A few years back, OutKast's Big Boi invited Phantogram to contribute to three tracks on his 2012 album, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors (including the especially great "Lines," which also features A$AP Rocky), and their creative relationship eventually led to the full-blown collaborative project Big Grams. They recently released their 7-song self-titled EP, which was produced almost entirely by Phantogram except "Put It On Her" by 9th Wonder and "Drum Machine" by Skrillex, and Big Boi's pals Run the Jewels show up on "Born to Shine." You can check out the video for "Fell in the Sun" and a Spoitfy stream of the whole EP below.
Big Grams have announced some festival appearances for 2016, including Hangout, but before that they'll play a club show at NYC's Irving Plaza on December 21. Tickets for the NYC show go on sale Friday (11/20) at 10 AM with Live Nation/Music Geeks presales starting Thursday (11/19) at 10 AM.
All dates are listed below...

Q-Tip leads Times Sq. Ferguson decision protests; Killer Mike gives impassioned speech ++ other musicians' reactions
Q-Tip leading protests in Times Square last night (photo via @alphajada)
Last night it was announced that the grand jury decided not to indict Ferguson, MO police Officer Darren Wilson in the August shooting and death of 18-year-old Michael Brown. Protests sprung up all over the country. In NYC, Q-Tip lead protests in Times Square chanting "Whose streets? Our Streets!" and "Don't shoot! Hands Up!" Instagram videos of him in Times Square can be watched below.
Meanwhile, much much closer to the center of the story, Run the Jewels were performing in St. Louis, Missouri. Killer Mike, who sang about the police "terrorizing whoever, but mostly black boys" in his hyper-political song "Reagan," gave a moving, tearful speech during their set. "I knew it was coming...I knew it wasn't going to be good, but you motherfuckers got me today. You kicked me on my ass today, because I have a 20-year-old son, I have a 12-year-old son and I'm so afraid for them." You can watch it below.
Macklemore also took part in a protest in Ferguson, which Seattle King5 News has a clip of here.
Lots of other musicians expressed their feelings on social media. "I'm heartbroken over the news of no indictment in Ferguson. Let's all pray for peace," Pharrell Williams tweeted. Talib Kweli tweeted, "I feel really bad for the family of Mike Brown. To my brothers & sisters in Ferguson my heart is with you & I will join you soon."

LOL" and "I might have to kill one of these crackers in their sleep !!" but then "Lol, I'm joking." She also got more serious and said things like, "But something seriously has to be done about this shit. I don't want to hear about another unarmed black kid being shot by the damn cops. It's so discouraging, just as a young black person, to know that people like me can be murdered and have there be no real justice." Read many more of her tweets here.
Not every musician was against the ruling. Gun expert Ted Nugent tweeted, "DarrenWilson did good MichaelBrown did bad justice is served."

Yesterday, Pitchfork posted their top 200 tracks of the decade so far, and today they've listed the top 100 albums to have come out between 2010-2014. There's some surprises on there. For example, I didn't expect to see Bon Iver's self-titled, their #1 album of 2011 and with a score of 9.5, rank as low as #27 on this list. I was also surprised to see Chief Keef make it but not, say, Shabazz Palaces or Schoolboy Q. And there's a few other glaring omissions: nothing by The National? Grizzly Bear? One thing that will surprise no one though, is their #1 pick.
You can check out the full list below...

After a high-energy day on the main stage at Coachella that also included performances from Ellie Goulding, Chromeo and Girl Talk, Andre 3000 and Big Boi emerged from the center of a hollow cube that remained propped up onstage throughout their set. The duo fulfilled every promise of an Outkast reunion in the set's first third, starting with "B.O.B." and jumping from "Gasoline Dreams" to "ATLiens" to a run of "Aquemini" songs, including "Skew It On The Bar-B," "Rosa Parks" and the title track. With material that strong, details like the stage show, live band and the duo's vocal delivery could be waved off as fairly inconsequential. But those aspects were on-point too, with the giant cube flashing some neat graphics when it wasn't transparent, the brass section adding pop to "Spottieottiedopaliscious" and Andrew and Big palling around like old times (or that's how it seemed, at least). With Three-Stacks wearing overalls and a hoodie and Big Boi rocking a massive gold chain, Outkast came out looking fresh and sounding reinvigorated, as they proceeded to check off some of their classic songs. - [The Hollywood Reporter]Hip hop duo Outkast played their first show in years last night (4/11) as headliners of the first day of Coachella 2014 (Weekend 1). Opening with "B.O.B." André 3000 and Big Boi gave the crowd hits and deep cuts, and each had a solo set. Big Boi brought out Janelle Monae during his to do "Tightrope." When they both returned for the closing Outkast set, they brought out Atlanta rapper Future for three songs.
The night finished with "Ms Jackson," "So Fresh So Clean," "I Like the Way You Move" and "Hey Ya!" A planned collaboration with Killer Mike was aborted as the 1 AM curfew hit. They'll do it again -- and maybe fit everything in before curfew -- this Friday (4/18) for Coachella's second weekend. You can watch Outkast's whole Coachella performance, and check out the setlist, below.
Coachella day 2 (with headliners Muse) is underway as we speak and you can watch online via their YouTube channel. More Outkast Coachella pics, their performance video and setlist below...

