This looks like the perfect place for a cocktail party or sleepover. . .
All kinds of awesome.
Museum exhibits are wonderful, but what I absolutely adore are the collections kept under wraps. Give me a room lined with file drawers filled with carefully labeled pot shards and I'm in heaven. That's why I love this photo, taken in the Hippo Room (!!) in the Mammalogy Department of the American Museum of Natural History, by reader Mindy Weisberger, who works with the museum's Exhibitions Department. She says:
These are male and female hippo skulls from all over Africa, each weighing an average of about 200lbs. These and other large animal skulls were obtained by museum expeditions up until the 1950s/1960s, with the objective of building a collection that represented a range of morphological differences (based on sex and varying environmental conditions) and developmental stages. While the collections are not open to the public, they are utilized daily by the museum's own research associates and curatorial staff, and by visiting scientists from around the world.
Museums keep research collections like this tucked away in attics, basements and back rooms. In these quiet, little sanctuaries, touching is allowed. Getting access (albeit limited) to the collections at the University of Kansas' anthropology museum was one of the high points of my undergraduate experience. Mindy says the AMNH even has a few secret corridors where it stashes treasures. Great stuff!
Check out Mindy's entire set of photos from the hippo room.
In many states in America, legislatures have erected punitive, vindictive barriers for women seeking contraception, requiring them to get prescriptions for safe, widely taken medications.
Designer Art Donovan writes, "I'm always looking for new and unique inspiration for my lighting commissions and the latest, cutting edge scientific devices offer a boatload of great design inspiration. From the cool, new 'James Webb Space Telescope' to the myriad of complex details in the L.H.P.C. at Cern- it's a cornucopia of rich imagery."
In 2009, President Obama pledged to "restore science to its rightful place." He said, "We will not just meet, but we will exceed the level achieved at the height of the space race, through policies that invest in basic and applied research, create new incentives for private innovation, promote breakthroughs in energy and medicine, and […]

This looks like the perfect place for a cocktail party or sleepover. . .
All kinds of awesome.
Concern troll. Images like that worry me. No restraints on the front of the shelves to prevent items from falling in the event of an earthquake. I know they aren't on the west coast, but sitll. You can't replace many collections.
We do not have the same eyes.
I keep seeing the dancing hippos from fantasia. Then the skulls. Then the dancing hippos. A rather grotesque tableaux, and a statement on the transient nature of life.
A place for playing hungry hungry hippos.
I love these photos, as well, but they cry out for something in the frame (like a human hand, or human being) to give these enormous skulls a sense of scale. "200lbs" starts to give us some perspective, but a visual reference would help.
A quick google suggests that hippo skulls are typically around two and a half feet long (I'd have taken long odds this morning on learning that factoid today). I find it difficult to believe that they weigh more than the average American male, though.
Visit the La Brea Tar Pits. They have several halls lined with skulls from now extinct wolves I think. Hundreds or thousands.
There is also free tar leaking out of the ground. Also gases bubbling through molasses like tar, leading to slo-mo bubble formation and breaking.
I'll let you decide what pharmaceuticals if any are appropriate.
Interesting, hope they died in normal conditions not murdered.
These photos made the biogeek in me happy!
Some fun facts about hippos:
– They can run up to 35 mph on land. (That's about the speed of a racehorse!)
– They can open their mouths 180 degrees–which is part of the males' territorial display of his razor-sharp tusks. They are exceedingly territorial, and although herbivorous, they kill more people in Africa than any other animal besides man (and according to some reports, cape buffalo).
– They don't actually swim–they sink and push themselves off the bottom of the river or lake bed, bouncing along underwater like an astronaut on the moon.
– Their skin produces an excretion called "blood sweat," which is actually neither. It's a reddish, oily substance that scientists are studying for possible antibiotic properties.
– With their heads partially submerged, hippo ears can hear both above and below the surface of the water simultaneously.
– The thick pads on the bottom of hippos' feet allow them to move on land in near silence, even when running.
That's right, folks. Hippos are like the Chuck Norris of semi-aquatic mammals.
Gawd, I love hippos…..and rhinos. Really, any of the O's
If you like the idea of this sort of thing, then "Dry Store Room No.1" by Prof Richard Fortey will be right up your street too.
Reminds me of the time I was running 10b5 etherhose through one of the ANSP's collection rooms and found a dust covered, unlabeled, hermetically sealed box containing a preserved hippo stomach. You never know what you'll find in an old museum… the mammalogists were so pleased, "we've been looking for this for ages!!"

