The Mongols would have probably conquered those other empires easily. They were bonified badasses led by Ghengis Khan
Ghengis Khan would still be alive today if he hadn't had that horse land on him which instead of killing him made him sick for like a year before he died
Then you are a moron
At age 9 he took over his fathers small tribe and everyone abandoned him, and with 1 horse, he claimed back all of the tribes people who had respected his father by stealing back all of his horses that were stolen by a rival tribe, by himself with one other kid who basically just showed him where to go, against a whole bunch of angry barbarians and got all of them back.
And from ruling that tiny tribe at age 9, by the end of his life he own half of the entire world through pure brutal asskickings and fucking lots of women
Do you know how many women Ghengis Khan had sex with?
I forget the percentages, but I know that a ridiculous amount of asian males can trace their liniage directly in some way to him
Yeah I know, I've heard that. So Genghis Khan was the better pimp, but I was talking badass strictly in so-called "fighting the man". Genghis Khan kind of just took out a bunch of already weakened pussy countries. I mean, it was obviously still an amazing feat, but Mithridates had to take on Rome at the height of its power
Ghengis Khan took on China and was just starting to move into eastern Europe when he died, He could have crushed anyone there
Ghengis Khan's original name was Temujin, which isn't really bad-ass at all. Just thought I'd add.
best pizza toppings anyone?
in my opinion......
1. plain cheese and tomato
2. ham and pinapple
3. pepperoni
Who gives a fuck what it means in english, it's not an english name
And you also have to consider it belonged to Ghengis Khan
Looks pretty bad-ass, doesn't he?
A better representation:
His skin was much more leathery and weather beaten, and besides, that's him without his armor and painted in the old days, In those days anything they painted in asia looked non-threatening, they could have painted the incredible hulk and he would have looked like a bunny rabbit
He took over most of the world, had a horse land on him and it took a year to kill him, and had his empire lasted a century after his death, something that didnt happen with those other loser conquerers. That's just the begining of his power
What about Attila the Hun?

As the years progress I've noticed that there's more and more jelly beans appearing based on pre-existing hard candies. These Jolly Rancher Jelly Beans are one of the first I ever noticed, so I figured it was only fair I give them a try. I did have them as a part of a major jelly bean round-up sale last year for CandyAddict, but since I'm at my one blog now, these needed a revisit.
I guess now is a good time to mention again that I'm really not a fan of Jolly Ranchers. I reviewed the original candies here earlier, and I just can't understand how anyone likes them with their overly fake and punchy flavors.
The jelly beans are pretty faithful to the original hard candies, unlike the other Jolly Rancher Smoothie blend jelly beans that you can also find this time of year. I found those dreadful and am not going to bother eating them again. You gotta pick your poison sometimes.
The beans are not that festively colored since they're made to look like the originals. They colors are very dark and opaque.
Blue Raspberry: Very intense in flavor with strong floral, fruity, and bubble gum flavors that read as "berry" to our taste buds. There's also a hint of fruit punch thrown in there too, which was a pleasant twist. It's a horribly fake flavor, but I find it's not as bad as the original hard candy.
Strawberry (red): This is surprisingly sweet with strong flavors of cotton candy and fruit. It's slightly tart at the end, which is a bit jarring, but these are Jolly Ranchers, after all.
Orange: The flavor is exactly orange soda. Syrupy sweet with a hint of zest. It really got the saliva going in my mouth.
Apple (green): Very juicy with strong flavors of apple juice and pears. Oddly, this one is more sweet than tart.
Grape: If I closed my eyes and ignored the texture in my mouth, I'd call this the grape Tootsie Pop. It's tart (see a trend here?) with a fake grape flavor similar to grape soda.
Watermelon (pink): The taste of this one is surprisingly mild, yet very sweet with a fake cantaloupe flavor that's very perfumey. It's not sour or tart at all like the normal Jolly Rancher, which I find a pleasant surprise.
They're a nice set of jelly beans, especially if you're a fan of Jolly Ranchers. However, I really don't see myself picking these up again, as I I'm not a big fan of the candy in general and there's other jelly beans on the market that I'd rather go for if I felt the need for something different.

Members of the Arkansas House have ousted Darrin Williams of Little Rock as speaker-designate, failing to give him the 51 votes necessary to keep the job.
Republicans hold a 51-48-1 edge over Democrats and the Green Party after winning control of the chamber for the first time since Reconstruction.
Williams defeated Republican Rep. Terry Rice of Waldron for the speaker's post last spring, when Democrats controlled the lower chamber. Rice is being considered for the leadership post again, but Democrats say they would prefer GOP Rep. Davy Carter of Cabot.
Williams made an impassioned plea to colleagues who attended Thursday's organizational meeting. He said he is "much more than a party label" and that representatives shouldn't split along party lines. He would have been Arkansas' first black house speaker.

