The complex civilization of the Mayans
Seeing something like the ruins of Chichen Itza is amazing and a feast for the eyes. Sure to most it may seem like nothing but a huge pyramid and several ruins but learning the complex nature of the Mayan culture when your guide explains the various points of interest is amazing. One great memory is having seen the sacrifical pool at Chichen Itza....more

Expert review of Blythswood Square
Situated amidst classic Georgian architecture on the upmarket Blythswood Square, this landmark property dates back to 1823 and has long been one of the most sought after addresses in the city. Once home to the Royal Scottish Automobile Club (RSAC) – the chequered flag for the fabled Monte Carlo rally once fell outside its doors – the building has been transformed by a £26 million project to create the city's leading boutique hotel. Inside, the aristocratic building maintains its historical lure by showcasing marble fireplaces, period ceilings, Herculean pillars and tobacco-smoked wood panelling throughout its rich interior. Boasting the city's first luxury spa – its treatment room doors swung open in September 2010 – the hotel has already wooed the critics, making the Conde Nast Hot List just months after opening. A true five-star renaissance.
A literal stone's throw from the award-winning Glasgow School of Art, home to the city's poster boy for design and architecture, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and the city's famous shopping mile Buchanan Street, the Blysthwood certainly keeps good company. With both Queen Street and Central Stations a leisurely five-minute walk away and some of the city's best restaurants, bars and nightclubs right on its doorstep, location, location, location never rang truer. Tucked between West Regent and West George Streets, it even becomes a peaceful after hours sanctuary from the late night revellers on nearby Bath and Sauchiehall Streets.
One hundred guest rooms are on-site including an exclusive penthouse, complete with its own private lift, hot tub and terrace area for use on the few days when the notorious Scottish weather surprises everyone. Its deluxe rooms are fitted with black and white wall prints, Spanish marble bathrooms and Egyptian cotton drapes and duvets. Scotland's very own Harris Tweed also makes a welcome appearance. The real stars of the show are the deluxe rooms complete with garden views across the square. Free WiFi is a bonus too.
Check availability and compare prices for Blythswood Square
The restaurant, which was formerly a grand ballroom for the RSAC, has high ceilings and is well lit from the framed timber windows. It specialises in grand affairs and is perfect for parties and family get-togethers.
Overseen by one of Scotland's most acclaimed young chefs, the signature restaurant caters to the a la carte crowd with top end haute cuisine using only the best of Scottish produce. On the first floor, The Salon is a full-blown cocktail bar perfect for lazing in its decadent leather sofas with a late night whisky. During the day, it serves up more sobering Afternoon Teas.
The on-site spa has two relaxation pools, several luxury treatment rooms and a café to unwind in after all the pampering.
Its unfailing polite and courteous staff are a cut above the rest at the city's other premier hotels.

I wonder how much example.com would sell on auction? It's a PR8 and it had no content
In the DNS settings, www is entered as a sub domain. But what xxtoni says above is the reason why it is not a normal sub domain, it is treated as if it is present or not in the same way.
I just did a simple test on one of my older sites that has good PR and Alexa Rank and the figures for PR and Alexa rank are the same for all 4 combinations of:
But the PR for:
blog.site.com is completely different (Alexa rank the same).
So in this case blog.site.com is being treated as a different website by Google. But Alexa seems to only look at the TLD.

Moar lameness?!!
Good grief Sadie!!! She is now limping on the front right. She seems awfully tense from the knee to the ankle and can't trot without a limp.
I cold hosed her for about 20 mins and put some Vetrolin on her leg from the shoulder down.
I am thinking she twisted her ankle? She wasn't really even playing hard! She just trotted off and then started limping after about 2 circles around me.

Last July, we told you that Car Talk's Tom and Ray Magliozzi were in the process of creating an animated series for PBS about the Tappet brother's on and off-air hijinks in Harvard Square. While you'll have to wait until July 9th for the first of ten episodes of "As the Wrench Turns," later this month, Click and Clack will be starring in a Nova production entitled "Car of the Future," where Tom searches for a suitable candidate to replace his rarely running and often maligned '52 MG roadster.

