Agency History
The Texas State Historical Survey Committee was created on a temporary basis in 1953 (Senate Concurrent Resolution 44, 53rd Legislature, Regular Session) to administer a comprehensive state program for historical preservation; it was given more permanent status in 1957 (Senate Bill 426, 55th Legislature, Regular Session). The committee was composed of eighteen members appointed for six-year terms by the governor. It had the power to erect historical markers, to check the historical accuracy of inscriptions prepared for markers by any individual or group, and to certify the historical worthiness of any historical property the state determined to purchase. In 1962 the Official Texas Historical Marker Program was formed to record Texas historic sites in all counties. Staff evaluated applications and made recommendations to the State Marker Review Board and then prepared marker inscriptions. State law authorized county judges to appoint county historical survey committees. These committees allowed the Texas State Historical Survey Committee to coordinate and cooperate in activities throughout the state. By 1966 each county had formed a historical survey committee. State law also allowed commissioners courts to appropriate money from the general fund to finance the activities of county historical survey committees, and to erect historical markers and acquire objects of historical significance. In addition, cities and counties were authorized to spend funds to operate historical museums.
The Committee created a program called RAMPS in 1964. It called for the recording, appreciation, marking, preservation, and surveying of Texas history. One of the basic objectives was to erect 5,000 official Texas historical markers in five years. The 5000th marker was approved on October 27, 1969. The committee created and/or approved several types of markers, including building markers, small subject and large subject markers, grave markers, medallions, private state approved markers, 1936 centennial markers, and large Civil War centennial markers. The historical markers were erected to mark structures, archeological finds, mountain passes, old trails, Indian camp and burial grounds, sites of battles and skirmishes, sites related to important events in cattle, agricultural, and petroleum industries, unique weather sites, early railroads, famous gunfights, early business and educational institutions, birthplaces or homes of outstanding Texans. The markers gave information on the date of founding, origin of name, and history of many towns and counties, as well as towns that no longer existed. The Committee became the Texas Historical Commission in 1973 (House Bill 1512, 63rd Legislature, Regular Session).
The Texas Historical Commission is composed of eighteen members appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate, serving overlapping six-year terms. Members must be citizens of Texas who have demonstrated an interest in the preservation of the state's historical heritage, and represent all geographical areas of Texas. Beginning in 1995, the membership must include a professional archeologist, a professional historian, and a licensed architect; and two of the members must be from counties with populations of less than 50,000. The governor names the chairperson. The members appoint an executive director to administer the agency. In 1998 the commission had a staff of about 100 employees.
The mission of the commission is to protect and preserve the state's historic and prehistoric resources for the use, education, economic benefit, and enjoyment of present and future generations. The main functions of the agency are to identify, preserve, interpret, and maintain historic and archeological sites. Duties of the agency include preservation consultation with the public; providing leadership to heritage organizations and county historical commissions; working with communities to protect Texas' architectural heritage, including operation of the Texas Main Street Program; administering the state's historical marker program; working with property owners to save archeological sites on private land; ensuring archeological sites are protected as land is developed for public construction projects; consulting with citizens and groups to nominate properties for historical and archeological landmark status and for the National Register of Historic Places; and making historical attractions a cornerstone of the Texas travel industry. The Commission also maintains the Historic Sites Atlas (a database of information on 200,000 historic sites in Texas); is involved with the LaSalle excavations; and was involved with the development of the Bob Bullock State History Museum in Austin.
In the late 1990s, the Texas Historical Commission went through an agency restructuring in which several divisions were combined. The agency now contains seven divisions that carry out the responsibilities of the agency. The Administration Division oversees budgetary, planning, and other executive functions. Staff Services handles personnel, accounting, and other staff functions.
