Attention, Georgia lawmakers: What's wrong with this picture?
Recently, state officials vastly overpaid for vacant land in Middle Georgia to provide a safe habitat for endangered bears.
In fact, the $28.7 million they coughed up for the property is about twice the amount this acreage was worth in 2004, meaning that the nationwide plunge in real estate values miraculously left this backwoods area untouched.
But Georgia's nonbear population - along with those who aren't real estate developers who own land adjacent to Gov. Sonny Perdue's property - weren't as lucky.
That same day, Gov.-elect Nathan Deal offered grim news for educators and others who care about better public schools and how to pay for college: Prepare to get whacked again by the budget ax in 2011.
The state Board of Natural Resources was right to want to acquire additional acres in the Oaky Woods wilderness area in Houston County. An estimated 300 black bears live in this largely untouched part of the state. So preserving this habitat for wildlife is a legitimate public goal.
But who did the price dickering for the DNR? Was it Mr. Dumb or Mr. Dumber?
In 2004, the DNR had a chance to buy this 20,000-acre site but passed. So private developers picked it up instead, for $32 million, or roughly $1,600 an acre. They planned a huge commercial and residential development with 30,000 homes. But it never got off the ground.
Three years later, in 2007, developers shopped around the property for a sky-high $14,000 an acre. They got no takers. Now the price has dropped to $3,000 an acre - and incredibly, Georgia taxpayers are biting at this inflated price. That explains why the DNR can acquire just 10,000 acres, not the entire 20,000-acre parcel.
With lousy dealmakers such as that in state government, it's no wonder the state can't afford to keep teachers in schools or colleges at full steam next year.
Let's hope the next governor, House Speaker David Ralston, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and members of (the legislature) ... become more aware of how the state spends its money before they cry poor mouth about the next budget. Georgians vote. Bears don't.

One Eye Industries Rebrands and Continues to Lead the World in Magnetic Filtration Solutions
One Eye Industries (OEI) rebrands with an updated logo, tagline and website. The company continues to be the world leader in magnetic filtration solutions.
Calgary, AB. (PRWEB) October 15, 2015
On October 9, One Eye Industries Inc. (OEI), a Calgary based company that specializes in the design and production of Industrial Magnetic Filtration Solutions, announced a rebrand and launch of a new company website. After 15 years of success in the oil and gas, mining, manufacturing, transportation, marine, food production and chemical manufacturing industries in over 36+ countries in the world, the Company decided it was time for a brand refresh.
The Company has grown from humble beginnings in the CEO, Roger Simonson's own garage, to the International Magnetic Filtration leader it is today. Mr. Simonson explains, "Change is always a challenge. Our technology is disruptive to traditional distribution and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) business models, because our filters are reusable, easily cleaned and have an operational life of 15 plus years. Our technology's high efficiency in removing ferrous and non-ferrous contamination to submicron levels, extends the operational life of equipment components, lube oils and fluids more than twice its traditional life cycle. This is a game changer for the end user, as our customers routinely experience increased equipment reliability, reduced operational costs and increased profitability."
The Company's rebranding comes at a perfect time to present a fresh image. After 15 years, its Magnetic Filtration technology has achieved a significant benchmark of credibility in the oil and gas, and mining industries, in which many large corporations now employ OEI's technology as the standard for their equipment. One of many examples in Western Canada is STEP Energy Services (STEP).
STEP, who attributes its success and growth in the oil and gas well servicing industry to a predictive and proactive reliability program, employ OEI as a key component in its maintenance program. Dale Constantine, Reliability Specialist of STEP explains, "OEI's Magnetic Filtration technology has greatly enhanced our maintenance program. It has resulted in reduced operational costs through extension of equipment life and their components, as well as the reduction of unscheduled maintenance; all important factors amounting to greater equipment and company reliability. In addition, STEP uses OEI products for predictive inspections and root cause analysis as every magnetic filter tells a story. We are operating in a marketplace with low oil prices and a slowing economy, yet STEP is growing and expanding. It is our ability to provide cost effective and reliable service to our customers that enables us to continue to win business over our competitors."
OEI now has an updated logo, which still pays homage to the legend of the great Canadian bear, after which the Company was named. In addition, the new website goes into more depth about Magnetic Filtration, its products, industry applications and many case studies from around the world. The Company remains under the same ownership and is excited to further expand its business and differentiate itself from traditional filter competitors around the world. OEI's goal is to continue to provide its customers with highly efficient Magnetic Filtration Solutions that will improve reliability and profitability for years to come.
One Eye Industries is the world leader in Industrial Magnetic Filtration solutions. OEI produces superior Magnetic Filtration solutions for Fortune 500 companies in the oil and gas, mining, manufacturing and transportation industries in 36+ countries around the world.

Icons: A Volatile Market
IN THE EARLY '80S, Ric Dunston, who was then assistant manager of the Gallery, walked over to the Market with his boss, Jim Rouse — an uncle of Philadelphia's Willard Rouse. "When we went in," says Dunston, "Mr. Rouse said, 'We could never do this. This is … organic.'"
Those words stayed with Dunston. But when he walked into the Market again as board chairman, in 2002, he looked around with eyes honed by years in corporate retail management and started dragging garbage cans and dollies out of the aisles. To him, they looked less like the natural outgrowth of an indoor food bazaar and more like a series of potential slip-and-fall lawsuits. To Market merchants, Ric Dunston just looked uptight.
A merchant like Olivieri is like a modern-day pirate. Not a Bluebeard-type pirate, who murders and steals and maims, but a Johnny Depp pirate — the kind we love, who makes his own rules and his living at the crest of a wave. Some Market merchants — the Olivieri type — revel in the camaraderie of the place, the honor of being one of the roughly 75 businesses housed here. As if in celebration, a small group of them sometimes gathers to down shots of whiskey before the rush of lunchtime customers begins. One pours me a 10 a.m. scotch from a flask he keeps behind his stand. "Don't worry," he says, "no one will tell."
It's an ethos you can feel in the way the Market crowd presses together like drinkers in a bar, funneling through aisles crammed with the raw and the cooked. A heavyset woman behind a black-and-white countertop hollers "Chocolate chip cookies!," her voice trailing off in the dull roar of the place. Men lean over the counter at Pearl's Oyster Bar, heads bowed as if they're ducking under waves of noise.
At the Greek stand, the lady just says "What?" Customers figure out the rest. She snatches the money from their hands. At Delilah's, eager eaters crowd around tables, mouths steady over plates loaded up with fried chicken and heaps of greens. They drink rivers of sweet tea.
And at Rick's Steaks, Olivieri serves 120 sandwiches in an hour, manning the grill himself, tossing onions skyward and letting them fall back down like flecks of snow. Olivieri is the direct descendant of Pat Olivieri, who in 1933 invented the steak sandwich: Grandpa fried thin slices of beef with onions, stuck the result in a bun, and sold it. As a result, Rick is third-generation Philly Cheesesteak Royalty. Family legacies like these are endemic to the Market. Over at Harry Ochs, they carve — knives slicing sinew from bone, fat from flesh — as they have for a century. Harry has worked in the Market for 61 years. He shows up most every morning and leaves early in the afternoon.
Only a handful of cities, like Cleveland, with its West Side Market, and Seattle, with Pike Place, boast markets with histories as rich as that of Reading Terminal. Boston, New York, Chicago — none of them has a year-round public market. The Times, in fact, published a long article last January bemoaning this lack. Reading Terminal is a rare chance for Philadelphia to stick its Whiz-coated fingers in New York's eyes. It is a place, like so many in Philadelphia, forged in tradition.
DUNSTON AND OLIVIERI FIRST clashed publicly in July 2005. The staff and board of Reading Terminal Market had gathered in a conference room at the Loews Hotel with their merchant tenants to kick off new lease negotiations. The meeting marked the beginning of the end for Olivieri, who attended in two capacities — president of the Reading Terminal Market Merchants Association, and shop-owner. He didn't like what he heard that day.
To ensure Reading Terminal's future as a public market, management proposed to lower rents for meat, fish, poultry and produce vendors, whose profit margins are traditionally tight. To offset that loss, rents for those who sold prepared foods, like Olivieri, would be increased. When a microphone was passed around the room for comments, Olivieri challenged Dunston.
In most important respects, Olivieri is Dunston's opposite. Forty years old at the time, he had spent more than half his life in the Market's ramshackle bazaar. At that point, Dunston had chaired the Market's board for three years. This was his first lease negotiation with the tenants; his professional background was based entirely in corporate retail, in decades spent managing bright, staid, fluorescent-lit environments like Liberty Place and the Gallery.
"Ric," Olivieri said, "we aren't McDonald's here. We aren't buying a million pounds of beef and getting a break on costs. If you force these rent increases on the lunch merchants, we're going to raise our prices. Nobody wants a seven-dollar- and-75-cent cheesesteak! Some of us might have to close down."
Dunston's response boiled down to: You'll find the money. And with that, he pushed the microphone back at the smaller, stocky Olivieri.
The pirate stared at the Corporate Suit. Dunston, roughly six-foot-three and broad as a box store, stared back.
"The room got so tense, it felt like anything could happen," remembers current Merchants Association president Michael Holahan. "It was like one of those movie scenes where if a car backfires outside, the next thing you know, everyone will pull out guns and start shooting."
In the ensuing days, the confrontation between Olivieri and Dunston was the talk of the Market. Olivieri — on behalf of a small group of merchants — never did stop fighting about those leases. And the argument that started that day ended three years later in court.

