Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to sign 'Ban the Box' bill
BALTIMORE - Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake will sign legislation Thursday prohibiting certain employers from asking job applicants about their criminal past.
The Ban the Box bill, sponsored by Baltimore City Councilman Nick Mosby, won't require employers to hire someone with a criminal record. But companies could be penalized for discriminatory hiring practices.
The legislation draws its name from the yes or no boxes job applicants are often ask to check on applications asking if they have ever been convicted of a crime.
Rawlings-Blake will be joined by Mosby, the Ban the Box Coalition and others from the mayor's Office of Employment Development's Re-Entry Center at the One-Stop Career Center in Mondawmin Mall.
Mosby said in March he wanted to help people with a criminal background at least get the chance to interview instead of getting disqualified after checking yes. Employers can still run background checks, he said.
Opponents of the legislation said it was an unfair restriction on businesses.

Plant Sciences
Plants are the basis for nourishment of a growing world population with changing needs. They are the basis for a future bio-economy of renewable raw materials and resources as well as the starting material for the energetic utilization of biomass. Plants are key elements in approaches to climate change and the preservation of biological diversity.
New technologies such as (non-invasive) pheno-typing with non-invasive methods, modern technologies for plant breeding or modeling and simulation of the interaction genome-environment coupled with bio-informatics open up new approaches to understanding but also for practical implementation of a knowledge-based use of plants for the bio-economy.

Invitations are this chic woman pushing a baby carriage in high heels....
What do you give away as a shower favor? Do they even do this anymore?
Also my friend is making all the cupcakes.....is no cake cheesy?
I'm doing a nautical theme since my husband is a lobstermen and we're from a coastal town in Maine. However, it is not a cheesy little kid nautical. it is sophisticated. Same thing for the nursery - no "little kids stuff" but stuff we can reuse in the house later on. :)

My shower is being called a Mustache Bash and of course is mustache themed.
They are doing chocolate mustache lollipops for favors and bath and body works products for the game prizes.
No cake but cupcakes instead is not tacky at all and no one has to have a theme. A baby shower automatically has a baby theme :)

Work has stopped indefinitely. Thanks for riding along side the mod, and happy hunting stalkers
What This Does
This mod adds lots of new armors, almost all of them can be bought at Owl in skadovsk.
NPCs use these armors too and you'll see veteran stalkers wearing modified military suits and so on, Often just other Camo versions of their vanilla counterpart.
Happy Hunting, stalker!
18 new armors, all of which can be purchased at Owl according to your progress in the game or rank.
Stalkers now wear all the armor implemented, except the 5 special armors which can only be bought from Owl.
2 Mercenary variations (From Build 1935)
2 Freedom variations (from ShoC)
1 Duty Variation (From Build 1935)
1 Bandit Variation
2 Loner Variations
3 new player armors
Added 4 completely new outfits (Thanks to the guys on the AMK forums)
Added 2 new loner variations
Added new bandit variations and replaced the vanilla sunrise suit
Stalkers wear implemented armor, several new suits
OPTIONAL Kaplan's weapon mod
GSC Gameworld
The talented modelers and gents of the AMK forums, if i could speak russian i'd salute you.
AMK Credit list:
Lenya Banshee
Armory Mod 1.0.3 and previous versions are fully available as a mod resource, so long as you only use the models i have made in this mod, not the ones from the AMK forum (refer to me if you want to know what models were borrowed and what were made by me) If you want to use the models from the AMK forum, refer to the various authors listed above on the credit list for usage.
the majority of the models included in this mod belong to their respective owners (GSC Gameworld for all the stalker models, and the modders of the AMK forum, as an example) However i make/enhance textures and the occasional model, as well implementing the models in the game either as NPCs or player armors.
So i recently got a few complaints about the mod crashing the game because it looks for the model in the wrong place. This issue should only occur in the M.S.O merge and can be fixed by the latest HOTFIX. I recently got a negative review due to these crashes, so just to clarify there is a HOTFIX available here on the site and it should fix the problem, so download it and install, and enjoy the mod.
I deeply apologize for this stupid bug which is really my fault, found a section in one of the files where i got really sloppy while testing, which resulted in the crashes that are bugging the M.S.O merge. To clarify even more, M.S.O is not at all involved with this crash, it is solely caused by a mistake in one of the Armory Mod files, so any and all complaints regarding Armory Mod 1.0.3 M.S.O Merge should be directed to me, not Trojanuch.
Happy hunting!