Rocket Engine, Combustion Chamber, V-2
With a nominal thrust of 25 metric tons (56,000 lb.), the German V-2 motor was the world's first large liquid-fuel rocket engine. It powered the V-2 ballistic missile launched against Britain and Belgium in 1944-45. A team led by Dr. Walter Thiel designed and tested this engine between 1937 and 1941. Both the motor and the missile were influential on the postwar development of rocket technology in the United States and the Soviet Union.
The combustion chamber was the engine's heart, as it was here that the propellants-liquid oxygen and water alcohol-came together and burned at a temperature of about 2700 C (4900 F). Eighteen injectors on top sprayed the propellants into the chamber. The U.S. Army probably captured this artifact at Mittelwerk factory north central Germany in spring 1945, but it eventually came to the Smithsonian as a transfer from the U.S. Air Force.

Have a question for Elementary & Early Childhood Education? Contact us.
Dr. Christine A. Hunt, Chair firstname.lastname@example.com
(716) 375-2315
Plassmann Hall Room B12
St. Bonaventure University
St. Bonaventure, NY 14778
The undergraduate major in elementary education helps students develop knowledge and skills necessary for effective teaching in today's elementary schools. Students are prepared for teaching in a way that is reflective of Franciscan service to others - an ideal that is central to the mission of St. Bonaventure University. Students who major in elementary and early childhood education prepare for New York teacher certification in Childhood Education (grades 1–6) with dual certification in Early Childhood Education (birth-grade 2).
Graduates from our programs can be found in school districts all over the country, and should you want to teach outside of New York, our Certification Office will give you advice about obtaining certificates in other states.
Teachers are best prepared when they learn how to teach in real classrooms, so our program involves students in extensive field experiences beginning in freshman year. While you develop knowledge about teaching, you will spend a significant amount of time interning and teaching in actual classrooms. As a student seeking early childhood certification, you will work not only in elementary classrooms, but in a variety of child care and preschool settings.
Within a curriculum focusing on developmental learning theories, pedagogy, principles of classroom management, and sound educational research, SBU education majors are encouraged to be active participants as they create their own knowledge and develop as teachers.
For the two semesters before student teaching, you will be involved in a Professional Development School program where you and about 15 other SBU students (along with two faculty members) spend two days a week at a local elementary school. During those two semesters, you will develop the skills needed to create supportive learning environments for children.
You will learn to adapt curriculum so that you can meet the learning and developmental needs of all children. By the end of your four-year program, you will be ready to work with young children, constructing learning opportunities to meet their intellectual, social, emotional and physical needs. You will be a caring, professional educator.
Parents of 2014 graduates praise preparation, cost-effectiveness of a St. Bonaventure Education:
My basic philosophy of teaching is based on two firmly held beliefs.