After the last year of feeling like I was finally getting a handle on life again, my husband and I decided to have another baby. When we made that decision, I knew I'd be giving up a lot of what I had done to build a life for myself, in addition to my primary role as mom and wife. I'd worked hard to build my blog, even building a small affiliate income that had become a semi-necessary stop-gap against unexpected expenses in a stretched tight budget. I was finally finding a rhythm in homeschooling my daughter and we had even joined a homeschool co-op. When we found out we were pregnant, I was ecstatic and then the morning sickness hit.
Strike that, it came like a tsunami and tore up my life and expectations. This is my fourth pregnancy and I thought I knew what to expect. Yes, I'd be tired. I would need to make sure I got plenty of rest. Eat every few hours to avoid nausea, balance my proteins and carbs to help prevent another round of gestational diabetes. But that wasn't what happened. After spotting, bleeding and an emergency ultrasound, baby was Ok, but I most definitely was not. I squeaked through my last week or two of free -lancing for my old job, including two very long days putting our biggest event of the year together and then I collapsed, both physically and emotionally. I was so sick I could barely eat. I rarely showered or got out of my pajamas. My kids made due with cold cereal, PBJ and fruit. I lived on goldfish crackers and after a while, not even those. After two weeks, and a positive ultrasound, I decided I needed help, so my doctor prescribed medication. I felt defeated, but I was desperate. At least now I could eat, though I was still living primarily on Ensure and pretzels, but at least I was eating a regular meal or two each day.
All my grand goals of a fit pregnancy where I would be active, eat healthy and continue to move along at my usual rate, was gone. Right now I just want to survive the first trimester and hope for an easing of symptoms in the second. I want to get back onto a more diabetes friendly diet (all the sugar in those Ensures makes me cringe every time) but I also know that EATING period is my priority right now. I'll have to deal with the rest later.
It's been very hard to set aside ongoing projects. My blog has been quiet with me not even having enough energy to type most of the time. My thoughts come in hazy bursts between exhaustion and nausea.
But this is the season I'm in. It won't last forever. Lamenting it and blaming myself doesn't make it any easier to cope. I have no control over how my body is handling the rush of hormones this time around (or the fact that I was in maternity clothes at 10 weeks because none of my normal pants would close). This is just where I'm at and I need to accept it. It does not make me weak or a failure. Accepting that has actually made all of this easier. Yes, the guilt is still there. When my overworked husband comes home exhausted and then makes dinner, cleans up the house and puts in the kids to bed. When my kids watch more TV in a week than they usually do in a month. But I just keep telling myself, this will pass.

Porsche 918 Spyder Concept live in Geneva. Photos © United Pictures, Int'l.Enlarge Photo
Sometimes a company will make a concept car that is just a mock-up that doesn't run. Other times the concept will move under its own power, but only to move from the truck to stage; not a road-worthy vehicle. But when a concept is really special, or the company sees real production potential, the car will be a fully functional engineering exercise.
Thankfully, Porsche's 918 Spyder is in the latter category. The car is one of the coolest cars to show up this year at Geneva, and is what a hybrid car should be. The gasoline powertrain consists of a 500 horsepower V-8, while the electric motors found at each axle, provide an additional 218 horsepower. The car isn't the fastest production car with a 198 mph top speed, but supposedly will go from 0-60mph in 3.2 seconds and return a fantastical 78 mpg.
Though there have been plenty of articles written and galleries full of photographs involving the 918 Spyder Hybrid, the one media lacking was video. Surprisingly Porsche decided to officially show the 918 moving this weekend in Monterey California during the historic races at Laguna Seca and the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

Though the video doesn't show the 918 Spyder blasting down a windy road, the noise it's making more than makes up for it.

Lincoln Park Zoo has a new cute, wide-eyed addition to its family.
A Moholi bushbaby, tiny primates native to Southern Africa, was born in January but has now ventured out of its nest for public inspection.
Moholi bushbabies are tiny -- weighing less than 0.3 ounces -- but are easily identified by their large eyes.
They're considered extremely rare in zoos and this bushbaby -- its sex has yet to be determined -- is one of only 20 located in zoos around the country.
Zoo officials say the little guy -- or girl -- appears to be healthy and has quadrupled in size over the past month.
The whole family is on exhibit at the Regenstein Small Mammal-Reptile House from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily.