Will this work with the "i work alone" mod?
No, not yet at least. I'm planning to merge Misery though, so stay tuned :)
Are you merging it here or is Misery going to add it themselves compulsory with the next update?
I'm currently working together with the Misery team to make a full fledged merge that will be included in a future release.
Man theres just so many good conversion mods. Swartz, Smrter, Mso, Misery, RCOM. I wish this worked with everything...
Actually, i can't say much but i heard a rumor that Swartz was going to include some of Armory Mod *Wink Wink* ;)
Hey, I'm gonna try and use WinMerge to merge this with Swartz :) I'll to you the results.
:D Thats insane !
Oh damn, no upgrade trees still :( Could you tell me how to add them? Even pre existing trees?
i'm not an expert at upgrade scripting, but as i understand you change the properties of the upgrade tree for the suit of your choice in Outfit.ltx and fiddle around with options in there. Patch 184.108.40.206 will include upgrade trees for most armors :)
Reckon you could include recoloured icons to help recognition in the next update? Thanks! Great mod btw.
Thanks for the suggestion, i'm working on that in 1.0.3 but for now its only the vanilla variations that get new icons, as the new meshes require completely new icons. I'm glad you liked the mod!
:) I just wish it was easy to merge mods like this with conversions. SWartz mod + Armory + AF3 is the dream.
Yeah, i get you :)
I'm actually planning to make a model index so that modders can merge Armory with their mods easier.
Thats good to hear :) I've completed all the missions in Zaton in this playthrough but Owl still sells the same old 'recoloured suits'. What is the yellow jacket with the gp-5 mask called? BTW- Did you see my WIP GP-5 mod?
Its called Modified Novice Jacket :)
I am now up to searching Pripyat. I have sided with beard, and done all stalker quests but still no other suits, The only mission in Zaton i havent done is the 'Mercenary Camp' mission.
This is odd indeed, i had suspected that was broken since 1.0.2. I'll look into it, in the meanwhile you can press f1 inside the menu and a GOTZ menu will pop up, from there you can spawn the armors yourself. I implemented GOTZ for beta testing, but also in the case that one was unable to get the new armors. Hope you can make use of that until i get it fixed :)
Thanks a lot for these quick replys! You can see dedication in the mod. Thanks a bunch mate
Anytime :) I think i got that bug fixed, just did a quick run to skadovsk on a new game and i was able to buy some of the new model suits. I'm putting it in 1.0.3 which i expect is up in a few minutes!
Damn it I just realised the modified trench coats dont have upgrade trees.. :( I'll try and add them. (Also I merged GOTZ into the MSO version since you didnt include it in it)
Theres still some work to be done on upgrades and such, so they'll just have their vanilla counter-part upgrades in later versions :)
As a suggestion I reckon:
-Add a description to the Merc Suit
-Modified Novice Suits should have slightly better stats than the normal novice outfit however keeping the same upgrade tree.
-A couple of wearable helmets, or make the actor not be able to wear a helmet with the outfit.
-Remove the balaclava under the gas mask on one of the models and change the colour from white to something else.
The main thing is the upgrade trees, I really wish I knew how to add them myself cause I can't wait for it :/. GL!
Merc suit has been fixed in 1.0.3 (still awaiting authorization) Thanks for the feedback, good to know what to fix in 126.96.36.199. btw, what model are you referring to? just to be sure, so i don't bug something else up by accident.
I can't remember the name but it is a medium suit that uses the clear sky hooded model and is wearing a xm40 gas mask with transparent lenses and a balaclava under it. Sorry if it doesn't narrow it down. Can't wait for 1.0.3! This mod is going great.
Sounds like a texture error, i'll look into it shortly (Making M.S.O 1.0.1 merge as we speak) Thanks for all the support :)
I'm itching for 1.3 :(
Also, did you take into account merging Armory 1.3 with Swartz. Also, when you edit outfit.itx can you make the actor wear helmets with vanilla armor?
yes, more merges on the way :) planning to do MISERY, Swartz, and maybe (big maybe) SGM 2.2. Also, to answer your question, i think the russians beat me to it, hah
If i get permission i'll merge that mod with mine in 1.0.4, right now i'm working on a patch for 1.0.3 so stay tuned!

Stem cell therapies promise to regenerate the infarcted heart through the replacement of dead cardiac cells and stimulation of the growth of new vessels. New research has found the transplantation of stem cells that reside in human veins can help in the recovery of a heart attack. The findings could lead, in the next few years, to the first human clinical trial.
The study, led by Professor Paolo Madeddu, Chair of Experimental Cardiovascular Medicine in the School of Clinical Sciences at the University of Bristol and colleagues in the Bristol Heart Institute, is published online in Circulation Research: Journal of the American Heart Association.
The study, funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) and a National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) grant, looked at whether human mural cells, known to scientists as pericytes, cells that stay around, can stabilize blood vessels after a heart attack.
The researchers, using a mouse model, have demonstrated for the first time that pericytes expanded from redundant human leg veins are able to stimulate new blood vessels (neovascularization) and help with the recovery after a heart attack.
The study found that upon transplantation pericytes relocate around the vessels of the peri-infarct zone and establish with them physical contacts allowing the transfer of genetic material, microRNA-132 (miR-132). MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA sequences that modulate the expression of genes by binding to messenger-RNA and inhibiting it. One microRNA can inhibit many genes simultaneously. The study shows that the transfer of miR-132 from pericytes to [click to continue…]