ZF-9743: Add Support for typeKey of Property
Current the headMeta helper only supports three typeKeys (name, http-equiv and charset) but it should include for a typeKey of property for the new facebook OpenGraph api (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph).
See Attached Patch
This is becoming more and more important as web developers try to get better integration with social networks, so please could you push this up the priority order.
I agree with autor - thing is important enough to implement it
Improved patch attached which includes unit tests, documentation, and adds full functionality similar to the 'meta' and 'http-equiv' meta tag properties -- i.e. it is possible to do $this->headMeta()->setProperty('og:title', 'foo')
Applied to trunk in r23610, merged to 1.11 release branch in 23611.
I have test this patch and found that it requires setting XHTML1_RDFA doctype or using my own custom doctupe with "rdfa" string present on it. So if I use any other doctype, i can't set no Open Graph meta tags in document.
Official protocol specification www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-in-html/" rel="nofollow">http://ogp.me/] says nothing about doctype.
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/] don't use RDFa doctype [http://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2011/01/3/5746644/] don't use RDFa doctype
RDF documentation says that doctupe MAY be used instead of requisition.
{quote} Documents written using the markup language defined in this specification can be validated using the DTD defined in Appendix B. If a document author wants to facilitate such validation, they may include the following declaration at the top of their document:
ofollow" href="www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-rdfa-2.dtd">www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-rdfa-2.dtd"> {/quote}
This paragraph may be found also in [HTML 4.01 RDFa specification
So I must use custom doctype with "rdfa" string inside instead of predefined constant.
I propose to remove doctype testing
@mayhem, I understand your concern. But, since "property" is not a supported attribute in non-RDFa Doctypes, using headMeta() to generate OGP meta tags without an RDFa doctype causes the document to fail validation. This seems wrong to me - to default to allowing the generation of HTML that won't validate. Just because other sites don't validate doesn't mean that is the correct way to do it.
There are a lot of "watchers" on this ticket - anyone else care to comment?
nobody cares? ok, you convinced me to use XHTML_RDFA doctupe :)
I still think things are off with the requirement of RDFa, and the validate function fails even if I do add the rdfa into the doctype declaration. My pages that have the following doctype:
ofollow" href="www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-rdfa-2.dtd">www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-rdfa-2.dtd">
Still fail to pass:
// <meta property= ... /> is only supported with doctype RDFa
if (!$this->view->doctype()->isRdfa()
&& $item->type === 'property') {
return false;
If I comment out the return false the page loads fine with the correct og tags and the facebook share and like load perfectly. The og tags still work through facebook even if I don't change the doctype actually, so not sure why this is such a hard rule in the framework.
Thanks, Pete
@Pete, are you specifying the XHTML_RDFA doctype via the doctype view helper? See Example 21 here http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…
If you are manually setting the doctype (i.e. by hard-coding it in a view or layout instead of using the helper), the other view helpers (such as headMeta()) have no way to know that you have specified an RDFa-compatible doctype. So, the code in your example would be expected to return false. The framework does not know what doctype you are using unless you specify it with the doctype view helper.
It is a good idea to use the doctype helper to specify your doctype for reasons beyond this specific feature. For example, many view helpers (i.e. the form view helpers) check whether the doctype is specified as XHTML and adjust their output accordingly.

Anna Campbell Bliss, 85, is a local artist, architect and designer who blends technology, nature and math to give SLC's public spaces a unique ambiance. She studied with artists of the '20s from Germany's Bauhaus school and is a pioneer for women in higher education, modern art and architecture.
She finished her 36-foot mural, Let Their Spirits Soar, at the University of Utah's College of Nursing in November - twelve individual panels with silhouettes of dancers across a Utah landscape. Now, she's looking forward to two things, resting before she takes on any new projects and completion of the film about her life and work.
Anna Campbell Bliss' Elements, inside her home. Another version of the project is at the University of Utah College of Nursing.
"It's frightening sometimes, because you don't recognize yourself too well," Bliss says. "But the filmmakers are all doing a good job, and it's interesting to see another persons' vision of you."
Executive producer/director, Cid Collins Walker, invited SLmag to a reception and preview of the movie, ARC OF LIGHT: A Portrait of Anna Campbell Bliss, at the Bliss' home on Jan. 28 - the night before the Sundance Film Festival 2011 awards night.
Collins Walker plans to finish the film by September for submission to Sundance 2012.
Anna Campbell Bliss discussing the film and her artwork with guests at the reception.
"Principal photography on the film is done," she says. "We have quite a bit of editing on the film left that we hope to release later this year, probably by summer."
More than 40 hours have been shot, and now Collins Walker is trying to edit it down to about 45 minutes. "But that's not uncommon for a documentary, particularly for historical documentaries when you're doing a lot of interviews," she says. Close to 20 interviews were filmed with Campbell Bliss' admirers and colleagues throughout the feature. Collins Walker also gathered archival footage and photos from Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Black Mountain College and the Bauhaus school.
"We began shooting in 2008, but I met Anna in the '70s, so I've known her the better part of my adult life," says Collins Walker. "It was probably only four years ago I decided to make this documentary."
Beforehand, Collins Walker worked as a designer for television and short films. She graduated in painting from Scripps College in Claremont, California and received a fellowship with the Whitney Museum of American. ARC OF LIGHT will be her first feature-length film.
"I think Anna and I have a lot in common; it may take me longer, but I want the final product to reflect precision, power and beauty," she says.
Director Cid Collins Walker discussing her passion for the film.
For Kimberly Skyrme, marketing and distribution director of the film, it's also about promoting women's equality. "To meet and know a woman, who studied at a time when women were not even going to college, and then studying architecture and forging ahead in a male-dominated field, is personally compelling."
Skyrme says the project still needs another $25,000. "Typically, a budget for a documentary is more like $100-200,000, and we're operating on less than $50,000 to get it out there."
Two screenings were held at the reception, both met with applause and enthusiasm. Along with a free DVD of what's been released of the film so far, guests at the reception went home with envelopes to mail donations.
"It really has been the $25 checks or the $100 checks from individuals, who have been generous enough to support this story, that's kept it going," Collins Walker says.
Kimberly Skyrme, Anna Campbell Bliss, Cid Collins Walker, Kate North
Ben Butler, Campbell Bliss' assistant, played bartender at the reception and feels more like a close-family friend. "My first experience with her was actually helping her (organize for the printer) with her book, Art for a House of Mathematics," he says. "She's a gifted writer, and the depth of Anna's work amazes me."
Butler helps Bliss by adjusting images on Photoshop or mixing paint. He's only seen small parts of the film, but can't wait for the final product.
"She couldn't have finished the Nursing College project without Ben and her other assistant, Trent," says Robert Lewis Bliss, Anna's husband. "My favorite piece by her is probably one that's in our house. It's the Deep Sea, the big tsunami wave, but she's so prolific; it's hard to pick just one."
Artwork that Anna Campbell Bliss originally displayed at the Finch Lane Gallery
Jim Glenn, manager of the Utah Arts Council, works with Campbell Bliss on public art commissions. "Working on deadlines and all of that is really stressful for her, but I'd welcome her work any time," he says.
"I've known her a long, long time," says Edie Roberson, a local artist and friend. "From the film, I learned a lot about her that I never even knew, and now I'm even more impressed by her. She deserves everything she gets as far as accolades."
You can see Anna Campbell Bliss' artwork at the Utah State Capitol, Salt Lake City International Airport, St. Thomas More Catholic Church and the Leroy Cowles Mathematics Building and College of Nursing at the University of Utah.