Truett Seminary Dean Brad Creed to Return to ClassroomMay 5, 2000
Dr. J. Bradley Creed, professor of Christian history and dean of Baylor University's George W. Truett Theological Seminary since January 1996, will step down from his administrative post effective June 1. Creed, one of the first professors hired before the seminary opened in the fall of 1994, will remain on the faculty and return to the classroom next January following a sabbatical.
Dr. Randall O'Brien, professor of religion at Baylor and executive assistant to the president, will serve as Truett's acting dean. Baylor Provost Donald D. Schmeltekopf will appoint a search committee in the next few weeks.
"Brad Creed has led Truett Seminary through an outstanding period of growth, and I am grateful for his tremendous work," said President Robert B. Sloan Jr., who served as Truett's founding dean before being elected Baylor's 12th president in 1995. "He has been with the seminary since its inception and helped shape its distinctive vision as associate dean and most recently as dean. The Seminary has seen strong growth in its student enrollment and in the size of its faculty, and a number of new degree programs have been established under his leadership. Brad has a deep commitment to the Lord and to Truett Seminary, and I am grateful that he will devote his energies full-time to exercising his great gift for teaching and nurturing students."
Truett's enrollment has more than doubled from 92 students to 194 since Creed was named dean, and the faculty has expanded from four to 12 full-time members. The Seminary has gone from offering the master of divinity with one concentration to offering five M.Div. concentrations, as well as the joint M.Div./master of music and M.Div./master of social work and the doctor of ministry degrees. Creed was presiding dean at the Seminary's first graduation in May 1997. Truett has 114 graduates in the field, almost half of whom are pastors. The Seminary is currently a candidate for accreditation by the Association of Theological Schools and three endowed lectureships have been established in recent months. On Feb. 2 Truett held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new $17 million facility on the Baylor campus.
"I am grateful to have served as dean of the Seminary during its formative days of development and growth," Creed said. "It has been a great privilege working in this capacity with our faculty, staff and students. Confident of Truett Seminary's future progress and believing whole-heartedly in its mission, I am looking forward to full-time teaching and serving the Seminary in the classroom."
Prior to joining the Truett faculty in 1993, Creed served as pastor of First Baptist Church in Natchitoches, La., for five years. He also has served as a church planter and as interim pastor at churches in Texas and Oklahoma. A church historian, he is currently editing a book titled Against the Grain: Prophetic Voices in Baptist Life. Creed has been a contributor to other books, including the Holman Bible Dictionary, Has Our Theology Changed? Southern Baptist Thought Since 1845, and Proclaiming the Baptist Vision: The Church. He holds degrees from Baylor University and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and in June 1996 he completed a management development program at Harvard University.
O'Brien earned his bachelor's degree from Mississippi College and his master's in sacred theology from Yale Divinity School. He also holds master of divinity and doctor of theology degrees from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. A decorated Vietnam War veteran, O'Brien has served as pastor of churches in Arkansas and Louisiana. He has written two books and numerous articles for professional and scholarly journals. Prior to joining the Baylor faculty, he taught at Ouachita Baptist University and was pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Little Rock, Ark.

In this morning's roundup of movie news 'n' notes from around the web, it's all "Inception," all the time, and almost all raves.
The reactions came hard and fast and furious on Monday afternoon at 3:00 Pacific time, the time when Warner Bros. had told critics and journalists who'd seen Chris Nolan's "Inception" that it was okay to start posting reactions to the film. More writers will see it this week, so this is just the beginning. But for now, it's safe to say that the movie is off to a pretty good start.
(TheWrap's thoughts and analysis are here.)
Justin Chang, Variety: "Applying a vivid sense of procedural detail to a fiendishly intricate yarn set in the labyrinth of the subconscious, the writer-director has devised a heist thriller for surrealists, a Jungian's 'Rififi,' that challenges viewers to sift through multiple layers of (un)reality."
Kirk Honeycutt, the Hollywood Reporter: "'Inception" puts [Nolan] not only at the top of the heap of sci-fi all-stars, but it also should put this Warner Bros. release near or at the top of the summer movies. It's very hard to see how a film that plays so winningly to so many demographics would not be a worldwide hit."
Anne Thompson, Thompson on Hollywood: "When it opens July 16, this eye-popping film will wow moviegoers all over the world — its complexities will only encourage debate and repeat viewings — and should also score well with critics and year-end awards groups."
Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine: "A bold, inventive, audacious entertainment, 'Inception' charts a new course for motion pictures and sets the bar very, very high."
Kris Tapley, In Contention: "[A] film like nothing you have ever seen before that plays out like a two-hour therapy session, wrapped in the accoutrement of a heist film and bathed in the panache of an entirely immersive cinematic experience." And Tapley added a measured consideration of the film's Oscar chances: "'Inception' will need a savvy campaign and a heck of a dent at the box office (which it could get with great word of mouth) to overcome some of these hurdles."
Sasha Stone, Awards Daily: "With 'Inception' we have a film and a filmmaker that has broken new ground and very nearly reinvented the form and he did it all without 3-D."
Drew McWeeny, HitFix: "'Inception' flattened me, and even now, more than a week after my first viewing of it, I find myself turning over images and ideas from the film almost constantly."
Todd Gilchrist, Cinematical: "At the same time, he's made an utter crowd pleaser, an epic piece of entertainment that ultimately feels so simple precisely because of all of its complexity, and one that rouses and inspires and excites in the same way as blockbusters comprised of pure spectacle."
Nev Pierce, Empire magazine: "With physics-defying, thunderous action, heart-wringing emotion and an astonishing performance from DiCaprio, Nolan delivers another true original: welcome to an undiscovered country."
Devin Farachi, CHUD: "It's a movie where Christopher Nolan manages to bring together all of his obsessions and quirks, where his personal issues are the life and death issues at the center of the story, and where he has managed to turn every single one of his directorial weaknesses into massive strengths."
Mr. Beaks, Ain't It Cool News: "'INCEPTION' is a miracle: a multi-layered meditation on the unruly clutter of the subconscious that works sensationally well as a classical action film."
Dustin Hucks, Film School Rejects: "[I]t's one of the most beautiful, well written, and fully realized high dollar films of the last five years."
But wait … stop the presses! Silas Lesnick, from ComingSoon.net, scores it a mere seven out of 10 and dares to have some qualms, calling it "a bore" and adding this: "'Inception' should still impress and, at the very least, inspire some worthwhile discussion, but it's hardly the heady blockbuster summertime savior that audiences have been waiting for."
Meanwhile, a couple of writers who have yet to see the film can't resist chiming in. Jeff Wells (who won't see it until next week) talks to people who have seen it, and hears lots of comparisons: "The Matrix," "The Fountain," "Shutter Island," "Ocean's 11," "The Dark Knight" … (Hollywood Elsewhere)
And David Poland is suspicious of everybody else raving about the movie, which he'll see on Wednesday. "I will be thrilled beyond belief to love Inception as The Friday Pack does … or even more," he claims. But his alarm bells have gone off. (The Hot Blog)
Finally, Scott Wampler offers five twist endings that he thinks "Inception" should have, "but probably won't." One is that "Inception" turns out to be the fourth "Matrix" movie and "Leonardo DiCaprio" is actually being played by Keanu Reeves; another uses the twist endings of all of M. Night Shyamalan's movies, one after the other. None of 'em make much sense. (Examiner.com)

Why is it that hundreds of other companies with stores abroad honour their responsibilities when it comes to exchanging goods purchased overseas? I purchased an item I'm paris and was told I could exchange in uk. In uk they say no exchanges or refunds for overseas purchases even though I have the receipt.
Disgusting attitude.

Hi Farhat,
nice the view as the presentation of all this colourful crowd as gathering there to celebrate the 15th August,the Intependence Day.I like the tight frame with the quality of the image to be superb.
snunney (113609) 2013-12-07 7:22
Hello Farhat,
Lots to see here with all these people waiting in anticipation. The umbrellas dotted about add further interest and make good focal points. Very good colours and sharpness.

quante persone, quanti volti, quanti colori, quanti pensieri, ma un unico festeggiamento.
Bello scatto, mi piace, si lascia osservare piacevolmente, i dettagli sono molti e incuriosiscono molto.