As promised, the official Game of Thrones hip-hop mixtape, Catch the Throne, was released this morning. Featuring such rappers as Big Boi, Bodega Bamz, Common, and Wale, the tracks were made from samples from the insanely popular HBO fantasy series. You can stream it below.

official 'Game of Thrones' mixtape features Big Boi, Common, Wale, Bodega Bamz & more; new season starts in April
by Bill Pearis
HBO's fantasy megahit Game of Thrones will return for Season 4 on Sunday, April 6 and hype is ramping up...and expanding into new areas. On Friday (3/7) they're releasing an ice-and-fire-themed mixtape titled Catch the Throne, featuring Big Boi, Common, Wale, Bodega Bamz, and more. The mixtape features beats made out of music from the show, plus dialogue samples. Says Common in a promo video, "Game of Thrones centers around battles for power, and rap is definitely a battle for power." You can get a preview of the mixtape via that promo video below.
While the nature of the series doesn't allow for as much modern pop to be used in it as, say, True Detective, Game of Thrones does still work it in where applicable. Songs exist within the world of George RR Martin's novels that the show is based on, and The National and The Hold Steady have recorded versions of Westeros' two biggest hits, "The Rains of Castamere" and "The Bear and the Maiden Fair," respectively. And there have been cameos: Will Champion of Coldplay was in the "Red Wedding" band, and Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody was in S3 as well. Sigur Ros' Jónsi, Georg Hólm, and Orri Páll Dýrason will all cameo in S4.
Meanwhile, the new trailer for Season 4 (which is based on the second half of Martin's action-packed A Storm of Swords) uses The Everlove's cover of Siouxsie & the Banshees' "Cities and Dust" and you can watch that below as well...

Andre 3000 and Big Boi's basically unknown hip hop duo Outkast are already announced for this year's Coachella and Governors Ball festivals, and they've now announced that they'll be performing at over 40 festivals this year. Exact festivals are still TBA, but any guesses on where they might play?

UPDATE: They're playing Firefly, Hangout Fest, CounterPoint, Big Guava, Sasquatch, OVO Fest, Forecastle, Osheaga, Lollapalooza, the Denver stop of Mad Decent Block Party, and ACL.
Via Outkast's announcement:
"It's truly an honor to celebrate 20 years and still be free to do music the way we choose," said Big Boi. "Don't just think outside the box, know that there is no box. I'm looking forward to rocking the stage with my Bro Ski and to all the fans - stank you smelly much, this is for y'all!"Watch an Outkast video below...
"And imagine, all we wanted to do was rap! I am thankful to have been a part of a group that allowed me to explore anything that came to mind and have fun doing it. Returning to the stage together is the most exciting way for us to thank everyone for their 20 years of supporting Outkast," said André 3000.

Their #1 pick is certainly one of those undeniable songs, whether or not you're a fan of the artist who made it. What do you think of their list? Did your favorite song make it? Any glaring omissions?

Killer Mike at Webster Hall in August (more by Amanda Hatfield)
As discussed, Big Boi had to cancel his tour with Killer Mike, but since rescheduled it and is set to return to NYC on October 1 at Brooklyn Bowl. At the time, Killer Mike wasn't scheduled for that show, and he's since been in NYC when he and El-P (as Run the Jewels) played Webster Hall and Fool's Gold Day Off, but since we last spoke Killer Mike has officially been added to the Brooklyn Bowl show, along with Nyzzy Nyce. Tickets for that show are still available.
Big Boi recently made a video for his song "Thom Pettie" with Little Dragon (also touring) and Killer Mike. Check it out, along with the updated list of tour dates, below...

Big Boi in Austin in 2012 (more by Tim Griffin)
As mentioned, Big Boi had to cancel a number of tour dates, including last Thursday's (6/20) Prospect Park show, due to a knee injury. He's since recovered and announced a leg of rescheduled dates that he'll play this September/October. Rather than the big free outdoor show that Big Boi would have played last week, his rescheduled date happens on October 1 at Brooklyn Bowl, the same venue he played in April. No word on yet on ticket information for that show, but you can check Brooklyn Bowl's site for updates.
Thursday's Prospect Park show did go on as planned with long-running West Coast duo Blackalicious taking Big Boi's spot, and support coming from Phony PPL and D-Nice. If you missed them last week, Blackalicious play the Best Buy Theatre on Saturday (6/29) opening for The Cat Empire. Tickets are still available.

As mentioned, Big Boi was on a tour with Killer Mike this year which already hit NYC and was going to bring Big Boi back for a free Prospect Park show (without Killer Mike) in June. But unfortunately, that Prospect Park show and the rest of the Killer Mike tour have been cancelled due to Big Boi's knee injury which will take 6 weeks to heal. Killer Mike tweeted that the shows will be moved to September. Big Boi also instagrammed the above picture with the hashtag #backoutcheain6weeks. Updated Big Boi dates are listed below.
Meanwhile, as mentioned, Killer Mike and El-P have a free album on the way under the name Run the Jewels, and that project will also be going on a tour which hits NYC on August 14 at Webster Hall. Support at that show comes from Despot and Kool A.D.. Tickets for it are still available.
This unfortunate news about Big Boi comes just after learning his OutKast partner Andre 3000's mother passed away this week.