In addition to Sundance, Collins Walker and Skyrme plan to submit the film to Toronto International Film Festival and several women's film festivals. Campbell Bliss has lived and worked in Salt Lake City for nearly 50 years.
Salt Lake magazine's Jaime Winston interviewing Anna Campbell Bliss.
Her advice to anyone who wants to follow her steps: "Just get to work."
"It's like a fountain, you have to keep filling it with inspiration from different sources and developing your own attitudes toward things."

There are a couple of different ways to print, depending on the type of app you're using. For most apps, you'll use the Devices charm to print. If you're using a desktop app, you'll use the printing options that are built into that app.
Open the item you want to print.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Devices, and then tap Print. (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Devices, and then click Print).
If you receive a message saying This app can't print, the app you're using doesn't support printing.
Choose a printer from the list.
You'll see a preview of what you're printing, along with the number of copies and the page orientation on the preview pane.
If you can't find the printer you want, you can add it. For more info, see Install a printer.
To see what else you can do, tap or click More settings.
The options in More settings differ for each printer, but you can typically change the paper type, page layout, print orientation, and other output settings. The options you see are made available by the printer manufacturer.
When you're happy with the settings, tap or click Print.
Each desktop app determines how you print from that app, so the way to print will vary from app to app. Here are some of the most common ways to print from desktop apps:
Look in the File menu. It's very common for a Print option to be located in the app's File menu.
Press Ctrl+P.
This might bring up the app's Print dialog box.
Look for a print icon or button. App manufacturers commonly put a print icon or button somewhere on the screen. These are commonly located on a toolbar positioned across the top or bottom of the app.
If none of those ways work, look at the documentation that came with the app or visit the app's help and support site to learn how to print.

Rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss fry in moderately hard water were exposed to control or high levels of dietary Cu (c. 6 and 580 ug Cu g food-1) at one of three levels of Na (1.5, 3.0 or 4.5%) in the diet, i.e. six experimental groups. Fish were fed a 4% body mass ration daily for 28 days and 10 in...
Food selection, growth and physiology in relation to dietary sodium chloride content in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) under chronic waterborne Cu exposure
Waterborne Cu is toxic to Na(+) and Cl(-) regulation in freshwater fish, and Cu is taken up, at least in part, via the Na(+)-transport pathway in the gills. Therefore, we hypothesized that freshwater fish may mitigate the toxic effects of waterborne Cu by selecting a NaCl-enriched diet over a normal...

