One down, three to go.
GO YOU!!!! I have an AltLivia, Goodwill put together cosplay I am testing at the Vancouver Fan Expo. I'm super excited and nervous about it. But I can't wait to see how it goes. I want to see some Lincolns. :D I am glad that he's getting some Cosplay love by you! I salute you, sir!
Oh love to the cosplayers. That's Matt Holden as Ten and Matt Elliot as Eleven. Check them out on FB. They're great guys!
I made my three-year-old niece her first convention/Halloween costume this year. If you ask her who she is dressed as, she'll reply, "Tiny Princess Captain America!"
On Halloween, we discovered that if you point to a kid in a Captain America costume and ask her who he's dressed as, she will also reply, "Tiny Princess Captain America!"
ETA: I just added a post about how to make Tiny Princess Captain America!
From here on out, Steve shall be known as "Tiny Princess Captain America." If Tiny Princess Captain America says they're all Tiny Princess Captain America, who am I to argue?
I adore that little tiara.
This is the most adorable thing. Look at her!
This makes me smile so fucking much.
I picture Tony being more than happy to call Steve "Tiny princess Captain America." With or without being prompted to do so.
I picture Steve being perfectly okay with it, especially after the day he runs into Tiny Princess Captain America, trick-or-treating in the city along with a bunch of other kids. And she kinda stops in the crowd, and gets this great big smile on her face, and bolts down the sidewalk and up to him, and she just can't say anything because she's just in AWE.
So Steve crouches down and says, "You look just like me!", and she beams even brighter, as if that's even possible. Then Steve remembers that time Thor told him about how much he loves his little-girl fans, and how when he meets them he lets them "hold" Mjolnir, and also Steve thinks about Thor's room full of little girl drawings at Stark Tower. (Yes, I *did* just manage to connect this with that Littlest Thor Fangirl post that went around a while ago.) Normally Steven doesn't get recognized quite like the rest of the Avengers when he's not in uniform except by elderly folks who remember him from the old days, but since the attack on New York, plenty of younger people and kids spot him on the street out of uniform and know him, just like this little girl.
So Steve asks, "What's your name?" To which she finally says, "Tiny Princess Captain America!" And he laughs, and then whispers, "I meant your secret identity." So she tells him, and gives him a big hug, and then runs off to rejoin the other trick-or-treaters.
A week later, she gets a letter in the mail from Stark Tower, and when she opens it she gasps, because it's a drawing of Captain America and Tiny Princess Captain America fighting bad guys and saving the world together.
I had to.
And now, a response from Tiny Princess Captain America, via her mom:
"She was HILARIOUS when I gave her a printout of the fanart. The first thing she asked was, "What am I doing with my elbow?" Then there were more questions such as, "What are we doing?", "Are the bad guys sort of like pasta?", "Is he poking me?", and "Why isn't he wearing a dress?" This went on for about half an hour. You know how she is. But she absolutely loved it and it is now standing up on her art easel.
"She decided she wanted to draw a picture for the nice person who drew a picture for her. Tiny Princess Captain America is helping Big Tiny Princess Captain America fight the bad guys all around them. They are both holding their shields and TPCA of course has her signature dress of ruffly tiers. Bonus random balloon, too.
"Next up she decided that she wanted to draw TPCA's friend Tiny Princess Thor, helping Big Tiny Princess Thor fight the bad guys. This time they have some helpers - butterflies, puppies, and ballet dancers."

http://english.vovnews.vn/Home/A-far-cry-from-the-true-situation-in-Vietnam/20095/104127.vov In its recently released annual report, the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has recommended that Vietnam be designated as a country of particular concern, reasoning that the country still prohibits, monitors and discriminates religious activities, including Christianity. However, the recommendation does not reflect the true situation in Vietnam. Tags: |

Recipe by Pillsbury® Pizza Crust
"Refrigerated pizza crust provides a quick base to this cheesy ground beef and veggies pizza - a scrumptious family dinner idea!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (11 ounce) can Pillsbury® refrigerated thin pizza crust
1 pound lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1 (15.5 ounce) can original sloppy joe sauce
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 medium green onions, sliced
I just made this and ate a couple slices and it was great! Reminded me of elementary school-style pizza I had growing up. I used extra lean beef and a shredded cheddar/mozzarella combo. Great!
I loved this sloppy joe pizza. I had some leftover sloppy joes and needed to do something new and different with it. This was great! I added a little barbecue sauce. I left off the sliced tomatoes as I don't like them. This would work for taco meat instead of sloppy joes or just plain hamburger and some onion for a cheeseburger pizza. The possiblilities are only limited by your imagination with this one.