El-P in Austin in 2012 (more by Tim Griffin)
As mentioned, Killer Mike and El-P, who previously teamed up with El-P produced Killer Mike's 2012 album R.A.P. Music and when Mike rapped a verse on El-P's Cancer for Cure, are teaming up again this year under the name Run the Jewels. The duo will release a "free album and limited edition items" this June via Fool's Gold. The first song from the album, "Get It," should appeal to anyone who liked "Butane (Champions Anthem)" or "Tougher Colder Killer", and the way they're quickly trading verses here sounds like they're having even more fun than before. You can download that one above or stream it below.
Killer Mike is currently on tour with Big Boi (and he just brought out El-P at their Brooklyn Bowl show), but when that tour ends, Run the Jewels will go on their own tour. Support on that tour comes from El-P and Killer Mike's past tourmate Despot and ex-Das Racist member Kool AD. It culminates in NYC with a show on August 14 at Webster Hall.

Big Boi at Brooklyn Bowl - 4/24/13 (via @therealbigboi)
"That's what we call the appetizer portion of the set. We just gettin' started," said Big Boi at Brooklyn Bowl last night (4/24) after playing huge OutKast hits like "Rosa Parks," "ATLiens," his own big one, "Shutterbug," and a ton of others. It's the kind of material a different artist might have saved for the encore, but Big Boi doesn't waste any time getting the party started. He kept the whole show on that level for the entirety of the (approximately) hour and a half set, and with 20 years of quality material, Big Boi can do that kind of thing. The place was totally packed with people cheering, singing, and dancing all night. And the crowd's spirits were as high as everyone's on stage, Big Boi's excellent live band included. They played a ton of other OutKast favorites throughout the set too, including "Bombs Over Bagdad," "Ms. Jackson," "So Fresh So Clean," standouts from his 2010 solo LP ("General Patton, "Fo Yo Sorrows"), standouts from his 2012 LP ("Apple of My Eye," "Lines"), and of course, the sort-of solo cut, "The Way You Move."
Big Boi brought out tourmate/frequent collaborator/fellow Dungeon Family member Killer Mike a few times during the set, including during the song that put Killer Mike in the public consciousness, "The Whole World." (A video of that one is below.) He didn't, however, come out during "In The A," which the two rappers just released a remix of as part of their tour mixtape, which features every track where both Big Boi and Killer Mike appear (download above, stream below). On that mixtape, Killer Mike says he and Big Boi have an album in the works.
Killer Mike's opening set was short but all-killer, kicking off with "Big Beast," the riotous opening track off last year's R.A.P. Music. It quickly got the crowd going... but not enough for Killer Mike's standards, because it wasn't until he encouraged everyone to move in and go wild that the place really set off. And whipping out his Bone Crusher/T.I. collab, "Never Scared," didn't hurt either. Mike's set included other highlights from R.A.P. Music too, like the highly political "Reagan," which he performs a cappella. And though he usually prefaces it with a speech about the government, his mic got cut off right when he started (conspiracy theories abound!). He also brought out El-P, who produced all of R.A.P. Music, to rap his verse on "Butane (Champions Anthem)." Killer Mike and El-P are currently working on a new collaborative project called Run the Jewels (Big Boi's reportedly involved too). You can stream a snippet of a new song from that below.

Following his gig over the weekend at The Studio @ Webster Hall, Big Boi played his second NYC show in less than a week at SOB's Monday night (12/10), or third if you count an appearance on Jimmy Fallon. The Hot 97 show was an invite/contest-only Hot 97 affair in celebration of his Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors LP which hit store shelves today. He was joined Phantogram for "Objectum Sexuality," and "CPU," and then A$AP Rocky came out as well for his verse on "Lines."

Ideal Compost Co. provides compost and related products to home gardeners, organic farmers, landscapers and greenhouse operators in New Hampshire and surrounding states.
To make our compost, we start out with piles and piles of horse litter, cow and chicken manure, spoiled grain, grass, hay, straw, silage and leaves. Our job as composters is to provide optimal conditions for the micro-organisms which break down the blend of materials. The little critters need food, air, and moisture. Their food is in the original materials. When we turn the piles we provide air. Irrigation provides moisture when rain is sparse. We monitor progress with thermometers and moisture meters. After months and months of the slow burning of decay, each compost batch is tested for maturity. When ready, the compost is screened, blended into a range of products, and stacked up, ready for you.
Here at Ideal Compost Co., we continue to be inspired by ecological farming, a.k.a. biological farming, the next step beyond organics. Much of eco-farming is based on research done in the 1920's and 1930's, before industrial agriculture took hold with its chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. Eco-farming stresses the health of the soil, and the connection between soil health, crop health and human health.
This year for the first time we added natural minerals, extra microorganisms and enzymes to our compost. Animal manure-based composts like our's are naturally high in phosphorous and potassium and lower than optimal in calcium and trace minerals, all of which are crucial for plants to thrive. In our finished compost, microorganisms have broken down the added minerals, making them directly available to your plants.
We continue to make small adjustments to our basic compost recipe, adding ground rock minerals, supplemental microorganisms and specialized enzymes. Animal manure-based composts like our's are high in phosphorous and potassium, but low in calcium and some trace minerals. Calcitic lime is an example of what we amend our basic manures with. The process of composting breaks down the added minerals, making them directly available to your plants, helping them to thrive.
Healthy soils lead to healthy crops, and healthy crops feed healthy people!
Happy growing in 2015!