The Archeology Division (formerly the Division of Antiquities Protection, and the Office of the State Archeologist) administers the archeological programs of the agency in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470) and the Antiquities Code of Texas (V.T.C.A., Natural Resource Code, Title 9, Chapter 191). It nominates archeological sites for the National Register of Historic Places; issues permits for activities that impact archeological sites; designates sites as State Archeological Landmarks; conducts surveys for a statewide inventory of archeological sites; and administers the state marine archeology program. The Archeology Division also produces and distributes public outreach materials pertaining to Texas archeology, coordinates Texas Archeology Awareness Month observances, and works with amateur archeologists who assist in preserving sites and collections. The Texas Antiquities Advisory Board assists the division with its state archeological landmark designations and issues pertaining to the Antiquities Code of Texas.
The Division of Architecture administers architectural grants through the Texas Preservation Trust Fund Grant Program, monitors the state's National Historic Landmarks and reviews proposed changes to Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks. It also monitors and provides technical consultation on the restoration and adaptive reuse of the state's architectural resources.
The History Programs Division operates the National Register Program and the Local History Program. This division is compiling a statewide inventory of Texas properties significant in American history, architecture, or culture. It nominates the most significant properties to the National Register of Historic Places. It assists designated cities with developing ordinances and programs to preserve local landmarks and also provides other assistance to county officials, nonprofit heritage organizations, and individuals in preserving cultural and historic resources of the state. It operates the Texas Historical Marker program and administers the Sam Rayburn House Museum in Bonham, Texas.
The Community Heritage Division operates the Main Street Program, the Heritage Tourism Program, and the Certified Local Government Program. The Main Street Program was created about 1981 and is designed to revitalize downtown centers of cities with fewer than 50,000 people. The program provides cities with architectural consultation, marketing, and interior design training for this purpose. In 1989 the Legislature provided funding for an Urban Main Street Program. The Heritage Tourism Program works with business communities and with civic and educational organizations to promote and preserve historic sites in heritage areas. The Certified Local Government Program was created in 1980 and offers technical assistance to cities and awards grants to help with the development of quality local preservation programs.
The Marketing Communications Division, which now includes the former Publications Division, issues a bimonthly newsletter, The Medallion, and provides production services for other departments, including the production of educational and technical materials concerning archeology, architecture, museum laws, and other topics. It also helps coordinate the agency's annual museum conference and assists with public outreach.
There are several boards associated with the Texas Historical Commission. The State Board of Review evaluates nominations to the National Register of Historic Places. The Antiquities Advisory Board evaluates nominations for State Archeological Landmark status and considers issues associated with the Antiquities Code of Texas. The Guardians of Texas Preservation Trust Fund cultivates and develops sources of support for the trust fund and advises the commission of potential donors of property or other assets. The Advisory Board of the Texas Preservation Trust Fund makes recommendations on Trust Fund grant allocations and advises on matters relating to more efficient utilization or enhancement of the fund. The Main Street Interagency Council evaluates applications for the Main Street programs.
The Texas Antiquities Committee was affiliated with the Texas Historical Commission until it was abolished in 1995. The Texas Antiquities Committee was created by Senate Bill 58, 61st Legislature, 2nd Called Session (1969). This committee was the legal custodian of all state archeological resources and it adopted rules to protect and preserve these resources. It designated state archeological landmarks, issued permits for activities that impacted archeological sites, oversaw staff efforts to ensure compliance with the Texas Antiquities Code, maintained an inventory of items recovered and retained by the State of Texas, and contracted or otherwise provided for discovery operations and scientific investigations of sunken or abandoned ships and their contents. In 1995, the committee was abolished (Senate Bill 365, 74th Legislature, Regular Session). Its duties were absorbed by the Texas Historical Commission and are carried out through its Archeology Division. The legislation that abolished the Antiquities Committee allowed for an advisory body to be created to assist the Texas Historical Commission on issues relating to the Antiquities Code of Texas. In 1995, the THC created the Texas Antiquities Advisory Board. The Board provides recommendations on proposed State Archeological Landmarks designations and assists in resolving disputes regarding issuance of Texas Antiquities permits.
Also affiliated with the Texas Historical Commission between 1971 and 1983 was the Texas Historical Resources Development Council. The Council promoted communication among its member agencies in their coordinated efforts to develop and publicize the historical resources of Texas.

