, but also has fun with toys, edible body paint and spanks a dude in a hotel room. The photo sets show off her playful side and show her smoking, playing with plastic wrap and shoving a large candle in her asshole. They aren't high-res on the site, but grab the Zip files and you'll get big high-res snapshots.
I really liked watching her slather blue and red paint on her bountiful ass cheeks and it's even more exciting watching her stick her painted finger in her ass. She then turns around to jerk her cock for you, but being quite the tease, saves the money shot for another time.
There aren't any extras to keep you occupied while you wait for something new, which is a bit of a bummer. You can sign up for a more expensive membership, though, and gain entry to loads of other shemale sites.
Sunshyne hasn't added any new movies since July 2014 and I wish she updated more often because this Tgirl is a real cutie and I like to watch her interact with the camera. Still, her reasonably priced site is worth joining.

An affordable guitar with a hand-selected solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and B-BAND electronics.
The Alvarez Artist Series AG60CE Acoustic-Electric Guitar is a Grand Auditorium, which has similar dimensions to the dreadnought, but a narrower waist helping to pronounce the treble notes a little more. Great for fingerpicking and strumming, the GA is an all-around type. This model is fitted with the SYS550 blend system with tuner. The AG60CE is a member of the Alvarez Artist '60 Series. Alvarez was careful to get the construction just right to allow this series to sing, and deliver a player experience that's exceptional for a mid-price instrument.
The Artist Series AG60CE is a "solid top" which refers to the soundboard of an acoustic guitar being made of solid wood, rather than being laminated. However, just because the top is solid, it doesn't necessarily mean the sound automatically benefits from this feature. The tone of the instrument only improves significantly when the whole guitar is built correctly to really release the energy a solid soundboard can generate. The Artist Series is built to do exactly this.
This model is designed to get the best out if its components, and for them to work together to produce a tone and player experience, rarely found in affordable instruments.
The sound is warm, open and powerful, and both the treble and bass registers are clearly present and balanced in relation to each other. These guitars feel right and are exciting to play and responsive.
The solid 'A' grade Sitka spruce tops are hand-selected from quarter-sawn wood. This ensures consistent quality, and its no secret better guitars are made from better wood. These tops not only look great but they are stiff and strong and finely grained. This allows them to be cut just that tiny bit thinner, which lets them dance a little more and produce a lot more vibration, and ultimately a richer tone.
All of the components are made of natural materials such as mother of pearl and abalone inlays, real bone saddles and nuts and rosewood appointments.
SYS550 EQ and pickup
The SYS550 designed by B-BAND is a pro-level EQ and pickup that reproduces the sound of the guitar very closely with great clarity. B-BAND use a patented under saddle electret film pickup which eliminates synthetic or processed sounds often heard with piezo or other styles of pickup. The result is a very true, acoustic sound. SYS550 also has an accurate, backlit chromatic digital tuner.
Gig bag or case sold separately.

Comments about Alvarez Artist Series AG60CE Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I bought this guitar as a "Stupid Deal of the Hour."'first the good, it looks good, fretted rather easily, the pickup system sounds good. Better than a straight piezo pickup system. It has a 1/4" output and a LZ output, not seen on a lot of high end guitars. The guitar plays easy, however the neck seem wider than its 1 3/4" width. Build quality seems good but the sound,unamplified, doesn't ring out as well as it could. Amplified, the guitar has a nice rich full sound to it. One drawback is the pickup preamp is not very hot. One has to run the preamp wide open to get any volume.i plan on taking this guitar and my Fishman loudbox camping this year and planning to "Kun bi ya" the heck out of it around the campfire. Overall, it's a nice guitar. Mine was a restock, maybe a new guitar would perform better. I think Alverez might do well to rethink their specs on this line. Shave the neck to 1 11/16" width, use a hotter preamp system, work on getting a nice ring from the guitar unamplified and they would have a real winner. Not bad for a home player or a backup on a job. I did plug it into my fender DRRI and it sounded good. The pickup and preamp sound really good,however, you have to run wide open to get sound. It's not a bad guitar. In fact, it's a nice guitar for the price point.