Hello Farhat,
great and very vibrant composition!
I think it was a great idea to go into a wide,panoramic format,which captures perfectly the essence of the scene and what you wanted to convey with it.
Have a nice weekend
holmertz (64548) 2013-12-07 9:46
Hello Farhat,
I have noticed that people sometimes say about me that I want as many persons as possibly in every picture. It's not quite true, but in spite of that I really enjoy this photo, which must be close to some unofficial TE record of packing people inside a frame. The sharpness is so good that looking at the large version I can study every face closely, trying to detect peoples' characters and individual traits. It is a very colourful photo, but looking closely I realize that it would have been very much more colourful if taken somewhere in the plains of central India or in the south. Darjeeling is on the outskirts of Indian culture, and that is quite obvious from this interesting photo.
Kind regards,
aleXundar (1256) 2013-12-07 9:55
Hello Farhat,

Namaskar dear Farhat
No one does "crowd" quite as well as the Indians or the Chinese :) This is a wonderful composition, so colourful, lively and exotic just like the country itself, the people reflect it perfectly. I love the tight framing too and could look at this for hours and still find something new to marvel at. Excellent work.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Farhat,
Oh, I like this one a lot! The tight framing and use of a panoramic format suits this perfectly. It's the epitome of humanity, yeah? :) So many people, so many faces of individuality, and so much color to absorb from the multitude of elements. A great concept and approach to envision the opportunity. Well observed and presented!
Friendly wishes,
ourania (51103) 2013-12-08 10:07
Hello Farhat,
a great idea to point your lens towards the spectators offering us a fine picture with huge human interest. I like very much your tight panoramic frame that's filled with people. The umbrella near the upper border closes your composition superbly. The impact of so many people gathered together is great but your clear and well illuminated picture goes beyond the title "crowd" and allows us to study individual characteristics, expressions and attitudes. You got a delightful palette of colours too. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely week,

Interesting scene.
Good reportage photo.
I like frame, colors and sharpness.
Well done.
Have a nice afternoon
Royaldevon (48467) 2013-12-09 3:27
Hello Farhat,
A shot which looks easier than it probably was! So many people, so much movement but you have suspended them all in time!
It is such an interesting, colourful shot.
There are expressions, relationships and costumes to discover. The dotted umbrellas add to the overall mood of the shot.
It was thoughtful to include the f/g railings which give a sense of place.
Have a great day,
Bev :-)
kato (11630) 2013-12-09 3:55
Hello Farhat,
You're capturing well this crowd by a good panoramic view and excellent tone/clarity, so it's impressive to see a lot of spectators sitting on the seats of stadium in the Independence Day celebration. It's also impressive colorful clothes of them. And, the parasol shows the heat of this place.
Kind regards,
ikeharel (84988) 2013-12-09 8:40
Good evening Farhat,
very vibrant and vivid picture, the many people in multi-colors clothings and umbrellas, made this picture a magnificent composition.
Excelent clear image.

Hi Farhat,
This is a very successful shot of a wall of people. The sharpness and colors are exquisite. The composition is very skillful.

Hi Farhat
Now thats a people photo!! Haha
Did you even try to count them all up? :)
Its fun looking at all the colors, all the different styles of clothes and the occasional umbrella is neat too.
Clever composition
Works well

Hello Farhat
I notice the red and blue are favourite colors for clothing in West Bengal!
I'm disappointed for not seing any beer or hotdog sellers amongst this attentive gathering!
You dared something different and it's quite attractive.

EstudioChispa (2180) 2013-12-20 7:05
I am a confessed "people watcher." My wife and I will sit in an airport during a layover and watch the people stream by, and make up stories about them based on little clues we see. This image speaks directly to that part of me. I could hang this on my wall and have a different experience every time I looked at it!
Thanks for sharing!
Austin, Texas
adramad (52474) 2013-12-20 9:58
Hi Farhat.

Hello Farhat,
This is a great photo. The lines of people in bright colours and holding umbrellas makes a delightful pattern all underlined very well by the horizontal railings. Very well done.
Kind Regards, Ann

Namaste Farhat,
this panoramic framing is very efficient graphically, the crowd fills the composition with a lot of vitality and with a great colour variety.
You have had a good idea in this beautiful creation. Well done.

Online: For information about organizations that will help pet owners who can't pay their vet bills, go to sdshelters.com/assistance.html.For more information about Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue, go to yorkierescue.com
Sandra Lopez's joy at discovering she'd found her Yorkshire terrier at the El Cajon animal shelter turned to tears when she learned she couldn't afford to bring her dog home.
Lopez, a 51-year-old El Cajon resident, said she couldn't afford a $138 fee to retrieve her Yorkie, Sampson. The dog also needs several thousand dollars in veterinary care, so she reluctantly gave him up. He was turned over to a Yorkie rescue group.
El Cajon and other shelter operators say they are required to collect state-mandated fees and recoup their expenses, but will try to work with people who can't afford the expense. They say it's not unusual.
"We understand money is tight," said Dan DeSousa, a spokesman for the county Department of Animal Services, which operates three county shelters and shelters for six cities. "Our goal is to get the animal back to its owner."
Lopez wrote a letter about the dog's plight that appeared in Saturday's Our East edition of The San Diego Union-Tribune, and readers responded. About a dozen people showed up at the animal shelter Saturday morning, said Bryan Zmijewski, an El Cajon police sergeant who serves as animal control manager. Others called the shelter or wrote letters to the paper offering donations.
Lopez said in an interview that Sampson slipped out of her house Feb. 13. After a frantic night searching for him, she discovered the next morning he was being held in the El Cajon shelter.
She sobbed when she learned she had to pay a fee to get back her dog, who she found as a stray about eight years ago. Lopez works as an apartment manager in El Cajon, but her husband was laid off from his construction job in November. She said she has to scrimp to feed her family of four, including two teenagers.
"I honestly didn't have the extra money to get him out," she said. "It's just been terrible."
Zmijewski said the dog was unlicensed, had not been neutered or vaccinated, and did not have a microchip that would have identified his owner. He also suffers from dental and skin problems, he said.
Zmijewski said the $138 fee included a $35 state-mandated fine that is assessed by all shelters when an unneutered dog is picked up as a stray, plus impound and boarding fees. He said he was able to lower Lopez's fee to $88, but she was still unable to pay.
Lopez said she was told the dog might be euthanized if it remained at the shelter. Zmijewski said El Cajon runs a no-kill shelter, and an animal would only be euthanized if it suffered from severe medical or behavioral problems, which isn't the case with Sampson.
Zmijewski said Lopez could have retrieved her pet if she'd had the money, but would have gotten a notice requiring her to seek veterinary care for the dog. In those cases the shelter follows up and if an owner has not gotten treatment for the pet, animal control officers could seize it and in the most serious cases, could arrest the owner and charge him or her with animal cruelty, Zmijewski said.
Zmijewski said he's seen five or six cases in the past year in which animal owners didn't have the money to retrieve their pets. DeSousa said he wasn't sure exactly how many cases the county shelters have handled of owners who couldn't afford to pay.
DeSousa said county shelters typically charge between $100 and $120 to retrieve a stray unneutered dog.
"We can't make it so expensive that people say, 'I'm not going to get my dog,' but we can't make it so cheap that the county is losing money hand over fist," DeSousa said.
DeSousa said owners who have their dogs neutered by the department can claim them for $69, plus a $14 license.
Animal rescue organizations say in these tough economic times they're seeing more cases of animal owners who can't afford to pay for their pets' veterinary care. The groups have few financial resources to assist pet owners, said Darlene White, executive director of the San Diego Animal Support Foundation.
"We are all in a situation where there isn't a lot of money to be spread out," she said. "We have to be extremely picky in our decisions as to who we can and can't help."
When Lopez relinquished her dog, the Yorkie was turned over to Charlotte Potts, a Spring Valley volunteer for Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue.
"She loves this little guy, but she doesn't have the means to take care of him," said Potts, who is caring for the dog in her home until he is adopted. "We're sorry for her, but our interest is in seeing this dog in a forever home."
Potts said 14 donors have contributed more than $700 for Sampson's care at the Steele Canyon Veterinary Clinic in Jamul, and a Lakeside teacher agreed to pay for the dog's dental work.
Lopez, who also owns a Chihuahua and a Himalayan cat, said she's resigned herself to knowing that Sampson won't be returning to her home.
"It really is hard, but at least I know he's going to be taken care of," she said. "He's always going to be a part of us."