I spent 7 years in the windy city of Chicago as a makeup artist with Versace & Chanel. But began 20 years ago as a MUA in the theatre & trained in special FX. My passion is in beauty makeup & primarily my work here in the Northwest has been in film & TV. I love the use of makeup as an art form and want to branch out into more to avant-garde high fashion print work as well as commercial/editorial work. Freelancing over the years for several cosmetic companies has enabled me to create light and natural looks and to highlight a clients best feature, in a timely manor.
I am looking forward to meeting & collaborating with other fellow artists who are passionate about their craft. I and hope to utilize both my talent and experience as a fine artist and designer! I am available to do makeup and light hair & will consider TFP for the right project!
I am taking on very limited TFP shoots at this time, my kit rental fee for TFP's are $50.
I would like to do some fantasy shoots, using special fx makeup and some character makeup, and head shots.
My portfolio can always use some black and whites, very old Hollywood Glam. I would also like to do some very slick high fashion shots. Please email me with any other suggestions you may have I am open to ideas.

Latent hero series #514: Getting dewey-eyed about librarians.
A lot in Electrical CAD and manufacturing quality hinges on data accuracy and completeness of the library data. From the carrion-crow-like perch of someone supporting design automation software, the immense and patient contribution of the ECAD librarians is often missed.
A couple of co-inciding recent events brought me to a renewed understanding of the significance of the work librarians do. Those 2 events were a visit to a customer, and reading a book. The book, I picked up at a church hall used book sale. Quality is Free – the Art of Making Quality Certain. It was first published in paperback in 1980, ISBN 0451624688 by author Philip B. Crosby.
This book has a few things going for it, one of which is it is a Mentor publication – but no relation to Mentor Graphics. The Mentor Books – New American Library, is, or at least was then, a sub-division of McGraw Hill Publishing. For a chance encounter it was interesting reading and a good slice of luck. I think it is out of print now. The domain the book covers is general industrial production and as well as offering plenty of nuggets of straightforward wisdom like "act now for reward later" Crosby goes into convincing detail about the patience required to achieve quality improvements.
I like that a librarian themed blog post involves a book. Next time you go into a public library be sure to wish the person behind the counter "Many Happy Returns"
Empowering librarians:
A high quality electrical parts library to support wiring designs is achieved first by putting in place the right resources for the right length of time. But a close second is senior management makes the responsibilities of librarians untouchable and uncompromised. Giving librarians the authority and autonomy to manage their domain is highly beneficial. A division of labor has been popular in for profit organizations since mediaeval times. It is a winning formula. Librarians have better expertise and the experience in component data management than harness design engineers for example, who to give them their due are far better and more valuable as designers than the librarians may be. Better quality data in the library is not a finish line to pass and then forget about and go on to the next thing, it is an ongoing commitment.
Comprehensive and complete data.
Imagine there is a missing electrical connector in the library. Is the quality problem of the part not being present solved by the part reference being added? If you think at first blush that this is the end, then consider whether for electrical CAD purposes a basic definition really will suffice. Depends what you mean by a "basic" set of information might be your reply. What to include in the set of basic information then? A majority of engineers may want an accurate cross-reference to who the supplier of the part is additional their own internal part numbering system. You want to know where the part can be sourced from. If that part reference, any part reference contains separation or position significance coding, well that's got to be accurate too for consumers of the data down the line.
Yes, accuracy makes a tremendous difference:
What's the difference in the part number ………….. from supplier
3579246 3589246 35-79246 35-792E6 357924-Blue …….. Johnson or Johnston or Johnstone or Jonsson.
It is knowing and handling these subtleties which librarians excel at. Or in CHS, they Capital Library at. (second bad pun of the post).
Now the surface has been scratched relating to one or two small pieces beginning a reasonable "basic" subset of data, let's be bold and examine a few more touch points. What about the CAD symbol or symbols to represent the individual connector? Are they part of the minimum data set you are looking to achieve before you would consider the part to be ready in your database?
Alternative suppliers
Terminals taken and the wires that are valid for inclusion in the wires and in which cavities these can be inserted.
Locking mechanisms attachment methods and strain relief configuration choices.
Plugs and sealing parts
Conformity to environmental control and recycling/pollution standards
Dimensional information.
Extract of or link to official specification documents
Why is this detail important to you?
Because parts engineers and librarians are not just people too, they are pivotal to your success.
Simple five level elevator plan.
The customer I was visiting has guidelines for different levels of completeness of their library data supporting multiple projects in multiple locations. This is a handy way of breaking down the tasks so that the workflow steps are more manageable. Tasks can be split between locations and resources. Librarian task can be split so blocks of data creation and maintenance can be separated out and resourced with temporary help. Per project this perspective helps you to get to a believable % of task complete measurement. The levels provide a simple way of organizing and executing harness component data management and infer the metrics which will be used to track progress.
The levels are:
1) Base data and vendor reference data
2) Design and manufacturing symbol approval
3) Device transmittal layer (CHS footprint)
4) Sub-component interrelationships (for example wire >> terminal >> connector)
5) Models to support electrical simulation/analysis
Being able to measure means you can manage transition from one plateau of accuracy to the next. You can see the dimensions of your data management tasks. You can see it progress to a quality where it supports a high quality design. One of the things I like about this approach is that it acknowledges there is no fixed "minimum" standard. Having the library data good enough to get the job done is not good enough tomorrow when you need different parts information from the library. And then just when you think you have all the information about all the parts you'll ever need someone will invent some more or want some more data associated with the existing ones or you will get a new product line. The concept of attaining a minimum doesn't sit easily with the goal of reaching the best quality.
Hurrah for the librarians. They contribute enormously to make the designs perfect.