The aim of this chapter was to focus on the tremendous cultural and social achievements of the neo-classical concept of Bildung, which must be appreciated as a major element in the development of modern German culture. It is a concept which even influenced the distinctive ethos of German science and engineering, to be discussed in Chapter 2. At the same time, it failed to maintain its emancipatory momentum in the wake of reactionary and nationalist developments during the second part of the nineteenth century. Three aspects in particular were to become significant, thereby contributing to a peculiarly German form of political culture:
(a) The preponderance of private at the expense of public virtues. 42 The individualistic, often quasi-religious basis of the 'German' concept of education tended to play down the social aspects: the individual's responsibility towards society, the need to defend the political principles derived from the Enlightenment and an emphasis on playing a public role in the service of the community rather than of the state, in the pursuit of fairness and social justice rather than truth and beauty. As a result, the education system, as it developed, was unable to produce genuine socialization, allowed for little social transparency and neglected the establishment of democratic structures.
(b) The dominance of the arts and philosophy at the expense of natural and moral sciences. In particular, the importance placed on the classics and their implicit social exclusivity and the close links between education and culture led to the establishment of a mandarin class of civil servant, who quite simply failed to understand the new forces at work at the dawn of a modern industrial age. The interdependence between education and work was overlooked, along with the establishment of vocational and professional studies.
(c) The overemphasis on Bildung at the expense of Erziehung. This favoured an education policy which paid insufficient heed to the patriotic concept of education, advocated by Fichte and his liberal-nationalist circle. In particular it failed to support Volksbildung as the comprehensive and public education of the whole nation, confining it instead to 'elementary' education, to a purely functional vocationalism, producing loyal and obedient subjects, but not citizens.

HELP! Diet, Supplements and Exercise not working.
Green Gables replied to ruby14's topic in Diet & holistic healthAre you sure that it's acne? Rosacea bumps can look a lot like acne but is caused by weak blood vessels. Unlike common acne, which results from clogged pores, rosacea is caused by weak blood vessels just below the surface of the skin. When these blood vessels leak, the skin turns red. Larger leaks cause small, pimple-like red spots to break out on the face, and scar tissue can cause lumps and bumps to form under the skin. I have had both types of bumps most of my life. Even dermatologists have a hard time telling the difference between them without opening up the bumps with a scalpel. The acne is relatively easy to get rid of. The rosacea bumps (which often resemble deeper pimples or cysts) will stay until you strengthen the blood vessels.
Trying spironolactone for hormonal acne/clogged pores
Green Gables replied to MH14's topic in Hormonal acneRetinoids never worked for me. They increase the rate of cellular turnover in the deeper layers of the skin, but since I get debris clogs in the deeper layers (cysts), well, retinoids are a recipe for disaster. Peels literally peel away from the top and don't add to the mess. I currently take 25,000 to 50,000 IU of Vitamin A. It seems to help lessen my oily areas (nose and chin).
Trying spironolactone for hormonal acne/clogged pores
Green Gables replied to MH14's topic in Hormonal acneSpiro was wonderful for my active acne but it obviously can't force clogs out of your pores or even prevent blackheads. For existing clogged pores I do some pretty aggressive at-home exfoliation and dissolving. Gentler methods have not helped. Daily, at night 1. A full 2 minute manual exfoliation with tree hut shea sugar scrub. 2. 2 minute oil cleansing with botanical beauty grapeseed oil (need that linoleic acid!). For me this means massaging in for 2 minutes, rinsing all the way off with hot water. 3. Spritz face with water, than moisturize with juice beauty stem cellular moisturizer (expensive, but with aggressive exfoliation you need this step) 3x a week only on areas with clogged pores 1. 30 minutes leave-on elemis pumpkin enzyme peel. 2. For as long as you can stand (you have to work up to max time), dr. song 50% lactic acid gel peel. 3. Cold water rinse, wait 5 minutes. 3. For as long as you can stand, planet eden 30% salicyic acid peel. 4. Cold water rinse, leave it for an hour, then moisturize with the juice beauty. Please note this is VERY aggressive. Layering the peels helps clear the inter-pore debris I seem to accumulate, so the salicylic acid can actually get into the pore. I listen to my skin and back off if it starts drying out too much or getting too irritated. To prevent future clogged pores I find that high doses of Vitamin A and fish oil help a lot. This cod liver oil has both.

"These cards were perfect and matched the invitation I sent out for my son's baptism. I received them quickly and was able to get them out the day after the party!"
"I wasn't sure about this design, I am not a huge fan of everything being pink just because I have a baby girl, however I picked the option for my picture being black and white and it came out so adorable with the pink background. The quality of the paper is great! Very sturdy paper/stationary.I also chose to have our return address put on the envelope and it gave it and elegant look and saved me so much time. I should have ordered more, I only ordered 30 and now there are so many more people I'm thinking I could have sent this to that would've really liked a picture of our daughter rather than a plain thank you card. I wasn't expecting such great quality and such a good looking card so I didn't want to order too many. Now I know what to expect from this company and I will definitely be ordering again!"
"I love the elegant design with flowers that appear almost hand-painted in water colors on both sides and the texture of the paper is very nice. The teal color is my favorite and appropriate for either male or female receivers."
"I purchased these to go with the matching Baptism invite. The card quality is fantastic and I like that I could personalise the message inside."
"This card is so cute, I bought it to use as thank you cards for my baby. It's the perfect size to express gratitude, but not too big to where you would have to write a lot larger to fill up the card ;) I will definitely re-order these when I run out, they're perfect!"