A neighborhood reunites with a former stray
If you're going to be a stray dog, you might want to be one in Oak Brook, Ill.
It's one of Chicago's wealthiest suburbs — the kind of place with well-manicured lawns to pee on, porches and gazebos offering some shade, and handouts from humans that might include pork tenderloin, or steak.
At least that was Rusty's experience.
For four years, Rusty roamed the Forest Glen neighborhood of Oak Brook, keeping a certain distance from its residents, but happily accepting their offers of food.
"I would leave pieces of steak and pork tenderloin at the end of the driveway," said one Forest Glen resident.
"We thought we were the only people taking care of him," said another, who fed him steak and bacon.
Harry Peters, president of the Forest Glen Homeowners Association, said Rusty, a chow-sheltie mix, eventually developed some discriminating tastes: "I put a hot dog out there once — I'll never forget it — and he lifted his leg and peed on it. My neighbor was giving him steak."
Despite all the handouts, Rusty kept his distance. He'd play with neighborhood dogs, but avoided getting too close to humans. When residents walked their dogs, Rusty would follow behind — again at a distance.
While residents were enjoying his presence, and fattening him up, many of them worried about how he was able to survive the harsh winters, and able to avoid becoming a victim of street traffic.
For four years, any attempts to catch him were in vain, up until 2010 when he was captured in a back yard and turned over to the Hinsdale Humane Society.
There he was treated for a heartworm infestation, and thousands of dollars were donated to help pay for his care. Attempts were made to make him more sociable with humans, so that he could be adopted out to one of the many expressing interest in doing so.
But Rusty, who maintained a preference for living outside, never reached that point, shelter officials told the Chicago Tribune.
Instead he was sent to Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah, where he'd have room to roam.
Before taking him to Utah, Jennifer Vlazny, operations manager for the humane society, brought Rusty back to the neighborhood he once roamed for one last visit. Residents petted him and photographed him, and some cried when he left.
After some time at Best Friends, Rusty was adopted by a Kanab resident, Kristine Kowal, a retired school nurse who once lived in the Chicago area.
Kowal made a Facebook page and posted regular updates on it about Rusty, by then renamed Rusty Redd.
Peters, the neighborhood association president, visited Rusty and Kowal in January, while on a business trip to Las Vegas. He mentioned to Kowal then that, if she was to ever come to Chicago for a visit, he'd arrange a gathering so residents could have a reunion with the dog.
That happened this past weekend.
Kowal drove Rusty 1,800 miles from Utah for the reunion.
"I just thought it was something that I needed to do — to take him back, and kind of make it a full circle," Kowal said.
Residents gathered Sunday in a gazebo in the Forest Glen subdivision, where they were able to pet him, many for the first time.
Vlazny, the Tribune reported, was amazed at his transformation from feral dog to pet.
Rusty seemed to remember the old neighborhood, and residents — even some who had since moved out of state — came to the reunion to see an old friend.
"The closest Rusty would ever get to me was 40 feet," said Frank Manas, feeding the dog a chunk of mozzarella cheese. His family had moved from Forest Glen to Wisconsin, but returned Sunday to see Rusty.
"We said, if Rusty can come all the way from Utah, we can come from Eau Claire," said Julie Manas, his wife.
"Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh — I'm petting him!" said Julie Gleason, who used to feed Rusty when he visited the nearby office park where she works.
"It's a real-life fairy tale."

Another Ace doppelganger surfaces
From time to time, about once every couple of years, I hear from a reader who thinks their dog looks just like mine.
That's my dog Ace above — one of a kind, I like to think, but a mix of four breeds according to repeated DNA testing conducted after I adopted him from a Baltimore animal shelter nearly 10 years ago.
And, no, one of them isn't German shepherd, though that is the most common guess.
The guessing is one of the joys of mutt ownership, along with the fact that — unlike with, say, Golden retrievers — running into an exact replica of your dog is something you tend to get excited about.
So, naturally, when May Tayar in Florida stumbled across Ace on the Internet, and saw how much he resembled his mystery mutt, he got pretty excited.
Tayar, who lives in Florida, had assumed his dog Bobby (left), adopted from an animal shelter in Miami, was a German shepherd mix. After reading about Ace's heritage, now he's not so sure.
"Bobby looks exactly like Ace," Max wrote me earlier this month in an email, with three Bobby photos attached.
"We always wondered what mix of breeds he is," Tayar said of Bobby. "He sometimes looks like a German shepherd, but when he's standing next to a real one he looks nothing like him. Also Bobby's tail is clipped so we don't know what his tail would have looked like."
Whether Bobby's tail would have curled up into a question mark, like Ace's does when he's in a good mood (we thank the Akita for that), will never be known.
While Bobby doesn't have Ace's tail, he has something Ace doesn't have — pointy ears, or at least sometimes pointy ears. Not until I got to the third photo were they shown in the full upright position, suggesting to me that Bobby, unlike Ace, may have some shepherd in him.
After reading about Ace's origins on ohmidog!, Max is now convinced Bobby, like Ace, is a Rottweiler, Akita, chow and pit bull mix. (Despite the bad reputation those breeds have, I generally share that information with everyone — except maybe landlords and insurers — because he shows how undeserved those reputations are.)
"We've been thinking about Ace a lot," wrote Max, who owns Assara, a laser hair removal business in Manhattan. "… Every time Bobby's ears go down and he gets a certain look on his face we call him Ace to see if he reacts."
No sooner did I write the above then I came across, online, another Ace lookalike — really more of a Bobby lookalike, but with even bigger ears.
I was checking out the blog Puppy Leaks (I think you'd like it) when I saw a photo of Laika. That's her to the left.
I went to the Puppy Leaks Facebook page, and sent a message to the blog's author, Jen Gabbard, asking her if she knew what breeds were in Laika, and if it would be OK if I included Laika in this post as well, promising to poke only the gentlest fun at her highly impressive ears.
Laika, according to DNA tests Gabbard had conducted, is a mix of German shepherd, Rottweiler and pit bull.
Of course, what breeds are in a dog doesn't define a dog — nor does the size of its ears.
It's all relative. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and maybe even more so in the eye of the owner. Though some have pointed out they think Ace's floppy ears are disproportionately small for his body, I've always seen them as just perfect.
I'm sure Max sees Bobby, and Jen sees Laika, the same way.
And the funny thing is, we're all right.