Welcome and overdue attention to the librarian. A much misunderstood and ignored profession. Ask Philip Larkin. Personally, I blame the parents. However, isn't there a risk that the perfect becomes the enemy of the good enough?

PALMA DE MALLORCA, Balearic Islands (AP) Villarreal coach Manuel Pellegrini hasn't had any contact with Real Madrid over a potential move to the club.
"Nobody from Real Madrid has spoken with me," Pellegrini said on Saturday after Villarreal clinched a place in next season's Europa League -- formerly the UEFA Cup -- with a 3-2 win at Mallorca.
Former Madrid president Florentino Perez is poised to take over the club again, three years after quitting following a six-year tenure. Spanish reports say Arsenal's Arsene Wenger and Pellegrini are Perez's favored choices to replace Juande Ramos as Madrid coach.
"I have a contract with Villarreal, we finished the league today, and tomorrow we go on holiday," Pellegrini said.
Madrid finished second to Barcelona in the league and exited the first knockout stage of the Champions League for the fifth straight season.

"I have voiced my opinion before that 12 markers is pretty much
useless unless your intent is to prove two people are NOT
related. Even with the same surname."
I think a lot depends on context. Particularly if some very rare off modal
marker scores are involved. I once found a partial haplotype on Sorenson
with only 2 markers to compare to FTDNA markers. I confidently (..rashly??)
matched that to a family, based only on those two markers, as the markers
just happened to be rare off modal scores. When a full set of markers were
eventually obtained, the match went from 2/2 to 25/26. Perhaps I was just
lucky that time. Clearly 2 markers are better than none, 12 are better than
2, and 67 better than 12.
I had a case of 10/12, which included 4 mutation steps. I predicted that a
relationship was possible, as geographic location matched, a rare marker
score matched, and a recLOH looked possible on DYS385. Markers 13-37 when
they were later obtained only had 1 mutation step, on the fastest mutating
marker. Bridging haplotypes were also later found which made relationship
seem more credible.
I have a case of a 12/12 match of a surname variant, which I am almost sure
means no match. The geography feels wrong, and the markers are near modal.
I have a case of an 11/12 match, with paper trail connection, which I wonder
about. The mismatch is on the distinctive family marker, and other markers
are near modal.
I don't very often think in terms of 10/12, or 12/12. or "4 mutations on 12
markers". I am looking for matches on distinctive, off modal, slow markers,
and I add that to the surname, geographic location, and paper trail context,
to see what sort of "gut feeling" I get. Are "gut feelings" admissible
Perhaps about 10%+ of my project participants have something sufficiently
distinctive in the first 12 markers, to make a 12/12 match look interesting.
For the others, 12/12 would be to various degrees into a "zone of

