Energy Athletic Golf Apparel
Energy Athletic Golf Apparel is a new company based out of San Luis Obispo, California. They believe that they have designed a new fabric that will assist in ones performance on the golf course. THP was lucky enough to get their hands on these shirts to give them a test drive to see what they are all about.
From the Company:
Golfers are always searching for a product that will give them a competitive advantage on the course. It may be the latest new golf club or something to help improve their swing. Now its something that hangs in their closet.
Performance Sports Brands, Inc. is leading what it calls a revolution in terms of the apparel that will be available to golfers. The company has announced Energy Athletic Golf, the first golf apparel that provides a true technological advantage for every golfer. The exclusive and patented IonX Ionized Energy Fabric™ features a negatively charged, electromagnetic field embedded into its structure.
According to [the PhD. of Polymer Chemistry and Chief Scientist at IonX, Dr. Al] Ouimet, the use of microfiber fabrics in Energy Athletic Golf provides comfort and outstanding "hand feel" and garment drape. In addition, these shirts offer performance factors such as moisture management, wicking (wicking fabrics are fabrics that actually lift moisture away from the skin), elimination of static cling and antimicrobial for odor control. The science behind Energy Athletic Golf also allows the wearer to feel warmer in cooler climates and to feel cooler in warm climates.
Paul Azinger, one of the most popular and successful professional American golfers of the past 20-plus years, has chosen to wear Energy Athletic Golf and appear in the company's commercials. "Every golfer is looking for an advantage. And I believe you get that with Energy Athletic Golf," said Azinger. Who doesn't want to feel better and now you can do it just by wearing a great looking shirt. You really have to wear an Energy shirt to feel it for yourself."
So who is Dr. Al Ouimet?
Dr. Al Oiumet graduated in 1968 from the United States Naval Academy with a degree in Chemistry before attending Naval Post-Graduate school in Monterey, CA where he graduated and received an MBA in Chemistry. He went on to the University of Rhode Island where he earned his Ph.D. in Polymer Chemistry. Later, he became Senior Vice-President for Quality Worldwide Inc. in 1995 before moving on to become the Corporate Technical Director for Warnaco Group Inc. where he was the lead scientist on the team that developed the Fastskin Swimming Suits for Speedo used in the 2000 Olympics.
Ouimet's great uncle was the American born Francis Ouimet who, in 1913, was the first Amateur U.S. Open Champion at the young age of 20 years old. Francis Ouimet is commonly regarded as "the Father of Amateur golf in the U.S."
Looks and Feel:
They sent me a large which I feel was very true to size. If I were ordering I would have gone with a medium. I like my golf shirts to be just a little bit snug . I found that the color held up very well and has yet to crease. Also, I always unbutton the top button and then leave the rest closed. I did like how clean the shirt looked with the top button undone.
Nothing "pops" out at you by the looks of these shirts. There are no designs or even logos for that matter, minus the IonX logo at the bottom of the shirt. Which most golfers will not show off as long as they like the clean look of a tucked in shirt. The long sleeve shirts however does have a logo on the sleeve. They offer 9 colors in the short sleeve polo and 3 different colors in the long sleeve version. So, if you like to show up to the course in a solid shirt, these may be what you're looking for.
The Energy Athletic Ionized Golf shirt is made of 95% Polyester and 5% spandex to provide a loose fitting, comfortable golf shirt that allows the freedom of motion essential to the dynamic movements in the golf swing. Every Energy Athletic shirt comes with fabric that has been embedded with the exclusive IonX Ionized treatment that makes for an intelligent fabric and provides you, the golfer, with increased power during every round. I must admit that these shirts do feel great. They are very soft and feel like they are well made.
Thoughts on Performance:
The website leads me to believe that the IonX fabric will give you added energy and power on the course that will in turn improve your golf game. I myself did not get the feeling of any added energy or power. One point that they really try to hammer home is the comfort and the one thing I did notice is that the shirt was nice and cool on an extremely hot day. I don't think that the company is trying to sell golfers so much on added performance and power, but rather I feel as though they are saying that the microfiber fabrics offer the extra performance factors discussed above. Overall, this is a VERY comfortable shirt. I do think that if you are in the market for a solid golf shirt you will be impressed with the feel of this one while sitting at home, riding in the cart or swinging a golf club.
The short sleeve shirt MSRP is $59.90
The long sleeve shirt MSRP is $69.90
They do offer specials if you purchase 2 or more shirts as well.
There is a 30 day guarantee that it will be your favorite golf shirt and if you disagree you can send it back for a full refund. You can find more information at www.wearenergy.com.

Great stuff Jarret! I want to try these on at some point. We need cool and comfy in the desert. Great job man.
Cool review Jarret. It kind of sucks that you didn't get any added energy, but everyone could use a nice, comfortable shirt to golf in.
Missed a chance to comment here when the review first came out. Really solid commentary. I always find that the negative ion technology is wholly personal to each experience, and am very impressed to hear that regardless of the functionality of the 'energy' portion of this shirt, the quality and design is worth the price regardless. Well done.
I have to admit that I missed this the first time. I don't see how these will do anything more for your game than any other regular moisture wicking shirt would help over wearing cotton shirts. These are definitely better than cotton, but I am not convinced about being better than any other moisture wicking shirt I have.
But if you are right about what you think their selling point is, then maybe I could jump on board. Good review.
Don't know how but I too missed the review when it came out, good job 1-T I am interested in trying these shirts out.
Nice review One-T. Even if they don't give you a ton of 'power' or 'energy', at least you are comfortable and look good. Nice thoughts man!
How are you supposed to measure whether the shirt adds energy ?? They could be claiming anything like those magnetized bracelets do. If its comfortable and priced right, it should sell.
Yeah I would be skeptical of any added "energy" they say a shirt can give you. It's probably a mental thing and if they say it'll give you energy you might think you feel it.