Hard work, faith shape Sowards' vision for America
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Greg Sowards is a hard worker and a man of faith who has never been afraid to take on the establishment or forge his own path.
This is the last of four profiles of the U.S. Senate candidates that seek to tell the stories of who they are and what shaped them.
Greg Sowards has gotten much of what he wanted from life, and he attributes that primarily to hard work.
He has a big family that has always been frugal, which gave him the money he needed to tinker with ideas, apply for patents and invest in business opportunities. He's held side jobs when necessary. Once he worked as a runner for UPS during the Christmas season.
His success helped shape the vision he's long held for changing America. It's a vision that, in many ways, looks like views held by today's Tea Party, but he's been pushing it for a long time.
Sowards decided to challenge then-U.S. Rep. Joe Skeen in the 1996 Republican primary largely because he was concerned about the growing national debt. It was then that Sowards developed a list of questions he's been promising to use as a test for whether he will vote on legislation:
Is it worth putting our children and grandchildren into debt? What effect does it have on America's traditional family? Does it take rights away from law-abiding citizens and give them to criminals? Does it strengthen and uphold the U.S. Constitution? Does it protect the sovereignty of America?
Sowards didn't defeat Skeen, but he now says not even he expected that to happen. He did win 30 percent of the vote. He ran again for the seat in 2008, getting into a five-way primary in which two opponents had lots of help from national political action committees. Sowards finished fourth that year. He likes to point out that he came within two percentage points of finishing second.
Now he's back on the ballot as a Republican U.S. Senate candidate. And though the odds are overwhelmingly in Heather Wilson's favor in the GOP primary, Sowards remains focused and determined.
That's who he is. Sowards is a true believer in the cause. He's a hard worker and a man of faith. He's never been afraid to take on the establishment or forge his own path.
'I always worked'
Until he was 14, Sowards lived in the Northeast Heights of Albuquerque, which at the time was the edge of the city. Then his family moved to a small farm and ranch they owned in Los Lunas, where they raised cattle.
"I always worked," Sowards said. "My dad taught me to work."
After high-school graduation, Sowards went to New Mexico Military Institute, which he said was a difficult transition "because I was not used to being told what to do."
He started boxing, gained some respect from his classmates and people in Roswell, and, he said, kept a smile on his face.
Then, for a time, he worked as a machinist in Albuquerque. His father was also a machinist.
In 1969, Sowards received his military draft notice. He intended to get a student deferment and was told it would take two months to kick in. So in September 1969 and in a bit of limbo, he set out on his motorcycle on a trip across the Northwestern United States and Canada. On the way back he stopped in Colorado to stay with a friend who was attending college and worked for a time loading squash onto trucks.
The student deferment was not meant to be. After Sowards returned to Albuquerque, the December 1969 draft lottery made clear he was joining the military. Rather than waiting to be called up, he enlisted.
Sowards was on active duty for three years. He spent a few months in Alabama working with the National Bureau of Standards. Then, during the Vietnam War, he was sent to Korea. He didn't see combat.
But his military service and the Vietnam War helped shape his views on the problems with the U.S. government. Sowards, who was unmarried at the time, says he told friends shortly after returning from Korea that, "If we were serious about winning the war in Vietnam, I would reenlist so that some married man back in the states would not have to – but we are not serious."
Settling down
Sowards returned to Albuquerque, enrolled at the University of New Mexico and met Karen, who would become his wife. It was at that time that Sowards, who grew up involved in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, decided to make a more active commitment to the church.
Karen had recently joined the church, and Sowards said he "fought my way back." That battle he said, including changing friends, but he didn't go into a lot of detail about that period in his life.
He did say the group of friends he hung out with during his earlier years in college used to speculate about whether he would someday run for Congress, but he eventually "broke away from that group."
"It was a time of change. People were looking for something… and they didn't know where to find it," Sowards said when asked about that group. "I just decided I wanted to settle down, get married."
Which he and Karen did. He later transferred to Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, to finish his teaching degree.
On graduation day, Sowards was in a cap and gown with two sons in his arms. Today he and Karen have six adult children and 20 grandchildren.
'Not everybody has the fortitude'
From there Sowards moved to Amarillo, Texas, where he taught at a school for troubled boys. Then he moved to Missouri, where he started a business and taught school. In 1987, he and his family moved to Las Cruces, where Karen had lived as a teenager.
Sowards taught school for one year in Las Cruces before he and his wife started their child-care business that, today, has six centers in the Las Cruces area, employs 75 people and cares for more than 600 children.
Along the way, Sowards was awarded five U.S. patents. He invented Kwik Kik, a soccer-training device.
Sowards is proud of his patents and says they are indicative of his work ethic and determination.
"A lot of people have ideas, but not everybody has the fortitude to stick with it," he said.
A vision for America
Today, Sowards says his faith is an integral part of his life.
"It's been great for me. I say whatever works for somebody in their life, then that's wonderful. But it has worked for me," he said. "My children are all active, and my grandchildren, I know where they'll be Sundays. And that's nice. I think that's something that, in today's world, is reassuring."
Sowards' vision for America stems largely from his work ethic and his faith. He envisions a very limited federal government and much of the work that needs to be done taking place on a local level – through local and state governments, churches and other organizations, and through the dedication and sacrifice of people who have worked hard and have something to give back.
Such a societal structure, he believes, would create a shared sense of purpose in communities and force them to solve their own problems. He said that, not federal subsidies and entitlements, will help eliminate poverty and other ills.
"In working hard, you realize there are fruits to working hard. Those fruits are yours, or should be," he said. "Then there's room for compassion, but that's up to you. Your relationship with God is what shapes your compassion, your desire to be compassionate with your goods and services."
That's the opposite of how Washington approaches things, Sowards said.
"They feel compassionate when they hang on to their money but distribute other people's money. They call that compassion," he said. "I don't see that as compassion. I see that as extortion, and it's all for their glory."
Sowards promised that he won't be bought by that system if elected.
"I will not come back to New Mexico and explain to those I love most, and that is my family, how I was won over by Washington, how I sold out," he said. "That I will not do."
'We're all looking for leadership'
Why has Sowards continued to challenge the status quo in the GOP and America by running for office? He's passionate about what he believes are true, conservative principles society should follow. He considers them critical to the future of America.
"I love America. I love the freedoms that we have," he said. "We're the envy of the Earth and I think we're in a position that we could lose it if we don't change the kind of people that we send to Washington."
Sowards said his children and wife has also pushed him to continue running. Like him, they're hard workers and true believers. Sowards has invested a great deal of his own money over the years in his races. He believes he can help change America.
"We're primed as a nation, we're all looking for leadership, and I believe I'll provide that," he said. "I guess that's what compels me."
A prior version of this article incorrectly quoted Sowards as saying "My children are all active, and my grandchildren, I know where they'll be someday" rather than "I know where they'll be Sundays."