How a dog named Scout avoided becoming dinner and became the life of the party
Talk about your culture shock.
One week, this chow mix appeared destined to become somebody's dinner. The next — after being rescued from a dog meat market in Yulin, China — he was mingling with celebrities and members of congress at a Humane Society of the United States's (HSUS) gala in Washington, D.C.
Just two nights after arriving in the U.S., the dog, since named Scout, was the life of the party at a fundraiser that brought in more than $100,000 in pledges for Humane Society International (HSI) to open an office in Vietnam that will work to end the custom of eating dogs, according to HSUS Chief Program and Policy Officer Mike Markarian
The event was part of last week's Taking Action for Animals conference.
Scout was one of 200 dogs recently rescued by Chinese animal protection activists from a dog meat market in Yulin.
Peter Li, Humane Society International's China specialist, was in Yulin with other activists protesting a dog meat festival.
He came across Scout and another pup, sharing a small cage on the back of a motorcycle, and purchased them from a vendor, according to a Humane Society blog. Li kept one of the dogs and shipped the other to the U.S.
Days later, rather than being dinner, Scout attended one, where he was showered with attention, according to Animal Issues Reporter.
While the 12-week-old dog has landed in the lap of luxury, Scout will likely be earning his keep, becoming a poster boy in the campaign to end the consumption of dogs by some humans in some Asian countries
"I would really like to make sure he's an ambassador to the community" said Leslie Barcus, HSI board member and executive director of VegFund, who adopted Scout. "We could use his help for educational purposes about the plight of street dogs and of dogs used as food — for human consumption –across Asia and other parts of the world. He'll be in the community a lot, and he'll be a friend of everybody."

For this Hachi, the wait is over
Rescued by firefighters, an Akita-chow mix named Hachi had burns over 60 percent of his body when he arrived at a southern California animal hospital.
That was back in the fall of 2009 when the dog was pulled from a Gardena auto shop that had been set ablaze in an apparent suicide.
Over the weeks he received treatment for his burns at the Affordable Animal Hospital in Torrance, dozens of people expressed interest in adopting him — but no one followed through. About a year ago, Hachi — after surviving the fire, after prolonged and costly medical treatment — appeared headed for a sadly ironic end.
When Faith Summerson, founder of Pal Rescue, heard Hachi was about to be euthanized by the county shelter due to lack of space, she stepped forward, and Hachi was rescued again.
She picked him up and sought to find him a forever home – keeping him in one of her kennels and later at her own home.
Pal Rescue was founded in 1995 and has helped find homes for over 3,000 cats and dogs. Hachi, though — despite gaining notoriety on the Internet, because of his unusual appearnace, as the "Terminator" dog — didn't appear destined to become one of them.
Until last month, when his year and a half wait ended.
After his story appeared on the news, Pal Rescue reports, they heard from a man who had recently lost his own dog. While many had offered him dogs to fill the void of his previous dog's death, he had turned them all down, opting to wait instead for a dog who truly needed him — one not everybody else would want.
Call it rescue No. 3 for Hachi, a dog named, after his first rescue, for the legendary Akita, Hachiko, who waited every day at a train station in Japan for his master to return from work — and continued to do so for another 10 years after his master's death.
The rescue organization reports that Hachi's new dad is "a very dedicated and experienced dog owner that has had many beloved dogs in his lifetime, and always gravitated to the ones most in need."
"The two hit it off immediately when we home delivered Hachi yesterday … Hachi was at ease the moment he walked in the door."