Given the conventional association of trade and investment deregulation with exports of manufactured goods, one can assume that the regulatory regime shift that took place in Indonesia during the 1980s would have had a major impact on the country's manufacturing sector. This is documented and assessed in this chapter through a comparison of changes in key manufacturing sector characteristics over two periods: 1980-85, which captures the before-deregulation situation and 1986–91, which provides a sense of the after-deregulation situation. Structural details of the sector can be assessed through annual industrial survey data put out by the Biro Pusat Statistik (BPS). For our present purposes, the cleaned and revised series to 1991 is analyzed so as to get a sense of the initial impact of the deregulation on the manufacturing sector. 2 In particular, we look at growth in output, employment and exports as well as changes in the structure of the manufacturing sector in terms of firm size and concentration.Deregulation and Development in Indonesia
As already noted in earlier chapters, the second half of the 1980s in Indonesia was characterized by a series of deregulatory measures that provided incentives at the microeconomic level for enhanced export activity. This was supported by a macroeconomic stance that was also consistent with export orientation. The results of this newly coherent combination of microeconomic and macroeconomic policies were both striking and quick. Four features stand out over the period 1986–1991: The Impact of Deregulation on the Manufacturing Sector

"Just back from 5 nights, 4 days spring skiing in Park City. What a great place to stay for my annual sister ski trip with a 16 nephew and friend in tow!!!!! Not only did I love the artful comfortably chic decor, the super comfy beds and good linens, a kitchen with all the needs of cooking a great meal but the location is fabulous! We could easily drive in and out of the garage, take off our boots (not lug them up 3 flights as in other condos), and put them on the boot warmers provided. My sister and I could grab a glass of wine, take a hot tub and walk to dinner or listen to music in town late. The boys had independence to walk to town, get food and do their own thing when they wanted. No worrying about driving. They could ski Park City and get off at the town lift and walk home while my sister and I drove to Deer Valley just 5 minutes away. Whether its for girls trip, a family trip, a romantic getaway I would most definitely stay here again!!!. Artfully decorated and comfortable, great amenities, a close walk to town - it has all you need plus more! I would call it the perfect home away from home and move right in.

In 2006, the US spent 1.2 billion dollars fighting invasive species. That figure does not include the costs of the animals themselves, which cause property damage, crowd out and eat endangered animals, root up crops, attack people, and just generally make things difficult.
These species are diverse, from all different continents, but they have one thing in common: people put them here. Whether unintentionally on shipments from Asia or Africa, or former pets released into the wild, these animals (and one plant) have turned America into their predator-free playground.
We've gathered up only nine invasive species in this slideshow, but there are literally hundreds more pest, plant, and animal immigrants out there.
In 1957 a prominent scientist imported African Honey Bees to his lab to breed them with native honey bees. A few bees escaped the lab, forming swarms that spread across South America and up into the southern United States. Now the "killer bees" have been confirmed in Texas, Nevada, Arizona, California, and New Mexico. They are quick to defend themselves, and have been known to kill human and animals by inflicting 500 or more stings. They have also been known to chase someone for a quarter mile. If you encounter a swarm or disturb a nest the USDA advises you to RUN (their emphasis) and don't stop running until you reach shelter or you've outrun them completely. Don't jump in the water; they will wait for you to come up for air. Once you are in a safe place, pull out any stingers by scraping it out sideways with your nail or a credit card.
In 1966, a child smuggled three snails into the Miami area as pets. His grandmother later released them into the garden. Seven years later, their population had grown to 18,000. Florida successfully eradicated the snails to the tune of one million dollars over the next decade, but people still insist on keeping them as pets, even though it is illegal. Though fairly frightening, growing up to eight inches long, giant African snails won't bite, but they are carriers of parasites. This is a special concern if you are ingesting improperly cooked snail meat. Um, what? Why would you want to do that? Well, in one of the more bizarre news items of the year, a man was arrested in Florida for allegedly feeding illegally imported giant African snail to his religious followers. Besides the fact that they carry diseases, these mollusks will consume plaster, stucco, and crops, causing a lot of damage. In short, giant African snails shouldn't be here. So just don't buy them, ok?
The name says it all. According to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, the red imported fire ant stings about five million people a year, sending 25,000 of those people to the hospital. When you disturb their nest, a swarm will spill out, crawl up your legs and launch coordinated attacks, grabbing your skin in their mandibles. They leave behind painful, itchy pustules. Colonies of fire ants are aggressive, eliminating ground-nesting birds from their area and even attacking and killing newborn deer and cattle. Fire ants are native to South America, but were brought to the United States sometime in the 1930's. They spread via empty trucks and trailers, shipped nursery stock, or even by floating on floodwaters to new areas. Luckily for those of us up north, they are probably limited to warmer areas.
Yay for dumb pet breeders! It looks like thanks to them, Florida has a terrifying new menace: the ill-tempered, 20-foot-long rock python. Since 2002, six of these pythons have been found in a suburb outside of Miami, plus hatchlings. Babies are always a bad sign. The snake is a threat to small mammals, including pets and small children. It is more aggressive than the Burmese python (pictured), which currently numbers in the thousands in the welcoming everglades of Florida. In the National Geographic article breaking the news, Kenneth Krysko, senior herpetologist at the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville, said the arrival of the Burmese python "was the biggest, [most] devastating problem that Florida ever could have imagined." "Now we have a worse one." In January officials caught five more rock pythons, one 14 feet long, leading officials to worry that not only are the snakes breeding prolifically, but that they may mate with the Burmese python, and produce a more robust and aggressive offspring than either. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wants to ban the importation and interstate transport of nine types of constrictor snakes, including pythons and boas, though a final decision may take up to a year.
When the Asian tiger mosquito first showed up, the East Coast went into a state of panic. Breeding in tires, pots, and anywhere that can collect standing water, the distinctive mosquitoes spread quickly from Florida, where it was first identified in the US 1988. It's now found as far north as New York, and as far west as Texas. Because it can be a carrier of dengue fever and the deadly eastern equine encephalitis virus, many worried about these diseases spreading through the new pest. After some years, however, it became commonly accepted knowledge that the mosquito doesn't pose a significant public health threat. There has been one isolated incident in 1991 in Polk County, Florida, where the Asian tiger mosquito was implicated in the transmission of eastern equine encephalitis. Though incidences of the EEE virus have gone up this past summer in Florida, it's not necessarily due to the Asian tiger mosquito. It looks like for now, this mosquito is just annoying.
Poor Florida, they seem to get all the bad luck. Along with killer snakes, Florida now has the Tegu lizard from South America. Yes, it's carnivorous. Scientists have found the once-pets breeding near Tampa and Miami. Leave it alone if you see it in the wild, because it will bite to defend itself, though it certainly isn't deadly to humans like constrictors. In fact, Petco says that if you feel comfortable feeding "live food" to a four-foot long reptile, well, a Tegu might be just the pet for you! Please refrain from releasing it into the wild, however, if you change your mind.
If you have an old, beautiful home in New Orleans, these bugs are your worst nightmare. Originally from East Asia, Formosan termites cause an estimated billion dollars a year in property damage and control measures. They'll chew through cement, brick and plastic on their way to a water source, and now infest about thirty percent of New Orleans' live oaks and Cyprus trees. It's believed that the termites were accidentally shipped back from Asia aboard crates after World War II, which were offloaded in port cities in the Gulf. Now they have established themselves in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, North and South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.
Feral pigs are a nuisance in the southern states, rooting up crops and crowding out other wild animals. Never fear, however, there's a plan in development to give them birth control.
Well this sounds like a little boys dream come true. Forbes reports that the slimy plant commonly know as rock snot can cover what was a lovely stream in a gross mass that looks like used, wet toilet paper, smothering food sources of aquatic insects and fish. All it takes is one cell being carried there on someone's shoe to get the aggressive invasion started.