The influence of ration size on copper homeostasis during sublethal dietary copper exposure in juvenile rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss
The influence of ration size on homeostasis and sublethal toxicity of copper (Cu) was assessed in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) during dietary Cu exposure in synthetic soft water. A constant dietary dose of 0.24 micromol Cu per g fish per day as CuSO(4).5H(2)O was delivered via diets containin...
Physiological and molecular characterization of urea transport by the gills of the Lake Magadi tilapia (Alcolapia grahami)
The Lake Magadi tilapia (Alcolapia grahami) is an unusual fish, excreting all its nitrogenous waste as urea because of its highly alkaline and buffered aquatic habitat. Here, using both physiological and molecular studies, we describe the mechanism of branchial urea excretion in this species. In viv...
Bioaccumulation and hepatic speciation of copper in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) during chronic waterborne copper exposure
To protect cells from toxicity, metal-sensitive cellular compartments must be insulated against essential but toxic metals [such as copper (Cu)] accumulated in excess of metabolic requirements. We measured Cu concentrations at the organ and hepatic subcellular levels in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncor...

Category: General Questions
Where can I find my Prior Year AGI (Adjusted Gross Income)?
As part of the signature process when filing a return electronically, the IRS requires an identifying piece of information. This could be your last year's AGI (Adjusted Gross Income), last year's PIN number that you created or the IRS E-filing PIN number (Taxpayer issued IRS PIN).
Don't have a copy of Last Year's Return? No problem. Click here to obtain an Electronic Filing PIN from the IRS or you may call 866-704-7388. Note: If you are filing a joint return, you will need to obtain a separate PIN for both the taxpayer and the spouse.
If you filed a federal tax return last year and have a copy of last year's return: You can find your prior year AGI in the following places (based on the form that you filed):
- If you filed Form 1040, your AGI will be listed on line 37.
- If you filed Form 1040A, your AGI will be listed on line 21.
- If you filed Form 1040-EZ, your AGI will be listed on line 4.
Note: For MOST Married Filing Joint filers, who filed joint last year, your Prior Year AGI will be the same for both taxpayers, even if one taxpayer did not work.
If you DID NOT file a federal tax return last year, or if you filed AFTER October 15 : Enter "0" for your "Prior Year AGI". (If you did not file a tax return last year, the IRS does not have a prior year AGI on file for you.)
If you are under 16 years of age and this is your first tax return, you will be required to print, sign and mail your return.

Runts were always a candy I loved to look at and handle, but never actually eat. I'm not quite sure why I decided they were more fitting as pretty objects than something edible to me, perhaps because they were always in that nickel bin by the capsule toys at the grocery store. The banana one in particular fascinated me with it's strangely accurate oblong shape and its smooth sugar shell.
To be honest, I don't ever remember really eating Runts before doing this review. I find it humorous that even one of the most common and beloved candies in our culture passed underneath my radar for so many years. It probably would have stayed that way too if I wasn't so intent on trying, well, everything. I was partly pleased and disappointed to see that my timing for trying Runts was on the verge of a big change. These are not the Runts I remember from my childhood, which were made of up of Cherry, Banana, Strawberry, Lime and Orange. Somewhere this mix got changed and the Lime was dropped and Blue Raspberry and Watermelon were added (which are flavors that're so 1990s).
Now the Runts are new and improved (even bilingual) with a whole new set of flavors. I can't compare them to the old ones, so I won't attempt to get all nostalgic about them.
Orange: Very watery tasting with a light fake orange-like essence to it. There's floral, perfume-y and lightly sweet aftertastes. Odd.
Mango: (large red oval) I hate mangoes, but surprisingly I actually liked this. The flavor does read as mango to me though, but without that odd carrot like aftertaste I associate with the fresh stuff. I think here they've kept the best qualities: it's sweet, lightly peachy with notes of apple and very tropical. It has a bit of tang to it in the beginning before the sugar inside washes out all the flavor.
Strawberry: (red heart) Very sweet, and light on flavor. It taste more like "berry" than "strawberry", but it's still tasty and easy to place out of the bunch.
Banana: Firsty of all I love the shape of these and always have. It's just so cute! The flavor is so floral, fruity and just that standard fake banana flavor. I also notice this one is the hardest to chew of the assortment, due to it's oblong shape. The extra second or two it takes for me to cleave it open with my molars makes it that much more enjoyable.
Pineapple: I had high hopes for this one. It startes off tasting strange, but then it develops into a more real pineapple flavor once the sugar insides dissolve a little. It's nice, juicy, and zesty. Even though it's not quite what I was hoping for, it was still pretty good.
This was a fun little adventure into new candy territory. Flavors aside, texture-wise Runts are so easy to crunch so I'm usually done with them in 2 seconds in my mouth. I get bored with them too easily. There's the cracking of the shell, the rush of the sugar insides and then the all too quick dissolve. Which really sums up the whole Runts experience for me: instant gratification with no satisfaction.
Rating: Not Worth It