yes I agree that the rules in production should be similar to yours,
but when I started using m0n0 I found it really easy to get going.
This, I think, is because the default was Newbie friendly. If the
default had been like yours then I would have had lots of problems.

Lochte has nice medal haul, but he hoped for more gold
LONDON – Ryan Lochte had expectations for himself entering these Olympics, not to mention a lot of hype and news media attention.
Then he went into the pool for a week and emerged with five medals — two gold, two silver and a bronze — an impressive haul for any Olympian. But did Lochte accomplish what he wanted to at the London Games?
"Not really," Lochte told USA TODAY Sports on Sunday afternoon at the P&G Family House, where families of Olympic athletes gather during the Games. "Of course, when you're at this level and at the Olympics, you're going for gold. You're not going for bronze or silver. I definitely wanted to medal in every event that I swam; that didn't happen.
"But I'm coming home to my country with five Olympic medals, and I'm so happy about that."
The event Lochte didn't medal in was the 200-meter freestyle; he finished fourth. Though the event was early in the week, he appeared pretty tired afterward. The schedule for the race, including prelims and semifinals, forced him to swim multiple times during some sessions.
Lochte's Olympic program included six events (four individual, two relays) and featured a couple of grueling doubles. Thursday night, Lochte competed in two finals — the 200 backstroke and the 200 individual medley — about a half-hour apart. The defending gold medalist in the 200 back, Lochte got bronze. He followed that by finishing second to Michael Phelps in the 200 IM.
Lochte didn't say his program was too much, but he did think the scheduling didn't help him.
"I really like world championships," Lochte said. "It's the same amount of time (as the Olympics), eight days, but the events are scheduled differently.
"(It's) spaced out to where I can swim at my highest level in each event."
Now, the conversation turns to the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Lochte repeatedly has said he plans to compete in those Games.
If he does, Lochte for the first time in his career won't be going up against the greatest swimmer in history. Phelps retired after the London Games.
The last time Lochte and Phelps faced off was in Thursday night's 200 IM final. Phelps won gold, payback for Lochte beating him in the 400 IM earlier.
"It didn't hit me that that was the last time we'd race against each other until I was at the press conference and someone mentioned it," Lochte said. "I love racing against him just because he's the toughest competitor I've ever had to go up against."
Still, Lochte said the focus of his training wouldn't change just because Phelps isn't around. Lochte said he didn't train with their rivalry in mind for these Games, either.
"I wasn't looking forward to just going against him," Lochte said. "I swim so many different events, and he's not in all of them. There are so many other people in the world in the sport of swimming that I have to look out for.
"The next four years, I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing — racing the clock. That's what really pushes me every day in practice."

I have downloaded bt4.iso to a DVD+R and used md5sum to confirm it was not corrupt. My goal is to keep Ubuntu 10.04 as my main OS and use bt4 to assist me on some projects. I have read the tutorials and how to's on this site and others but two things concern me that I hope someone will take a few minutes to help me with. My concern is two fold:
1) the only dual-boot scenario I have found is with Windows OS not Linux( I'm missing it somewhere certainly) and if the install procedure is the same for both OS's I will go ahead with it.
2) I would like bt4 to work in concert with Ubuntu and not overwrite or partition HD space so I lose or crash Ubuntu.
I guess there are no guarantees but if you could nudge me in the right direction I'd be grateful.
Backed up data and installed bt4 successfully-Thanks Archangel