Editors Note: This entry is first in a special series of blogs that will chronicle the growth of permaculture at Kalani.
I'm Eric and I have the honor of being the very first Permaculture Design Specialist to work at Kalani.
Editors Note: This entry is first in a special series of blogs that will chronicle the growth of permaculture at Kalani.
I'm Eric and I have the honor of being the very first Permaculture Design Specialist to work at Kalani.
When I first came to Kalani in summer 2012, I found the experience to be so transformational for me that I knew that right after college I would return. The lessons I learned served me well spiritually and practically in my "real life", so in my mind, I made Kalani a symbol of personal growth. This has become my mini-university of mindfulness and well-being. Of course, the journey for me hasn't always been easy, but the fact that I am mostly surrounded by growth-minded people who live intentionally has given me insight on the 2 following themes:
Make Connections Based on Values, Not Traits.
Back on the Mainland, one generally makes friends because of proximity, and we can get stuck associating with others who share our socioeconomic status, race, etc. This isn't always conducive to spiritual growth, and has left me feeling stuck in a creative rut. This is part of the reason I came back to Kalani: Kalani is unique because one constantly has the opportunity to connect with people from around the world over meals, our work environment, and our living space. How cool is it to have eaten with someone from Germany, Texas, New York, and Hawaii all in one table over dinner?!
Although sometimes this has pushed me outside my comfort zone, I've found it very enlightening because I have been immersed in a situation where I can align myself with others because of values we share vs. traits. Despite all of our demographic differences, we can form bonds over what we REALLY have in common, whether it be our love of fine arts, our interest in activism, Eastern philosophy, etc. It really brings light to the question, "What ARE my values?" And then because we have so many diverse classes and opportunities to be creative, I've been able to find focus after clarity has been brought to my preferences and intentions. Because of this, I've been able to bring more consciousness to my values and make some of the most powerful friendships and creative connections I have ever made!
Practice Flexibility.
At Kalani, there are many opportunities to practice flexibility, whether it be mental/emotional in our relationships here or physically/spiritually through yoga. Before I came to Kalani last year, I was aware that my rigidity and fixed attitude on some things were not working for me. I found it difficult to be in friendships/relationships for too long, because once things weren't on my terms, I felt out of control and walked away. I couldn't do that at Kalani…and for that I am grateful. Here, I am in an environment where if I get into a disagreement with somebody, I need to address it, for my sake and the community's. I wish I would have learned this skill at a younger age, but I was probably too self-absorbed and intimidated to try.
Naturally at Kalani, since I am living with over 100 people, sometimes things come up! With the guidance of some of the older Kalanians, I've been able to work on confidence and experiment with making more room for people's differences in my relationships. I no longer feel I am losing myself when I give in; I can see things in perspective and am more willing to conture to the needs of another. Practicing this flexibility has been reinforced by the powerful yoga classes, and I believe that flexible bodies nurture flexible minds.
I have lived at Kalani for a total of 8 weeks, and feel genuinely fulfilled. I have a renewed enthusiasm about the world because of the confidence I've developed, the growth-minded community, and the endless learning opportunities that make my life feel enriched and colorful.
Tranformation Ignites Heart Fire
Angels ground me I seek deeper love
letting go like the rain drops land all around
each light-beam lands on my skin in gratitude
I trust each day a gift I see to this day my life brings
wholeness I lust
cherish where I come from
beleiving in where I go
that star in my sky reaching for this breath
I am joy
In rest
and in my hands i sense freedom in the passing wind
starlight dreams in my whisper
enlarging my true essence
my tropical spirit flower intrigue with the red winged bird in flight
lush soothing jungle
smiles from heart surround me
bliss full dance
expression power of ocean waves
just below the surface alive moving lava of intent always
changing, manifesting, transorming, alarming, igniting
the grace of Pele appears
All is a part of me...thank you
I want to hug the ground, kiss the plants
say mahalo to Buddha for reminding me
I am peace
My Grandma's butterfly wings send me to new heights
I feel her smile, her proud tickled heart embrace
I have no doubt opportunity awaits
magic abundance is here
I trust~
Deep mahalo's to my Kalani `ohana for all you individually are and i wish you all greatness in where you fly~
Sommer Joy Albertsen
A quote from Taylor Powell, who made this video:
"My mother always asks me, 'Taylor, what are you doing?' This is my answer."
What are you doing? from tee pee on Vimeo.
We've long wondered how to convey the beautiful experience that is 'Camping at Kalani'.
With lush tropical jungle surrounds to inspire you by day and a blanket of stars to cover you at night, it's hard to encapsulate what campers receive in our campgrounds experientially (physically and emotionally) in just a few simple words.
Thankfully one of our long-term volunteers, Molly Rikkers, has done it for us in the beautiful poem below.
Molly camped at Kalani for ten months (she and her tent are pictured).
Whether you're considering camping in Hawaii at Kalani or simply reading the Kalani blog for pleasure, .my jungle tent. makes for an inspiring read.
.my jungle tent.
my home breathes with the jungle.
the walls are transparent and billow like sails in the wind.
i have to unzip the windows to let air in, unzip the door to let myself in.
tiny droplets of water splash onto my pillow when it rains.
lilikoi vines wrap around the foundation and climb towards the sky.
if i don't weed every few days, the jungle will swallow me.
and i love it.
i'm safe on my wooden platform, under my teal-streaked tarp, behind my see-through walls.
i sleep in a sea of green.
i lie in my bed and watch shooting stars from my window.
i can rub a gecko's belly and give it mini high-fives with my fingertip as it hunts for dinner on my rooftop.
the coqui frog orchestra serenades me to sleep and the blue-eyed doves remind me that it's time to wake up.
i have everything i need in here with me, in this 13 by 9 foot space.
and it's the most perfect home i've ever lived in.
If you are reading this you may be thinking about coming to Kalani as a volunteer.
The search for 'something' (maybe you're not exactly sure what yet) has brought you to this website, and now you're curious about this place called 'Kalani' on the Big Island of Hawaii.
That's how it happened to me, anyway. As I sat reading through other blog posts six months ago, my heart beat a little faster. Why? Because each post provided a glimpse of what life was like at this special place, and what I heard resonated deep inside. I wanted what I was reading about. My soul needed it, and I'm guessing that yours might too.
For this reason I want to share a little about my own experience at Kalani in the hope that it will encourage you to have your own personal experience with, what I call, 'The Kalani Effect'.
As soon as I arrived I could tell that my time at Kalani would be life-changing.
The Big Island, with its lush jungle, volcano, powerful ocean and endless canopy of stars in the night sky couldn't have been more different from my life in a small English town, a 'nine to five' office job, and live-for-the-weekend lifestyle.
During my stay at Kalani I danced, laughed and laughed, ate well and tried all sorts of different classes, diving into everything that was on offer. I can't tell you how good it felt to be interested in new things again.
I swam in the pool almost every day, wove bracelets that I'll keep forever, watched moonlight on the waves, smelled the most wonderful fragrances from flowers in the night air, helped make a community drum, sketched and painted, dressed up, had blissful massages, swam with sea turtles and colourful fish, made amazing friendships, had one of the most memorable birthdays ever in my 37 years, opened my heart, remembered what it was like to experience joy every day, and more and more and more…
Oh, I also cleaned some bathrooms and made quite a lot of beds! But even during my volunteer work hours at Kalani, there was still time to think, to reflect and to listen to myself.
One of the best bits about this place (because there are many best bits) is the people. The fellow volunteers and staff are fun, loving, supportive, mindful, interesting, entertaining, engaging and most of all being themselves. And they stay in your heart even once you've left.
Not a single day passed when I didn't at some point think "I can't believe I'm in Hawaii, I'm so lucky!"
And once I departed, my life was suddenly full of possibilities again. I was more confident that I could create the life I wanted rather than reacting to life around me. I was happier. I felt excited again.
Three months on, that same feeling of confidence and happiness - 'The Kalani Effect' - is still strong within me. My stay at Kalani has changed my life permanently.
So, if you do come to Kalani, at the very least you'll have fun and catch some sun, and at the very best it will be a life-enhancing and life loving experience!
Kalani is a place where you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, so do whatever you need to do make your visit happen. If that means saving money, arranging vacation time, or taking care of other practical details, do it. If it means facing some fears and anxieties, so be it. Once you get to Kalani you'll realise you don't need to hang onto fear and anxiety anymore. You'll have the time and space you need to get to know yourself. You'll learn to create and live the life you've always wanted for yourself.
In the end, my own experience of living and volunteering with this community – the Kalani 'ohana (family) – was truly more than I could have hoped for.
I hope you too will take the leap and honor whatever it is that is calling you to go.