Cord Blood Stem Cells Save Lives
The power to heal
Nothing is more important than protecting the health of your family. A healthy future starts with saving – or "banking" – your newborn's cord blood stem cells. It's a one-time opportunity that can change or even save a life.
What are stem cells?
Stem cells are the building blocks of the body, and have the ability to create our organs, blood, tissue, and the immune system. Stem cells can be found in places like bone marrow and fat tissue, but the youngest, most flexible stem cells in the body come from the umbilical cord.
After your baby is born, the cells that remain in the cord blood are easy to collect and may be lifesaving one day.
What is Cord Blood?
Cord blood is the blood in your newborn's umbilical cord. It contains powerful stem cells that have been used to regenerate healthy blood and immune systems in more than 25,000 transplants worldwide.30
Unique: Your baby's stem cells are unique. Plus, they're pristine, more flexible and easier to collect. 35
Powerful: They're used to treat many life-threatening diseases, including anemia, leukemia and certain other cancers. They've also shown in laboratory studies the potential to heal serious conditions like autism.
Smart: They "know" how to find injured cells and tissue in the body and initiate a healing process.
Stem cell uses continue to grow and evolve, bringing new hope to families. Cord blood stem cells have been used to treat more than 80 diseases and are currently being evaluated for their ability to help the body heal from certain conditions that have no cure.
- • Cancers
- • Blood Disorders
- • Immune Disorders
- • Metabolic Disorders
Simple, Safe, Painless
You only have one chance to collect and store your baby's newborn stem cells – immediately after birth. After the umbilical cord has been clamped and cut, the remaining blood in the umbilical cord is drawn into a collection bag.
It's important to make a decision about saving or donating well before your due date. If you choose to do nothing, your baby's cord blood will be discarded as medical waste.
Cord blood stem cells are not embryonic stem cells. Collecting, storing, and using them is not controversial.

As birth announcements go, it was a pretty big one. Sometime around the end of October last year, the world's population officially reached seven billion people.
Seemingly, it is the kind of celebration we should get used to. By 2050, an extraordinary nine billion people are expected to call Earth home. But these are milestones we cannot yet afford to celebrate, because as the population swells, our ability to feed everyone diminishes. Globally, one billion people are undernourished at present, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.
By around 2050, the swelling global population and affluence is expected to increase demand for food production by 70%, with a 100% increase expected in some developing countries. Yet most of the globe's best farmland is already planted or grazed. And when you factor in climate change, limited fresh water supplies and competition for harvests from biofuel makers, it is clear the world faces a major challenge.
One note of reassurance is that we have been in a similar fix before, and our ingenuity proved to be up to the challenge. In the mid-20th Century, when the global demand for food outpaced supply and famine was routine in places such as India and Pakistan, what helped save the day was the so-called "Green Revolution". The movement was spearheaded by American agronomist Norman Borlaug, who cleverly bred wheat to be shorter but sturdier and better at producing the parts we eat.
Borlaug's approach drew its fair share of critics, in part through its reliance on pesticides and fertilisers. But breeding high-yield crops in this manner more than doubled farm field yields globally in 50 years, particularly in Latin America and Asia, and helped to avert mass famines - an achievement that earned Borlaug the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize.
Recently, however, the trend toward higher yields has flattened, and the world finds itself in need of another revolution. This time, however, there is no obvious blueprint. Green Revolution 2.0 is possible, scientists say, but it will be engineered using tools that were unavailable to Borlaug and others in their pioneering days. Instead of relying on traditional breeding techniques and the lavish use of chemicals, the machinery sowing this new revolution includes supercomputers, molecular biology and arrays of sensors.
Here, BBC Future profiles four areas of research to discover how close they are to feeding the coming nine billion.
Squeezing more from the sun
In a corner of Illinois, they are trying to improve on billions of years of evolution. A group led by British-born plant scientist Stephen Long is trying to improve the ability of plants to harness energy from the sun. Their aim is to turbocharge photosynthesis, the fundamental process that allows plants to use the light they capture to convert carbon dioxide into organic necessities like sugar and starch - or food, as we like to call it.
According to Long, plants currently operate at about one third of their potential efficiency when it comes to photosynthesis, which hints that if you can find a way to ramp it up, you can also produce more food. In 2006, Long and his colleagues described how climate-change experiments have shown that rising atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide lead to higher rates of photosynthesis in plants. When this happens, yields can improve by 15% in vital crops like wheat, rice and soybean.
Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide further is hardly a practical or desirable way to boost crops, so the team set about looking for the genetic switches that could mimic the action and ramp up the plant's ability to harness the sun.
That is easier said than done. More than 100 different proteins play a role in photosynthesis, interacting in countless different permutations, Long says. Trying to work out which ones could boost photosynthesis through trial and error would take years. But there is a shortcut: supercomputers.