Blind Sinkhole Sam needs a home
The Arizona Humane Society is seeking a home for a blind dog who fell into a 20-foot sinkhole.
Now dubbed "Sinkhole Sam," the dog was rescued from the hole in March after children heard his cries. Humane Society officials say that, other than being blind, Sam was found to be in good health.
An eye doctor confirmed his blindness and also diagnosed him with glaucoma. Both his eyes were removed by a veterinarian to ease pressure and avoid complications later in life, KTAR in Phoenix reported.
Sam, a four-year-old Australian shepherd-chow mix, will be available for adoption beginning at 11 a.m. today at the Sunnyslope Facility located at 9226 N. 13th Ave., Phoenix.
"Sam is a resilient dog who has persevered through a tough couple of months," said Kimberly Searles, spokesperson for the AHS. "His sweet personality has won the hearts of our staff and we just know he's going to make a great pet for someone."
The adoption fee is $110 and includes neutering, the first set of vaccinations, leash, collar, ID tag and a free follow-up veterinary exam.

Chow Hounds: Why our dogs are fatter
If your dog is fat — and statistics indicate nearly half are — you might want to check Dr. Ernie Ward's recent online chat, sponsored by the Washington Post.
About 45 percent of all adult dogs and 58 percent of cats are overweight. That's 34 million fat dogs and 54 million fat cats — all at risk for diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, kidney disease, cancer and more.
Ward recently published a book on the pet obesity epidemic, "Chow Hounds: Why Our Dogs Are Getting Fatter – A Vet's Plan to Save Their Lives" (2010 HCI Publishing).
Here are a few excerpts from his online chat:
"No one is getting enough physical activity in this country. This is why owning a dog is a great incentive for exercise. All dogs need at least 20-30 minutes of aerobic intensity walking per day. Larger breeds often need much more…
"Neutering and spaying reduces a dog or cat's metabolic rate by 25-35%. This is why you can not feed according to pet food labels. These guidelines are made for intact adult pets. In my book, I go into considerable detail on how to calculate the exact number of calories your pet needs each day based on its lifestyle…
"Most dogs eat until the are full and tend not to overeat. The reasons that dogs overeat are largely due to the changes in dog food formulation, hence the term 'Kibble Crack' I use in Chow Hounds. I go into great detail on how pet food companies have added sugar and fat to trick a dog's normal appetite…"
Then there was this exchange, and I can only hope both were joking:
Q. "I like to carry my little dog around in my purse. Is there anything I could get for the dog to exercise while in the purse? You know, like a wheel for him to run in?"
A. "I recently patented the 'pocket treadmill.' I would be glad to sell you a prototype."
Ward directs those wanting to learn more to the Association for Pet Obesity's website, to visit his own website, or, of course, to read his book.

Gucci, the dog that changed Alabama's law
Gucci, the dog who helped make animal abuse a felony in Alabama, died Wednesday.
Doug James — Gucci's rescuer and owner — said he made the difficult decision to euthanize the dog, who recently turned 16.
"I had dreaded it, and put if off for two or three days," James, who lives in Mobile told the Times Daily. "His kidneys were failing him."
James caught some youths torturing the chow-husky mix one night in 1994. The youths hanged the dog by his neck and set him on fire.
The incident triggered a campaign for animal rights that resulted in the Pet Protection Act, better known as the "Gucci Law," in Alabama.
The act , making animal cruelty a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison, was signed by then-Gov. Don Siegelman on May 19, 2000 – the sixth anniversary of the attack – as Gucci looked on.
Gucci's celebrity continued after that, with appearances at schools, on "The Maury Povich Show" and "Inside Edition." He also played played "Sandy" in Mobile theatrical productions of "Little Orphan Annie."
The dog was only 12 weeks old when he was beaten, hung in a tree by his neck, doused with lighter fluid and set on fire. Two of the three abusers received sentences of community service, while a third — the lone adult — was sentenced to six months in jail.
"If ever there was a dog that should hate people it should be Gucci, but he loved everyone," said Brenda Cashdollar, vice president of Friends of the Mobile Animal Shelter.
Cashdollar told Al.com that Gucci was unable to walk by the time of his 15th birthday, but still wagged his tail in response to those who greeted him. A party planned to mark his 16th birthday Saturday at B&B Pet Stop in Mobile will now serve as a memorial event, organizers said.
Gucci will be cremated, James said, and his ashes will be placed in a memorial garden planned at the Mobile Animal Shelter.