Every Monday a Kalani 'Ohana member is invited to inspire those present at our weekly community meeting with a speech, poem, song, quote, meditation or anything else of their choice.
Resident volunteer and filmmaker Chris Roufs shared an inspiration and ensuing video project so spectacular that we couldn't wait to put it on the Kalani blog.
Read the speech Chris gave to us about finding his inner firework at Kalani, and scroll down to view his video at the end of this post.
You don't have to feel like a waste of space,
You're original, cannot be replaced.
If you only knew what the future holds,
After a hurricane, comes a rainbow.
Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed,
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road.
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time you'll know.
You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine.
Just own the night like the Fourth of July.
Cause baby you're a firework!
Come on show em what you're worth!
Make em go, oh, oh, oh.
As you shoot across the sky-y-y!
If you haven't already figured it out, these are lyrics from a Katy Perry song called 'Firework'.
I had heard this song many times before I came to Kalani this time (my third visit as a volunteer), but I had never really listened to the lyrics very closely.
When I arrived at Kalani again and life slowed down (as it always does when I'm here) the song's lyrics were pointed out to me by one of my 'Ohana. I took the time to realize that they had some deeper meaning.
That's one thing I think is so wonderful about this place. Being here slows things down. Knowing that you are a part of this 'Ohana and feeling love and the beauty of nature all around you, allows you the opportunity to go a bit deeper within yourself. To discover your Firework, so to speak.
Shortly after I arrived back home this time I went to Open Mic and I saw the plethora of talents here at Kalani. I remember thinking to myself, "I wish I had something to offer." I wanted to get up and sing a song, or play an instrument, or recite some poetry, but that didn't really feel right. Just thinking about it seemed forced. It felt wrong for some reason.
It was shortly after this that I heard Katy's song again… and I really took the time to listen to the lyrics and then (like Katy sings)… something started to ignite inside. But I also realized that I didn't need to DO anything to be special or be appreciated, all I needed to do was to search for that Firework in me, that Firework in all of us.
So one morning while walking toward Kehena beach, with Katy's song stuck in my head, I turned to two of my 'Ohana and said, "I think I'm gonna make a video to a Katy Perry song." I was going to do it so that everyone could show off their firework, their joy. And I wanted people outside of this place to see how Kalani helps to bring that joy out in each member of its 'Ohana!
I've always heard that when you find a project or an idea that you truly believe in, the work you do in order to complete that task feels effortless, that time means nothing while working on something that you love, and that you fall into a kind of zone. That is what this video project was like for me. I think I briefly tapped into my Firework, my pure joy. And I'm ever so grateful to all of my 'Ohana (especially Janice, Stephen and Alissa) for helping me to experience that.
For those of you reading and watching this that have never been to Kalani, I hope you catch a glimpse of the JOY that you too can hopefully find here. I hope you make the journey very soon, and I hope I get to meet you here in paradise.
Mahalo Nui Loa 'Ohana! May this little video always make you smile and warm your heart as it does mine.
Chris Roufs
How do you describe Kalani?
For those that know Kalani, the non-profit educational village and yoga retreat center in the Big Island of Hawaii, they know that it is a favorite repeat destination for many people!
For people that are new, here are some ways to describe Kalani:
Well, Kalani isn't always easy to describe, but we're doing our best for now. Want to help us describe Kalani? Please post a comment here, or send us a blog at [email protected]. It's worth it as this place is amazing and magical, and a best kept secret that others might love to know more about!
At Kalani, a Hawaiian yoga retreat center and educational village just 5 miles from where lava flows into the sea, Director Richard Koob playfully pronounces that "I Lava You" is the mantra this Valentine's day.
Based on the foothills of the largest volcano of the Hawaiian Islands, Kalani is near the home of the mythical goddess Pele, the Kilauea volcano. Pele, which translates to "lava", is the spirit of all things passionate and fiery, burning away illusion to find love and compassion within. Pele could be thought of as a Goddess that watches over Aloha Spirit.
Perhaps Pele could be thought of as a Valentine's Goddess of sorts, spreading the message of love and Aloha Spirit.
But what is Aloha Spirit exactly?
Stewart Blackburn, a Kalani facilitator that runs a popular class on Hawaiian Shamanism, talks about getting more Aloha Spirit in your life. He describes "Aloha Spirit" as finding your own joy. The Hawaiians believe that your power comes from feeling joy, as joy gives you the power to live, and to love others fully. Stewart talks about "Aloha Spirit" as something we can practice with a Beloved. "Being connected feels good," he explains, "things like criticism hurt connection, while love and joy help build connection." He talks about Aloha Spirit as a daily spiritual practice for sharing love and joy with others, and thus being on the right path.
Charles Muir, a well loved teacher of Tantra for 32 years and co-author of the book "Art of Conscious Loving", who has recently been featured on Oprah radio, is coming to Kalani for a couples retreat for Valentine's Day. Charles is known for getting couples to re-connect in positive ways, and connection is part of building joy and "Aloha." Charles is known for helping men creating more intention and energy around loving, like drawing a hot bath with rose petals for their lady. Women create a similar experience for men on a subsequent evening. Couples can usually be seen here smiling on Valentine's Day, after taking a workshop like a couple's retreat.
If couples here at Kalani need any help, scent from Hinano flower from a Hala tree is said to add romantic punch to a partnership. According to Maui magazine, ancient Hawaiian culture utilized the Hinano flower petals for love rituals: "A young kane [man] or wahine [woman] desiring to awaken the affections of another would seek out a fruiting male [Hala] tree. Male trees sport prominent spikes called hinano. Suggestive appearance aside, the spikes are covered in sweet-scented yellow pollen considered an aphrodisiac by Hawaiians. They used this pre-Contact Love Potion #9 to perfume their bedding and dust like talc beneath their malo, or loincloths."
Many couples have renewed their vows here at Kalani, enjoying the epic oceanfront views from lookout point nearby, also called "The Point," where you can see lava flow into the water, or see turtles or whales jump out of the sea. Couples can enjoy plush tropical scenery on land or at sea, with so many scents and sights.
Many also enjoy healthy cuisine at Kalani which is legendary, including ahi tuna, basil limeade, and watercress soup. Along with many activities and yoga workshops to take and whales to watch at nearby Kahena beach, couples can combine intimacy with group activity here at Kalani.
Couples that come to Kalani get to practice Aloha Spirit, with each other and also with the friendly staff and volunteer community.
In the spirit of Aloha, don't forget to say "I Lava You" to everyone you can.
Anyone who has had the pleasure of a Kalani open mic night will be familiar with the song Livin' At Kalani. This ditty was penned by our very own Ukelele Davey, in honor of our fabulous home in the jungle.
Livin' At Kalani by Davey Groth
Now I moved to Hawai'i... to shed my stress and strife...
And strip my dull existence... to find a new direction in life...
Kalani Oceanside Retreat, it's so pretty, it's so sweet
For my mosquito bitten feet, We're Livin' At Kalani
Aloha flows from everyone, it's shining brighter than the sun
You'd see it if the rain was done, Livin' At Kalani
It's a pretty place I know where work is almost play
I see so many happy people naked everyday
Yoga is just so divine, it keeps my body feeling fine
Cause hula wants a supple spine, Livin' At Kalani
The kitchen crew, they work so hard – searin' ono, braisin' chard
You can hardly taste the lard, Livin' At Kalani
It's a pretty place I know where work is almost play
I see so many happy people naked everyday
Richard dancing on the lawn, everybody – dance along!
Shake your ass to a Hawai'ian song! Livin' At Kalani
Tiki working day and night – we love her, she's just outta sight
Won't someone take her home tonight!
Livin' At Kalani – ONE MORE!
It's a pretty place I know where work is almost play
I see so many happy people naked everyday
I love my sweet Ohana crew, they're so giving – they're so true
But only for a month or two.....
(shout out your number of months at Kalani when prompted)
We're Living At Kalani-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Houston Rockets guard Jeremy Lin has agreed to a shoe deal with adidas, thus departing Nike, a league source informed CSNNW.com.
The source spoke on condition of anonymity due to adidas having yet to have made an official announcement on the agreement. According to the source, the announcement will come on Friday.
The signing of Lin only increases adidas' global brand.
Lin, 25, is averaging 14.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 24 appearances this season.
Lin, an undrafted free agent out of Harvard, came on to the scene after he was waived by the Golden State Warriors and joined the New York Knicks in 2012. After he unexpectedly led the Knicks to a win over the then New Jersey Nets in early February of 2012, and his success continued late into the season, the term "Linsanity" became a globally recognizable phrase.
Lin is currently in the second of his three year contract with the Rockets.