Automated Packaging Systems: Integrated weigh scale and bag packaging system
Specifically designed for fresh and frozen food packaging, Automated Packaging Systems has teamed with BBC Technologies to develop a new high-productivity bag packaging solution that incorporates an automated weigh scale from BBC Technologies and the FAS SPrint Revolution bagger from Automated Packaging Systems for a packaging solution that improves productivity and reduces labor costs.
BBC Technologies designs and manufactures food processing equipment for sorting, cleaning, weighing, and packaging fresh produce, with emphasis on small, soft, and delicate products, including blueberries, cherries, small tomatoes, cranberries, and other fruit. Its equipment provides vision sorting, soft sorting, weighing, cleaning, filling, and turnkey solutions.
Automated Packaging Systems manufactures the SidePouch bag packaging systems, which are ergonomically designed for high-productivity food packaging. A horizontal row of pre-opened bags are automatically queued for loading products directly into the bag from the integrated scale, then each bag is automatically sealed and transferred to a packing area.
Automated Packaging Systems' SidePouch bags are available in a wide range of sizes and with a variety of special features, such as reclosable zippers, resealable flaps, reinforced headers, easy-open perforations, tamper-evident seals, and stand-up pouch. These system-matched bags come in several different materials that can be pre-printed with high-resolution graphics in up to 10 colors, text and barcodes – making them suitable for retail and wholesale food applications.

While I consider myself loyal to Warby Parker as far as eyewear and customer experience go, a new discovery — DITTO — is nipping at their heels. While they don't provide a home try-on (yet) and don't yet have their own line of hip frames, the DITTO site is extremely innovative.
The site allows you to take a three-dimensional photo of yourself using a webcam and the guides provided on the site and then uses their measurements to suggest designer frames that will best fit the size of your face.
And then you can try on all the pairs! I opted for a pair of tortoiseshell Ray Ban New Wayfarers. (P.S. — Don't judge my awful stoic expression — I was focusing really hard on making my DITTO!)
I think this concept takes glasses and online shopping to a new level. I'm excited to see how others (like Warby Parker) react to this. The experience was totally helpful, but I'm not sure yet that anything can beat the amazing price offered by Warby.
Lovelies, have you tried DITTO? Would you consider buying a pair after only trying them on virtually?

text: So it's one week (minus a day) till the race I've been working towards all year, the provincial mountain bike championships. I've trained and raced hard all year and am feeling strong at this point. I'm wonder what you guys do the week before a big race? Should I rest, easy spins, some hard efforts during the week? I was planning on just resting, perhaps with some easy easy miles, and with one hard effort mid week to "blow out the pipes". Does this sound OK?