1998 Dodge Neon • 4 cylinder FWD Automatic •
1998 dodge neon, it keeps acting like it's missing out, spark plugs were changed, but still does it and is getting worse. Please help, I need a dependable car to be able to take care of my dad

Are you seeing a check engine warning on the dash? On the surface, it sounds a like perhaps plug wires or a coil pack failing, but computer trouble codes would probably be much more definitive! Take the car to any Autozone and ask them to connect a scanner to read any fault codes. Then write them all down, and report those fault codes on this forum and you are very likely to get adequate help!
Jun 1, 2011.
Jun 1, 2011.
Yes, the check engine warning goes on and off but so do all of the other ones on the dash, (seatbelt warning, fuel gauge, hot/cold gauge, etc.) And the speedometer works sometimes and sometimes not. Thank you, I will definitely go to autozone first. I will post whether it helped or not. Supposedly 3 mechanics where my dad takes his vehicles to get fixed could not figure it out.

I do know that when I had bought the car, they had run a code reader (whatever it's called) and they said all they come up with was, I think, an oxygen sensor or something and they said it was no big deal.
Jun 2, 2011.
Jun 2, 2011.
The O2 sensor can cause a problem but usually not a steady miss. Check to make sure the injectors are working, plugs, coil, and wires are good. If all is good, check engine compression to make sure there are no weak cylinders.

'Yatsenyuk could be controlled by CIA through Scientology' [Alexander Dvorkin @ The Voice of Russia]

The Voice of Russia is attempting to look at the hidden agenda of the Ukrainian crisis. Mr. Turchinov, the acting President of the country, is a Baptist pastor with links to the neo-pentacostal religious group; the acting prime minister Mr. Yatsenyuk, is said to belong to the scientology movement; Greek Catholics have been prominent in Maidan and have played a prominent role along with a number of the so-called new religious movements. How come the different religious groups are pursuing a common political goal?

A Portrait of Overpopulation on a Personal and Global Canvas
Donella H. Meadows. Donella H. Meadows, a. co- of "Beyond the Limits: Confronting Global Collapse, Envisioning a Sustainable Future" , is an adjunct professor of environmental studies ., The Christian Science Monitor
Shortly after World War II, when death rates started plummeting in what were then called the "underdeveloped countries," the wealthy nations began to be concerned in an organized way about population growth. The concern was based partly on abstract compassion for the burgeoning hordes, partly on ecological worries, partly on security considerations. Those hordes live in places that supply us with metals, oil, timber - places where political stability is important to us.
Whatever the causes for the concern, a simple solution emerged. The folks having all those babies must not know any better. Give them contraceptives.
So international family-planning programs were born. To some extent, they worked. The poorest women in the most isolated places began to hear the astounding ideas that they might choose the time and number of their pregnancies.
The women chose, however, to have many pregnancies. They needed children to work in the household, to tend the animals, to send to the city to earn money, to provide old-age support. Given the mean economics of their lives, children were one of the few forms of wealth available to them.
Eventually the international community caught on and came up with a new theory. These people need development. Build dams and roads and electric plants and factories. That lasted a few decades. Global population continued to soar upward, eating up, almost literally, whatever development did occur.
Another theory emerged: Focus on women. Give them education and jobs and power. Involve them as equal and dignified partners in the process of development. This women's agenda was the breakthrough of the recently concluded World Conference on Population and Development in Cairo. Like the previous breakthroughs - the commitments to family planning and development - it is an essential part of the answer. But not all of the answer. Even family planning, development, and women's empowerment together do not make up the full or final solution to the population problem.
Moffett, a reporter for this newspaper, has covered the population issue for years, and he knows it is a messy, fascinating, profoundly human topic. He avoids oversimplicities - but he also manages not to get swamped in complexities.
"Critical Masses" is a remarkably balanced book, balanced not only in keeping an equilibrium among the hot-button issues (abortion, Malthusianism, the pope), but balanced between population as a global issue versus a personal one. Moffett goes back and forth from the particular to the general, from policy to the lives of real people. …