Joe Biden, who will be sworn into office on Sunday morning, is becoming one of the most influential vice presidents in US history according to historians and political observers.
"Sometimes he can get a little, I don't know, goofy," said Larry Rasky, a longtime Biden confidant and campaign strategist. "For everybody who knows him, that's Joe. That's who he is. . . . But when it comes time to step up his game and be a leader and a statesman, he
has always done it."
According to an article in Boston.com, Biden is a joker whose mouth often gets him in trouble but whose gregarious nature gives him the ability to connect.
"To some extent I think Biden's spontaneity is turning out to be something of an advantage in the sense that he's old school in the best way," said Joel K. Goldstein, a professor in St. Louis and an authority on the vice presidency. "You have a sense that he's not scripted and what you see is what you get."
The former US senator was initially reluctant about being Obama's vice president. When Obama and Biden began working out some the terms, the vice president made it clear he wanted to be involved in all major decisions the president made.
"The vice presidency is not something you ever aspire to . . . it's not something he ever sought by any sense," said Biden's son, Beau, who is the attorney general of Delaware. "But when you're asked to serve by your president, that's what you do."
Many historians believe the only one who can be said to rival Biden's influence as vice president is Dick Cheney.
"Biden is certainly one of the very most powerful vice presidents we've ever had," Goldstein said. "Time and again, Obama seems to involve him as a troubleshooter on the most consequential matters that are facing the administration."
While recently, President Obama tapped the vice president to shape the gun-control proposals, the two men have not always agreed on certain policies.
For example, Biden disagreed with Obama over the 2009 troop surge in Afghanistan. He also advised Obama against authorizing the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
While the 70-year-old Biden seems an unlikely presidential candidate for 2016 -- he would be the oldest new president in history by five years-- it is nonetheless a frequent topic of conversation.
"Everybody says 'I want elected officials to say what they think,' " said Ted Kaufman, a longtime Biden aide who was appointed to his US Senate seat when Biden became vice president. "You know why he's so popular now? They got a politician who says what he thinks. And they like it."
Biden is probably the most influential VP ever and maybe he'll go one step further in 2016. To play the devils advocate maybe Obama would be his VP.Anglo is hurt !!
To Eschetic: I agree with your words below about honoring 'a good speech by repeating the ideas or even some of the words without the attribution you would make in an academic paper.' Good yellow dog Democrats like myself are prone to repeat FDR's comment, 'The only thing we have to fear is fear itself' without redundant citing of the source. Any dullard should know where the credit for that one goes without being reminded each and every time. Although I'm fond of a short pause followed by this personal ammendment - '... except the hellborn political rightwingers.' Anybody who thinks I'm not relishing this GOP disaster to the fullest has another think coming.
I apologize for the unintended double entry below. Hold that 'submit' button down too long and see what happens?!
VP Biden is the only public figure I ever think of in terms of what his mom called him: "Joey". I absolutely love the man and celebrate his lifetime of hard work and public service. The teabaggers posting below should've heard my favorite comment by a Pulitzer-prize winning author and educator on Bill Moyers' show, describing GOP reaction to their election loss: "I never saw so many people look so slapped." Hell's bells, as Joey would say: they deserve it. I hope every teabagger hate junkie chokes on his own bile while we spend this wonderful day basking in the glow of well-earned victory. Take THAT, you misbegotten sons (and daughters) of perdition!