Things to Know When Renting a Party Bus
There are some things that are of priority in which you should know before hiring a party bus. The three important things you should ask before renting a party bus. 1. The first thing you should do is to ask how much does the entire trip cost, and if there are any extra fees that needs to be paid for. There are some companies that lets you rent party buses, in which they give you a base rate only, which means the only things that are included are the tax and the party bus rental price. A party bus always has a specific driver in which they will drive the bus the whole trip and provide extra services.
Drivers are usually tipped 20 percent of the base rate of the rent prior to taxes, this is a standard for the service industry. There are some party bus companies that usually lets you pay for this amount before renting the whole bus. 2. Never forget to inquire if the party bus company that you want to rent has a proper license to operate and make sure that their company is insured. Never rent a party bus from a party bus company without asking them about the legitimacy and the licensing of their company, this is for the safety and betterment of your group. The business industry always has those bad companies in which they do not opt to get the proper insurance, licenses and inspections for their day to day operations.
When asking a company about these types of information, and they cause some issues or even do not share the information with you, it is best not to trust the company and go for another option instead. If anything happens to the party bus that you rented from these companies, you could be faced with damages and liabilities because the company does not have the insurance and licenses to protect you.
3. Always remember to ask if the party bus allows alcohol inside, that's if you are of legal age to drink of course. There are some areas in which they have ordinances or laws that prohibit alcoholic drinks aboard party buses. Most clients and consumers assume and think that alcoholic drinks are permitted and allowed inside a party bus, and it is legal, but this is not always the case, it is always recommended to ask before even renting a party bus. To avoid any unforeseen circumstances when aboard the party bus for the entire duration of the trip, it is always a good idea to ask questions to the party bus company about these certain things, so you can be aware of the things that may happen just in case.

Statistical projections for 2012 Angels
Is Mike Trout really the best player on the Angels, already? Will Kendrys Morales be any good when he comes back, and will Jerome Williams defy logic for a second consecutive season?
ZiPS, a baseball projection system devised by sabermetrician Dan Szymborski, has some thoughts on these questions. His Angels projections just came out, giving us a glimpse at the team the Angels will field in 2012. Click through the photos to see ZiPS' answers to those questions above.
Projections are, obviously, just a guide, a bit of educated guesswork based on objective data. ZiPS uses the weighted averages of each player's previous season and adjusts for the aging trends of similar players. It's one of the most respected projection systems around, even if it is limited by baseball's maddening unpredictability.

Battlefield 4 is one of the most anticipated games of the season, and now, we know what sort of system you'll need to run it. The official Battlefield Twitter has posted the PC system requirements.
The biggest changes from BF3's requirements are in the memory and storage departments. You need at least of 2GB of RAM and 20GB of storage to play BF3, but 4GB of memory and 30GB of storage are required by its successor. Keep in mind that those are the bare minimums. EA's recommended spec calls for 8GB of system memory, doubling the memory recommendation attached to BF3.
Interestingly, the minimum CPU and graphics requirements really haven't changed. BF4 calls for a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 2.8GHz Athlon X2, or better. On the graphics front, you'll need at least a Radeon HD 3870 or a GeForce 8800 GT with 512MB of onboard memory. The recommended specs have been tweaked, though. EA now suggests six-core AMD processors instead of quad-core ones. (The quad-core Intel rec is unchanged.) It also recommends newer Radeon HD 7870 or GeForce GTX 660 graphics cards, both of which are mid-range offerings priced around the $200 mark. Oddly, the specs go on to recommend 3GB of graphics memory. Only a handful of GeForce GTX 660s are available with 3GB of RAM, and I can't find any Radeon HD 7870s with more than 2GB.
Battlefield 4 is due on October 29, so there's plenty of time to upgrade in preparation for its arrival. Based on the specs changes, it seems like the latest chapter in the franchise will use higher-quality art assets than its predecessor, which already has great graphics. I can't wait to see what BF4 looks like with all the eye candy turned up—and without the compression artifacts that plague YouTube trailers.