Turfgrass diseases are one of the toughest problems to conquer in the pursuit of a beautiful lawn. How to control disease is a very complex and lengthy subject. This is very basic information on how to control disease in turf.
Turfgrass diseases are caused mainly by a parasitic form of plant life called fungi. Fungi are parasitic, they obtain their food from living organisms. In turf diseases the grass plant is the living organism or host that the fungi is feeding upon. Lawn diseases come in many different forms and can attack the grass at any given time of the year. Infection or growth of the fungi occurs when the weather conditions are right for the growth of the fungi. Typically temperature and humidity play a key role in the development of turf grass diseases. When conditions become unfavorable, the fungi becomes dormant, waiting for conditions to become favorable.
There are so many turfgrass diseases they can be hard to identify. Identity can be difficult and how to control the disease just as difficult. Identifying a disease is crucial in attempting how to control the disease. Controlling diseases with use of fungicides is a common practice. The number of lawn fungicides are numerous and identifying the disease is crucial for fungicide applications. There are fungicides that will control a number of various disease, but there is no one fungicide that will control all of them. Typically fungicides must be applied several times and they are expensive. If the wrong fungicide is applied for the wrong disease, it is not productive. Many times fungicides are used as a preventive measure. This is one of the best ways on how to keep the grass plant from contracting the disease.
Maintenance practices are one of the best ways on how to keep lawn disease from becoming a problem. Improper mowing practices can be a contributing factor dull mower blade leaves shredded grass blades that can allow a vector for pathogens. Lawns that are mowed too short can be weakened, allowing diseases to take over. Lawns that are mowed too long can hold moisture creating an environment for diseases to spread.
Watering practices play an important role in how to control diseases. Light, infrequent watering creates a more humid environment around the grass blades, which encourages fungus development. Infrequent deep watering is preferred. Watering in the evening, especially in humid area does not allow the grass blade area to dry out quickly. It is best to water early in the morning thus a quicker time for the grass blade area to dry out.
Fertilization can also play a role in how to help control disease. Certain fungi are favored by high nitrogen rates while others are favored by low nitrogen rates. Fertilization should be applied at a minimum required rate for adequate growth.
There is no simple way of how to keep grass from getting diseases. Proper maintenance and an understanding of how lawn diseases occur it can help go a long way to keep a lawn free of disease.Excessive thatch favor grass diseases. Spores of diseases are produced in large numbers in the thatch layer. Keeping thatch to a minimum helps cut down disease development.

WALTHAM, MA | June 19, 2013
EDC is part of the winning team to receive a two-year, $1 million Fast Track Award from the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences to create and study a tablet-based interactive digital game for middle school history classrooms. The award was announced on the White House Blog.
Mission US is a game series that enables middle school students to take on the roles of young people during pivotal events in U.S. history. The project is a collaboration of game developers Electric Funstuff, producer WNET/Channel Thirteen (NYC public television), and the American Social History Project at CUNY.
The new Fast Track award will support the development of a prototype to bring the popular games to tablets for the first time and will support the creation of "California or Dust!," the fifth new Mission US game that places students in the roles of 14-year-old twins during the Great Depression. EDC's Center for Children and Technology will perform formative research on the tablet version of the game as well as conduct a classroom pilot study examining the game's success in teaching history and literacy and analytic skills.
"Kids and teachers instantly recognize that a role-playing game is a serious way to learn history, and it's fun," said EDC's Bill Tally. "Now more kids in more settings will be able to play the games using tablets, and we'll be examining the effectiveness of this new medium for learning. It's an exciting project, and EDC is pleased to be part of this collaboration."
Designed for use by students in grades 5–9, Mission US games have been played online by approximately 500,000 registered users in all 50 states. The website also includes a comprehensive collection of resources and materials to help educators integrate the game into the curriculum and the scope and sequence of their lesson plans.
A major research study conducted in 2011 examined the use of Mission US by 1,118 seventh- and eighth-grade students in 50 schools across the country. The study found measurable gains in students' historical knowledge and analytical skills, and yielded positive feedback from teachers. A summary of the study's key findings is available at cpb.org/features/missionus.

Out Here: Raising $1M without focusing?
Shortly before 10 a.m. Monday, I received a news release from Congresswoman Cheri Bustos' re-election campaign announcing that she had raised more than $1 million in 2013. I was interested in the news, particularly because the East Moline Democrat has provided little information before about her fundraising efforts.

Friday January 18, 2013
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Reigning NL MVP and batting champion Buster Posey is among four San Francisco Giants to reach agreement on one-year contracts that avoided salary arbitration.
Posey, an All-Star catcher, will earn $8 million this season. Outfielders Hunter Pence and Gregor Blanco and left-hander Jose Mijares also reached agreements, the Giants said Friday.
Pence, who came to the Giants in a trade deadline deal from the Phillies last summer, will earn $13.8 million. Blanco is due $1.35 million, Mijares $1.8 million.
Posey established career highs with a .336 batting average, 24 home runs and 103 RBIs for the World Series champion Giants. He did so only a year after a devastating, season-ending left leg and ankle injury in a May 25, 2011, collision at the plate with the Marlins' Scott Cousins.

