Experts warn Tripa orangutan extinction imminent
Friends of the Earth Indonesia (Walhi) and other civil society groups have called on the Indonesian courts urgently address the spate of recent fire burning throughout the protected Tripa peat swamps, an area hosting one of the highest densities of orangutans anywhere in the world.
At a press conference Dr Ian Singleton of the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme warned that the population of Sumatran orangutans in the Tripa peat swamps, a UNEP/UNESCO Great Ape Survival Partnership priority site for Great Ape Conservation, is in immediate jeopardy, and unless the current wave of destruction can be halted is likely to be exterminated before the end of the year.
"The population in Tripa is considered to have been around 3,000 orangutans in the early 90's but there are probably less than 200 today, of a global population of just 6,600. Many orangutans are already fleeing the fires, along with many other wildlife species.
"At this rate Tripa's orangutan population will be locally extinct by the end of 2012", said Dr. Singleton. "It is no longer several years away, but just a few months or even weeks before this iconic creature disappears from the Tripa swamps forever" he continued.
Ironically, any orangutans that are captured and kept illegally as pets during this process will be the 'lucky' ones, the survivors, but they will be refugees from a forest that no longer exists. The other's will simply die, either directly in the fires, killed by people, or of gradual starvation and malnutrition as their food resources disappear. We are currently watching a global tragedy.
The audience was shown satellite imagery of the firestorm that is sweeping across Tripa's protected forests. Local sources have also spoken to some of the plantation workers contracted to clear the forests where most of the fires are occurring. According to them they were instructed not to do such a thorough job of clearing the vegetation as it was all going to be burned anyway, strongly suggesting a premeditated and very deliberate contravention of laws that forbid the use of fires for land clearance in peatlands.
Teguh Surya, climate justice specialist with Walhi (Friends of the Earth Indonesia), stated that it is imperative that the judges in the above legal case reach a fair and just decision and that the Kallista Alam permit be immediately cancelled. He also expressed that the Norwegian government must have the courage to insist that an independent and transparent team is established to monitor the implementation of the Government's letter of intent and investigate the suspicious amendments to the moratorium map that removed the Kallista Alam concession from the area 'off limits'. He also proposed that the existing moratorium on new permits should not be for a limited period only, and should include provisions for much improved governance of the palm oil industry, leading to more transparency, enhanced law enforcement and social accountability.
The general consensus was that the situation of the Tripa Peat Swamps and their orangutan population is now so critical that only immediate action will save them. The presenters stressed that there is still hope if only Indonesia would enforce its own laws, and issued a strong list of demands to this end (see following).

Wayne Thiebaud (American, born 1920)
River Intersection, 2010
Oil on board 48 x 36 inches
Crocker Art Museum, gift of the Thiebaud Family, 2010.10 Art © Wayne Thiebaud/Licensed by VAGA, New York, NY2010.1
Like many artists of his generation, Wayne Thiebaud began his career as a commercial artist, including a short stint as a teen at Walt Disney Studios, before formally studying at San Jose State University. He came to Sacramento in the early 1950s for graduate study at (then) Sacramento State College and taught at Sacramento City College for nine years. In 1960, he joined the faculty of the art department at the University of California, Davis.
Thiebaud might have remained a beloved regional figure but for a 1956–57 teaching hiatus during which he worked on Madison Avenue in New York City. There he became acquainted with Elaine and Willem de Kooning, Philip Pearlstein, and other art luminaries. The turning point was a one-man exhibition at Allan Stone Gallery in 1962, which featured Thiebaud's still lifes. This happened to be the moment the Pop Art movement captured the nation's attention, and Thiebaud's subjects were confectioners' delights. In a May 1962 Time magazine summation of Pop Art's stars, Thiebaud's Allan Stone Gallery show inspired the moniker, The Slice-of-Cake School.
With a bright palette, consumerist imagery, and graphic presentation, Thiebaud's paintings were of the moment, but differed from Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Rosenquist. Those artists emphasized the methods and appearance of mechanical reproduction, but Thiebaud was a painterly practitioner. Depicting his subjects against clean white backgrounds, he outlined his forms with bands of rainbow color, creating an optical halation that further activated the surface of his work. He set the confections against vibrant blue shadows, and the cool contrast this provided to the artificial colors of the sugary treats became a signature element of Thiebaud's style. With their thick, luscious impasto, Thiebaud's paintings are greatly admired for the manner in which his edibles appear fully modeled and tantalizingly delicious.
Thiebaud's figure studies from the same period, including the portrait of wife Betty Jean, expand upon the explorations evident in the still lifes. In this instance, a contemplative Betty Jean and her open book of portrait studies are rendered in a markedly subdued palette that serves not only to differentiate her importance from other subjects, but also to convey the artist's greater life aspirations. With this conception, Thiebaud asserted himself as a knowledgeable and dedicated artist as opposed to a passing Pop faddist. Likewise, Thiebaud turned to the landscape during the 1960s and, by the 1980s, was highly regarded for his vertiginous interpretations of the San Francisco cityscape. A profound response to the Sacramento landscape, with its broad river bends and flat, but colorful plains simultaneously runs throughout Thiebaud's production, resulting in a substantial body of works on paper and luscious oils, such as the one shown on the next page, that establish an intimate record of the artist's engagement with place.