EU vote not a shock, says NFU leader
The UK's decision to vote to leave the EU was not a shock, according to the chairman of the NFU in Cumbria.
David Raine, who farms near Kirkoswald, says the agricultural industry in the county was very divided on the issue. He points to issues such as frustration with EU bureaucracy and a desire to take back control as being factors leading many farmers to vote to leave.
But speaking to ITV Border he said it would now pose "significant challenges" for the industry.

That is kind of where I am at too Blu. Something just doesn't seem quite right to me about this.
Alcohol is a huge industry in this nation and I can support the right of individuals to consume these beverages even though I don't drink a drop. I realized that alcohol was a huge part of OSU games from the first time I attended one as a teen back in the 80's. It bothered me the most at the 99 Purdue game where I had to endure an inebriated fan hurling drunken obscenities at Drew Brees for the entire game. His right to consume alcohol should not have infringed on my right to enjoy the game with my wife without having to put up with such an idiot, especially when I was there supporting a mediocre team that year in the pouring rain.
I am sure that most drinking will still occur at pre and post game festivities. But my guess is that a lot of people are not going to think twice about throwing $9 at beer, especially on those occasions where the Bucks are tanking. Can you imagine how much beer people would have bought at last year's MSU debacle? That was ugly enough without the prospect of more booze flowing during the game.
Sorry but it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

One of the biggest recurring themes at this year's DattoCon event was ransomware, the insidious malware that encrypts your customers' files and asks them to pay hefty fees – to cybercriminals – to get their data back! George Anderson, product marketing director at Webroot shared some sobering stats and insights on the negative impacts of ransomware.
An MSP turns a medical practice's BDR (backup and disaster recovery) failure into a $1,500-a-month managed services deal.
How does your line card compare with that of your peers? More importantly, where are the highest margins and most revenue?
This solutions provider's expertise and business acumen enable it to respond quickly to market trends and customer demands and expect year-over-year double-digit revenue growth.
The move to cloud-based computing is disrupting a familiar and lucrative business model for managed service providers (MSPs) and value added resellers (VARS) who have built their businesses on implementing and managing computing infrastructure for customers with traditional on-premises data centers – services now in dwindling demand. How do MSPs and VARs maintain revenue and relevance as customers increasingly go directly to cloud service providers for management of their cloud-based compute resources?
An insufficient disaster recovery plan is much like a lack of blood flow to the brain. If a disaster strikes, the damage to your organization can be difficult, if not impossible to overcome. Consider the cost you might incur if lightning struck and took down your primary business server. Would your patients' medical records and other healthcare-related data be recoverable? How long would it take for your organization to be back up and running?
I'm fortunate to work with hundreds of MSP's through our HTG Peer Groups each quarter, both here in North America as well as Europe and Australia/New Zealand. Not only do we facilitate two-day interactions with these great leaders, but we benchmark their financials and have them follow a rigorous framework of planning, goal setting and accountability.
Over the span of just a few years, flash storage has become increasingly useful and, as a result, increasingly popular among businesses. This is in part driven by the influx of Big Data into organizations as companies try their best to analyze it and discover valuable insights. It's gotten to the point where the traditional hard disk drives in use for decades are quickly being replaced in many instances with the much faster solid-state drives.
As a full service manages service provider (MSP), one of our goals is to turn our clients' networks into the black boxes they expect them to be. But with that comes the responsibility of assuring them all the bases are covered, especially when it relates to backup. With that in mind, there are three reasons you should offer every client a comprehensive data backup and BDR solution...
In this case study featuring ETC TechSolutions, you'll learn how ETC circumvented Cryptowall with zero downtime and no lost data for a manufacturing firm and how StorageCraft made the whole process simple.
Lawrence Reiber, co-founder and president of Tanda Technologies, describes how StorageCraft allowed Tanda Technologies to fully and quickly recover a client following a devastating fire and flood.
Sometimes the toughest thing about backup and recovery isn't the planning and setup. It's finding the right vendor to provide it. Learn how StorageCraft helped Total Computer Solutions deliver a custom DR offering to its clients that met their needs and budget and did so at a substantial profit.