Thanks to "Tom Mo" for starting Inauguration Day with a great laugh! NO ONE withdraws from a Presidential Race (regardless of some shallow reporting at the time) because they honor a good speech by repeating the ideas or even some of the words without the attribution you would make in an academic paper. With three electoral votes in tiny Delaware, Biden was not going to be a finalist THAT year. Times and positions have changed; at the same time, thanks for proving that radical right wing haters do occasionally have a sense of humor - even if it's a perversely distorted one.
Nice try Eschetric. Biden was 45 years old when he had to withdraw from the 1988 Presidential race because he plagarized a speech of British MP Neil Sinnock. Biden is a conman.
You have deleted my response to Esehetic. Spiked it. Is that the Modus Operandi of Irish Central when you disagree with a comment?
Admittedly, the evil Mr. Cheney (the first Vice President since Aaron Burr to nearly kill a man during his term - Burr in a duel, not a drunken hunting trip) may have been more influential during his time as VP, but former Senator Biden's career in office has produced and continues to produce a FAR more positive legacy. The ignorant haters of the extreme right wing will cling to his college plagiarism scandal of more than 50 years ago and his occasional malapropisms to degenerate the man, but REAL Republicans respect a leader who may be the best qualified Vice President to BE President since former Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Baines Johnson. We may not agree with either of them on policy, but it is foolish in the extreme to think they are fools as great as those who despise them. All these continued attacks on a great Vice President merely expose how terrified the losers who ran the last failed Republican attempt to snow the voters are to have to campaign against him.
Seanomelb/CC Dara Kelly On the "mastery of Joe's silvery tongue." Joe: Calls on Sen.Chuck Graham to "stand up," despite the fact that he is in a wheelchair. Joe: Says "J-O-B-S" is a four letter word. Joe: On TV claims that FDR got on TV in 1929 to speak about the Stock Market crash. FDR was not President and TV was not a household item in 1929. Joe: On the mother of Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen who is very much alive (3/17/10). "His mom lived in(sic) Long Island for ten years or so, God rest her soul. And-although,she-wait-your mon's still- your mom's still alive? Your dad passed. God rest her soul." Joe: "A man I'm proud to call my friend friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States- Barack America. Joe: "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and clean and a nice-looking guy." Need I go on? Silvery tongue, my arse The man is an eegit!
seanomelb-You are an aussie now son, comment on your own country.
One couldn't get any lower than the knuckle dragging teaparty racist cretins.
The Vice Presidunce, slo Joe Biden, is a plagiarist and a proven liar. But he is the Bees Knees to the present crop of low information voters in the United States. Dara Kelly being one with Irish Central acting in concert.
Aah!! the spite and hate from the teaparty types below only belays their ignorance and jealously of the mastery of Joe's silvery tongue.Four more years an maybe more for Joe read him and weep you GOP trogoldytes.
Soooo! I guess that none of the posters below are old enough to have watched the "Columbo" detective series. Too bad, it was great. If they had, they would know that one of the best tactics in an adversarial relationship is to get your adversary to under estimate your strengths, even your sanity. I think that Joe Biden's LONG history in public service shows that he is a master of that tactic. Laughter is good for you. Just don't let someone steal your pants while you are busy laughing at them.
Joe Biden is a self admitted plagiarist, which means he is a thief. He is a thief of ideas and thoughts of other people. This also means that this man is so stupid that he is not capable of an original thought or idea.He is a career politician who is nothing more than a parasite on the American people.
He is a vp that has half of a brain and follows his instructions from his mobster boss obama. Who was elected by the foolish voters.
Who do you hire to write this stuff. What about Cheney, just because he was hidden in the basement attached to machines doesn't mean Bush wasn't his walking talking puppet
A fool can be very influencial in a negative way.
Joe Biden is a Moron. If he's involved, it's Bad News. Obama has kept him around because he is the perfect Fall Guy. A Dumb White Guy who thinks he's smart. Joe Biden has been guilty of lies, deceptions, plagerism, cheating. He overstates every accomplishment he takes credit for, and worst of all, is a Renowned Cheapskate. His pants pockets are sewn shut. He is an unadulterated Horse's Ass.
Biden is as influential as was Charliharley McCarthy to Edgar Bergen.
Dara, Dara, Please, there are more intelligent things to be writing about then Joe Biden. The man is a pure unadelterated moron. the only thing he is contending for is Assisted Living! He talks about gun control, when he needs to practice some serious mouth control.
Didn't you hear? yesterday Joking Joe said "I am proud to be President of the United States" some one behind him had to remind him that The Obama was still alive. This only the latest in many demonstrations that old Joking Joe is unaware of who he is and where he is. That is real power to be able to do this and get away with it.
The Tumor in His head is more popular... if The Tulor wants to divorce that IDIOT !
I'm not believing what I just read!! The most influential? Double Blarney. If you had said he was "one" of the most stupid, I'd wholeheartedly agree!. He's an embarrassment to our country, to the Irish and too the office of VP. Wow, now I've heard everything.
If you consider someone who acts like a "bull in a China shop" to be at the top of the heap, then you are right. I do not happen to think so.
Now that's a scary thought. Poor Dan Quayle was pilloried daily. This guy can't get either of his feet out of his mouth.
Biden is only as influential as obama will let him be. All the foolderah about him accidentally letting the cat out of the bag is bunk. It is all planned ahead of time. obama would brook no surprises. He says when and how high.
Man...seriously...Who comes up with this stuff...really? where do you live, Nobody in Washington takes him seriously, he is the consummate empty suit.
Biden likes to play loveable bozo but he has a mean streak 5 miles wide.

I couldn't believe he dropped that much weight off the bike, that is a ton! It's not all from the wheels though, it's a combination of everything: wheels, tires, and no more tubes.
Going tubeless he lost about half a pound.
The new tires dropped around half a pound (I think, that's assuming he had the heavy wire bead version of the 29-2 tires, which I'm not positive of)
I'm not sure how the centerlock brake rotors compared to the six bolt.
The wheels were the rest of the weight. And they weren't even that light! The rims and spokes are fairly light, but the hubs are heavy, but they're reliable and easily serviced if need be and a lot less expensive than some of the lighter options.