Mo. man found not guilty in drifter's kidnapping
Friday, July 20, 2012
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The attorney for an eastern Missouri man acquitted in the kidnapping of an Ohio drifter whose frozen corpse later was found in a tractor-trailer said this week's verdict means his client "can finally put this nightmare behind him."
Jurors in Boone County found Brandon L. Martin, 22, of Laddonia, not guilty Wednesday. He was living with the family of truck driver Chester "C.J." Harvey in December 2009 when 20-year-old James McNeely was killed in the basement of Harvey's home. Harvey, his wife and three of his sons were convicted of participating in the killing.
The Columbia Daily Tribune reported (http://bit.ly/LCeFwg) that because the five Harvey family members avoided public trials by entering pleas in the case, new details about the crime emerged during Martin's trial. Among them, testimony indicated the Harveys were on methamphetamine during three days leading up to McNeely's death.
"This was a difficult case with horrible facts," said Michael Byrne, Martin's attorney. "We are glad that Brandon's name has been cleared and he can finally put this nightmare behind him and get on with his life."
Martin spent 10 months in jail after he was charged.
C.J. Harvey said previously in a series of phone interviews with The Associated Press that he picked up McNeely while driving, and the two became embroiled in a drug scheme because his family had fallen on hard times while caring for a child who required daily dialysis.
Harvey said an alleged attack on his family led to McNeely's death, but he provided no details. According to testimony at Martin's trial, however, McNeely attempted to sexually assault two of Harvey's teenage sons.
C.J. Harvey said he was in Waco, Texas, at the time of the alleged attack. He said he called friends and asked them to take McNeely out of his home while he rushed back.
Investigators said in probable cause statements filed in the case that C.J. Harvey and his eldest son, Chad Harvey, then 19, brought McNeely back to the Harveys' home in Laddonia, a town of about 600 people northwest of St. Louis, and restrained him on a mattress in the basement.
During Martin's trial, C.J. Harvey's wife, Angela, told the jury that Martin at one time watched over McNeely by pointing a gun at him. However, Martin testified that he never held a gun, although he was present in the basement and allowed to come and go as he pleased.
"There was no effort to silence him because he is a part of it," Assistant Attorney General Monty Platz said.
Martin said C.J. Harvey had threatened to kill him and his family if he didn't do as instructed, even placing a gun to his head and ordering him to have sex with Angela Harvey. She said C.J. Harvey suspected she and Martin were having a romantic relationship. Martin refused C.J. Harvey's demand.
C.J. and Chad Harvey previously told authorities that C.J. Harvey suffocated McNeely with a trash bag while Chad Harvey and others wrapped wire around McNeely's throat, according to a probable cause statement. Martin told the jury that when C.J. Harvey entered the basement with a trash bag, he knew what it was for and darted out of the home.
Afterward, C.J. Harvey became paranoid that the Mafia was going to come after the Harvey family, according to testimony at Martin's trial. C.J. Harvey said in the interview with The AP that McNeely claimed his father had Mafia ties.

Botox Cosmetic St. Louis - Injectables Missouri
Do you have lines or furrows across your forehead that make you appear older, tired or angry? Do you have creases around your eyes ("crow's feet) or between your eyebrows? All of these areas can be treated with Botox or Dysport, neuromuscular blocking agents used for the treatment of facial wrinkles.
As we age, lines develop horizontally across our forehead, vertically between our eyebrows and radially around our eyes. These wrinkles form from the contraction of the underlying muscles to the skin above. The neuromuscular agents, Botox and Dysport, act to paralyze these muscles and thus prevent wrinkling. If treatment is begun early, these agents can help to prevent formation of the wrinkles. If treatment is begun after the lines and furrows are well – demarcated, these agents can help to improve their appearance and prevent their deepening. Botox and Dysport are not indicated in the treatment of deep nasolabial folds or lines around the mouth or for lip augmentation. Collagen fillers or dermabrasion are more appropriate treatment for these areas. Click here for more information and consent form.
Dr. Cabbabe incorporates his experience with reconstructive and cosmetic surgery of the face to give his patients the best results possible to meet their desires. He is an expert in cosmetic, reconstructive and minimally invasive facial plastic surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Cabbabe will carefully examine you and will make recommendations in order to help you achieve your desired result.
We believe that patients, their desires, and anatomy are all unique. Dr. Cabbabe believes that the key to a successful surgery is proper planning and discussion with the patient about their goals. Therefore, Dr. Cabbabe evaluates each patient and creates a customized surgical plan for all of his patients to meet their expectations. To schedule a consultation, call us at 314-842-5885 or complete the contact us form.
Prior to your procedure, Dr. Cabbabe will carefully plan the injection areas with you. He will offer a topical anesthetic which takes about 30 minutes to take effect. This can help take the edge off of the injections. After the planned injection sites have been cleaned with alcohol, Dr. Cabbabe will inject the Botox or Dysport into the areas. Common locations for injection include the forehead, glabella (between the eyebrows) and around the eyes. The entire procedure takes less than 5 minutes.
As opposed to many other places where an aesthetician, technician or nurse does the injections, Dr. Cabbabe believes that the injection of these materials is best left to the expertise of a trained plastic surgeon. Therefore, Dr. Cabbabe personally injects all of his patients.
Preparing for Surgery
Dr. Cabbabe will ask that you refrain from taking any aspirin, plavix, Coumadin or any other type of blood thinner.
Dr. Cabbabe will ask that you keep ice on the injection site to decrease the risk of any bruising. He will also ask you not to lie down for a few hours. The agents take 3 – 5 days to see an effect and last from 4- 6 months depending on the quantity injected.