Autoweek's Al Pearce, upper right, will be among photos of veterans covering the Stewart Haas Racing Team's Chevy Impala this weekend in Phoenix.
NASCAR: Autoweek's Al Pearce among those featured in Stewart Haas Racing's Veterans Day tribute
November 10, 2011
In honor of Veterans Day, NASCAR driver Ryan Newman and his Stewart Haas Team will this weekend race their No. 39 Chevrolet Impala at Phoenix International Raceway with a somewhat-unusual livery.
The team invited Vietnam veterans to submit black-and-white photos taken during their time in-country. The car features upward of 350 photos covering every available inch of bodywork. Among the Vietnam veterans on the hood is Autoweek's own longtime NASCAR correspondent Al Pearce, whose three-year Army hitch included 13 months (March 1967-April 1968) in Vietnam.

wikiHow to Make Glow‐in‐the‐Dark Glue
Do you love glow in the dark sticks and would like to use the same technique in glue? This article may help you make the special glue that can "light up your night".
1Take a stick of special glow-in-the-dark chalk and place it into a bag..
2Smash and grind the chalk until it reaches a chalky-like consistency. You might even need to use a mortar and pestle to grind it enough.
- If it doesn't break the first time, you may need to slam it with a large piece of concrete or a hammer. (This is a good place to take out any anger you have in you).
4Mix together the wheat paste flour and your glow-in-the-dark chalk/powder, outside the cooking utensil you used.
5Stir the mixture until the chalk dust has combined with the paste.
6Let the mixture cool for about 15 minutes.
7Take out the mixture and place it back into the bag.
8Test out your creation, to make sure it glows just right. Test it inside a lit area, then take it into darkness and see if it glows. You may need to add more chalk-dust the next time.
9Use the glue, whenever and wherever you see fit.
Community Q&A
Where I can find Glow-in-the-Dark chalk?wikiHow ContributorIf this is for use in glue, avoid the chalk as it will clump and dry the glue. Instead track down the glow in the dark paints, which can be found in most craft stores and online. They have a very similar polymer base, so in most cases they should blend quite well.
Unanswered Questions
Can I use normal glue and not put wheat flour?

- Never use Glow-in-the-Dark Liquid on the stove, as the glow in the dark liquid can cause fires, as the liquids used are flammable.

The last time New Kids on the Block released an album was in 2008, and the late 80s/early 90s superstars' first comeback LP was not entirely their own. "The Block," which followed a 14-year hiatus for the vocal group responsible for hits like "Hangin' Tough" and "You Got It (The Right Stuff)," was stuffed with collaborations, including guest appearances by Ne-Yo, Timbaland, New Edition, Akon, the Pussycat Dolls and a then-little-known Lady Gaga.SOURCE: BILLBOARD
"The Block" has sold an impressive 332,000 copies to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan, but follow-up "10," released through Kobalt on Tuesday (Apr. 2), finds NKOTB singing with a singular vision -- that is, with nary a vocal collaborator on the entire LP. For Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Danny Wood and Donnie Wahlberg, the first NKOTB album with all the members firmly in their 40s is a delightfully close-knit showcase.
"What happened was that we were on a big label, Interscope Records, and all those people were right there, ready to collaborate," Jordan Knights tells Billboard of the process that made "The Block's" performing credits swell. " We're on an independent label now, and we felt that we owed it to the fans to just collaborate with the five guys. There's more singing from Danny and John on this album. We've gone back home on this album -- we're true to our roots, and it's less 'Let's be cool, let's go to the club, let's be on pop radio.' We were like, 'Let's just give the fans what they want, and put a twist on it.' And that's what we've done."
Instead of relying on flashy guest stars, "10" finds NKOTB working with Deekay, a five-person Danish production team now based in Los Angeles. After hearing one instrumental from Deekay (which would eventually turn into the single "Remix (I Like The)," the New Kids "met up with those guys and started searching their hard drive for music," says Knight.
After three months of working with Deekay breezed by, a full album was completed, and in late January "Remix (I Like The)" was floated out as the first single. Although the single has sold only 23,000 downloads according to Nielsen SoundScan, the song's sleek, hilarious music video has earned 446,000 views in less than a month's time. The story of a "lonely wallflower" who cuts extremely loose at a hoity-toity party, the clip features the NKOTB guys as suited love crooners, and has been (rightly) hailed as one of the more inventive music videos released thus far in 2013.
"The song has a 60s vibe to it, and that's what you see in the video," says Knight. "The song's about just being confident -- 'sexy' isn't really 'sexy,' 'confidence' is what brings about 'sexiness,' and that's the message being portrayed in the video."
Two years after New Kids on the Block united with Backstreet Boys for the co-headlined NKOTBSB tour, the boy band will join Boyz II Men and the recently reunited 98 Degrees for this summer's "The Package" tour, kicking off on May 28 in Uncasville, Conn. Along with the live debut of their "10" material, the "Package" tour will find NKOTB performing on a stage set up in the center of arenas, "so everyone will have a good seat," Knight says with a laugh.
The upcoming tour also marks 98 Degrees' first extended tour in nearly a decade, and although Knight says that he and his band mates have yet to discuss the matter too much with their future touring mates, he can assure that the quartet has nothing to worry about. "There's a lot of stigma on teen heartthrobs and boy bands, that they're just a flash-in-the-pan," he says. "And if you don't listen to that criticism, you can actually keep on going. I'm proud of us for doing that. We've showed group like 98 Degrees what's possible."