Comments about Alvarez Artist Series AG60CE Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
Even though advertised as including gig bag, instrument arrived without gig bag.
Poor fit and finish on neck, back and sides of guitar. Advertised as "gloss finish," the customer service representative told me matter-of-factly that this guitar has a natural, matte finish. That would not bother me, except for the fact that the "matte" finish feels more like "unfinished"- it is very rough, with large bumps underneath that look like sawdust trapped in the finish. This is all over the sides, back, and the neck/fingerboard where the neck joins the body. These are not random rough patches; this seems almost like it was a feature.
There are tearouts in the wood where the side pieces are joined together. The neck joint has a gap between the heel and the body. The finish at the neck joint appears to be cracked underneath the surface.
I have another Alvarez Artist Series guitar (ABT60); the fit and finish on that instrument is perfect. I was trusting that another guitar of the same line would share that quality. Sadly, it does not.
The customer service rep seemed unperturbed by this information, and asked me "so, what do you want to do about it?"
Given the option of returning the guitar at my own expense, I was informed that if I wanted a refund, that would be honored, minus their original shipping cost. That would mean I would be out too much money. I could also exchange it for another product of similar price, or apply the credit towards a more expensive.
For what a return would cost me, I may just keep it and try selling it locally on CL. I will not be buying any more instruments over the internet, it's too easy to get burned like this.

Comments about Alvarez Artist Series AG60CE Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
Inexpensive, nice action, easy to play, OK to good sound, nice looking. Not an expensive sound, but for the money GREAT! I am a sound-man/roadie, not a guitar player. I have been playing off and on for 30 plus years, but am still not any good. I wish I had had the internet when I was 18. I have played expensive and junk guitars being around real musicians so long. I think this guitar plays well and sounds good. Once again, if you are starting out and have limited funds buy this, if you can afford an expensive martin or expensive taylor (I am partial to the taylor feel) then do that by all means. I would recommend this to a friend because all my friends are poor like me. If you are rich and looking for a friend that loves to lug expensive equipment for you let me know.

It is a good gig guitar for anyone wanting a good sound and and easy playing. I got it on sale and for the price it is great. It works well as a gig guitar for anyone not wanting to take an expensive guitar out where it could get damaged or stolen.

Comments about Alvarez Artist Series AG60CE Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
Awesome guitar right out of the box. I have been playing guitar for 20 years plus, electric guitars only. Used to gig back in the day. Never purchased an an acoustic guitar before, so I thought I would go with a USA made handcrafted guitar that I could plug in to my Marshall amp and run some effects with it to see what happens. This guitar sounds great acoustically and also sounds cool plugged in. You can make several tonal adjustments on the guitar itself with the EQ and dual pickup system, not to mention running your favorite effects. Can't go wrong with this model. If you are like me, not wanting to spend thousands on an acoustic guitar, but wants to own a solid, good brand at an affordable price, give it a go. ROCK ON!!