Chocolate Helps Aging Blood VesselsPosted: Thursday, August 17, 2006
Flavonol-Rich cocoa improves blood vessel function.
Getting your chocolate fix may actually help fix aging blood vessels, according to a new study.
Researchers found adults who drank a specially processed cocoa beverage rich in flavonols for four to six days improved their blood vessel function, and older adults appeared to benefit the most.
"Aging is typically associated with deterioration in vessel health, specifically related to function of the critical inner lining, or endothelium," says researcher Naomi Fisher, MD, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, in a news release. "Our findings demonstrate that consumption of this flavonol-rich cocoa can improve the function of blood vessels in a healthy elderly population."
Flavonols are a class of antioxidants found in plant-based foods and beverages -- such as cocoa, wine, and tea -- which have been increasingly linked to heart benefits.
In the study, researchers had 15 healthy adults under age 50 and 19 healthy adults over 50 drink a specially made flavonol-rich cocoa every day for four to six days.
The cocoa beverage was made with Mars Cocoapro, which is a process that helps retain the flavonols naturally found in cocoa beans. Mars Inc. provided the cocoa beverage and also provided partial funding for the study.
Before and after the study, researchers measured the participants' blood vessel function.
The results showed blood vessel function improved among both younger and older adults after the cocoa phase. But these improvements were more pronounced in the older group.
Researchers say the findings agree with previous studies that suggest flavonols found in cocoa appear to benefit blood vessel function by influencing the body's production of nitric oxide, which helps regulate blood vessel tone.
But before you reach for that chocolate bar, experts say the flavonol-rich cocoa products used in these studies should not be confused with commercially available snacks that contain many calories but are low in natural cocoa and flavonols.

The RobotGeek Tilt Sensor is a fast and flexible way to add basic orientation sensing to your Arduino Project. By reading this sensor as a digital input, you can determine if your project is tilted or not.
This sensor is unique because of the orientation of its ports. Instead of having the tilt switch soldered into the board, there are two 2-pin female ports. This allows you to orient your tilt vertically or horizontally to suit your project best.
If you need your tilt switch to be further away from your sensor board , just add a 2-pin Jumper cable and a 2-pin Coupler to extend your tilt switch or mount it at a different angle..

Not a bad little place. Not as Outlaw Biker as those who remember The Bottoms Up might think. $2 membership. No daytime cover. $20 dances. Decent looking daytime dancers.
Sparky's Sports Bar – I go to Sparky's about once a week. It's a nice, calm bar for people who like to relax. You can play music on the jukebox during the day and at night (after 6) there's a DJ. They have two pool tables and if you're looking for someone to play there is no shortage of good competition! They don't have a wide variety of alcohols but they definitely cover the basics so everyone can find at least one thing they like. The girls are great too. They have them big, small, black, white, and everything in between. Again, something for everybody! ; D

Michael Vick
Since NFL player contracts aren't fully guaranteed and constrained by the salary cap, a majority of them are year-to-year propositions. Players are released in each offseason due to the salary cap or because their performances don't justify their salaries. Here's an early look at 10 guys who the National Football Post says could become salary cap casualties after the season.
Michael Vick signed a five-year, $80 million contract after his impressive 2010 season, but since then he has been a disappointment. Through six games this season Vick has been sacked 17 times and has been responsible for 13 turnovers. The Eagles can gain $12.7 million in cap room by releasing him.