Infineon to focus on application expertise, Ziebart says
Post a comment
MUNICH, Germany After the spin-off of the company's memory division, Infineon CEO Wolfgang Ziebart intends to intensify the application orientation of the remaining part of the semiconductor company. At the same time, Ziebart again justified the memory carve-out.
During a press conference Thursday (Sept. 28), the manager explained the company's strategic positioning. The spin-off of Infineon's memory section as Qimonda was the right decision, Ziebart said. "If a business is different in character, I think it should be separated."
"The Qimonda IPO took place in a tough time but the share price development shows that the market esteems Qimonda", Ziebart said. Since the IPO, Qimonda shares climbed about 20 percent. Infineon still owns 86 percent of the Qimonda shares.
Ziebart explained how the company's Dresden facilities, formerly owned exclusively by Infineon, now are divided by the two companies. According to Ziebart, Qimonda now owns the Dresden 300mm fab as well as Infineon's share of the Center for Nanoelectronic Technologies (CNT) the company ran together with AMD and Fraunhofer Gesellschaft. Also the Dresden mask center, a joint venture of Infineon with AMD and Toppan Photomasks, has been handed over to Qimonda, he said.
The company's 200-mm production line which presently is used at about equal shares for memory and logic chip production will remain with Infineon and gradually converted to a pure logic manufacturing line.
With the Qimonda spin-off, Infineon slipped in the semiconductor industry ranking. While the combined entity was the sixth largest semiconductor manufacturer worldwide, the "New Infineon", as Ziebart called it, now ranks 11th; Qimonda is on place 18.
The change in ranking will not have any negative consequences for the company, Ziebart hopes. "We are far beyond the critical size for the semiconductor business", Ziebart explained. "If one is beyond this threshold, it becomes much more important to focus on a certain business segment. The main driver for the 'economies of scale' is engineering expertise, not the sheer size."
While the memory business is process-centric, the logic business - which, by Infineon's definition, includes analog and power electronics - is customer-centric, Ziebart explained. "In the analog / mixed signal business, design is much closer connected to manufacturing than in the purely memory business", he said. For this part of the business, Infineon intents to keep running own fabs and investing in process development. For products that are purely digital like microcontrollers, the company will rely on foundry services. "This gives us more flexibility and helps us to avoid costly investments into fabs", Ziebart explained.
Automotive electronics will be one of the most important market segments to Infineon. Especially in the emerging hybrid drive technology Ziebart sees many business opportunities, since in this market segment, digital controls are as important as power electronics. Ziebart regards both areas as central to Infineon's competency spectrum. In this context, the company's newest power devices fab in Kulim, Malaysia, has a strategic part. "We have first customer product now, five months ahead of schedule", Ziebart rejoiced.
The revenue achieved through future Qimonda share sales will probably be used for investments in new developments in the areas of energy efficiency, mobility, safety and security, Ziebart explained, with security products being presently one of Infineon's remaining problem children because it was not possible to stop margin erosion, even though Infineon's market share of 35 percent is bigger than the next two competitors combined. "But this business is more than chip cards. It includes devices for digital rights management (DRM) and trusted module platform modules", Ziebart said.
The other problem child is the baseband chip area - especially now, after BenQ Mobile as one of Infineon's largest customers has filed insolvency. Nevertheless Ziebart downplayed the significance of the bad news, saying that the company already has succeeded in attracting new customers. "With BenQ Mobile we achieved less than 5 percent of our sales", Ziebart said. But wasn't BenQ Mobile Infineon's largest single wireless customer? "No", Ziebart said, "this is Nokia".

Was out late Halloween partying last night. My Husband was Dresden (he's geeky and cute) and I was a gothic lolita doll with a petticoat that made my butt impossible to get through doorways and sit down. Ate too much candy and my sweet tooth is still going, hoping this Salted Caramel tea will hit the spot!
DRY: Looks like all the fun bits of this tea settled onto the bottom of my package! Smells salty, caramelly toffee!
STEEPED: Bold, coffee like, but toffee sweet aroma. Little bit of film on the top of the tea and black debris on the bottom that my Steeper didn't pick up.
TASTE: Strong, deep, bold black tea taste. Small caramel aftertaste. I get faint salt taste end of sip. Not astringent, but bitterness starting to emerge. Not picking up the coconut.
Sweetened, the caramel comes out a bit more.
COMMENTS: Hmmm, I was hoping this would taste like how it smells, but not enough caramel, salt or creamyness for me to fully enjoy this tea, but I am a flavor freak. The black tea is rich, so I think a coffee drinker would enjoy this tea.

|To visit Glacier National Park is to enter a place were Heaven touches earth affording brief glimpses into the Wonders of Creation.
Overview:Due to its location Mount Henry played an important role during the days of trail rides in Glacier National Park. In fact prior to World War Two there was a large bell on its summit that hikers could ring. For more information on the trail rides see A Historical Look at Glacier's Horse Trails.
Jack Holterman, in Place Names of Glacier National Park, suggests that Mount Henry was named for Alexander Henry, who explored the area between Montreal and Lake Superior to across the plains of Manitoba, Sasketchawan and Alberta to the area near Oregon.
Willard Schultz wrote that Mount Henry was called "Chief Bear" or "Bear Chief" who was around these parts in the 1830s. Bear Chief lead a small party of Blackfeet who reportedly killed 45 Salish as well as 2 French-Canadian. A portrait of Bear Chief was painted by the famous artist Bodmer.
Layout designed for best viewing on a "1024 x 768" screen.
An enjoyable day with incredible views into the Nyack and Two Medicine Valleys and a ridge walk to summit three of Glacier's named peaks.
Mount Henry is part of The Scenic Point Ridge Walk and according to J. Gordon Edwards is "a route that covers 13 miles of exhilarating open country." This route crosses three named Glacier Park Peaks which include Mt. Henry and Appistoki Peak as well as Medicine Mountain.
At an elevation of 8,847 feet Mount Henry is not one of Glacier's more well known peaks but climbing Mount Henry produces rewards such as a unique views and a fantastic ridgewalk through meadows of flowers.
Getting There:
Glacier National Park, the crown of the continent, is located in northwestern Montana and shares a border with Waterton International Peace Park in Canada. The Scenic Point Ridge Walk is located in the Two Medicine Valley in the southeastern corner on Glacier National Park.
Driving Instructions From East Glacier, Montana: After reaching East Glacier, Montana on Highway 2 and travel 4 miles North on State Highway 49 to the Two Medicine turnoff. The Scenic Point Trailhead is approximately 8.5 miles from the Highway 49 Junction. The trail to Scenic Point is clearly marked on Glacier Road Map.
Driving Instructions From St. Mary's, Montana: Travel south on Highway 89 to Kiowa Junction, turn right on to Highway 49 and continue 9 miles to the Two Medicine turnoff. The Scenic Point Trailhead is approximately 8.5 miles from the Highway 49 Junction. The trail to Scenic Point is clearly marked on Glacier Road Map.
Go to road information for road conditions, road repairs and delay schedules as well as estimated opening information.