Amid 'war on obesity,' skeptics warn of stigma
The images are striking: Overweight boys and girls staring somberly from billboards and online videos, real-life embodiments of the blunt messages alongside.
"Chubby kids may not outlive their parents," for example. Or: "Big bones didn't make me this way. Big meals did."
The ads - part of a new "Stop Child Obesity" campaign in Georgia - won some enthusiastic praise for their attention-grabbing tactics. But they also have outraged parents, activists and academics who feel the result is more stigma for an already beleaguered and bullied group of children.
"Billboards depicting fat kids are extraordinarily harmful to the very kids they are supposedly trying to help," said the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, which called for the billboards' removal.
The Georgia Children's Health Alliance, which created the ads, said they were necessary to jar parents of obese kids out of a state of denial that their children had a problem.
The furor reflects a broader nationwide phenomenon as states, cities and the White House itself - led by first lady Michelle Obama - expand efforts to curb obesity. For all the public support of these efforts, there's also a vocal and passionate corps of skeptics and critics worried that widespread discrimination toward the overweight and obese will only increase.
"Stigma is not an effective motivator," said Rebecca Puhl, a Yale University psychologist who is a leading expert on weight discrimination. "Whether children or adults, if they are teased or stigmatized, they're much more likely to engage in unhealthy eating and avoidance of physical activity."
Research by Puhl and her colleagues at Yale's Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity suggests that weight discrimination is pervasive - at schools, in the workplace, in the media, among health care providers. Yet efforts to combat it frequently founder: Only one state, Michigan, outlaws weight discrimination, and the anti-bullying policies proliferating in schools often lack specific content related to teasing of overweight children.
The spotlight on obesity intensified last year when Michelle Obama unveiled her national public awareness campaign, "Let's Move." Its goal, she said, was to eliminate childhood obesity within a generation by helping parents make better food choices, serving healthier food in schools, and encouraging children to exercise more.
Many aspects of "Let's Move" won near-universal praise. But activists in the fat-acceptance movement and experts who espouse a "health at every size" approach were upset that the campaign encouraged the monitoring of children's body mass index, or BMI, and thus might contribute to stigmatization of heavier kids.
"The idea of a BMI report card is horrible," said Paul Ernsberger a professor in the nutrition department at Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine in Cleveland.
"To declare we're going to eliminate childhood obesity - that's actually a very stigmatizing thing to say," Ernsberger said. "The overweight child hears that and thinks, `They wish I wasn't here.'"
Linda Bacon, a nutrition professor at City College of San Francisco, is the author of "Health At Every Size" - a manifesto for a movement stressing a healthy lifestyle rather than weight control. She said the focus by "Let's Move" on BMI was of dubious medical value and posed potential problems for kids at all weight levels.
"It's done much more damage than good," Bacon said. "The larger kids feel bad about themselves, and the thinner kids feel it doesn't matter whether they exercise or eat well."
Deb Lemire, president of the Association for Size Diversity and Health, credited Michelle Obama with good intentions and commended various nutrition-related aspects of "Let's Move." But she said the emphasis on weight risked worsening the problems of teasing and bullying.