Picture - Katie Price and Peter Andre
JORDAN and PETER ANDRE's London Marathon plans took another hit on Thursday (12Mar09) when their rented SUV was towed as they completed a 17-mile training trek around California's Zuma Beach. Andre was alerted to his missing motor by paparazzi, who told him the illegally-parked GMC Yukon had been removed from the side of the road and taken to a recovery centre. The Aussie star immediately called off the remainder of his run and called on aides to pick him up. A source says, At first he thought the car had been stolen and then the snappers told him it had been towed. He was upset because there were bags and bags of Ed Hardy clothing, which he and Jordan had picked up the day before, in the boot. The towed SUV wasn't the only thing that halted the fit couple in their tracks on their early morning half-marathon - Jordan had finished running earlier, complaining of a recurring knee injury. The couple is currently in Los Angeles filming a reality series. They both hope to compete in the 2009 London Marathon when they return to Britain next month (Apr09). Peter Andre was forced to discontinue their planned 17-mile run when Katie's knee was hurting, and Peter's rented SUV was towed after parking it on a no parking zone. Los Angeles, California - 12.03.09

How Do Birds Rest During Migration?
Reblogged from Research & Collections:
by Meg Lowman
If aviation engineers could apply the wisdom of the chimney swift, several troublesome problems of aeronautics could be solved. Pilots, for example, would never have to worry about the amount of gasoline in their tanks. The chimney swift refuels on the wing, spends almost its entire waking life in the air, and never, except by accident, touches the earth.
What Time is it in Nature: American Bittern
We've had a new, first-time visitor to Prairie Ridge recently! An American Bittern (Botaurus lentiginosus) has been spotted at the pond repeatedly over the past two weeks, a species previously unreported on the grounds.
American Bitterns are a member of the heron family of birds, Ardeidae, and range in size from 2-3 feet tall. They blend in with their environment well, sporting mostly brown plumage with white markings, a yellow beak, and yellow-green legs. They have a distinct black stripe running down their heads. Taken together, these markings give American Bitterns a similar appearance to the reedy marshes they inhabit and make them very hard to see. The birds further blend in by holding their heads with their beaks pointed skywards, sometimes swaying a little from side to side, and by moving very slowly. If you're not looking carefully, you might mistake a Bittern for a clump of swaying reeds!
American Bitterns are more common along the North Carolina coast than they are inland, though happily for us they can be found in nearly any part of the state that has brushy marshes during the fall migration period. Bitterns have been known to nest in North Carolina as well, but only along the coast and in shallow, densely vegetated wetlands. When they do nest, the female cares for her 3-5 eggs without the help of the male.
Because they are so cryptically colored, American Bitterns rely on loud, strange calls to communicate with and find one another. The calls of American Bitterns are very distinctive, with an eerie hollow sound to them. It's hard to describe, so please visit the All About Birds American Bittern page so that you can hear it for yourself! The calls Bitterns are sometimes called "mire drums," "thunder pumpers,"or" stake drivers" due to their calls.
We don't know whether our American Bittern is just visiting before moving further south or whether it's here to stay for the winter. If you want a chance to see it, be sure to visit Prairie Ridge soon! Head down to the pond and look carefully at the vegetation on the far side of the pond. If you can't spot our Bittern from the near shore, a quick walk around the pond will increase your odds of seeing it. It can be really hard to find, but it's such an impressive bird that it's worth the effort!
What Time is it in Nature is a weekly feature highlighting the current plants, animals, and other wildlife at the Musuem's public outdoor facility, Prairie Ridge Ecostation. Find out more about the natural happenings at Prairie Ridge at our What Time is it in Nature Archive!