For all the Rules and Regulations governing Glacier National Park look at the Rules and Regulations.
It is not necessary to register for day climbs in Glacier National Park but it is recommended. Backcountry travel regulations can be found at Backcountry Travel. There is also information from the Park Service on Mountain Climbing in Glacier.
As with all hiking and climbing in Glacier National Park use caution and practice good manners with the wildlife. You are in bear country. Carry your bear deterrent spray, don't hike alone and make some noise. For more information please go to the Park's website for Bear Information. The U.S. Forest Service also has helpful information on Grizzly Bear Management.
Route Information:
Volume Two of Climb Glacier National Park has details on Mount Henry and suggested routes. It can be ordered at Climb Glacier National Park.
Mount Henry and the Scenic Point ridge Walk are featured in Edwards' "Routes Among The Peaks" on pages 315-316 in A Climber's Guide to Glacier National Park. Edwards states in his guidebook that the trip should take about 10 hours. It also crosses unnamed peaks and allows access for other peaks in the area such as Mount Ellsworth on an extended ridge walk.
Mount Henry sits at the head of Appistoki Creek and has an imposing face that rises over 1,700 feet above the valley floor.
Total elevation gained from the trailhead is 3,867 feet to the summit of Mt. Henry. To reach the summit of Appistoki Peak it is necessary descend 1,000 feet in elevation before gaining 500 feet again.
There are at least three common options used to reach the summit of Mount Henry.
The most common and perhaps most scenic is the Scenic Point Ride Walk. There are two possible ways to reach the summit of Mount Henry. The least technical is Scenic Point Ridge Walk - Gully Route. The second route entails a Class 4 scramble over the arete directly to the east of Mount Henry. This route, the Scenic Point Ridge Walk-Arete Route, is enjoyable and there is some "pleasant" eposure.
The other option The Appistoki Creek Route is to leave the Scenic Point Trail at the switchback above Appistoki Falls and achieve the saddle between Appistoki Peak and the unnamed peak to the west. A good game/climber's trail leads up to the base of the unnamed peak and then east through some enjoyable scree fields and cliffs to the summit of Mount Henry. This route will demand more elevation gain and loss as compared to the Scenic Point Ridge Walk.
When To Climb and Weather:
It is possible to complete the Scenic Point Ridge Walk during most months of the year. It would be necessary to ski or snowshoe to this route after the roads close. Roads in the Two Medicine area typically open in the late spring. Click here for Glacier Park Road Status. Alpinists will experience a higher degree of challenge earlier and later in the season. Glacier Park roads close at a moments notice due to poor road conditions and snowfall.
The east side of Glacier Park is notorious for strong winds up to 100 miles per hour being clocked. Winds in East Glacier, Montana just off the continental divide have been strong enough to knock railroad cars off of bridges. Most days in the summer and fall are not that extreme. Check out Glacier Park's what's new page road conditions and the usual happenings at Glacier National Park. For current weather see Glacier Park Weather.
Essential Gear and Camping:
This is a dry route until descending off of Appistoki so take water for the trip. Hiking poles will aide in your ascent and descent while working through Glacier's wonderful scree! If an early season climb is made an ice axe and crampons may be needed to cross snowfields.
There is a park campground at Two Medicine
Other options for camping include: GNP Campground Information, USFS Campgrounds, Camping on the Blackfeet Reservation or East Glacier Campgrounds

first time reviewing autechre. its scary and i probably said dumb things because i am relatively inexperienced when it comes to electronic music, but i gave it a shot anyways

it read ok to me but i dont know much about electronic music, pos'd neway

Album Rating: 4.5underrated stuff here, it contains one of my all time favourite electronic songs. Second Bad Vibel is immense, and I know that the godspeed thing was a joke but they use instrumentation on that song that sounds exactly like the Slow Moving Trains from F# A#. I honestly think it's conceivable that this era of Autechre work (early stuff, with Tri Repetae being the pinnacle) influenced gybe's sound, if only a little bit.
yeah that note in second bad vilbel reminds me of a Shepard tone stopped short, which was used in east hastings to its full effect
i dont know if id draw links to this and godspeed though, but regardless all four tracks here are some of the best in autechre's early discography

Western Mass. Officials Really Don't Want Unaccompanied Migrant Children There
Governor Deval Patrick's defense of the state's plan to temporarily provide shelter for hundreds of unaccompanied children who entered the United States illegally is being met with varying responses from some leaders around Massachusetts.
In particular, though, officials from Western Mass., where Gov. Patrick named Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee as a potential site, seemed to react the most vehemently. The other option is to house the children, ages 3 to 17, at Joint Base Cape Cod in Bourne, Gov. Patrick said.
Chicopee's Mayor Richard Kos led the offensive against Patrick's decision with a press conference shortly after the two sites were announced, saying "it makes no sense'' in part because "security issues and maintaining normal operations'' could be compromised at Westover Air Reserve Base.
The city's City Council president, George R. Moreau, was a bit more ominous in his assessment, reported The Boston Globe.
"There is nothing to say that once these kids are housed there, they can't leave there and come into the cities and towns,'' Moreau said. "They're not going to be held there by barbed wire.''
Gov. Patrick had previously said that wherever the children are placed "would be secure 'without being a jail.'''
Other area officials echoed the sentiments of the Chicopee politicians.
Domenec Sarno, the Mayor of nearby Springfield, said bringing the children to Westover will put a "burden'' on his city, reported WGGB in Springfield.
"We are struggling to take care of our own children and families here in Springfield. Many of whom live near and/or under the poverty level.''
"If we cannot properly provide services for these illegal migrants, then what have we accomplished, except once again, we are concentrating poverty on top of poverty in our urban centers,'' Sarno adds.
A State Senate candidate from Cape Cod reacted by reportedly planning a protest on Saturday in Western Mass. to oppose any undocumented children being housed at either location.
Ron Beaty, a Republican from West Barnstable, called Gov. Patrick's plan "ill-advised, fiscally irresponsible and possibly unconstitutional,'' and threatened more protests if either of the sites are ultimately chosen.
Both of Massachusetts' US Senators, Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, said it was a humanitarian issue and offered their support to Gov. Patrick, reported MassLive.
Sen. Warren said "we need to do everything we can to make sure [the children] are not harmed or in danger,'' while Sen. Markey alluded to the temporary nature of Gov. Patrick's plan: "We have to take humane, reasonable steps to help and protect [the children] while we process them for the next step.''
Steven M. Lamarche, Superintendent of Bourne Public Schools took a cautiously optimistic approach to the situation, saying in a statement that "if Joint Base Cape Cod is selected I am confident that we will do what we can to support these children.''
Since last fall, more than 50,000 such children have been detained and federal officials have asked certain states to help house them.
Camp Edwards is part of an expansive military reservation on Cape Cod that took in evacuees from Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Bow Wow Drops New Freestyle 'New York, New York'
Subscribe to Power 95.9 on
The no longer "lil" Bow Wow has made a pretty long-lasting career for himself and in his new freestyle video for the song 'New York New York,' he's not afraid to brag about it.
Set against a white backdrop, the host of BET's '106 & Park' raps a few bars over Tha Dogg Pound's 'New York, New York' while wearing shades and blowing smoke at the water-covered camera lens. He gives a shout out to his Uncle Snoop before he moves into his freestyle.
"F— with me," he says at the start of the track. "I ain't nothing like these other 26-year-old dudes / See I done sold more records and f—ed more bitches / Been in the game the longest and I'm still the richest."
Bow Wow is all grown up and talking about the women he fancies, fame and money. Doesn't it bring a tear to the eye?