I live in a relatively small town, and my friends and I go walking a lot for entertainment.
It was about 8pm at the time this occurred and dark, but there are A LOT of lights so it might as well have been daytime. Myself, two other girls, and one guy. Girl 1 and the guy were maybe 10-15 feet in front of myself and the Girl 2. We were walking down the sidewalk on a busy intersection on our way to a gas station, almost there. As me and girl 2 were walking, we were only wearing skinny jeans, sneakers, t-shirts, and over sized jackets. A jeep drove past us very slowly (No need for them to be going slowly other than for us, as it is a very busy, fast paced street) and honked at us twice. We were unnerved by it as we had both read this site.
Then, no more than 30 seconds later, the same jeep turns around and honks at us several times more as it slowly passes us. We ended up running to the gas station in a bit of a panic because it made us feel very nervous, seeing as we are only 14/15 and we worried it would come back and try something else.
I've recently started going to the gym while my sister goes swimming and normally my dad comes with me but he was working late so I had to go by myself. As I walked in two guys stared at me walking in. Later I was walking over to another machine and the same guy stood in my way and said 'hey there'. I ignored him and walked on. As I was walking back he again step in front of me and told me his friend wanted to know my name. I said no and continued walking and then came after mew and asked why, I said I'm only fourteen. I then half ran to a busier part of the gym and both guys went on the bikes on either side of me. I felt so trapped and I literally couldn't speak. I then just walked away. I can't even tell my parents or I'll never be able to go the gym again. I told my sister and she said they were probably just 'taking the piss' my own sister thought it was acceptable, I'm not sure whats worse the men thinking the could do that or sister thinking it's okay.
Walking towards three men in their thirties I though 'I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, I won't cross the road, I'm sure they're fine.'
But no.
Just as I am about to pass them, one says "Yo yo yo yo yo, you sexy, you know you sexy in those leggings."
As he started hollering, I assumed he was talking to his friend, so I only managed a "fuck off" once I had passed them.
I won't be giving any other guys the benefit of the doubt.
This is a local old man who seems to think he is gods gift to women. He has asked 2 of the (much younger than he is)women in our office out. He has tried this in the office and while one was in a fast food restaurant…He is old enough to be their grandfather. He leers at you from head to toe. Last weekend, my husband and I were at a local fast food restaurant and there he was 2 customers in front of us, I pointed him out to my husband and filled him in on his tricks,,,meantime this very attractive mother and daughter came in, so creepo, out of the blue, turns around after placing his order and leers them and says "I'm saving a seat for you and your sister with me" of course they looked at him like he had 2 heads and moved on.Meantime, the waiter tries to say "sir, your order is ready" 3 times and creepo is still leering, so I said to the waiter"He obviously can't hear you, he is too busy flirting to pick up his food" others around me heard what I said and had noticed him trying to pick up the two as well…one of them snickered and rolled his eyes…so what would you have done,,I really wanted to say to these two unsuspecting women, he is a local and he is a creep…I did relay this to the 2 women in the office and they were totally grossed out, this old geezer really thinks that they would be interested in going out with him??? This is a beach community and so who knows how many he reaches for, do you just ignore when you notice him leering at women like this or what could you say??
I was walking to Walgreens from my sorority house dressed in a pair of slacks, heels, and a blouse. I am very busty, and when I wear heels things tend to be more jiggly. An older man in a car was turning at an intersection I was about to cross, so I stopped on the corner to wait. He stopped his vehicle and waited for me to cross so I would walk in front of him and he could watch me pass. After a few moments of both of us awkwardly waiting, I had not other choice but to cross. As I passed he shouted out of his car window: "Damn! You are looking nice!" I'm ashamed of this, but I mumbled a "thank you" in response, because I didn't know what else to do or say. I'm a feminist who has attended protests and stood up for others, but sometimes I'm still too scared to stand up for myself.
It isn't enough for you to grope my ass through my skirt. You have to put your hand up my skirt and grab my bare skin.
You have no idea how long I will spend in the shower, scrubbing myself where you touched me, or how many minutes I will spend thinking about the fact that you were that close to my vagina, how almost GRATEFUL I am for the fact that you didn't touch me there.
How dare people like you have made girls like me grateful you didn't touch me there.
I work hard for my grades at a top university, I never go out because I prefer reading, chatting to my friends, exercising, cooking, watching movies. I bothered to dress up and go out, and I felt damn good.
You made me feel bad for dressing up.
And then I turn and face you.
And you smile in that way that means you know I know, but you're going to act like I don't. Like you never touched me.
If you won't admit it, why do it? Are you too shy to tell me I'm pretty? Not an excuse. Is the music so loud that you considered THAT the best way to get my attention? Not an excuse. There is no excuse.
I wonder if you have sisters, cousins. A mother.
I want you to imagine someone putting their hands on that woman you love, and I want you to feel sick with yourself.
About a year ago, I was out drinking pretty late in a bar by my college in Manhattan. At about three, I decided I'd close my tab and head out when I was cornered by one of my pool buddies, who decided that because my back was turned, he could grope me. "You have a nice ass." he was literally rubbing my ass while I was pressed against the bar, waiting and waiting and waiting for my card and bill. I wasn't really sure what to do, so, I just said, "I know," and shifted so he couldn't touch me anymore. He tried to get me to do shots with him but I made a quick exit and got to the train about a block away.
I thought my night was over from there, but! I was approached by a man on the train platform. This is where I should mention that the station I was at is about five or six stories above ground. The man approached me and immediately asked, "do you eat pussy?" being drunk and terrified, I replied, "no." "Do you have a boyfriend?" "Do you like being eaten out?" ("no" to both) and then, "Can I show you my cock?" I was so scared and I had no idea of what to say. If I said the wrong thing, what if he decided to push me off of the platform? That was the only thing going through my head. I was extremely lucky that night, I said "No, thank you." and he finally left me alone, but so often I think about next time, because I know there will be a next time. I think almost everyday, "Where will it be? Who will it be? Will the next guy actually kill me?"
I walk my dog around lake merrit almost everyday because it is a beautiful walk in an otherwise urban area. My experience has been that I cannot make it around this three mile loop without a man making some kind of comment to me. It has ranged from "hi beautiful" to grunting noises to comments about my butt or asking me if they can join me on my walk. I had a man step into my path and stop right in front of me to pet my dog, blocking my path and giving me no choice in the interaction. I get angry, scared and embarrassed by these encounters, but above all I feel helpless and that is by far the worst emotion for me. I feel like I have to put up with this in order to walk my dog in a park near my home. I now have to consider what I wear and what time of day I go for a walk in an effort to achieve some sort of anonymity. Some people might think, what's the big deal if a man wants to tell you you're attractive or ask you out. Here's the big deal, it's unsolicited, unreciprocated and unwanted attention . It can be scary, embarrassing and menacing. Bottom line, I just want to walk my dog in peace and feel safe.
I was coming home from my gym class when I stumbled upon a group of young men. Probably in their early twenties or late teens. I am in the midst of a project I am working on so I didn't pay much attention to what was going on around me on the street. Until I noticed one of the guys was walking on to me, grabbing his crotch. I passed by him and then another guy, from the same group stormed on me, doing the same thing. Holding and massaging his crotch. The third one was making a movie with his phone while those two were obviously trying to intimidate me. I passed them by and they started laughing and asking if I liked it. Before I got home I regretted I didn't turn around to ask them if they actually knew what they were doing and that it was street harassment and they COULD get in trouble for that. I hope they post this video somewhere so someone could report it as abuse and take action. Their faces are in the movie.
I was eating at a restaurant when I noticed a man masturbating at a table near me. I called the cops and the man was arrested. He has since plead guilty, turns out he did this to another woman.