Backup & disaster recovery (BDR) includes cloud backup, hybrid storage, recovery software, local storage, managed services, and more.
A backup is a copy or archive of computer data that can be used to restore the original data if lost. Backups are also used to restore data from an earlier time. They are a simple form of disaster recovery and should be a part of a disaster recovery plan however; a disaster recovery plan should never be just backups alone. Backups can often require significant amounts of data storage space and can be complicated to maintain and organize. Many different methods have been developed to optimize backup procedures, including ways to deal with open files, live data, encryption, compression, and de-duplication. Backup solutions should also include dry runs in order to verify the reliability of the data in the backup.
Disaster recovery is a set of rules, policies, processes, and procedures that organizations set up and follow in order to maintain a running technical infrastructure in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. A subset of business continuity, disaster recovery deals specifically with the IT or technological systems of a business.
Many companies choose managed backup & disaster recovery services, where a vendor provides automatic backups or backup services via on-premise hardware and/or cloud storage along with the necessary software and support.
Common strategies for data protection include backups made to tape and sent off-site, backups made to disk on-site and copied or made directly to disks off-site, data replication to off-site locations, hybrid cloud solutions that replicate data to on-site appliances and off-site data centers, and high availability systems which replicate data and systems off-site and enable continuous access even after a disaster.
MAX Backup™ - fast, reliable, automatic, offsite, secure backup and disaster recovery to make your life easier! No more worrying about on-premised backup failure, or someone missing a crucial tape backup. The days of lost customer data are gone!

Mark Feuerstein: A Mighty Heart
The Star of Hit Series Royal Pains Reveals the Medical Crisis That Almost Took His Baby Girl's Life
But it wasn't. At six months, Addie was diagnosed with ALCAPA, a rare and potentially fatal heart defect (see box). "I've never been more aware of how little I know playing a doctor," says Feuerstein, 39, "than I did learning about this." When Klein, 36, took Addie to a cardiologist last March, the baby was rushed immediately to Children's Hospital Los Angeles, where she stayed for three months. "To see your child sweating, yet lying still, because her heart is working overtime, you can imagine the feeling of helplessness," says Feuerstein with a shudder.
After an initial operation confirmed the defect, Addie was kept in the ICU to monitor whether her heart muscle would recover. Klein visited her daily, while Feuerstein, shooting Royal Pains in New York, flew home on weekends. Family and friends sent over food; their older kids Lila, 4, and Frisco, 2, prayed and donated blood and platelets for Addie's surgeries. "When you get past the horror of what's going on," says Feuerstein, "you see all the people coming together for us."
By mid-May, "Addie had been on medications for so long, she was just delirious," Klein says. "She cried for 12 hours straight." The next day, surgeon Vaughn Starnes went in to repair Addie's mitral valve. Right before, "I remember climbing onto the gurney," Klein says, "and saying to her, 'You're so strong. You can do this.'" The couple, meanwhile, found solace in their own strong bond. "You absorb as much of the other's energy as you can," Feuerstein says, "because there's no place for ego anymore."
The surgery was a success, and Addie was finally able to go home in June. Now 16 months old, she's "back on the growth chart," says Klein. Adds Feuerstein: "She fought the whole way. What obstacle in life will be hard for her? 'I failed a pop quiz? Too bad! I had a heart defect!' Nothing can touch her now."

About the StoryThe people had always gathered on moonless nights to hear the stories, since the time of their ancestors' ancestors. The heat of the fire and the glow in the storyteller's eyes made the past present, and the path to the future clear. The power in the telling was immense, subtle, divine. What man would dare subvert it?