A Convertible, Nicki Minaj and Lunch in Beverly Hills: A Day With Norman Lear at 90
A Convertible, Nicki Minaj and Lunch in Beverly Hills: A Day With Norman Lear at 90
Norman Lear guides his white Lexus convertible out of the driveway and down the winding curves of L.A.'s Mandeville Canyon with Nicki Minaj booming profanely from the speakers. Jaunty in his trademark white hat, Lear is heading to a lunch at Bouchon in Beverly Hills, and as he goes, he's checking out Grammy nominees.
Lear would like you to know that this is part of a very busy day. This morning, at his sprawling, traditional house -- the walls bedecked with De Kooning, Rothko, Rauschenberg -- he consulted on the phone with Michael Keegan, president of People for the American Way, a nonprofit progressive organization Lear founded in 1981 out of concern about the rise of the Christian right. (Today's subject is a column for The Huffington Post in which Lear thwacks GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan for laying claim to "a divine mandate for the Tea Party's radically restricted view of the role of government.")
PHOTOS: Norman Lear: The Life and Career of a TV Legend
Naturally, Lear is supporting President Obama despite some disappointment with the administration and the Democrats in Congress who lack the "passionate intensity" of the other side. "What I saw happening 30 years ago with the religious right is now in full force," he says. "There's nothing I wouldn't do for Obama to defeat what I see coming from the right. Nothing."
After lunch, Lear drives to his nearby office at the Concord Music Group, where he is chairman of the board. Concord, one of the world's largest independent record and music publishing companies, boasts a roster of 125 artists including Paul McCartney and Esperanza Spalding, the 2011 Grammy winner for best new artist. But today, Lear is getting a briefing on another Concord initiative that involves an app that will use music (and neuroscience) to promote sleep and stress relief. Then, after a haircut, he will head to former Warner Bros. co-chairman Bob Daly's house for dinner.
If all this activity seems atypical for a 90-year-old, Lear hardly is typical, though he would argue that he is. He created a bumper sticker for his car that reads, "Just Another Version of You." His message is that we are all alike. But really, there's no one like Lear, creator of such groundbreaking sitcoms as All in the Family, Maude, One Day at a Time, Good Times, Fernwood Tonight and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.
"He's a giant," says Fred Silverman, who ran programming at CBS from 1970 to 1976. "He really showed 'em how it could be done." He singles out Good Times, set in the Chicago housing projects, as the type of show that no one had done before. "It was about something," says Silverman. "It wasn't just trying to be funny."
Unlike the frothy sitcoms of the day -- CBS was airing Petticoat Junction, Green Acres and The Beverly Hillbillies in the years leading up to All in the Family -- Lear's shows dealt with gritty issues: abortion, rape and murder and even impotence. Rob Reiner played Archie Bunker's son-in-law coping with that last affliction in an early episode, and he recalls that the CBS standards department balked at airing it. "Norman said, 'This is what I'm going to do, and if you don't want it, I quit,' " says Reiner. "He was serious. … He's got balls the size of Montana."

Army chef spices up life as newest U.S. citizen
November 13, 2009
By Sgt. Lindsey Bradford, Multi-National Corps-Iraq Public Affairs Office
Story Highlights
- Antigua and Barbuda native receives U.S. citizenship while serving in Iraq
- Soldier came to America, joined the U.S. Army to pursue dream of becoming a chef
CAMP VICTORY, BAGHDAD - Growing up with his grandmother, Spc. Andre Barrett knew the importance of love, respect and the power of a home-cooked meal. He longed for the day he could come to the United States and pursue his dream of becoming a skilled chef.
Barrett was born August 16, 1984, in the islands of Antigua and Barbuda. It was in Antigua and Barbuda that Barrett completed high school and realized that he wanted to be a chef.
"My grandmother was a great source of inspiration because she was mainly the one that took care of me and she was always cooking. As she got older, cooking became my responsibility," he said.
Feeling confident in his skills, Barrett went on to represent Antigua in a culinary art competition, called Taste of the Caribbean, in 2006.
"I competed with 13 other islands, being the youngest member of the team when I was 21," he said. "We did well. We placed second and got a silver medal."
Shortly after, Barrett and his wife, Shashawnah, decided to make the move to the United States. He and his wife began adjusting to the move.
When thinking of ways to better pursue a career as a chef, while still being able to provide for his family, Barrett weighed his options and decided to join the U.S. Army in March of 2008.
"The benefits drew me in, and I already knew that cooking came easy so there wasn't any question of what I would do in the Army," said Barrett, speaking about his choice to enlist as a food service specialist.
After completing basic training at Fort Jackson, S.C., Barrett received job-specific training at Fort Lee, in Virginia, and was later assigned to his first duty station, Fort Hood, Texas.
Since Barrett deployed with Fort Hood's 1st Cavalry Division in January, Barrett became eligible to receive his U.S. citizenship, something he said he has always wanted.
"My wife has her citizenship, and I wanted it to be my turn. This is something I can do for myself and my family," he said.
After completing his application process; basic English and U.S. history tests; and personal interviews with a United States Citizenship and Immigration Services agent, a process that can take over five years for people not serving in the U.S. armed forces, Barrett was informed that he would now be a U.S. citizen.
On Nov. 11, in the rotunda of Camp Victory's Al Faw Palace in Baghdad, Barrett got exactly what he wanted in a Veterans Day naturalization ceremony. Barrett was one of 157 Soldiers and Marines, representing 60 different countries, who were granted U.S. citizenship.
"There are so many words to describe this day," he said. "It's good to know I can assist my family members in getting their citizenship, but it also allows me to help other Soldiers who need theirs to do the same thing. I want to set an example for them."
Since his deployment, Barrett said he has been able to work on Soldierly skills, participate in a Thanksgiving culinary competition and make it back for rest and recuperation leave in time for the birth of his first child, a son named Azaire. Barrett will redeploy with 1st Cav. Div. in February 2010, and plans to attend the Army's Advanced Culinary School in April.