There are aspects of living a healthy lifestyle that are more difficult than others; most notably, there's that whole 'exercise' thing. Running, lifting, jumping, stretching – among the myriad heart-rate hiking habits – are no easy task. Nor are they meant to be. Physical exertion in the name of a better quality of life is a facet of living to which Russel Aldredge is no stranger. Aldridge, the former owner of Deep Ellum Crossfit, is accustomed to seeing people sweat and strain every day to the ultimate betterment of their lifestyle. He's seen lives transformed by hard work and dedication, souls who awake before sunrise to get their workout in so they can be showered and ready before their workday begins.
But not everything about the healthy lifestyle needs to be difficult. Working out is difficult enough, Aldredge and his fiancee Jess Myers decided. Eating healthy shouldn't have to be. So they opened Origin Natural Food.
"We like to say that we're taking the hard out of healthy," says Myers, who along with Aldredge and manager Andrew Key opened Origin last month. "It's not sacrificing the quality or the taste for convenience. And what we've seen here so far is that people are staying here to enjoy the food and enjoy the space – that's really what our vision was: to create a hub where people in any realm of the community can come hang out and meet over healthy food and good coffee."
The coffee bar and healthy food concept that Origin pursues are based on a locally minded, organic and 'natural' perspective, natural in this particular case meaning minimally processed. The food, which is all prepared by Chef Jeff Smith in an off-site kitchen, is packaged as entire meals and can be found in one of several refrigerators near the door. Pesto-stuffed, free-range chicken breast with cauliflower mash and a vegetable medley and a filet of pumpkin-crusted, sustainable wild salmon with braised carrots and grilled asparagus are just examples of the types of dishes that can be had. Meant to be reheated either at home or in the restaurant, the meals, while healthy and responsibly sourced, are also hearty by design.
"We're noticing that people aren't even finishing their whole portions," says Jess. "They're taking some home for later. Really, what we're seeing is that people will stay here and enjoy it then pick up breakfast and lunch for the next day. It just kind of sets them up for the next whole week."
"We're passionate not only about the food, but where it comes from. That's such a huge piece of what we're doing, and it's becoming a huge trend in North Texas," adds Russell. "But the biggest thing is that it tastes good. It's filling and it's real, real food."
But it's not just the food that is getting people through the door at Origin. Nearly half of the restaurant's interior is dedicated to coffee – and what better way to promote activity than getting customers their daily dose of wakeup? Using local roasters (Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters) and armed with a green La Marzocco espresso machine, Origin Coffee Manager and barista Louie Corwin are dedicated to ensuring that people get as much satisfaction from their daily brew or two as they do from the carefully considered cuisine.
"It's cool to kind of see the coffee world and the health world come together," Jess observes. "There aren't too many places that combine those – I feel like they've been kept separate, and we're about bringing those two communities together."
The locally sourced coffee reflects Origin's overall view of whole food, and they make an effort to source their proteins and produce from the nearest responsibly producing provider possible. Their chicken is purchased from Windy Meadow Farms (Campbell, TX), and their eggs from Vital farms, which is a mix of independent producers whose flagship farm is in Austin.
"It's an opportunity to educate the community on not necessarily focusing so much on how many calories are in something, but where their foods coming from, how it's been prepared and what oils it's been prepared with," says Russell.
And in doing so, both through their coffee options and their sourcing approach, Origin strives to bring the community together not just through quality dining, but a common philosophy: a philosophy that by its very nature is meant to lead to a better and more enjoyable quality of life.
"I think it's not only a hub for the community, but a hub for integration for people to get together and really create their goals and their future," says Jess. "We've already seen a couple of those things happening, and that's really amazing to see."
It's a responsible and practical outlook on coffee and food – two aspects of just about everyone's life that can either be overlooked or romanticized. But ultimately, as Jess says, "It really is something that you feel good enough going home and putting on a plate, and pretending you made it for dinner."
It's healthy, it's practical, and – unlike showing up at a crossfit gym at six in the morning – it's easy.

The Daily Comics Review: Thursday Quickies
by Hal Bent
It must be Thursday, so today is all about the QUICKIES! OK, let's fire these up:
Adam@Home by Brian Basset:
Andertoons by Mark Anderson:
Does anyone know many times I've had to explain this to non-Star Trek fans? NO ONE KNEW ABOUT THE INTERNET, SMART PHONES, MINIATURIZATION OF COMPUTERS IN 1967! Gene Roddenberry was a TV producer, not a technology visionary. Star Trek was not about what tech would be in the future, but rather a social commentary hidden in science fiction.
Overboard by Chip Dunham:
Gotta love a good poop joke. Nothing else to add. Just pointing out that some days, you need a good poop joke.
Momma by Mell Lazarus:
Hell, no, Momma. Francis is banging all the ladies!!! He's single, unattached, scoring with the ladies, and no doubt riddled with venereal diseases.
Thanks as always for reading, all! Have a great night...the weekend is right around the corner.

text: Home Culture 'A Change Is Gonna Come': Why Sam Cooke Worried About Singing It He recorded the hit single 50 years ago. By: Arun Rath Posted: Feb. 2 2014 8:51 AM 0 Sam Cooke YouTube screenshot Singer Sam Cooke wrote one of the most profound songs of the 1960s, but it wasn't an easy decision for him, NPR's Arun Rath reports. Rolling Stone now calls "A Change Is Gonna Come" one of the greatest songs of all time, but in 1964 its political message was a risky maneuver. Cooke had worked hard to be accepted as a crossover artist after building a sizable following on the gospel circuit. And the first thing to know about the song, Cooke biographer Peter Guralnick says, is that it's unlike anything the singer had ever recorded. "His first success came with the song 'You Send Me.' I mean, this was his first crossover number under his own name, and it went to No. 1 on the pop charts, which was just unheard of," Guralnick says. "As he evolved as a pop singer, he brought more and more of his gospel background into his music, as well as his social awareness, which was keen. But really, 'A Change Is Gonna Come' was a real departure for him, in the sense that it was undoubtedly the first time that he addressed social problems in a direct and explicit way."