ARLINGTON, Texas - Good thing the NFL held Super Bowl XLV media day at Cowboys Stadium on Tuesday. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to twirl a Terrible Towel or don a Cheesehead without hitting a candidate for the Cardinals' vacant defensive coordinator's job.
There were four of them in attendance, or five, if you don't believe Steelers coordinator Dick LeBeau when he says he won't be working anywhere else.
League rules prevent Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt from requesting permission to interview candidates on Super Bowl teams until after Sunday's game. Too bad, because he could have knocked out four of those interviews Wednesday.
Whisenhunt is interested in interviewing at least two assistants from each team for the coordinator job that has been open since he fired Bill Davis nearly a month ago. Whisenhunt worked on the Steelers staff with linebackers coach Keith Butler and secondary coach Ray Horton.
Packers safeties coach Darren Perry also worked with Whisenhunt in Pittsburgh, and Whisenhunt played against Packers assistant head coach/inside-linebackers coach Winston Moss.
Here's a look at all four candidates and their thoughts on the Cardinals job.
Butler: He signed a new contract with the Steelers a year ago after interviewing for the Dolphins' defensive-coordinator job. He's a close friend of Whisenhunt's and the two are golf partners, although Butler joked that he is a little peeved that Whisenhunt had to cancel a round at Augusta National.
More important, Butler is well-versed in LeBeau's 3-4, fire-zone scheme.
"How would I characterize it?" he said of his relationship with Whisenhunt. "He is a sorry sucker. No, Ken's a great guy. We've known each other for a long time. That doesn't mean he wouldn't fire me. That doesn't mean I wouldn't fire him if I was in his shoes, either."
So can the assumption be made that Butler is ready to work for Whisenhunt?
"Uh, I wouldn't assume that. Kenny's got to do what he's got to do. I don't want him to do anything that takes away from him being a great head coach in Arizona. I'm under contract with the Steelers. I'm not sure they'll let me go."
Butler, however, said contrary to recent reports, there is no clause in his contract that says he is LeBeau's heir apparent.
"But . . . I signed a contract last year and have another year left," he said. "The Rooneys did something they normally don't do with assistant coaches."
What did they do?
"They gave me a lot of money."
Horton: He and Whisenhunt also are friends, and Horton is highly regarded in the NFL. He would like to interview with Whisenhunt.
"It would be a heck of an opportunity because they've got the pieces there," Horton said. "I've seen them on film. Hopefully just some fine tuning and you're right back there making that (playoff) run."
Horton played and coached for LeBeau, so he's familiar with the system.
"You can't just put them into the system and have the system work," he said. "All you're trying to do is manage and guide and lead the men and get them to do their jobs. It takes a little time. . . . There are a lot of nuances."
Perry: Perry also has worked for LeBeau and Packers coordinator Dom Capers, who runs a similar system.
"Right now, my mind is focusing on beating the Pittsburgh Steelers. I know, me personally, I don't want to be the only Steeler team to lose a Super Bowl. That's a little thing I'm thinking about. We want someone else to join that '95 team. (Perry started at safety for the Steelers, who lost to Dallas in Super Bowl XXX in Arizona.)
"When the (defensive-coordinator) opportunity comes up, I'm more than ready and I'm looking forward to it."
Moss: "There are only rumors working right now, but I got into this, coaching, to coordinate," he said. "I had a passion about calling plays, being very, very competitive. That ability intrigues me and challenges me.
"I feel as though I can bring out the best in players, bring out the best in me. I would dearly look forward to a challenge . . . to be a championship coordinator."

This publication summarizes the work that FAO is undertaking, with its partners, to assist countries to mitigate and adapt to climate change as it relates to forests, trees and the people who depend on them. It is organized in four of the five main areas of FAO's integrated approach to SFM:
The fifth main area of work, INTERSECTORAL COOPERATION AND COORDINATION, cuts across the other four areas.

The launching of the "Zero Hunger Project – a proposal for a food security policy for Brazil" in October 2001 by the then candidate for the presidency Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva reflected the maturing of discussions and proposals on food security and fighting hunger, which became national priorities to be addressed through planned and decisive actions of the State with social participation. With the electoral victory of President Lula in 2003, the Zero Hunger project became the main governmental strategy guiding economic and social policies in Brazil and marked the beginning of an inflection that left behind an old dichotomy between them. Actions began to be taken to integrate structural policies into emergency policies to fight hunger and poverty. New, differentiated policies for family farming were implemented and basic legislation was built for the national food and nutrition security policy. This book is part of the NEAD Debate Series (Série NEAD Debate) and it presents some fundamental texts for one to understand the Brazilian experience with the Zero Hunger Program at different moments of its implementation over an eight-year period as a Government Program, bringing together reflections on different aspects of the process, such as the mobilization of different segments of society around it, the role of family farming, advances and challenges, among others.