Comments about Alvarez Artist Series AG60CE Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I ordered on Thursday night, recieved Tuesday with the free shipping. Thanks! I have a 1979 model upper end Alverez with factory pick up at the base of the neck and fairly rare. I have loved this gutiar but finally wanted an acoustic that sounds like an acoustic in stead of an electric when plugged in. Only complaint out of box, the stock string noise when moving fingers up and down the board. I replaced with medium light Elixer exp coated, and became impressed. I wanted a wider neck as this for finger picking. Unplugged, I cant ask for more. Plugged in, it sounds good, after I fiddled with the two pickup balancing and equalizer. Nice touch on the tuner cuting out the amp when tuning! When strumming or chording and playing with pick, all sounds balanced. When classical finger picking the lighter strings are a bit overwhelmed by the heaveier strings, but can be compensated by changing the two pickup balance. I am not familiar the regular cord plug, and the microphone plug right next to it. Does this plug in to a p.a. system? Does it use phantom 48 volt power or standard? There is no book that came with the electronics and I havent found it yet on the web site.. My friends are impressed, giving new gutiar fever to one. This alverze is an improvement in some ways over the first Alverez in tone quality, electronics and beauty. The 79 had a quicker thinner faster neck rivaling any qutiar I have ever played and I have played and owned quite a few.. But then, this one sounds and plays finger style like I want, and sounds acoustic.
Comments about Alvarez Artist Series AG60CE Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I usually don't write reviews for products, but considering how little reviews there are for this guitar I figured to give it a go. Been playing guitar for just shy of 10 years, haven't really been an acoustic player but to my ears this guitar is well rounded. its got a good mid range punch, but it is very balanced. it does seem a little harsh in tone when compared to my buddys Yamaha dreadnaught's warm tone, it may be just because the strings haven't been broken in or the guitar itself hasn't been broken in. though they are completely different guitars. it did need a little truss rod set up out of the box to reduce some string rattle but after that its playing like a champ.
the fretboard could be a little bit smoother but for the price of this guitar I cannot complain. the wide neck makes fretting chords and fingerpicking a breeze.
overall this is a great guitar with great value.

Came set up geat right out of the box, plays well sounds great..real value.
Thinking about purchasing a second one with rosewood back and sides.
Fits like a glove very comfortable to hold sitting or standing. Been playing over 30 years love this guitar.
I owned a Washburn and currently have a Fender Sonoran But this Alvarez has it beat. Comfort, sound and playability.
My fingers won't be aching by second set anymore.

Fresh rebuild - impossible to start suzuki ts125
I just finished rebuilding a '71 suzuki TS125. Bore size was increased to 57.5mm and a wiseco piston installed. A stock suzuki head gasket "G" was used as well. Compression test shows around 110psi. I'm assuming thats good.
So when I tried to start it I could sometimes get the bike to turn over briefly but only with full throttle. It would die almost immediately. I could kick it all day long and not make any progress; it would start then die. I checked timing and it seems fine. I get spark. I must also mention that I dont have the airbox etc so I'm running a pod filter. I have cleaned the carb several times and feel pretty solid that it's clean. I tried a variety of pilot jet sizes from 25 (stock) to 32.5 and no difference. The plug seemed to be getting gas. But again, unless full throttle was applied there was no way it would ever start.
So is it a carb problem?
Does my stock cylinder head need to be reprofiled from 56mm to 57.5mm to match the cylinder?
Will the gasket I'm trying to use work or should it be enlarged?
Though it shows 110psi I am able to easily turn it over by hand via the flywheel. Is that ok?
I'm at a loss of how to address this problem.
Thanks for any help!
Thanks Dave,
It has a new petcock. The carb bowl is full of gas. I have also checked the float height several times and its in spec.
Try putting on the stock filter, or limit airflow to the carburettor and try again.
I assume you checked for false air, and that your carburettor setup is standard.
same old same old
Your crankcase seal on the left is leaking.
Check to make sure nothing restricting in the exhaust......mouse nest or somthing. Make certain its brand new fresh gas. Todays fuels can go bad very quickly.
Thanks everyone -
I did the compression test last night and it read 110psi. I left it like that and this morning it reads about 105psi. So I think compression is good. I'm still concerned that I can turn it over by hand by rotating the flywheel. Should my comp reading be higher?
Is it possible to get the ignition timing off 180 degrees?
I'd put a little fuel right down the plug hole and see if it flashes and yes 110 sounds low to me.
Compression sounds fine for not being run to seat the rings yet.
Once your ready to try again spritz a little premix direct into the carb and get a helper to do a good 2nd gear push start as fast as you can down a long stretch.
I doubt this is possible, but are both the piston and the carb slide in facing the right direction ? I think the piston would have caught the ring ends in a port possibly, and the only way the carb slide could be backwards is if it had pin grooves on both sides.
Again I gotta stress, you need to be absolutely certain your exhaust isnt plugged, even partially, have seen this same symptom dozens of times on sleds, only to find a mouse nest deep inside the pipe, out of sight.
update - uh oh
I removed the cylinder and found significant wear! This was freshly bored! The wear is only on the intake and exhaust port sides of the cylinder. The piston shows very very faint marks on the skirts. This leads me to think the rings are what are wearing on the cylinder walls. I checked the ring end gap and the seem in spec. It makes me wonder if the cylinder isnt really round. I cant tell with my digital caliper. The wear is only after a handful of starts (it doesnt idle) and the one time I did actually have it idling (with very minimal throttle). I cant feel the scratches with my fingernail so theyre not deep. Thoughts?
Valve clearances set ok mate?
If it was rebored were the port edges chamfered . ?