Caring for Your Baby
Your baby's skin is different from adult skin — it needs extra special care. Learn why your baby's skin is so important and how best to care for it.
About Baby's Skin
Your baby's skin is one of baby's best defenses against irritants, germs and bacteria. But in order to help protect your baby, it has to be healthy.
Newborn Skin Conditions
If you notice something unusual about your newborn's skin, don't fret just yet. These common newborn skin conditions are generally harmless and go away on their own.
Umbilical Cord Care
Your baby's umbilical cord will fall off in about a week, or so, after you bring him home. Until then, be sure to keep it clean and dry.
Keeping Baby Skin Healthy
Your baby's skin barrier is his first line of defense from the outside world. To remain healthy, it's important for the skin to be properly hydrated. Be sure to keep his skin moisturized to help protect against dryness.
Keep your baby happy, healthy and squeaky-clean. Get tips on how to care for his eyes, ears, nose and nails.
Baby Skin Sun Protection
Bringing your baby outdoors is a great way to help him explore and grow — but his skin is extra sensitive to the sun's UV rays.
As your baby grows, so do his teeth! Get your toddler excited about dental care and start him on a healthy daily routine.
Moms around the world trust JOHNSON'S® to safely care for their babies
We are committed to working with moms, healthcare experts and scientists to ensure our baby products continue achieving the highest JOHNSON'S® baby standards.

Broc Kienholz
Lead Operator
Wasatch Landfill for Republic Services
The Job
Kienholz supervises the crew that operates machinery at the landfill and is an operator himself, working with heavy equipment to push garbage into designated areas, spread it and compact it to make room for more. He creates roads to the dumpsite and is on top of environmental matters like covering the trash with dirt and preventing dust, gas and ground water contamination. He also maintains the machinery—the dirtiest part.
Where he does it
The landfill has a 130-million-cubic-yard capacity in a remote area of Skull Valley. It's a 45-minute drive along I-80 West to Rowley Road from Kienholz's home in Magna. Stop by for a smell on your way to Wendover.
The uniform
Hard hat, leather gloves, safety glasses, steel-toed boots and coveralls when doing maintenance on the machines.
Why it's dirty Anything that gets thrown away can also get stuck in the tracks of the bulldozers. "And at the end of the day, we clean the bulldozer tracks," Kienholz says. "You've got to have a hook to get in there, and sometimes, you just throw the hook on the ground and get in with your hands."
Why it's really dirty
"Sometimes a machine will get stuck and you'll have to crawl underneath it in the trash to get a chain hooked up," Kienholz says. "If it's snowing or raining, you end up dripping with you-don't-want-to-know on you—we call it 'mud plus.'" Once, during a nightime snowstorm, a bulldozer broke down on a slope with a fuel leak. Underneath, fuel ran down Kienholz's arms and he was covered in wet trash.
Why he does it
"I actually helped start a new landfill, and I love teaching people how to run this equipment."

Baltimore County News
Jim Lathe
Baltimore County Chief of Highways
Okay, let's get real about emergency websites – you know, those dot-coms and dot-orgs and dot-govs that nobody ever remembers… especially when you need them. Fortunately you can get the latest information by just doing an Internet search for Baltimore County, Snow. It's the fastest way to find the latest information about road conditions, closings, and emergency measures.
Google© (or any search engine for that matter) is a short-cut to a variety of County web pages active this winter. For instance, a search for Baltimore County, Snow will take you to BC Snowfighter (www.baltimorecountymd.gov/snowfighter), which provides hourly updates on winter storm operations and offers an interactive map with road conditions as well as the percentage of County-maintained streets that have been plowed.
When there's a significant winter weather event that affects transportation and safety, the County's emergency operations go live with the activation of the Baltimore County Emergency Operations Centers. When necessary, this multi-agency "mission control center" is staffed 24-hours a day and information specialists post regular updates to Twitter. Follow Baltimore County Emergency Management on Twitter @BACOEmergency for the most current information to help keep your family safe.
In addition, you can find out about inclement weather closings at the Severe Weather and Closing Information site www.baltimorecountymd.gov/News/weather/index.html. This site posts school closings, court schedules, jury duty cancellations, and trash and recycling pickup.
You can be connected to important news when you need it – online or through social media. So this year there's no excuse to be out of the loop. Just think Baltimore County, Snow.