Once you have gained this knowledge, we urge you to share the knowledge and skills you have gained with other farmers in your neighbourhood, so that they too can produce
cleaner and healthy vegetables.
Globalization is one of the greatest strategic challenges for agricultural cooperatives. Globalization has increased significantly over the last decade, and despite financial crises and recession in many parts of the world globalization will likely continue — albeit with less force than before. Cooperatives have specific challenges of globalization. In some areas, cooperative challenges have been solved. Critical issues such as the use of foreign raw materials and production abroad are now a part of business development in several large cooperatives. Foreign members are also increasingly common, still not without challenges. In other areas, however, more structural and fundamental problems persist. Here major changes in the organization of cooperatives are required if all advantages of globalization are to be exploited. Danish agriculture has for decades been characterized by a high market share for cooperatives and a structure which to a high degree has been export and globally oriented, indicating no specific problem concerning globalization of cooperatives.

The actors by their presence always convince me, to my horror, that most of what I've written about them until now is false. It is false because I write about them with steadfast love (even now, while I write it down, this, too, becomes false) but varying ability, and this varying ability does not hit off the real actors loudly and correctly but loses itself dully in this love that will never be satisfied with the ability and therefore thinks it is protecting the actors by preventing this ability from exercising itself.
– J.D. Salinger (as Buddy Glass in Seymour — An Introduction) quoting Franz Kafka.
So, Franz Kafka.
Hello, I'll be your narrator. Apologies in advance; my bias is evident.
This is about Alexey Shved (FIBA tells me it's Aleksey, but I'll trust every other source on the internet saying otherwise). If it was possible for me to wax poetic about Shved without entering the realm of mindless self-indulgence, I would've opted for that route.
That route doesn't exist, by the way.
For those who haven't had the fortune of watching EuroBasket 2011, Alexey Shved is a Russian point guard. He is 6'6″. He's rail thin, and looks like a baby crawled into a novelty shop and bought himself a pubescent mustache. He's shifty, he's quick, and he's downright devilish in an open court. He's 22, and if the prophecy is to be fully realized, he'll have to reach the NBA eventually. But that's a dream for another day.
It's a wonder the way Shved moves around the court — lithe yet composed, with a joviality that bleeds out the pores of an otherwise steely front. He was once the most impressive prospect in Europe, as he dominated consecutive Under-20 tournaments only three years ago. The potential is still there. He has a decidedly Western game, with NBA-level quickness and athleticism to match. Unteachable scoring instincts off the dribble and a solid stroke made the shooting guard a possibility with his size, but he was a point guard. He is a point guard. In his youth, he was an erratic, overconfident shooter with only instinct to rely on in terms of creative playmaking. Four years later, playing in the grueling pace and physicality of the Russian Superleague, he's emerged far more in control of his skills.
There's no need to lament the death of volatile creativity ala Jason Williams in the Hubie Brown era. Shved was never that kind of magician. His flash doesn't stem from technique, but from the fluidity in every motion. To put it simply, Shved makes smart sexy. Shved cuts into the lane around a pick from Andrey Vorontsevich with an extra burst of speed that so few European guards seem to possess, never losing eye contact with his roll man. But as quickly as he accelerates, he decelerates even quicker, and it almost seems as though the polarity of motions compels the ball to glide from Shved's palm and into Vorontsevich's clutches. The events leading up to the easy layup blend so seamlessly, it's almost baffling that such an easy play could have existed. Shved's true flair exists in how he positions himself to make a pass, not the pass itself, though he isn't a slouch in that regard either.
I wish I could say that Shved's talents make him a singular prospect, but I can't. Since 1996, when the Create-a-Player feature was introduced in NBA video games, ordinary people were given the power to imagine themselves as a superstar, or a functioning cog in a multimillion dollar machine. I was never good at basketball, and I stopped playing seriously before I developed any kind of identity as a player, thus creating someone with the likeness of myself was a pointless venture. It's fun to imagine something that was never there, but I was more interested in unlocking what was never seen. My created players were 6'5″ – 6'7″ hyper-athletic combo guards that could do a little bit of everything. It was my homage to Penny Hardaway, to Larry Hughes (Whose halcyon days in D.C. still didn't capture the immense potential he had at his disposal. Though he did indeed dispose of it. All of it.), and more recently, Shaun Livingston. I fetishized the tall combo guard. And since so many failed to hit even a modicum of their potential, I found closure in retelling their stories with an editorial license.
The unfinished story — at least for me — continues with Shved. He's not as freakishly explosive as Hardaway or Hughes, and not the creative savant that Livingston was at the age of 18, but he still has the tools to become a good player; one that can make a difference on a team at the highest level of competition. He's only 22, and in a short period of time has shown the ability to mature his game for the better. Luckily for Shved, he's been immersed in the sport by basketball obsessives like Ettore Messina (learning how to run a grinding, low-tempo team) and David Blatt (learning to read the floor effectively on and off the ball in a Princeton offense) early in his career. He has his limitations — he has a tendency to allow players to blow right past him, and he simply does not have the strength to fight through screens — but he's shown more restraint in his shot selection in the later stages of this tournament, and his ability in the pick and roll has been second to none.
My vested interest in Alexey Shved is undeniable and untenable. I make no efforts to obstruct this fact. There is a chance Shved will never become more than he is, and will never live up to the immense promise first seen five years ago. If he doesn't, he'll eventually have his own unfinished chapter. Whether triumph or collapse is in his imminent future, I won't know, but he's made for a great story so far.

Daniel Kelly
Saturday, March 19, 2016
Award-winning composer and pianist Daniel Kelly transforms the stories of everyday people into dramatic and compelling performances that blend jazz, classical and folk music into a signature sound. His music has been declared "powerfully moving" by Time Out New York, and he has brought his unique talent to performances with Grammy award-winning jazz legends Michael Brecker and Joe Lovano, among many other musicians. He has toured throughout Southeast Asia and India as a part of the Kennedy Center and U.S. State Department-sponsored Jazz Ambassador program. Kelly's most recent work is RAKONTO - a groundbreaking series of concert-length, community-based compositions that incorporate the recorded voices and stories of community members. Coe students, faculty and staff will become part of the RAKONTO project, as Kelly will conduct interviews on campus in the fall that will be integrated into his March performance on the Sinclair stage.