John Pantlin was a skilled photographer, but today he is relatively unknown. Curator Valeria Carullo looks at one of the images included in a new exhibition about his work…
This 'house on stilts' was in fact designed as a caravan in 1952 by architect David Jenkin when his client was refused the licence to build a house on the land he bought at Brentwood. The timber weatherboard construction, designed in collaboration with Ove Arup & Partners, was supported by a steel frame made of Z-section purlins and tripods attached to wheels. The experimental nature of the house, the upward-looking camera angle and the children on the balcony pointing into the distance all combine in this photograph by John Pantlin to convey a sense of optimism in the future and in modern architecture, typical of post-war British architectural culture.
The 'John Pantlin: photographing the mid-century home' exhibition is on display at the Geffrye Museum until the 29 June 2014. Entry is free.

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1)
They call him the Man of Steel. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, Superman is the ultimate strong and powerful guy. As long as there's none of that nasty green Kryptonite nearby to suck away his stunning strength, Superman can do whatever it takes to rescue people in any kind of danger. And not only does he fly and have incredible muscles, but he also actually seems to care about using his powers not to make himself look good, but to help people.
We love Superman because we know we need a hero: someone who knows when we need help, is powerful enough to be able to help us, and cares enough to want to help. In the movies and on TV, Superman does all of those things. But he does not do any of them perfectly. For example, he knows when people need help – but only because he hears about it from someone else. He is powerful enough to help people – but only in one place at a time. If a child were being kidnapped on one side of Metropolis at the exact same moment that a woman's car was being stolen on the other side of the city, he would have to choose to help either the child or the woman. He could not do both, even if he wanted to.
Superman is a good hero, but he is only a man – and not even a real man, just a pretend character on TV and in movies. He is only an imitation of the one Hero we all need: a God Who knows everything, Who can do anything He wants to, and who loves His children perfectly. That God is our refuge: we can run to Him for shelter when we're facing something scary or painful. He is our strength: we can call on Him when we are weak. He is always near when we are in trouble: He doesn't have to fly to where we are, because He is already there. We can count on Him to be our ultimate Hero.
God, my Refuge and Strength, is better than any make-believe hero.
My Response:» Do I turn to God for help when I am in trouble, or do I try to solve my problems by myself?
"I care not where I go, or how I live, or what I endure, so that I may save souls."
David Brainerd – who came to be known as the "pioneer for modern missions" – was born on April 20, 1718, in Haddam, Connecticut. The year that he was born, Jonathan Edwards was 14 years old, and Benjamin Franklin was 12. The world was being prepared for the Great Awakening.
Brainerd did not have an easy life. His father died when Brainerd was 9, and his mother died when he was 14. After his mother's death, he was sent to live with his married sister. Incredibly, by age 20, he was beginning to desire to be in the ministry, yet he wasn't even a Christian yet!
At age 21, Brainerd genuinely trusted Jesus Christ and gave his life to Him. He enrolled in Yale University, where he studied hard. He was often sick, yet he did his best. While he was in college, the First Great Awakening began, and the famous British evangelist George Whitefield visited to preach in the British North American colonies.
Before he finished at Yale, Brainerd was expelled for refusing to apologize for something he believed. He left Yale and became a missionary to the Indians. It was not his idea of the best timing or how he had planned to go into ministry, but for him, it was God's leading in his life.
During the month of his 25th birthday, Brainerd moved to a reservation and began preaching the Gospel to the Native Americans, specifically the Delaware tribe. He lived alone in a small wigwam and traveled around to preach. In less than one year, he was pastoring a church of over 130 Native Americans who had become Christians – an amazing exhibit of the grace and power of God's Gospel!
Sadly, Brainerd became ill (probably with tuberculosis) and died when he was just 29 years old. He died in the home of Jonathan Edwards, whose daughter he had planned to marry. David Brainerd was actually a Christian himself for only eight years and a missionary for only four years! And yet he is known now as the most influential missionary to Native Americans ever. His story serves to remind us that God uses those who trust Him, even when it is hard.
Are you willing to serve God even when you face tough times? Do you find yourself forgetting sometimes that God can make His strength perfect even in your weakness?
Isaiah 40:29 – He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.
A Cleft of the Rock
Exodus 33:22 "And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: "
God may allow the devil to win some battles now, for reasons He alone knows; but a day of final judgment is coming when God will ultimately win. Daniel 4:35 – And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
Inerrancy means that the Bible is always true and tells the truth concerning everything it talks about. God warns man not to add to the words of the prophecy of the Bible, for the words written were given to men by him and contain no mistakes. (Rev. 22:18-19) (2 Timothy 3:16) "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."