EDITED to add: The Doc Mobile Tour will be stopping at several cities listed in the link below. According to Disney Junior, the Doc McStuffins character is planned to appear at only the NY, D.C., San Antonio and LA events as of now.
Last year I had the privilege of listening to the producers of the highly acclaimed Disney Junior show, Doc McStuffins as they talked about what it was like to create a show that addressed fears about visiting the Doctor, getting shots or going to the Dentist. Since then, I have become a fan of Doc and all the lovable characters on the show. My son is partial to Chilly the Snowman but I can't quite choose a favorite. I am really glad the Doc will be back for a second season (September 6th) and I look forward to seeing what the talented creators have come up with for season two!
Last weekend, Disney Junior introduced Doc McStuffins the character at the D23 Expo in California and she will be heading out to greet young fans at select stops along The Doc Mobile tour route.
Meet Doc McStuffins!
The Doc Mobile Tour will be stopping in select cities where kids can bring their favorite stuffed animal in for a check up. They'll also learn about ways that they can take care of themselves. The 27 foot Airstream trailer was "custom-made to reach young kids (age 2-7) and families with fun and empowering experiences relating to health and nutrition." The event is free unless admission is required to the host location.
Fans are invited to follow The Doc Mobile tour route on Disney Junior's Facebook page and on Twitter at @DisneyJuniorUSA, #DocMobile. All events are scheduled from 10:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted . To see if Doc will be in a city near you, check out this list of Mobile tour stops. A full schedule will be posted on Thursday, August 15, 2013 so stay tuned!
Are your kids excited to meet Doc McStuffins?

Ever wonder how much a company's brand was worth?
Brand valuations are tricky, reflecting as they do not just a company's revenue-generating capability but also its hold on consumers' hearts and minds. How do you put a price on popularity?
No worries, there are companies whose business it is to round up the relevant data and assign values to companies' brands. One such company is Brand Finance, which this week published "Global 500 2014 - The World's Most Valuable Brands."
To compute the value of a company's brand, Brand Finance uses the Royalty Relief method, which purports to establish the price a company would be willing to pay for its brand if it didn't already own it. The calculation factors in a company's revenues, but also includes such harder-to-quantify variables as sustainability and emotional connection.
Overall, Apple's was the most valuable brand, at $104,680 million, followed by Samsung and Google.
Six airlines were included among the top 500, as follows:
- Emirates - 234 ($5,481 million)
- Delta - 286 ($4,736 million)
- American - 298 ($4,563 million)
- Lufthansa - 331 ($4,165 million)
- United - 379 ($3,831 million)
- Singapore - 458 ($3,250 million)
The only other pure travel company on the list was Priceline, which was ranked 178, ahead of all the airlines, with a brand values at $6,950 million.
No hotel or rental-car companies made it onto the list.

Cinesite Delivers Tailored Effects for 'RoboCop'
London -- Cinesite announced that it has completed visual effects for RoboCop, released in the U.K. February 7, and in the U.S. February 12.
A remake of the 1987 original, this is the fourth RoboCop film to be made. Directed by José Padiha for MGM/Columbia Pictures, the film stars Joel Kinnaman in the title role alongside Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton and Samuel Jackson.
In 2028 Detroit, when Alex Murphy (Kinnaman) -- a loving husband, father and good cop -- is critically injured in the line of duty, the multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer.
Cinesite's award of work involved RoboCop's suit, a key aspect of RoboCop's character. Production VFX Producer and Supervisor Dean Wright and James E. Price tasked Cinesite's team, led by Cinesite VFX Supervisor Simon Stanley-Clamp, with adjusting Robocop's silhouette and adding internal mechanics to specific areas. The main areas of the suit which required the addition of mechanics were the shoulders, neck, elbows and knees.
Rather than replacing localized areas of the suit, it was more time and cost-effective to replace it entirely in most instances, creating a CG version closely matched to the original. The first stage in this process involved creating a clean plate by removing the whole suit from the head down. A CG suit was rigged and animated to enhance RoboCop's mechanical gait and robotic movements from the actor's original performance. Having a real suit in the original plate as reference was helpful for texturing and lighting the CG. For a few shots the team also created a damaged version of the suit, complete with dirt and tiny scratches.
"It was a pleasure to work with Dean on RoboCop," says Simon Stanley-Clamp. "We completed a large body of photoreal suit work in a very short amount of time, which in many instances is seen very close up. I think the work stands up well and is a testament to the talents of our team."