When did the Law Enforcement Torch Run begin?
The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics began in 1981 when Wichita, Kansas (USA) Police Chief Richard LaMunyon saw an urgent need to raise funds and increase awareness of Special Olympics. He conceived of the idea of a Torch Run as a way to involve local law enforcement personnel in the community with Special Olympics. Three years later, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) leant its support and leadership, as well as the involvement of all facets of the law enforcement community-sheriff's associations, police unions, state, county, municipal, military, and federal law enforcement agencies, and corrections officers.
When did Nashville join the Law Enforcement Torch Run?
In 1986 the IACP conference was held in Nashville, Tennessee. During the conference then Metro Police Chief, Joe Casey, initiated the Tennessee Law Enforcement Torch Run. In 1995 Chief Turner appointed Captain Ron Hooper to oversee the Metro Police Department's involvement with the Torch Run. Captain Hooper has since retired, but the Metro Nashville Police Department has watched its commitment grow from $50,000 in 1995 to more than $100,000.
How do law enforcement officers raise money?
Most Torch Run programs raise money through the Torch Run itself; law enforcement officers who participate in the Run collect pledges in order to participate or collect sponsorships for each mile they run. The sales of Torch Run t-shirts to runners and to the public also generates significant money. The Law enforcement Torch Run has blossomed into a year-round fund raising initiative. Each year members of the Metro Police Department work together to raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics with various fundraising events such as Cops & Lobsters with area Red Lobster Restaurants, a community day with Wal-Mart, silent auctions, an annual golf tournament, and T-shirt sales.
For more information on Special Olympics Tennessee visit the Special Olympics Tennessee website. You can also visit the official Law Enforcement Torch Run For Special Olympics website.
A current two-month calendar of events is posted and updated often. There is a phone line available for those who do not have internet access that will provide current information on upcoming events - (615) 880-3004. Callers can leave a message that will be returned within three working days.
If you wish to participate in an upcoming event please complete the form for the prospective event and return with entry fee to Law Enforcement Torch Run c/o Metro Police Department, 200 James Robertson Parkway, Nashville, Tennessee, 37201. Each event has an event coordinator that can answer any questions you may have. All events carry the required permits and insurance.
Individuals and businesses are encouraged to become sponsors of the Law Enforcement Torch Run. Information on sponsorship opportunities is listed below. Simply complete the sponsorship form and either mail to Law Enforcement Torch Run c/o Metro Police Department, 200 James Robertson Parkway, Nashville, Tennessee, 37201, or fax to (615) 880-3033 c/o Sgt. Anna-Maria Williams.
The majority of money raised through the Torch Run stays right in our community, helping our local Special Olympics Program grow. 60% of every fund raising dollar benefits hometown Special Olympics athletes, while 40% is used for the benefit of Special Olympic programs across the state.

The Placer County Board of Supervisors voiced its support Tuesday for a three-day event being organized to assist residents who are veterans or active-duty military personnel.
The event's primary goal is assisting homeless veterans and their families, but all veterans and active-duty personnel are invited. Experts estimate there are approximately 107,000 homeless veterans in the United States.
The board approved a resolution supporting the event and commending the Chaplaincy at the urging of 1st District Supervisor Jack Duran.
In times of war, a Stand Down is an opportunity for exhausted combat units to leave battlefields and stay in secure base camps while they take care of personal hygiene, get clean uniforms, enjoy warm meals, receive medical and dental care, receive and mail letters, and enjoy the camaraderie of friends.
"In the military, Stand Down afforded battle-weary soldiers the opportunity to renew their spirit, health and overall sense of well-being," Supervisor Duran explained in a report to his board colleagues, noting that the Placer County Stand Down will extend the same opportunity to both veterans and active-duty military personnel.
Stand Down events are part of a grassroots, community-based intervention program.
At the Placer County Stand Down, participants will be offered a broad range of assistance, including food, clothing, haircuts, health care services, benefits counseling, substance abuse assistance, job counseling and referrals, housing services and camaraderie.
The resolution approved by the board Tuesday notes that many veterans suffer from depression, anxiety and other difficulties readjusting after they return home, and get frustrated coping with the red tape they encounter while trying to get the benefits they earned.
Stand Down events are organized to offer participants one-stop shopping for the resources, materials and contacts they need.
The resolution emphasizes that the Placer County Stand Down will assist veterans and active-duty personnel from Placer County and neighboring counties.
The resolution concludes by thanking "all Veterans for their service and sacrifice for the freedoms of this great Nation."

Stifel Nicolaus market strategist Barry Bannister believes the S&P has more upside. A lot more.
"It's lonely at the top," says Bannister with a wink on CNBC's Fast Money.
Bannister was making a little joke but he's quite serious about his year-end price target.
He thinks there's a good chance the bulls get some traction in the second half as investors grow more willing to pay a higher multiple for financials and technology stocks.

text: I'm almost certain that most people are not aware that tomato seeds and tomato peels are not easily digested by the human body. The seeds of the tomato are comparable to the seeds of a cantaloupe. A person would be helping him or herself extraordinarily if he or she took the time to peel the tomato (with a regular potato peeler), cut the tomato into sections, and spoon out all the seeds as one does with a cantaloupe. I guarantee a transformation of the body physical, and, if a person were to eat a tomato with the seeds and peel after he or she has tried the alternative above, I think he or she would notice a distinct difference in his or her body physical.