Editorial Reviews
You're a prominent member of a shepherd tribe in the ancient times. Every full moon, everyone gathers to hear a tale of even more ancient times. Only, tonight the telling will change the fate of the tribe, and it's up to you to get it right. The tension, virtually inexistent at first, builds up in perfect gradation. You can't miss the climax, it's obvious.

There are two problems though. The first is an unfortunate design decision: A title that allows the reader to get through the story by typing "wait" is taking a great gamble. The author better make sure the reader has good reasons to care for and understand what is going on. (I got to the storytelling part in about seven turns and waited, skimming, skipping through all of it, lacking a real motivation to actually do something.) The good news is that when (and if) you actually reach the end in this fashion, you will learn that you basically failed because you did not learn how to shape the story. In addition, you are given a nice recap of the background and what happened; a part of this would be so much needed at the beginning to get the player hooked.
The second problem is at the beginning when you choose your occupation and the identity of your companion. Unfortunately, the method used to give the player the option to decide is ill-chosen. [Details with a minor spoiler:] (Spoiler - click to show)You are told there is a "symbol" of your occupation. When you refer to it, you get a library disambiguation message between a medicine bag and a dagger (which had not been mentioned). The same problem appears soon after, when you are introduced to two main characters, one of them being your "love". For a player who does not know she is effectively defining the main character, this creates confusion, especially in what will often be the first turns.
Don't get discouraged by the first impression. This is a deep, meaningful game. You might still find yourself not drawn into the story the first time through, but by the time it ends, you will probably want to give it a second try.
Related reviews: aaron a. reed, fantasy
Don't play it if: you have trouble with puzzles that depend on intuition rather than pure logic, for it is as often as not by intuition that you progress through the story.
There are two reasons I love this story.
The first is intuition. The "puzzle" of the game, if it can be truly called a puzzle, is one of persuasion: to win the people of your tribe over to your way of thinking by directing the flow of a story. The player does this primarily by interacting with emphasized terms in the telling. Where intuition comes in is that you have no control over precisely what to do with each term; it is on the basis of each word's context in the story that you must decide how to interact.
This means that, to perhaps the greatest degree possible in IF, this is a game about language, a game which emphasizes reading comprehension over puzzle-solving. Not only is this fairly unusual for the genre, it is excellently done - the player can deduce important lessons even from minor details in the telling.
The second is the story itself. The storyteller narrates the first half of the Epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest written epic in recorded history and a myth which still resonates with and influences modern literature. The choice of story is perfectly suited to this work, for the Epic is primarily about fear - in particular, fear of death, and fear of the unknown - and the search for immortality, whether through glory or through the love and friendship of others. These are powerful themes that the framing narrative explores, taking place on the eve of tribal war.
Whom the Telling Changed is itself an allegory of the Gilgamesh story, and in adding another fundamental theme - the power of legend and narrative - Aaron A. Reed succeeds in crafting a myth of his own. This is fantasy from an older and darker time, from a world where life was brief and difficult. For many people in those times, the only spiritual and moral comfort to be offered came from the telling and understanding of old stories - as Reed understood when he tapped into that primordial image of a troubled tribe gathered in darkness around a warm campfire.
There are but a few other notes I have on this work. There are one or two glitches to be ironed out - I only ran into one of them, though, which given the game's NPC interactions is a pleasant surprise. Also, while in general I'm no fan of sequels, there is another chapter to the Gilgamesh myth...perhaps there is another story be told.
I did, however, have some quibbles with the setup and mechanics. It isn't clear when you select the tools of your trade and the identity of your lover that this will affect your character; a few words of explanation would have cleared it up entirely. I do like the gender-neutrality of your character and choice of gender in your lover. Sometimes turning the story or audience to your side was effectively challenging, but other times it was just cryptic and frustrating. It isn't always clear when you pick a word what exactly you are going to have to say about it, and there were many moments of "Wait, that wasn't what I wanted my character to say at all!", and only repeated playthroughs will help that. In some playthroughs I was scolded for not participating despite having commented on many words; again, just a little more introduction or assistance would give you a better motivation to participate more rather than just sitting in silent agreement when other characters make comments you like and there isn't anything obvious you want to comment on.

Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) has won the first battle in the war among the shipbuilders to obtain orders for vessels to participate in the Russian Arctic 'Yamal Project' by getting the world's first order for an icebreaking LNG carrier, reports BusinessKorea.
The South Korean shipbuilder informed BusinessKorea that it received the order worth US$367.4 million from Russia's state-run shipper Sovcomflot, and will deliver the vessel by the end of June 2016.
The 170,000 m³-level carrier will be used in developing a gas field in the Yamal Peninsula, western Siberia, by Yamal LNG Co., a joint venture between Russian gas company Novatech, French Total, and Chinese CNPC.
The vessel is the first of 16 icebreaking LNG carriers orders worth US$4.8 billion in total, which DSME has been contracted to build for the Yamal gas project.

Ed Andrieski, Associated Press
CHICAGO — A federal judge has potentially opened a new market to gun dealers after ruling as unconstitutional Chicago ordinances that aim to reduce gun violence by banning their sale within the city's limits.
U.S. District Judge Edmond E. Chang said Monday that while the government has a duty to protect its citizens, it's also obligated to protect constitutional rights, including the right to keep and bear arms for self-defense. However, Chang said he would temporarily stay the effects of his ruling, meaning the ordinances can stand while the city decides whether to appeal.
The decision is just the latest to attack what were some of the toughest gun-control laws in the nation. In 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Chicago's long-standing gun ban. And last year, Illinois legislators were forced by a federal appeals court to adopt a law allowing residents to carry concealed weapons; it was the only state that still banned the practice. The resulting law largely stripped officials in the city and surrounding Cook County of their authority to regulate guns, which especially irked officials in Chicago, where residents had to apply for concealed-carry permits through the police superintendent.
National Rifle Association lobbyist Todd Vandermyde applauded Chang's decision, saying it "shows how out of step and outrageous Chicago's ordinances really are."
Roderick Drew, a spokesman for Chicago's law department, said Mayor Rahm Emanuel disagrees with Chang's ruling and has instructed the city's lawyer to consider options to regulate gun sales.
"Every year Chicago police recover more illegal guns than officers in any city in the country, a factor of lax federal laws as well as lax laws in Illinois and surrounding states related to straw purchasing and the transfer of guns," Drew said. "We need stronger gun safety laws, not increased access to firearms within the city."
Chang's ruling came in a lawsuit filed by the Illinois Association of Firearms Retailers and three Chicago residents. The judge noted Chicago's ban covers not only federally licensed firearms dealers, but also gifts among family members, all in the name of reducing gun violence.
In his 35-page opinion, Chang said he understood Chicago enacted the gun sale ban to safeguard its residents.
"That is one of the fundamental duties of government: to protect its citizens," he wrote. "But on the other side of this case is another feature of government: certain fundamental rights are protected by the Constitution, put outside government's reach, including the right to keep and bear arms for self-defense under the Second Amendment."
Chicago last year had more homicides than any city in the nation. City officials have long acknowledged the ban on gun sales has been weakened due to the legal sale of guns in some surrounding suburbs and states.
Chicago gun collector Kenneth Pacholski, one of the plaintiffs, said he has no interest in selling guns and buys only antique guns that he intends to keep. But he said Chicago's ban was unreasonable.
"All the people I know who own guns legally are really careful," said Pacholski, whose wife, also was a plaintiff. "I'm a collector; my guns are not going anywhere unless I know where they're going because I don't want to be responsible for someone's death."
Illinois Council Against Hand Gun Violence campaign coordinator Mark Walsh said he wasn't surprised by the ruling.
"I'm not sure what the city's plan is (following the ruling), but I think obviously there is a need to make sure gun dealers coming into the city are aware of those who have restrictions on gun ownership and don't sell to them," he said.
Chicago still has a ban on assault weapons.