China hands over ashes of deceased Kirti monk to family
Thursday, August 09 2012 @ 03:21 pm BST
The Chinese authorities on Tuesday handed over the ashes of the 21-year old Tibetan monk, Lobsang Tsultrum, to the latter's family in Ngaba (Chinese: Aba) county, depriving the deceased a proper cremation according to Buddhist rites and rituals.
Lobsang Tsultrum, a monk at Kirti monastery set himself on fire on Monday (6 August) and died the same day around midnight at a hospital in Barkham (Chinese: Ma'erkang), capital of Ngaba Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province.
"The Chinese authorities cremated the charred body, and returned the ashes Lobsang's family,"Kanyag Tsering, a monk at the India-based Kirti monastery, who has close contact with people in Ngaba said yesterday evening.
"They didn't let the family cremate Lobsang's body, they just returned the ashes after cremating the charred body making the family very sad."
Lobsang Tsultrum set himself on fire on the street below the Kirti monastery known as "Martyrs' Street", named so after a series of self-immolation protests took place there, Kanyag said.
The 21-year old monk had suffered beatings at the hands of the Chinese police during the 2008 uprising that rocked many areas in Tibet, including Ngaba. "Lobsang is fond of playing basketball and he is a member of a local team," Kanyag quoted locals as saying.
He is the classmate of monk Phuntsok, who had succumbed to burn injuries in March 2011 after setting himself on fire demanding for 'freedom in Tibet' and 'return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet'.
According to the same source, Lobsang had shouted slogans for the 'return the Dalai Lama and return of Kirti Rinpoche from exile." Kanyag also said that Lobsang had also demanded the reopening of a school at Kirti monastery which was closed down by the authorities in 2003 after the school refused to teach Chinese language, and add exercise period as part of the school curriculum for the monk-students.
Citing sources in Tibet, Kanyag said Lobsang had left a note before setting himself on fire, but he is unable to retrieve it at the time of reporting this information.
"If the Chinese government has any respect and concern for Tibetan lives, they must address the underlying problems that cause these self-immolation protests," said Tsering Tsomo, the executive director of Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy, adding that "violent crackdown and criminalising the acts of self-immolation protests will not serve China's professed aim in establishing 'harmony' and 'stability' in Tibet."
Lobsang Tsultrum became a monk at the Kirti Monastery since his childhood. He belonged to the family of Tchashang Raru Zadhar Tsang and is survived by his father, Tsewang and mother, Dolker Kyi.
Ngaba has been the nerve centre of the majority of Tibetan self-immolations, where more than two dozens of Tibetans have set themselves on fire since 2009.

Our advantage?
We believe things work better when you work together as a group.
Forget job titles and hierarchies, we think that getting the smartest people together and working collectively to co-create solutions to our briefs, leads to bigger, brighter and ultimately more effective campaigns.

Chinese crested tern (Sterna bernsteini)
|Also known as:
|Chinese crested-tern, Chinese-crested tern, Matsu tern
|Thalasseus bernesteini
|Sterna (1)
|Length: 42 cm (2)
The Chinese crested tern is classified as Critically Endangered (CR) on the IUCN Red List (1) and listed under Appendix I of the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species (CMS) (3).
Previously thought to be possibly extinct, the Chinese crested tern (Sterna bernsteini) was rediscovered in 2000 with a population of just four adult pairs and four chicks (4). This largish, slender bird has a diagnostic black-tipped yellow bill, sometimes with a tiny white spot at the extreme tip (5). Breeding adult Chinese crested terns have a white head and black crested cap (5). The underparts are white and the upperparts are a pale pearl-grey, with blackish outer primary flight feathers (4) (5). The tail is white and deeply forked, and the legs and feet are black. The non-breeding adult is similar, except that the crown is mottled black and white, merging into the black nape. Juvenile Chinese crested terns are a mottled brown colour on the upperparts, with a paler inner part of the wing lining and two dark bars on the inner wing (5).
The Chinese crested tern is poorly understood. It has been recorded in the past on the eastern coast of China, in Hebei, Shandong, Fujian and Guangdong, and outside the breeding season on Halmahera (Indonesia), in Sarawak (Malaysia) and in Taiwan, Thailand and the Philippines. The only recent records are from China in Hebei in 1978 and Shandong in 1991, with a possible record from peninsular Thailand in 1980. The only known current population was found on the Mazu Dao islands off the east coast of mainland China (but under the administration of Taipei) in 2000. The current total numbers are unknown, but are thought to be very small given the rarity of recent records (4).
Although poorly understood, available records indicate that the Chinese crested tern roosts in coastal areas and is otherwise pelagic (4).
Little is known about the biology of the Chinese crested tern. The stomachs of adult specimens were found to contain fish (6) and breeding is thought to occur from May to July, although no definite breeding sites have ever been found (2).
The specific threats facing this exceptionally rare bird have not yet been identified, but a range of environmental issues are known to affect other species within its range, and are therefore highly plausible threats to the Chinese crested tern (4). Offshore islets, which appear to be the key nesting areas of this species, are thought to be relatively safe from human disturbance. However, other coastal wetlands in the Chinese crested tern's presumed breeding range in eastern China have been affected by large-scale development projects (4) (6). Seabirds are also hunted and exploited for food in China. Indeed, the main threat to the newly discovered population on the Mazu Dao islands is from fishermen from mainland China, who visit the nesting islets to collect seashells and bird eggs. Other potential threats include the introduction of rats and cats to currently predator-free offshore islands, oil pollution and contamination of estuarine areas by industrial and agricultural pollutants, and human disturbance (6).
The Mazu Dao islands were declared as the National Matzu Nature Reserve for Terns in 2000, offering some protection to the birds there (4) (6). The most recent sighting of the Chinese crested tern in China was from Huanghe Sanjiaozhou Nature Reserve in Shandong in 1991, and several other protected areas exist along the Chinese coast where this species may occur (4). The Chinese crested tern is nationally protected in China and Thailand, and the area where it was once recorded in Thailand is protected as the Laem Talumphuk Non-Hunting Area (4) (6). Further studies are certainly needed to better understand this species, including its range, what sort of breeding success it is having, the exact threats it faces and its protection needs (7). One suggested measure, which has been successful elsewhere, is to give local people a vested interest in seeing the terns remain alive, perhaps by allowing or encouraging fishermen to take birdwatchers to see the rare seabirds, rather than collecting their eggs (7). Thus, special boat trips have now been made available from Matsu Island to the National Matsu Nature Reserve for Terns during the months of June and July for NT$350 (approx. US$11). Landing on the nesting island is not permitted and viewing is from the boat at a safe distance, so that the terns are not disturbed, but this revenue may help protect the Chinese crested tern by making it more valuable alive than dead (5).