text: The manufacturers of other brands of rabbit food in years past have focused on using grain and soy as sources of energy and protein. However, they have discovered that a diet high in grain and protein in fact contributes to diarrhea and high mortality (death) rates.In recent years the pendulum has swung a different direction with a new focus on a high fiber rabbit diet that decreases these problems. However most pelleted diets for rabbits still cause mild digestive problems.

Danny Brown
The Detroit rapper on how Radiohead and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" inspired his forthcoming follow-up to XXX, and why Chief Keef reminds him of the Sex Pistols.
By Larry Fitzmaurice , January 28, 2013
Photo by Colin Kerrigan
In the two years since Danny Brown's breakthrough mixtape, XXX, the Detroit MC has become a ubiquitous figure, a go-to for artists of any stripe-- from A$AP Rocky to Purity Ring to A-Trak-- looking to goose their tracks with an instant spike of adrenaline. And while the self-effacing Brown admits to overextending himself-- "I'm sometimes guilty of rushing through certain feature spots," he tells me-- he's not slowing down. He's set to appear on Schoolboy Q's forthcoming album, and he's clocked in not one but two recording sessions with Australian cut-and-paste enigmas the Avalanches-- though he's as in the dark as the rest of us when it comes to the release of that group's long, long, long-delayed follow-up to 1999's Since I Left You. "I don't know what's up with those guys-- they're very secretive," says Brown. "They treated me great, though."
When I catch up with him on the phone in December, Brown is relaxing in his Detroit home, having just returned from London, where he hung out with Trash Talk and the Streets' Mike Skinner (who he is "a big fan of, obviously"). He's currently wrapping up his next proper full-length, Old, which will see release through Fool's Gold later this year. It's set to feature contributions from A$AP Rocky, Rustie, Schoolboy Q, Kitty, Ab-Soul, Purity Ring, and Oh No, among others. Talking about the record's title, the 32-year-old says, "People are always like, 'Danny, you old', or, 'I liked your old shit better.' I didn't want to just continue where I left off with XXX, because I got a lot of younger fans now that don't know nothing about the hip-hop shit. If people are just looking for dick-sucking jokes, there isn't too many of them."
"I thought that if XXX was my OK Computer,
then I'd have to make my Kid A next."
Pitchfork: XXX sounded very specifically and consciously sequenced to form a narrative, did you approach the making of Old in the same way?
Danny Brown: I always try to act like I'm some old school artist from the 1960s, so I approached this album like I was making it for vinyl: There's a side A and a side B. The way I look at it, I've always been two different artists anyway; I do that underground hip-hop shit and that turned-up trap shit. XXX told a story, so I wanted this one to be like "Curb Your Enthusiasm"-- it's random and all over the place, but by the end it comes together.
Danny Brown: "XXX" (via SoundCloud)
Pitchfork: You've said that while you were making XXX you were listening to a lot of Joy Division. Were there any specific artists you looked to for this album?
DB: I made XXX with the aim of getting great reviews. And when I started making Old, I was trying to think of artists that came back from getting great reviews and made an album that was just as good-- or better! The only group I could really come up with was Radiohead. So if XXX was my OK Computer, then I'd have to make my Kid A next. So I studied Kid A, and I took away that it's not so much about the lyrics as it is about the way the beats feel, so what drives this album is the production. I wanted to have the most amazing beats, but I still want them to sound minimal-- it's still gotta sound like a Danny Brown beat. It can't sound like no fucking Kanye orchestra shit. That ain't me. That's why I took so long with making this album. I was waiting for the perfect beats. And I got 'em.
Pitchfork: Would you consider yourself a perfectionist?
DB: A perfectionist is someone like Dr. Dre or Kanye-- they'll take one song and do 50 takes. I go with my first take for every song. I want to capture a feeling. If I say a word wrong, fuck it. I am a perfectionist as far as listening to it, though. If I'm over a song two weeks after I made it, I'm not going to put it out. It has to last months.
Pitchfork: You're known for your punchlines-- do you worry about not being taken seriously?
DB: You can only go so far with those. I think I'm funny when I'm just talking-- I don't have to make a dick joke to be funny. I might just say something that's not funny to me, but the way it sounded could make a person laugh. It goes along with my vocal range. Anyway, the album is called Old, and I'm 32, so it's time to grow up a little bit.
Danny Brown: "Fields" (via SoundCloud)
Pitchfork: You recently said that Old would be "less funny" than XXX-- but a good deal of XXX isn't very funny.
DB: With XXX, I was trying to make a comedy that also had a lot of drama. This one is just like mad drama [laughs]-- to the point where shit is so fucked up that you need a release. You can't just keep dwelling on how fucked up shit is because that ain't going to do nothing but make you feel depressed, so you gotta just say "fuck it" and take drugs and party.