Be part of the Hour of Code in the VisLab
Reblogged from NC Museum of Natural Sciences Education Blog:
Computer science education week is December 9-15 (http://csedweek.org/). To celebrate and spread the joy of coding the Visual World Investigate Lab will be holding an Hour of Code event on Thursday, December 12th from 6:30-8:00 (I know, this is really an hour and a half. Just more time to do cool stuff.). Our event is one of over 20,000 events taking place in more than 150 countries throughout the week.
What Time is it in Nature: Water in Winter
As the weather starts to cool, we will start to see fewer and fewer insects active at Prairie Ridge. Because they are endothermic ("cold blooded"), many insects enter a dormant period during the cold months, often overwintering in some hidden, protected spot as eggs or larvae in a sort of suspended animation until spring or summer. However, there are places on the Prairie Ridge grounds where you can find insects active year-round, where even on the coldest winter day you might still find insects going about their regular business: our stream and pond.
In spite of some of the difficulties that life in water brings for aquatic insects, it's still a great place to live. Most importantly, water is very thermally stable. It takes a long time for water to heat up and cool down, especially in large quantities. This means that aquatic insects often experience far less fluctuation in temperatures than their land dwelling relatives. Many aquatic insects are also well adapted to living in a cool environment and are quite capable of carrying on with their regular lives in our relatively mild winters. Short of freezing over (and maybe even then!), you will be able to find at least a few insects swimming around in our ponds and stream even on the coldest days of the year.
A trip to the pond and a few sweeps of a net will currently yield a surprising diversity of aquatic insects. Dragonfly nymphs are quite common:
Many dragonflies overwinter as immatures (nymphs) in the water, so even though you might not see adult dragonflies flying, you can still find lots of nymphs that will emerge as adults next spring or summer. Dragonfly nymphs are wonderful creatures, expert hunters with an amazing extensible mouthpart that they use to reach out, grab, and hold prey while they eat. These highly visual predators are an important part of the pond's ecosystem.
Another fascinating aquatic insect from the pond is the phantom midge larva:
These will eventually pupate and emerge as flies, but they are spectacular as larvae! Phantom midges are almost completely transparent, a trait that protects them from predators such as fish (though we don't have fish in the Prairie Ridge ponds) and dragonflies and allows them to swim brazenly right out in the open water. When you scoop these up in the net, you can barely see them unless they move, and then only because they carry two internal air bubbles that reflect light. You are unlikely to see a phantom midge larva simply by looking into the water, but there are thousands of them (maybe millions) swimming about in the water in our pond!
A great predator is the creeping water bug:
They're a lot smaller than some of the other predatory insects in our pond, but don't let their smaller size fool you. These insects are fierce! They have a powerful paralyzing venom that they inject into prey after capture, so these insects can capture and eat things that might seem too big for them to manage. The bite can also be painful to people who come into contact with an unsuspecting creeping water bug. They're not inclined to bite in general, but will bite to defend themselves from perceived threats.
These are just a few of the insects active in the water now! You might also find midge larvae, giant water bugs, water scorpions, predaceous diving beetles, water scavenger beetles, mayflies, caddisflies, or other aquatic insects happily swimming about in the water or nestled safely under rocks, not to mention an array of tadpoles, salamanders, snails, worms, and crayfish. It might seem pretty dead on land in the winter, but the aquatic habitats are still going strong and are teeming with life!
Take a look in the pond or flip a few rocks in the stream the next time you visit Prairie Ridge. You might be surprised by what you find!

Burning the Prairie
With a name like Prairie Ridge, it should come as no surprise that you'll see prairie grasses when you visit. Constructed prairies cover about 12 of our 45 acres and demonstrate what large swaths of North Carolina Piedmont likely used to look like. But building and maintaining a prairie isn't as simple as planting seed and then sitting back to watch it grow. Natural prairies are periodically exposed to grazing, fires, and other natural processes that are essential for maintaining the grasses and preventing woody plant growth. In a managed prairie such as the one at Prairie Ridge, it is important to duplicate these processes so that the grasses have the greatest chance at survival.
As part of our management plan, we burn one of three sections of the prairie every year. Our natural resources manager, Brian Hahn, is a certified burn boss and leads our controlled burn with the help of the North Carolina Division of Forest Resources and the Western Wake Fire Department. Brian and his team monitor the weather closely and when the conditions are just right (not too windy, not too wet), they work together to set the prairie ablaze in a controlled burn.
This year's burn took place on November 19th, and it is a fascinating process to watch! The prairie is burned in small sections and the team moves from one end of the prairie to the other so that they can keep the fire under very tight control. The team splits up the necessary work. A few team members operate the drip torches, starting the fires and determining how quickly the prairie burns:
Other team members monitor the progress of the fire, manning small water hoses as necessary and stomping out small lingering fires along the edge. These team members ensure that the fire doesn't jump from one section to another:
Yet another team is ready to jump in and help in the event that the fire gets out of control. We never need their services, but it's good to know they're there just in case.
The fire burns fast and hot…
… and leaves a wake of grasses and wildflowers reduced to ash:
Though it might look like the burn destroys the prairie, fire is an important management tool. Prairie grasses are generally well adapted to withstanding periodic fires. Even though the above ground grasses are decimated, there are still roots and seeds underground that are well protected from the blaze. With the fertilization the ashes provide, the grasses and native wildflowers will quickly regrow. The fire also burns a lot of the woody plants that encroach on the prairie, eliminating much of the competition the grasses and wildflowers have for space and resources. All in all, fires provide a very important service to the plants, and are very valuable tool we can use to grow a healthier, happier prairie.
You might see blackened areas and ash in the lower prairie area over the next few weeks. However, now is a great time to visit Prairie Ridge! We'll likely see an increase in the number of birds of prey and vultures as the fire has opened up the land and the newly burn areas are excellent hunting grounds. You might also catch a rare glimpse of some of our small mammals as they move about and relocate after the fire. The black areas might not look like much, but they can hold some fascinating surprises!