Looking for fun...
I'm an easy going person that enjoys going out with friends and being spontanous. I'm looking for someone to have fun with. I love to travel, whether it's a weekend in Vegas or off to the slopes for some skiing. I really enjoy the outdoors. On weekends you can usually find me out on the golf course . I've got a great job at a national company. We work very hard and can put in some long hours. However, its very rewarding and I wouldn't change a thing. . A glass of wine in front of the T.V. catching up the news is a way I relax and unwind. I also like to workout, hitting the gyms most mornings at 5:30. I love morings and really find it the best part of the day. I also love to laugh and am looking for someone who is warm, sexy and honorable.

A good pizza or steak, a great bottle of wine or going out to dinner.
I really enjoy going out with friends. I work hard all week and like to stay very active on weekends. I love to play golf, so that plays a big part in my free time. Going to great restrauants, or just hanging out at home with a good movie all work.
I'm an avid reader of current events...newspapers, magazines, sometimes start about a great novel....but rarely find the time to finish.

Cal Grant Will Not Be Cut
Governor Jerry Brown signed a $115.4 billion budget for 2015-16 which fully funds the Cal Grant for the private nonprofit sector. This avoids a potential 11.3 percent cut as proposed in January. The state legislature postponed the 11.3 percent cut for the next two years allowing the maximum award for Cal Grant A to remain at $9,044 and for Cal Grant B at $1,656 for new students.

Coday, Dennis J., National Catholic Reporter
PAKKRED, THAILAND -- Indonesian social workers and human rights activists claim to have evidence of an organized campaign of assaults, gang rapes and killings of mostly ethnic Chinese women and girls during three days of rioting in Jakarta in May.
According to a Jesuit priest involved with gathering testimony, the systematic and violent intimidation continues against the Chinese community and individuals investigating the violence.
On May. 21, President Suharto, the country's dictatorial leader for 32 years, already under pressure because of an economic crisis he could not control, resigned, but not before riots, looting and unprecedented student protests had shaken Indonesian society to its foundations.
From May 14 through May 16, official reports say, 1,200 people were killed (hundreds burned to death trapped in buildings), 40 shopping malls and other buildings were razed and 1,200 vehicles were destroyed.
In addition, local groups have confirmed reports that during those three days as many as 200 women and girls -- most ethnic Chinese -- were raped by gangs of men. At least 20 of these were murdered or died of wounds suffered during the assaults. Reports are being compiled and released by the Volunteer Team for Humanity, an umbrella group for nongovernmental organizations, student activists, academics and professionals.
"I am afraid the European countries and the [United States] will see this as an ethnic conflict or socioeconomic. It is not," said Jesuit Fr. Sandyawan Sumadri of the Volunteer Team.
Ariel Heryanto, a political anthropologist and writer with the Jakarta-based journal, Jurnal Perempuan, called the mid-May violence in Jakarta and several other cities "racialized state terrorism rather than racially motivated mass riots."
"As elsewhere, racism in Indonesia flares up in household conversations, jokes, gossip and private quarrels. Such pervasive sentiment partly explains the ease with which terrorism evolved last May," Heryanto said. "However, [racism] did not cause the mass burning, raping and looting."
"We have less than unequivocal evidence to indicate who exactly must bear the greatest responsibility for the violence," Heryanto said, but nongovernmental organizations' investigations and witnesses' testimony implicate state-sponsored terrorism -- in the guise of racism -- as responsible for the violence. Heryanto said that most media accounts -- especially foreign media -- portrayed the May violence as ethnic and/or economic conflicts. Such portrayals, he said, are "unwittingly helping the state terrorism by protecting the perpetrators."
Sandyawan explained that the May violence "is how the elite politicians and the powers want to [maintain] theft position." He said they used the chaos to advance their own schemes.
The Volunteer Team found in reports of the violence from far-flung districts of Jakarta suspiciously similar details and patterns that indicate the violence was well-planned and systematically executed by well-organized groups.
Witnesses said trucks or buses would bring men into the area. The men, said the witnesses, were unfamiliar to the area and "well-built" or "fit" and with "crew cuts" or "military-style haircuts." Many witnesses said the men were dressed in college or high school uniforms but were obviously too old or too big to be students.
Eight to 16 men would disembark from trucks or buses and ask people in the streets where the Chinese lived. They would then encourage bystanders to break into and loot homes and businesses owned by ethnic Chinese. These were the men who usually torched buildings, the witnesses said. These men also formed the gangs that raped the women.
The violence against women and girls is especially gruesome. Testimony from victims and witnesses makes clear that the violence was meant to be seen, which, according to Heryanto, is a characteristic of state terrorism. …