Pitchfork: Who are some of your favorite rappers out right now?
DB: Kendrick Lamar and everyone from TDE. I love what A$AP Rocky's doing. And, of course, Chief Keef. I listen to him the most. [laughs] I like his older mixtapes a little better though, because old Chief Keef scared me-- I thought he was about to pop up out of nowhere with a hoodie on and shoot me. But I'm not really scared of Finally Rich.
My favorite song of his is "Laughing to the Bank" [laughs]. That's some Sex Pistols-type shit. Remember when everybody said that Odd Future was punk rock? To me, Chief Keef is totally punk rock. Like, the melodies he uses on his album-- it's like he's not even rapping no more, he's just singing. You could swap those synths and keyboards with guitars and fucking crazy drums and he'll be a rock star.
The Alchemist: "Flight Confirmation" [ft. Danny Brown and Schoolboy Q] (via SoundCloud)
Pitchfork: You once tweeted that "Black Hippy are the new Beatles and I'm Harry Nilsson." How would you match up the Beatles to the Black Hippy crew?
DB: Kendrick would be Paul McCartney, Schoolboy Q would be John Lennon, Ab-Soul would be George Harrison-- and [laughs] Jay Rock would be Ringo. I'm like the unofficial fifth member of Black Hippy.
Pitchfork: You seem to be everywhere all the time-- do you ever worry about overexposure?
DB: No, because I don't really feel famous. I'm just an internet guy. I walk down the street and people don't really mess with me too much. I still have my life.
Pitchfork: Are there any downsides to being on the road so much?
DB: I mean, while you're touring, you can't take a shit on a bus. [laughs] But there's no downside to traveling the world and making money. I'm doing something I love. A lot of people have sucky jobs, but I have a good one, and I'm not trying to lose it any time soon. This was one of the best years of my life.
Danny Brown / AraabMuzik: "Molly Ringwald" (via SoundCloud)
Pitchfork: Your music talks a lot about various illicit substances-- are you using any particular drugs regularly?
DB: I'm not experimenting too much now. I've been smoking more weed because I've been making more money, but I calmed down on the molly. That's a party thing. But when I'm on the road, I'm going to fuck around with some molly. When I'm at home and working, I'm doing Adderall. Right now, my drug of choice is lean. I've been smoking a lot of weed, sipping a lot of lean, and falling asleep every day at five o'clock in the afternoon. [laughs]
Pitchfork: Lean can be a dangerous substance to mess around with.
DB: Nah. I look at it like this: I never was a crazy liquor drinker, and I don't like beer that much-- though I keep the brews at home because my homies love beer. But I drink a shit ton of soda-- soda has ran my life. It's probably the worst thing for me, more so than any drug. Anytime I can get blowed off soda, it's tight. And it tastes amazing! [laughs]
I've learned and tested myself, and lean is not something you overdo. A lot of people who died were drinking liquor with lean, which you just don't do. That's the ultimate rule. Another thing: You hear rappers talk about how they "pouring up fo's," but you can't sit around and do that. That's just rapper shit, like if a rapper says he's smoking the best weed in the world, you know he's probably smoking some dirt weed. No one's pouring up no fo's; I got enough to pour that, but I just be pouring ones, and the one lasts me the whole day.

Here are some lotuses that I made for you; they come in 10 different colours. (They are in .PMX format.)
You may edit these, but you may only distribute these on a finished model. No redistribution, please.
Thank you, have a lovely day. Happy MMD'ing! ♥

Patriots Pulse: Jets Fan Makes Fun of Jets & Rex Ryan Has NO CLUE (PHOTO)
Football season is almost upon us and now it's time to make fun of the sh*t show that is the New York Jets. However, Patriots fans don't even have to break a sweat because Jets fans already know the J-E-T-S is a J-O-K-E.
Exhibit A:
A.) nice work, dood, the t-shirt is just fantastic, and B.) were you wearing lipstick? RT @L7Panda Me and Rex pic.twitter.com/BYjpUDgh7P

Wow, looks like "Sexy Rexy" likes to take pictures with people that heckle his employer.
Don't worry Rex after this season, you will be wearing the "This Team Makes Me Drink" shirt looking for a new gig.