Immigration Back in the Senate; Transparency Back in the HouseJune 25, 2007 - by David Moore
Looking ahead to the week in Congress, our colleagues at Congresspedia have put together an overview of the action in the Senate. First up is the resurrection of the immigration bill (formerly S.1348, the second most-viewed bill on OpenCongress), now dubbed S.1639 — Sen. Mel Martinez (R-FL) is pictured at right answering questions about the bill. Second is the Employee Free Choice Act, passed in the House as H.R.800, the fifth most-viewed bill on the site, introduced in the Senate as S.1041. Third is the Senate's consideration of the Defense Appropriations Bill for 2008 (passed in the House as H.R.1585, introduced in the Senate as S.1547 — not to mention two other spending bills that each top $21 billion. As former Senator Everett Dirksen (R-IL) is sometimes attributed as saying, "A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you're talking real money"…
Importantly, Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA) has re-introduced a noteworthy bill furthering government transparency in the House. H.Res504 would "require that legislation and conference reports be available on the Internet for 72 hours before consideration by the House"
- a positive and achievable step forward, our support goes out to its six Congressional co-sponsors. For more info, consult the full text of H.Res504, including this admirable goal: "Enhance public participation in American democracy and improve the quality of proposed legislation by allowing the opportunity for its review by State and local government officials, small business owners, large business leaders, journalists, scientists, academics, labor leaders, nonprofit organization leaders, authors of weblogs, and interested citizens." Thanks to Ellen Miller of the Sunlight Foundation for the heads-up on the bill's re-introduction. The legislation receives a thumbs-up from Josh Tauberer on The Open House Project, and receives additional context and support from Paul Blumenthal on the Sunlight Foundation's blog today. We encourage you to contact your Representative and let them know that you support H.Res504 and that you'll be watching his or her vote - if you receive a response, let us know by sending us a tip. In the meantime, we hope you'll blog about this transparency bill (referring to it as "H.Res504") and a link to your blog post will likely be picked up on the bill's page here on OpenCongress.

Pain of sister's murder recalled in new book
Published 23/10/2012 | 14:49
AUTHOR ANGELA Doyle-Stuart has written of the pain of losing her sister to murder, in her book 'Loving Lisa: Stolen Life, Stolen Dreams.'
Lisa Doyle was killed three years ago in Leighlinbridge. Her fiancée Ger O'Hara strangled her as she slept.
Angela appeared on last week's Late Late Show to talk about the horror at discovering what had happened, the happy memories of her sister, and how motherhood has helped her recover.
'Lisa was full of life, adventurous, kind and hilarious,' said Angela. ' Whenever you were around her you couldn't stop laughing, she'd have you in great form.'
The sisters shared a special bond. 'She was a wonderful sister to me. I always felt calm in her presence. I always felt that when I was with Lisa I had a sense of peace.'
However, Angela never quite took to Ger. He was unfriendly and quiet, and Angela felt that he resented the friendship she and Lisa shared.
He told gardaí after the murder that he did not know why he had the urge to hurt people. He wrote a letter of confession saying that Lisa did not deserve what he had done to her.
'I have put him to a place in my mind that I will never go to,' said Angela. 'I'm a mother, my son needs a mother that is happy and strong and not affected by all that darkness.'
Angela's book was launched last Wednesday in Kilkenny.

DTI Resorts to Mediation of Cases
The Department of Trade and Industry now resorts to mediation as an alternative source to expensive and tedious court litigations to resolve the mounting cases of consumer complaints, which are averaging 100 a month at its National Capital Region office alone.
Trade and Industry Secretary Peter B. Favila said this in support of the Malacanang directive under Executive Order No. 523 "Administrative Justice Reform by Instituting the Use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)," which mandates all agencies under the Office of the President to develop, implement and institutionalize an ADR program, and report the progress of such efforts annually to the President.
"We are echoing President Gloria Arroyo's call to actively promote and encourage the use of ADR as an important means to achieve speedy and impartial justice. We hope that through the participants' internship in one of our offices, more and more cases can be resolved via mediation," Favila said.
Favila said that DTI-NCR is hosting the ADR internship, which is the second phase of the ADR program in the Executive Department.
DTI-NCR receives an average of 100 complaints in a month. During the first quarter of 2007, its Legal Affairs Center has docketed 318 complaints, primarily violations against the Consumer Act of the Philippines such as deceptive, unfair and unconscionable sales acts or practices, consumer product and service warranties, labeling and fair packaging, advertising and sales promotion, regulation of repair and service firm, and consumer product and service warranties, labeling and fair packaging, advertising and sales promotion, regulation of repair and service firm, and consumer credit transaction. …