Arrive in Argentina today and transfer independently to your comfortable hotel. Spend your free time exploring the amazing architecture of Buenos Aires, or simply relax after your long international flight. Optional tours today include a walking city tour, cultural city tour, or a dinner tango show. Overnight.
Transfer this morning to the airport to board your flight to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, a must-see Patagonia travel stop. With previous incarnations as a missionary outpost and, subsequently, a prison town, Ushuaia is now most well-known as the "Gateway to Antarctica." From its dramatic setting between the Beagle Channel and the rugged glaciated peaks rising from the landscape, opportunities for hiking and exploring abound. The afternoon is free to wander local museums or explore nearby trails.
This morning you cross the green central valley of Tierra del Fuego to reach Harberton Farm, a private ranch built by the first British missionaries to reach the area. After a short visit board a zodiac and wind through the Beagle Channel to Gable Island, part of the Harberton estate. Enjoy a picnic lunch in an old, rustic shelter before embarking on a 3-hour hike around the island. Your path leads to many amazing vantage points of the Beagle Channel, and if the weather cooperates you might even glimpse the distant town of Puerto Williams across the Chilean border. Returning to the zodiac, you resume your navigation to the penguin rookery on Martillo Island, home to Magellanic and gentoo penguins. The location of the island makes it a birdwatcher's paradise; be on the lookout for petrels, skuas, cormorants, seagulls, and albatross. Depart for Harberton and begin the return trip to Ushuaia.
Just north of Ushuaia is the Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego, Argentina's first coastal national park. The trail system of easy and undemanding paths makes this an ideal place to spend a relaxing day exploring Patagonia. Wander along the coastal path, undoubtedly the most beautiful in the park. The 3 ½ hour hike takes you through forests of both high and low deciduous beech, evergreen beech, winterbark, firebrush, and more. Finish the walk at Lake Roca in time for lunch. After eating your fill, climb into inflatable canoes and begin the easy downstream paddle to the Ovando River. The crystal-clear water runs into Laguna Verde, one of the most picturesque, panoramic spots in the park. Your take-out point is Lapataia Bay, where you may see petrels, albatross, steamer ducks, and on occasion, penguins. Return to Ushuaia for dinner and a final night there.
Today you fly to the lively town of El Calafate. Head to the working sheep ranch of El Galpon del Glaciar (formerly known as the "Estancia Alice"). The lodge is warm and welcoming with delicious homemade food, located just 15 minutes from downtown El Calafate. The homestead covers an area of Patagonian Steppe - a unique ecosystem of rivers, lakes and lagoons. While at the homestead visit the nature reserve and enjoy its many trails - over 40 species of migrating birds pass through here so keep turning your eyes skyward! The homestead is also a working ranch and you have the opportunity to tour the shearing sheds and watch the working sheepdogs in action. For those who want to explore by horseback this is also an option.
Today you drive into Parque Nacional Los Glaciares for views of the stunning Perito Moreno Glacier. This huge advancing glacier is more than 3 miles wide at its front and over 20 stories high. Take a boat across Lago Argentino and pass the massive front wall of blue ice, all the while watching for icebergs. After landing on a small beach start hiking through the beech forest to the icepack of the glacier and have the opportunity to walk on the glacier with crampons. (This Glacier trek has a minimum age of 12 and a maximum age of 65. Alternate excursions are available for those under 12 or over 65 years of age.) Eat your lunch sitting on the lateral moraine of the glacier, where you can absorb the magnificence of the glacier's anatomy and listen to its thunderous concerto of groaning and cracking ice dropping into the lake below.
Catch your flight to Buenos Aires and connecting flights homeward, or with more time, cross into Chile to visit Torres del Paine, travel to the coast to the Peninsula Valdes, or head north to Iguazu Falls.