WASHINGTON – A 2-year-old boy was caught on tape picking the lock to his sister's room.
After his 8-year-old sister accused her brother of stealing from her room at night, parents Joann and Mike Moser told her to lock her door. The next night, her beloved stuffed unicorn was missing again.
So the Mosers set up a baby cam to see how their son was picking the lock. Turns out, he was using a pair of fingernail clippers.
"Kyle has always been one to fiddle things and try to see how things works," Joann Moser told ABC News.
"We were impressed that he found the fingernail clippers in his room, flipped them open and used those to open the door."

"With a stroke, time lost is brain lost, and the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines–Stroke Gold Plus Achievement Award demonstrates Rochester General's commitment to being one of the top hospitals in the country for providing aggressive, proven stroke care," said Cheryl Wood, NP and the hospital's Stroke Program Coordinator.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — Rescuers are hoping for a break in the weather to evacuate two injured backcountry skiers who survived an avalanche that killed two others in northeastern Oregon's Wallowa Mountains.
Baker County Undersheriff Warren Thompson said Thursday morning that two National Guard helicopters were flying to the site.
He says there's no word on whether there's enough visibility for the helicopters to pick up the two injured skiers, who were bundled in rescue sleds after a cold and snowy night on the mountain.
Four unhurt skiers were taken out by a snow cat, which couldn't reach the injured skiers on the steep slope.
Most of the skiers were from the Seattle area. They were on a guided five-day trip with an outfitter from Joseph.

Dave Van Horn - Missouri State Postgame
Arkansas head coach Dave Van Horn recaps ...
Former Arkansas forward Hunter Mickelson will transfer to Kansas, he announced Thursday.
FAYETTEVILLE Former Arkansas forward Hunter Mickelson will transfer to Kansas, his father, Darien Mickelson, confirmed with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Thursday.
Mickelson, a 6-foot-10, 245-pound forward, averaged 5.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game last season. In his first year on campus, he blocked 72 shots, which set the school record for most blocks by a freshman.
The Jonesboro native scored a career-high 16 points against Robert Morris, who upset Kentucky in the first round of the NIT, on Dec. 12, 2012.
Kansas was 16th in the nation in rebounding last season, but loses its leading rebounder and shot blocker, Jeff Withey. Withey, a 7-foot, 235-pound center, averaged 13.6 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.9 blocks per game in his senior season.
Although, Mickelson will have to sit out next year, he will redshirt and have two years of eligibility remaining at Kansas.
The Jayhawks lost their final game of the 2012-2013 season in the Sweet Sixteen when Michigan upset the No. 1 seed 87-85 in overtime.
With Mickelson headed to Kansas, BJ Young's name entered in the NBA draft, Devonta Abron at TCU and Aaron Ross, who never made it to campus, at Texas Tech, Rashad Madden is the only remaining player from the Razorbacks' 2011 signing class. The 2011 signing class was the sixth-ranked signing class in the country by Scout.com.

Public IT cloud services spending will reach US$56.6 billion in 2014 and grow to more than $127 billion in 2018, according to a new forecast from International Data Corporation (www.idc.com), which is about six times the rate of growth for the overall IT market. In 2018, public IT cloud services will account for more than half of worldwide software, server, and storage spending growth.
Among the factors driving public IT cloud services growth is the adoption of "cloud first" strategies by both IT vendors expanding their offerings and IT buyers implementing new solutions. More importantly, IDC believes the cloud services market is now entering an "innovation stage" that will produce an explosion of new solutions and value creation on top of the cloud.
Many of these new solutions will be in industry-focused platforms with their own innovation communities, which will reshape not only how companies operate their IT,...| Read more »

It happened at about 5:45 a.m. in front of Treasure Palm Motel on Thomas Drive in Panama City Beach. Florida Highway Patrol troopers say the victim was driving when, for some reason, she ran off the road.
When she pulled the car back on to the road she lost control and hit a van head on. The crash killed the driver of the car instantly. No other serious injuries were reported.
Sources tell Newschannel 7 the victim hadn't lived in Bay County long, just long enough to get a job as a cocktail waitress at a local nightclub.
Alcohol is not suspected to be a factor, right now. Toxicology tests will take about six weeks to come back.

This place is great. I've been searching for a decent men's haircuttery/barber in south OC for a while, but the ones I visited had 8-5/6PM operating hours, long lines, or stylists who were socially awkward.
This place has none of those. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. $40 for a haircut is definitely expensive for my tastes, but given the service, I think it was was worth it.
I will certainly be going back.
I have used the Men's Hair Salon three times and been very impressed by Christine and her team of talented professionals.
Although this clean and attractive salon offers complimentary beverages and snacks, a flat screen TV, and other amenities, the key reason I return is for a great haircut and expert hair coloring.
As a senior management professional in the retail fashion industry, I understand that, in the modern business world, your physical appearance is very important, and the Men's Hair Salon is my trump card.
I've been here several times now and I've only had an extremely pleasant experience here every time.
It feels great to get off work and come in, just to enjoy a cold beer or my favorite Crown Royal and Coke.
They really try and meet the needs to what exactly guys like and that is why I will continue to come back. Thanks again for everything Christine!
I went here today for the first time. Christine, the owner, was very friendly. The haircut was superb and she had a lot of great recommendations for my future grooming.
Having just recently moved to the area after a long stay overseas it's wonderful to have found a stylist where I can sit down and just say "just like the last time".
I'll be going here for every haircut.

Aug 23 2010Black Hole Sun, Won't You Come, And Wash Away The -- BOOOOOOM!! Yep, That Did It
This is a picture of a super-massive black hole erupting and spewing all kinds of outerspace shit everywhere. How massive is super-massive? Try six billion times bigger than our sun. I told you that dim bastard was a runt!
This is a composite of two images, one taken in radio wavelengths by the Very Large Array (in red) and the other in X-rays by the orbiting Chandra Observatory (in blue). The X-rays are being emitted by gas blasting away from the black hole, heated up by the disk and the magnetic fields affiliated with the hole itself. The radio waves are from gas that previously existed outside and farther away from the black hole, which is being slammed into, stirred up, and swept away by the outflowing gas.
Well I don't know about you, but I'll definitely be sleeping well tonight finally knowing what a super-massive blackhole erupting looks like. Now I know what you're wondering, "but GW, what about a smaller, less massive blackhole -- what does one of those erupting look like?" And the answer to that, my friend, is BOO! Now quick -- peep your drawls!