- Instead of using the traditional "push" approach to emailing, where we copy anyone who might have an interest, we should approach email from a different standpoint. The "pull" approach encourages employees to seek out the information they need, much like the strategy to cut down on unnecessary meetings. Send an email internally or copy a colleague only when it's necessary, and store the rest of the information in an easily accessible location.
- Emails between teammates and clients and all relevant attachments should be stored in a centralized location to make it easy for employees to pull the information they need, just like the shared client file of old, but updated for the digital age (and breaking out of the silo of the personal inbox). Of course, the approach only works internally, and employees should still send emails to one another if they contain urgent information. • When it is necessary to send an email both internally and externally, learn to cut down on the length and get to the main point of your message immediately. If there is an urgent question, don't write several sentences or paragraphs beforehand. Ask the question right away.
- Subject lines are also important. Make sure they capture the attention of the recipient and accurately explain what the following message will contain. If you're a professional service business that gets paid for your expertise and the time you spend helping clients, you can treat email as a revenue source. By complementing your inbox with smart software, you can start automatically filling your timesheet based on the interactions you've actually had via email, which will recover some of those lost hours each day.

The Whole Truth – Being Wrong
If you read last week's post, you know that I am loving ABC's new show, The Whole Truth!
What Are Your Kids Going To Be For Halloween
Before I get going on this post, I had to comment on yesterdays. Kelly's comment reminded me of the most important thing regarding Jordan's game. It's not how he played, the most important thing was that after how he was treated, after saying he was never going to play again, he went out there and he did it. He didn't let the other kid stop him from doing something he loved.

BMW F650gs stock rear protection - mounting problem
I have a big dilemma, regarding my BMW F650GS (2011, ABS with stock alarm). I bought it as a second hand bike, with rear plastic protection changed (see picture 01 and 02).
I have also the original rear protection + number plate carrier (see pictures 03 - the plastic protection, 04 protection and number plate carrier, 005 both protection and carrier assembled).
The problem is that I tried to mount the originals, but I cannot mount the plastic rear protection because of alarm box (see the pictures 06).
It looks like the service, took out the rear protection, changed the number plate carrier and mounted the alarm. Now if I want to make the changes back, I have to take out the alarm box or to find another kind of rear plastic protection that will fit. On the other hand, maybe I do not know how to mount the original real protection.
How looks rear plastic protection on your bikes? Like mine or not? Do you have stock alarm? How it is mounted?
Please help!
In the pictures 07, you can see the stock alarm.