There are many fine options coming up, including Iron & Wine and Kathleen Edwards at the Twilight Concert Series show at Pioneer Park on Thursday. Here's a little low-down on another gig happening between now and then.
MURDER BY DEATH, BAR DELUXE, Wednesday, 9 p.m., $18
It says something about the sprawling sound of Indiana's Murder By Death that the band can move from the emo- and punk-friendly label Vagrant Records to the decidedly rootsy Bloodshot Records and it completely makes sense. Whether you consider them a punk band that dabbles in dark murder ballads, or a roots-rock band with the occasional aggressive excursion, Murder By Death are always an exciting listen. The band's new album, Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon, arrives in September, but they're stopping in Salt Lake City before then. They're joined by Missouri's Ha Ha Tonka, another band that straddles the line between traditional folk-rock and so-called "alternative;" the bands have toured through town together in the past, and it made for a fine double-bill. Make no mistake, though–Murder By Death tops the bill for a reason.

Dream Child is another hit for the small theatre on State-written, directed, etc. by Jana Lynne Cox. But unlike other shows at the Children's Theatre, including Busytown - the best kid's plays I've seen this year, Dream delivers a more serious message minus the bells and whistles.
In fact, the opening is set with only two lights shining on the stage area and a teddy bear sitting in the background. The low-key atmosphere forces more focus on the story, which writer and director Jana Lynne Cox says is " story that needs to be told."
Doctors discovered Julie Anne Rees, Jana's twin sister, had an arachnoid cyst at a young age. It led to seizures, muscle weakness and a lot of attention from her parents and doctors.
Jana wrote the play about Karen and Erin, another set of twins in the same situation, and loosely based it on her own life. Karen feels left out when Erin is given special attention, plus Erin is an embarrassment on the playground. The only place Karen can escape and live her life "normally" is her dreams (which usually turn to songs for the audience). Thus, the play earns the title Dream Child. In the end, Karen decides if she will befriend her sister despite the condition and extra attention/embarrassing moments or not.
Jana wrote the play about 19 years ago when she was 18, and it debuted at Taylorsville High School. She won the Very Special Arts National Young Playwright's Competition, and the show was produced at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
Lucy Holmgren, the elementary-age Karen and lead, delivered admirably with her snappy, angst toward Erin and life in general. She made the crowd feel Karen's jealousy and embarrassment. And even if they tried to hide it, almost everyone welled up when Karen snapped at Erin (Sarah Cassell), "I told you not to bother me when I'm with my friends!" The true sign of a great actor is when the audience stops seeing the actor and just the role. She's well on her way.
My favorite scenes: In a dream, the doctor (Bryce Isaacson) says Karen will die in a coma, and her parents suddenly turn their attention away from Erin to her. Karen dreams she's a queen with the power to send her parents to the guillotine for keeping Erin from being self-sufficient.
Both add a splash of humor to the already emotional show.
Jana Lynne Cox plays the mother, Mrs. Allen. Along with the dad (Matthew Windham), she gives the crowd a third struggle to experience: the parents' effort to deal with Erin's problems and show their love for both daughters equally.
The music is well-composed, but the singing isn't the best. The rest of the cast was Holmgren's age or younger. Despite a few slips, which should be expected in a cast of children, they kept the play flowing - never getting stale even on scenes and dialogue repeated throughout.
Among the Children's Theatre's many quality productions, I'd hesitate to put this show at the very top. But it does deserve a lot of attention and is important for all kids to see and tugs at the heart-strings of the adults. It's also short - just under an hour.
Julie Anne Rees died in 1991, shortly before the Jana finished writing the play. The show is a tribute to Julie, and Jana truly feels she was in the theatre for the premiere, "watching the play in spirit."
You can see the play 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 16 and 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 17. Click here for tix.