Erich von Tschermak-Seysenegg was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1871. His father was a mineralogist, Gustav Tschermak von Seysenegg, and his grandfather, Eduard Fenzl, was a botanist, who, at one point, taught Gregor Mendel. He studied agriculture at the University of Vienna, and worked on a farm to gain agricultural experience. Tschermak received his doctorate from the University of Halle, Germany, in 1896. He then accepted a teaching position in Vienna at the Academy of Agriculture in 1901, and became professor there five years later, in 1906.
Prior to working at the Academy of Agriculture in Vienna, Tschermak began breeding experiments with garden peas at the Botanical Garden of Ghent, Belgium, and then in garden at the Imperial Family's Foundation at Esslingen, near Vienna. Using 3,580 yellow peas and 1,190 green peas, Tschermak found that the second filial generation ratio of dominant to recessive was 3 to 1. While reading Mendel's work, Tschermak realized that not only did his experiments involve repeat crosses between yellow and green peas, but also that his results were identical to the 1866 results of Mendel.
Tschermak's discovery in 1900 of Mendel's work coincided with the independent findings of two other scientists. Dutch botanist Hugo De Vries published his results in March 1900, and German botanist Carl Correns presented his report on April 24, 1900; like Tschermak, both botanists had found copies of Mendel's work and referred to it when writing the results of their experiments with plant breeding. Tschermak, De Vries, and Correns fully credited Mendel
for first reaching the same conclusions and secured the historical impact of Mendel's research on the fields of genetics and heredity.
Tschermak derived Mendel's laws of inheritance from his plant experiments. Tschermak was a plant breeder, and his experiments were done with the idea of improving crops using the laws of heredity. He produced high-yielding food...

FDA on nanotechnology: Size matters, but it's not everything ...
But it has not come up with a legal definition of nanomaterials (yet), says the FDA.
"The draft guidance does not establish a regulatory definition of the term 'nanotechnology' or any related vocabulary. Over time, we plan to issue more specific guidances tailored to particular products or classes of products."
When considering whether an FDA-regulated product contains nanomaterials or involves the application of nanotechnology, FDA will in future ask:
- Whether an engineered material or end product has at least one dimension in the nanoscale range (1 - 100 nanometers).
- Whether an engineered material or end product exhibits properties or phenomena, including physical or chemical properties or biological effects attributable to its dimensions, even if these fall outside the nanoscale range, up to one micrometer.
These considerations will apply not only to new products, but also where manufacturing changes alter the dimensions, properties or effects of a material or its components, says the FDA.
Legal minefield
Agreeing on a legal definition of nanomaterials that satisfies food manufacturers, regulators, enforcement bodies and consumers has proved challenging on both sides of the Atlantic, however.
If a definition concentrates on size alone, it will encompass a vast swathe of perfectly innocuous and naturally-occurring nanomaterials in products from milk to chocolate, confusing shoppers without serving any useful purpose, point out food manufacturers.
But building a definition around 'insoluble', 'manufactured', or 'engineered' nanoparticles is also problematic because of the difficulty of pinning down the precise meaning of these terms, argue lawyers.
Even definitions based on whether nanomaterials behave 'significantly' differently to their normal-sized counterparts raise similar issues (what's the definition of 'significantly'?)
Even agreeing on how to measure such tiny materials is a thorny issue owing to the unusual shape and structure of many nanoparticles. And as particle sizes in many materials are rarely consistent, many substances contain some particles on the nanoscale, and some that are not.
Meanwhile, the cost and complexity of the equipment needed to examine materials at this scale – atomic force or scanning electron microscopes, for example – makes enforcement expensive and challenging.
Unilever: Nano labels must be meaningful and specific
In a round table debate on nanotechnology facilitated by the UK's Food Standards Agency last year, Unilever R&D director, regulatory affairs, consumer confidence and sustainability, Charles-Francois Gaudefroy, said several factors needed to be taken into account when coming up with a worakable definition of a nanomaterial.
"[It must take into account] particle size; deliberate engineering; digestibility for nanomaterials used in foods and solubility in conditions of use for materials used in home/personal care products; the characteristic properties of the nanomaterial compared to its non-nano forms."
As for nano labels, it was important to establish their purpose before ploughing ahead, he stressed: "We support labelling provisions where they provide meaningful specific information to consumers."
Nanotechnology in food
Nanotechnology promises an exciting range of benefits to consumers from the targeted release of nutrients to antimicrobial biofilms and lighter-weight packaging able to block out oxygen, carbon dioxide and moisture.
Other interesting applications include nano-sensors that could detect pathogens, nano-encapsulation of natural food colours and other bioactives, and nanocellulose for moister bread, crispier crackers and juicier meat products.

Medical contract for jail weighed
Although he was not on the agenda at last week's Douglas County Board meeting, Sheriff Troy Wolbersen went before the commissioners with two issues.
His first issue was to ask the commissioners to approve a $500 donation to the sheriff's office from Rick and Connie Rosengren. Wolbersen said the donation was earmarked for water safety equipment.
The board approved the donation.
The second issue was to have the board approve a nursing contract for the jail with a new company - MEnD Correctional Care.
The company, according to jail administrator Jackie Notch, offers everything the jail needs.
Dr. Todd Leonard, who is the doctor/owner of MEnD Correctional Care, would do a clinic at the Douglas County Jail at least once a week, which would mean that inmates wouldn't have to be transported out of the jail for doctor appointments, according to Notch.
In addition, Leonard would take care of the majority of mental health needs for the inmates.
Leonard would be the jail's medical director, which he currently is for both the Sherburne County Jail and the Mille Lacs County Jail.
Wolbersen told the commissioners that by having a contract with Dr. Leonard, it would be a cost-savings to the county.
The cost for the new contract with MEnD Correctional Care would be $142,500, noted Wolbersen, who also added that the company wants a four-year contract, but that he could maybe negotiate a two-year contract.
Commissioner Norm Salto said that he attended the interview with the company and was impressed.
"After what he presented, there could be a considerable amount of savings here," said Salto.
After a lengthy discussion about the issue of the new medical contract for the jail, the commissioners accepted the proposal - on a 3-1 vote - with a contingency to negotiate the contract. Commissioner Jerry Johnson voted against it.
The contract will be brought back to the commissioners for approval at their Tuesday, January 5 meeting.

Apparently, the reality of the NFL lockout can only do so much to slow down an NFC East rivalry.
If you frequent this blog, there's a good chance you've heard about the verbal sparring match that's been going on for a few weeks, off and on, between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants. It started when Eagles running back LeSean McCoy Tweeted that he thought Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora was "soft."
Since then, Umenyiora has responded (comparing McCoy to a girl, among other things) and New York receiver Steve Smith has weighed in as well. Now, Justin Tuck has thrown in his two cents, and unsurprisingly, he disagrees with not only McCoy's opinion, but the platform he used to express it.
"I honestly think social media has made people cowards," Tuck said recently, per Philly.com. "Where I'm from, if you had a problem with somebody, you said it to their face and that was it. I think now people are hiding behind computers and smartphones to get out something they got on their chest."
As for Umenyiora being soft, Tuck just thinks that's outright untrue--and again, he doesn;t appreciate McCoy saying as much.
"Yes, we will take that personally," Tuck said. "He might want to watch some film before he starts talking about a defensive end of Osi's quality. I don't know where he would say something of that nature because obviously I think Osi's stats back up the fact that he's a pretty good NFL football player."