If You Don't Cry At Nicki Minaj Surprising The "Super Bass" Girls On "Ellen," You Have No Heart
Not going to lie: this video of Nicki Minaj surprising the ballerina dress-clad "Super Bass" girls on Ellen DeGenere's talk show made me start crying at my desk. They performed "Super Bass" for Ellen's audience (watch here) and then she told them that Nicki was there to meet them. Sophia Grace, 8, and Rosie, 5, are stupid-cute and obviously thrilled. But it's really when the camera pans to their parents in the audience, who are sobbing, that I lost it. Nicki Minaj looks like she's tearing up, too. Seriously, go into a conference room if you have to and watch this. It'll warm even the bitterest of hearts on this Thursday morning. [Clutch Magazine]

Check the "standard" from the poultry club of Great Britain regarding comb type, leg colour etc. before you look for your hens. Don't forget to get a receipt and some document guaranteeing that it will be replaced free if it turns out to be fake.
(10) Your purchase will represent value for money. If you buy cheap you get rubbish. If the deal seems too good to be true - it probably is! There are a lot of so-called suppliers on the Internet who buy sub-standard poultry at auctions and try to pass them on to you for a quick profit. You'll never hear from them again.
(11) Check out your potential supplier by asking them for testimonials and contact details of previous customers. Check the Internet for bad reviews.
(5) Chickens especially are social creatures. Reputable breeders will rarely sell you a single hen unless they know it is to be a companion to another lonely hen.
(7) Never buy chickens unseen. Inspect them thoroughly before purchase. Don't be afraid to say NO. Dont buy a bird with sniffles, as chickens with respiratory problems are never going to be healthy.
(6) If you want to buy a young hen and it turns out to be a cockerel, make sure your supplier will replace free of charge or give you a refund and take the bird back.
(8) Never collect the birds from a third party. Always insist on meeting the breeder. Don't meet in dubious locations. Always collect direct from where the breeder has their stock.
(9) Don't consider buying poultry from a "car boot style" sale. They are bringing together birds from many different areas and any disease may have been transmitted to all.
(12) Chickens take a lot of time and effort to raise from a chick. Anyone who sells their chickens cheap has cut corners. You will rarely get a quality bird for less than £15. Any less than this and they will have been raised by the thousands in warehouse style conditions

Predictably, Punks Are Protesting The Met's Chaos Into Couture Show
The Met Costume Institute's Ball last week was clearly just a harbinger to come — the tone deaf outfits and embarrassing displays of total non-punkness were simply pre-cursors to fairly scathing critiques of the exhibit itself. But even — and especially — those outside of the establishment are expressing their disdain for the collection.
Gerry Visco, a self-professed punk who at 58 is old enough to actually live through punk's inception and first wave, came down to protest Punk: Chaos Into Couture, and led a group of about a dozen punks in making a statement outside the museum. I was a real punk," said Visco. "We like the fact that they're doing this show but it's not as authentic as it could have been."
"I'm curious because it's 'red-carpet Punk,' designers designing $900 outfits to look punk," said Visco's friend Rew Starr. "Punk is an expression of self, so if you're looking to buy something to look punk you're not punk." The group plan on returning at least once a week to take a stand against the exhibit. And of course, they'll be visiting it, too. Even Visco admits she did a walk though. ""It wasn't fun enough," Visco said. "It could have been more avant-garde and daring." [DNA Info]