South Africa selects Cisco to connect COP17 to rest of the world
- Date
- 29 November 2011
LONDON: Member of The Climate Group, Cisco, is technology partner to the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP17), where it is providing a number of video conferencing services to delegates in a bid to curb COP17's carbon footprint.
Along with its key partners, Neotel and Dimension Data, Cisco is supporting COP17 with all of its network operations throughout the two week summit.
Thanks to the use of Cisco's TelePresence, COP17 attendees in Durban can have in-person meetings with constituents and colleagues in their home continents cheaply, easily and with a limited carbon impact.
TelePresence is an innovative form of secure, high-definition, face-to-face conferencing which allows for real-time meetings where it seems attendees are in the same room as each other, rather than in remote locations thousands of miles apart.
Cisco allows essential meetings that may otherwise be geographically restricted – such as Government officials needing to update off-site stakeholders, consult global experts or conduct press briefings with their countries' journalists – to be effortless.
At COP17 venues, there are several private meeting rooms which can be scheduled for meetings, as well as virtual participation at side events that use WebEx on-demand services.
The innovative move to include TelePresence is a result of the South African Government's commitment to making the climate talks as low carbon and collaborative as possible, and exemplifies Clean Revolution leadership.
Henrik Kjaer, Global Project Lead on COP17, Cisco says: 'As an IT company, we are firm believers in the ability of IT and networking to transform communities and countries. A conference like this is a testament to that. […] If the people at COP17 can't reach out and disseminate the information that comes out of the discussions, it will reflect badly on South Africa as a host, on the UN and on COP as a whole. So bandwidth is key."
Molly Webb, Head of Smart Technologies says: "The means by which the delegates in Durban operate must lead by example. With TelePresence in action, Cisco is providing a 'smart' backdrop to COP17 which also cuts the summit's overall carbon footprint and illustrates ICT's key role in the Clean Revolution. World leaders are sending a clear signal that innovative technologies like Cisco's are simple, cheap and efficient, and their influential leadership is helping to shape the landscape of smart technologies' large-scale adoption at a crucial moment in the climate change calendar."
Equally pioneering digital communications were used at our annual States and Regions Alliance meeting, which for the first time, was held by video conference rather than on location at COP. Pierre Arcand, Minister of the Environment, Sustainable Development and Parks for Quebec took part in the meeting last week. Commenting on the Alliance's adoption of this virtual format he said: "International cooperation between sub-national governments that share common interests and ideals is a major driver for Quebec's commitment to driving the low carbon economy. Video conferencing offers welcome opportunities to intensify these contacts without the necessity of international travel and the greenhouse gas emissions that come with it. "

Ok, so, being a guy who still enjoys a rousing game of pokemon I've yet to evolve past the third generation of pokemon. I beat Pearl, but that's about it. One online match and I was done. I do, however, still play Emerald and Blue.
Ok, ok, let me go the real point of this thread: h ow does the 5th generation and the games themselves stack up? I know I've seen quite a bit of criticism and read a couple reviews, but the real aspect I'm wanting to experiment with is the online PvP experience. Now granted I usually suck against people with these masterful Sandstorm/Baton/Drizzle teams, but I'm willing to suffer through whatever is necessary.
How does the online stack up against Pearl/Diamond? Rather, how does the competitive aspect with new tricks and pokemon compare? Also, how are the game mechanics? Been wondering about this. Would you recommend the new generation to a guy still in love with Gen 1 and 3?

I really love the candies that Brach's makes for the Easter candy season. I think they have the biggest variety of candies out of all the candy makers out there. The have fruit jelly beans, spice jelly beans, licorice jelly beans, malted milk eggs, marshmallow chicks and rabbits just to name a few. I was super excited to find these Jelly Chicks & Rabbits, since these are new for me and I thought I've tried (yet not blogged) most of what Brach's has to offer.
The jellies come in one of two shapes, either a rabbit or a chick. The bag is an assorted mix of flavors and colors, so it's a nice rainbow inside the bag. The jellies are large, a tad larger than a quarter. The chew is think and dense, but thankfully not sticky.
Grape: Starts off very juicy flavor of grapes and "purple". Its slightly medicinal, with a bit of thet grape cough syrup flavor. It's not a bad grape, I actually kinda enjoyed it.
Lemon: This is bright and tart, with an excellent hint of zest to it. It's a lovely lemon flavor that has a slight sweet side to it which balances out the zestiness to it.
Apple: Starts off very floral and perfumey. It reminds me of a scented candle. The the "apple" flavor blossoms, and you get this jolly rancher sour apple type flavor that I didn't like. It tasted too much like a candle still to me.
Orange: Immediately tastes bright and juicy, with a great play of sweet and tart. Really nice orange flavor.
Strawberry: This tastes so "pink" and perfumey. It took me a moment to figure out if I should eat it or spit it out just because it tastes so floral. It kinda comes across as inedible at first. Disappointing, since strawberry is usually the "safe" flavor of the bunch.
Cherry: The cherry surprised me a lot. It is not overly bitter or strange tasting. It's actually quite nice. The flavor is very fruity, jammy and "red". It's not bitter or too fake.
After trying all these candies, I felt a bit let down. The flavors I was expecting to love I really didn't, and the flavors I thought I wasn't going to like were just "meh". Still, if you're into this kind of candy I suggest giving them a shot. Since I am more of a chocolate and jelly bean person shouldn't let me turn you away from something you know you enjoy. Either way, they're pretty to look at as they're colorful and cute!