. nothing particularly sexist about it.
Thumbs up for
reference. Personally, I think she's quite attractive, though.
Ok, here's it saved in wordpad and then cut and pasted
[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]The good;
Stonking great battle, some lovely Inara/Mal stuff and sex aplenty for everyone. Small scene but I love the bit where Mal is doing his best John Wayne impression organising the defence of the brothel and then starts to panic when Pateleen goes into labour only to be saved by level-headed Simon (her kid must have the strangest trio of midwives ever).
The bad;
Silver foil can't hide the cheapness of the sets. Didn't they think to lock up or put a guard on Serenity overnight? If Jayne can take out the M60 gunner on the back of the hovercraft with his M14 can't he just slot Ranse and then it would all be over? You also wonder that Ranse just hands over his deadly, pride and joy pistol to the first stranger who admires it?
Best line;
Nandi;(of the Firefly crew) "If they're got guns and brains that's all I need"
Inara; "Well they've got guns...."
Packing heat
Too many guns to count but notably Jayne with his M14 and the return of Wash's Colt Cobra .44. Ranse wears a fancy laser pistol which is rare sight for a non-core world. I'm informed that Shepherd's weapon in War Stories was a Goncz GA-9 pistol, great gun enthusiasts on the Xena boards.
Kinky dinky
Inara bursts in on Mal 'handling his weapon'. She prefers his dinky Colt 32 instead (Wash's 'Leave no man behind' gun from War Stories). Mal and Jayne indulge themselves at the bordello with Jayne in particular getting into some hi-jinks with his blonde to judge by his transmission to Mal just before the gunfight.
Notches on the Serenity bedpost
; Mal finally get's some action. Jayne get's so much he might leave the crew in debt to the Madam.
Inarra;3+1 possible, Atherton.
Wash; 1-the missus
Zoe; 1-the hubby
Jayne; 1-at least 1 Heart of Gold whore and possibly many others
Mal; 1-Nandi
Capt subtext
Obviously the idea is that Nandi is a substitute for Inara. Does Mal take up with her because she's 'An independent' and not tainted in his eyes with her support for the Alliance? There are also male whores, one wonders are Companions exclusively female or do they also have male members...oh for a different phrasing.
When Mal shows no interest in her girls Nandi wonders if he's gay? His answer that 'I LEAN towards the womenfolk' is strangely ambiguous. One could speculate that Ranse represents the dark side of Mal himself, you wonder after this ep will Mal continue to use the word whore as an insult?
How'd they get away with that?
The scene where Ranse humiliates Chari on the saloon balcony is just unwatchable
Subverting the Hollywood cliche
Having met the villain tough-guy Mal wishes to bravely run away. Jayne the callous womaniser actually likes to snuggle with his hooker. Pateleen shows the father his newborn son and then blows his head off in front of her baby with a .357 Magnum.
Whedon cliches
Devoted siblings, haunted charismatic leading man. Teenage girls with superpowers. Hookers. Babbling insane girls with truth in their madness. Fake cockneys. Misguided religious zealots. Numbered t-shirts. Girls with botanical names (Willow, Saffron, Jasmine). Absent fathers. Clever use of extensive flashbacks. Women in boxes. Misogynists who get what's coming to them.
Women good/men bad
Rans tells the woman pregnant with his child that if necessary "I'll cut it out of you!" He really is just scum, reminds me of Caleb. The scene where Mal compliments him "She's a beauty" and he takes it to mean his sidearm rather than his wife really sums up the character right there.
; I figure 5 each for Mal, Jayne and Zoe
Mal; 17-
Zoe; 17-
Jayne; 16-
Wash; 2
River; 3
Happy high-class hookers in Space
In this case, low class hookers in space. Inara draws a distinction between Companions and whores but seems to have no problem with them. Nandi hints that there was a great mystery surrounding Inara's decision to leave the home of the Companion Guild where she was on track to go far.
Know the face?
The beautiful Melinda Clarke is familar to fans of Xena as Valesca and also plays a more exotic Lady of the Night on CSI. Be sure to check her out as the incredible S&M zombie in Return of the Living Dead 3.
Looking at her you wonder did she maybe audtion for the role of Inara?
Any or all of the crew indulging themselves in/deciding to work at the Heart of Gold (Kaylee "I love to make people happy and here that's now my job") plus several where Nandi does decide to take up Mal's offer and flee, her girls/boys setting up their new business on the Serenity itself.
Missing scenes
Reputedly a scene where Ranse's wife comes to the Heart of Gold the night before the battle to try to convince Pateleen to just give her the kid, that she has everything to offer a child and it's the only thing her life is lacking, the only thing she can't do is concieve. Another supposedly has Zoe berating Jayne and Mal for sleeping with the Heart of Gold hookers, saying that no woman would ever act as they did and pointing out that none of the Firefly females took advantage of the male whores. At which point Kaylee looks suddenly guilty and slips quietly out the room...
Western cliches;
Storyline is very similar to aspects of Unforgiven, The Magnificent 7 and Young Guns Pt 2. Nandi rather reminiscent of Marlene Dietrich's Cattle Queen of Montanna. Mal does the traditional 'stagecoach jump' from the horse onto Ranse' hovercraft.
Firefly speak;
Weak tea=not good
Back birth=idiot
Companion=high class courtesan
Rutting=bloody (or perhaps 'fraking'?)
Purple belly=officious bureaucrat
Ta-gow=Oh god!
Won-gwa-pee= to urinate or defecate
Wah=what the hell?
Mah song=quickly
Nu-shu-quong=nice going
Sheinou-niou=no good
Mei, mei=little sister
Moon brain=inbred?
Swa-shi=petty, small time
Roller=tank or armoured vehicle
Wetware=smuggled organs
astonishingly with all the lead flying around our heroes get away unscathed
Mal; 2-
Crew injured;
not even Simon get's beaten up
Reminds me off;
Nandi is very like Tina Turner's character in Mad Max 3. Inara weeping when she discovers Mal has slept with Nandi is similar to Willow's when she finds out Faith has bedded Xander. Mal wishing to meet Ranse before taking him on is reminiscent of the famous Pacino/De Niro scene in Heat.
Questions and observations;
Jayne in a hat again, a stetson for the first time. Zoe wants a baby but Wash is reluctant given their precarious lifestyle. Inara actually get's into the fighting, holding a knife to Ranse throat. Nice quip from Mal when Nandi kisses him, he waits to see if he's going to pass out (as with Saffron). How did they know Chari was the traitor?
Marks out of 10
;7 out of 10, a fairly slight story but well told and some nice Mal/Inara stuff