We finally break out of the fog / cloud and head on down the mountain...
Since we are cool and a bit damp, and tired, we take a leisurely pace down the backside...
After a break for gas station food, we head on down Scenic 7 back towards Hot Springs.
DQ and I had never checked out the Nimrod Dam, so we decided to take a Dam Detour for a Dam Break.
DQ goes on into the park while I wait for Nimrod, I mean Babs to arrive to make the turn. And here he comes. Surely he will see me stopped at a turn off and stop...
And maybe not...
Guess I've ridden cross country with DQ enough that we think alike and have our travel patterns and signals down... Maybe I should teach them to Babs...
So I turn into the park to catch up to DQ and Babs heads on down the highway. Meanwhile, I go check out the Dam Park and the scenic Dam views..
With all the rain we had in the last 24 hours, I guess they opened the dam valves up...
After the Dam Detour, we head back south on the road to catch up to Babs and soon pass him headed back north apparently looking for us. So when we get down near Hot Springs Village we pull over to let him catch up.
Back together and moving on
SO we head back through the Gorge

Celebrated author and TV chef Sara Moulton is the food editor at "Good Morning America."
You've written to her with questions about what you'd like to learn in the kitchen, and she has responded.
Sara Moulton Answers Your Questions
Amanda Bennethum: Hi Sara, I have a question regarding cake frosting. I was wondering when a frosting recipe calls for milk, can the frosting stay out at room temperature or should it be refrigerated? When I use my frosting recipe that includes milk in the ingredients I always refrigerate my cake. I was wondering if my cake can stay out at room temperature for any length of time with the milk in the frosting. I am twenty five years old and enjoy baking; however, I do not want to make anyone sick. Thank you so much for your help, Amanda Bennethum.
Sara's Answer:
I reached out to my trusted source, the King Arthur Flour hotline and Jonathan got back to me with this answer (I asked about butter creams too):
"I conferred with another baker and we would really only keep a frosting that contained milk out of the refrigerator for maybe an hour or two at a time as there is still a chance for spoilage. However, an Italian or Swiss butter cream can hold for a longer period of time out of the refrigerator, up to 4 hours. There are some bakers that will keep butter cream out for a longer period of time, but butter can go rancid even in such a high sugar environment, so this practice is a bit controversial.
I tend to keep my cakes refrigerated until 1-2 hours before it will be served. At this point I take it out and allow the butter cream to soften at room temperature; works like a charm."
Marie Murphy: I need a new way to cook chicken breasts. This week we had oven fried chicken, chicken and dumplings. I am at a loss. Please help.
Sara's Answer:
Here are three different chicken treatments, one with chicken breast, one with chicken thighs and one with chicken breasts with the skin on. There is more versatility if you don't just stick to boneless skinless chicken breasts. I am sure you could adapt the second two to work with chicken breasts, just reduce the cooking time.

And OP
I looked for images of the 977 revision, but only found 2 seater convertables,
So judging the Coupe versions I will stand by what I said, as the low roof would make sitting in the back very cramped indeed, not to mention the front seats for anyone over 6 foot would have to be set so far back, that they'd be almost touching the bench of the back seats.

If you need to give friends a ride... you will get either SUV or trucks... (or a car with height room.)
Sport cars are for 1 or two people but you can put your things in either backseat or trunk.. that's it..
tall people will hurt their neck if they tilt the neck in backseat too long. Unless he/she can lay down on sideways.

OK so you can fit as many 6" (inch) people in the back seat of a 911 as you want.
However... The only purpose or reason for back seats in sports cars is for INSURANCE purposes. Sure you can fit some little people there, but the real reason is the Insurance companies rates these cars as 4 Seaters rather that 2 Seaters.. Hence.. Cheaper insurance. I could be wrong.. It has happened before.. i think..

Newborn Freedom
Hi all,
I knew about this contest quite late, but I don't want to miss any chance. So, I burn my midnight oil few days. Finally, it is completed and still catch up the time.
This story is about a fashion dummy. Its dressing and pose is totally controlled by others. One night, Freedom born inside it. So she ran away from the current position, threw away the clothing, escape, and enjoy the freedom~
Please kindly advise if there any comments. Thanks!