What Time is it in Nature: Winged Sumac
Prairie Ridge is spectacular in the fall! The deciduous trees (the ones that lose their leaves in winter) change colors from green to blazing reds, yellows, and oranges before the leaves eventually flutter to the ground. One of our favorite brightly colored fall trees is the Winged Sumac.
Winged Sumac is a small, shrubby member of the cashew family of trees, the Anacardiaceae, typically reaching heights of 10-15 feet. As in other sumacs, what many people consider leaves are instead leaflets, a whole series of which positioned along a midrib makes up a long compound leaf. The leaflets of the Winged Sumac are longer than wide with a round base and a pointed tip with small serrations along the edges. The most distinctive characteristic, however, is the "wings," broad, flat sections of the midrib between the leaflets. These wings give the Winged Sumac its common name and are visible in the image above.
While Winged Sumacs prefer to grow in rich upland areas, they also grow well in disturbed soils, sending up multiple shoots from runners off the main stem. As such, you will often see them along roadsides, planted around parking lots, or in land reclamation projects. They also do well in urban environments and are a popular landscaping plant in residential areas, where they are often planted as privacy hedges and in areas with less than ideal soils. Winged Sumacs are also popular for their spectacular fall foliage, as seen above. The almost shockingly bright red coloration brings out a bright burst of color on the trees before they lose their leaves for the winter.
Apart from their landscaping and reclamation uses, naturally occurring and planted Winged Sumacs are an important food source for several animal species. The berries remain on the trees through most of the winter, providing an important food source for birds and small mammals at a time when other foods are scarce. The bark is also sometimes eaten by Fox Squirrels or White-tailed Deer.
If you've never seen a Winged Sumac before, we have a great example just outside of the Prairie Ridge Outdoor Classroom. Come on out and see it before the leaves disappear for the winter! The brilliant red leaves provide an excellent pop of warm color against an increasingly drab landscape.

The Next Hundred Years of Ecology
Reblogged from Research & Collections:
By Meg Lowman
Teach your children well.
— Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
The year 2013 marks the 100th birthday of the British Ecological Society (BES), so the International Congress of Ecology recently met in London to mark this auspicious occasion. Like many scientific professionals, ecologists reluctantly come away from their field sites or computer screens to exchange expertise on new tools, best practices and future priorities.
Happy Spooky Medieval Astronomy Day!
Reblogged from Research & Collections:
BOO! The origins of Halloween can be traced back to medieval European astronomical calendars.
Surprised? Indeed, there's not much astronomy in sticky-fingered pint-sized ghosts knocking on your door begging for candy. But the historical roots between Halloween — or, Hallowe'en, a contraction of All Hallow's Evening (or, All Hallow's Eve) — and astronomy trace back to medieval astronomical divisions of a year, and to festivals with Gaelic, Pagan, and Christian influences.
Earth Science Week, Fossil Day: Ruffin's Slab
Reblogged from Research & Collections:
North Carolina has good localities for Mesozoic fossils, but the most enigmatic and, to me, most interesting ones are from the Proterozoic (once called Precambrian). The Ediacaran Period is part of the latest Proterozoic, often called the Neoproterozoic. The Cambrian is still the Cambrian, and at the base of the Cambrian is what is often called the "Cambrian Explosion." At that point in the Earth's history, animals developed hard parts that could be easily fossilized.

Feeling depressed lately or having achy joints or feeling tired all the time? This clearly shows that you need to add more omega 3′s in your diet. Most of our diets are low in omega 3 fatty acids.Omega 3 fatty acids are a type of PUFA which are very essential for our body. If your diet is poor in omega 3 fatty acids, you can be prone to depression, heart disease, diabetes, inflamed joints, brittle nails, dry hair and poor concentration.Now lets have a look at the sources of omega 3 fatty acids to be included in our diets. Flaxseeds- rich in Alpha linolenic acids. Add a tablespoon of the powder to your porridge or in a smoothie or a teaspoon of flaxseed oil to your salad as a dressing. Fish- try to eat fish such as sardines and salmon atleast 3-4 times a week. Walnuts- add them to your porridge or in your favorite baked dish. Tofu and soybeans- If you are a vegetarian, then add tofu in your diet Canola oil- More stable than olive oil for cooking. Seeds- Pumpkin seeds, hempseeds, mustard seeds Enriched eggs with omega 3 fatty acids. Although not available in India, but are as good as fish. Fish oil supplements for the super duper busy people who want to supplement their diet in omega 3 fatty acids.So if you cannot concentrate at work or feel tired always, snack on walnuts and other seeds to pep up.BDST: 1127 HRS, July 5, 2012Edited by: Sharmina Islam, Lifestyle Editor

Raptors sign their new GM today. And on the subject, Bill Simmons hosts the Atrocious GM Summit (including Zeke, K-Mac and of course, the Boy GM).
LotN, NBA: Tough call Pau Gasol, but I'll take Jason Kidd (19 pts, 17 reb, 11/12 FT, 9 ast), and note PopcornMachine's second half/OT splits, even if the Nets lost this one.
Remember the NHL? Counting down to the end of the regular season (and the Pat Quinn era) it's back tonight, including the Leafs hosting the Matrix.
According to reports, Chelsea's going to sign Michael Ballack this summer for 240K a week, although his agent denies a deal is done. And in Madrid, Florentino Perez resigns as president of Real.

Ecogenics 3 in 1 5 piece Travel Kit
Theresa F.New JerseyAbsolutely Love This ProductI have had minor skin issues going back to my teens and have always been hesitant to try new skincare products. I have used Clinique and Proactive for acne and have had some success, but Ecogenics has completely changed my skin. Not only has it helped make my skin feel softer and look healthier, but it has also cleared up my acne and I very rarely get a blemish anymore. I have been using this product for about 6 months now and I can't say enough good things about it. I would definitely recommend the travel kit. It last about 2 months and it's the perfect size to give it a try. Trust me you will be buying another one! :-)posted Aug 19, 2013Link to this post