TravelSox 41 41
Wonderful! So comfortable, used for 12 hour flight and felt no fatigue whatsoever. March 19, 2014
works! As an airline pilot who flies a lot of long-haul routes with many 12 -17 hour ocean crossings, I encounter long periods of sitting despite adequate rest opportunities. After trying these socks on several trips now, I am convinced that they improve blood circulation in the legs and inhibit swelling. Even though I think the socks are way to expensive, they may be necessary to support my vascular health. Due to the high cost I am only wearing them during the long flights to get more time out of them. October 6, 2011
Good Insurance I have taken these TravelSox on several 10-hour flights and have never had a swelling problem so I believe they are good insurance. My wife always 'borrows' a pair of mine for the flights. We can feel the graduated compression... Which is a good thing on the flight but I find them difficult to put on and to pull up over my (heavier) calves since the top section has the most compression. One can wear these sox for daily needs on-tour because standing around demands extra support, too; however, the fabric is thin (washes and dries very well) but does not provide much padding for walking. I take Coolmax-blend walking socks for most of my daily wearing needs. April 7, 2011
Please Remove the Logo! In my job as a teacher, I end up spending many hours at a time completing paperwork on a computer. My feet can really swell when I have to do this, and I love the way these socks keep the swelling down. When I first began purchasing these socks there was no logo on the side. I generally wear quite long skirts to work that cover the logo, but a few of my skirts aren't quite long enough to do so. I'm not as ancient as all this makes me sound, and I have actually gone out of my way to purchase boots, just so I can still wear the socks with my not-quite-so-long skirts without looking like someone's invalid grandmother! Really, I can't imagine that the potentially embrassing logo enhances the product in any way. Please consider redesigning the socks without the logo. November 2, 2013
Travel Compressin Socks Best socks for travel or standing all day. Best if hand dried. February 25, 2014
Good socks despite some fit issues I must have the fattest legs in North America because every knee sock I try is too tight at the top. I routinely find the stitching where the top folds into a cuff and remove it. With these socks that does the trick, thank goodness, though I do still have to get a size too large for my foot to accommodate my enormous legs (which really do not look much bigger than normal). That said, I do like these socks: they are more substantial and easier to put on than compression stockings but not as thick as Jobst compression socks, which require me to buy shoes a half size larger. The socks are comfortable and, once I make my alterations, do not bind at all at the top as most socks do. I'm going to buy more of them and get rid of some of the leg-stranglers in my sock drawer. October 7, 2013
Great socs I wear a women's size 9 1/2 - 10, am 5ft, 8 in tall, and the M is great. I got a large 1st, and sent it back for a M with no hassles what so ever. I am on my feet all day and have a little trouble with swelling and my legs ache at the end of the day. This soc helps so much that, in spite of them being pricey, I am getting 3 more, and plan on wearing them regularly. They seem heavy enough that they should last a long time, and not get holes in the toes. October 30, 2011
I love these sox! They're not just for flying - I love these sox for everyday wear. January 17, 2014

CDE Mailer (dtmail) is the mail user agent (MUA) for CDE, which is
installed on Solaris 8 and 9 by default. It provides an intuitive,
easy-to-use GUI for reading, sending, and managing electronic mail.
Dtmail supports both MIME and Sun Mail Tool message formats for reading
and sending messages. In addition to local and NFS mailboxes, it also
supports the use of IMAP4 for accessing remote mailboxes. Dtmail
provides a mail-pervasive desktop environment by supporting the Mail(4)
and Display(4) Media Exchange messages. Other applications can compose,
send, and display electronic mail messages using the ToolTalk API and
these Media Exchange messages.
Exploitation of a format string vulnerability in the dtmail binary
included with CDE can allow local attackers to gain mail group
The vulnerability specifically exists due to improper usage of a
formatted print function which allows a user supplied format to be
processed via the argv[0] value. Local attackers can specify a special
argv[0] containing format string characters to trigger the
vulnerability and execute arbitrary code. Program arguments are copied
onto the heap before being processed, so systems with non-executable
stack protection are also easily affected.
Successful exploitation leads to group mail access. CDE is a widely
deployed default desktop environment for UNIX operating systems. Gaining
the ability to read other user email accounts, including root, could
lead to exposure of highly sensitive data. The vulnerability is easily
exploitable even when stack protections are enabled, furthering the
impact of exposure.
iDEFENSE has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in Solaris 8
and Solaris 9. It is believed that this vulnerability only affects the
Solaris implementation of CDE Mailer.
iDEFENSE is currently unaware of a workaround for this vulnerability.
The Sun advisory for this issue (SunAlert #57627) is available at:

Statement by Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, on Senate Vote to Reject H. Con. Res. 36, a Proposal to Bar Planned Parenthood from Receiving Federal Funds to Provide Preventive Health Care
Planned Parenthood Federation of America released the following statement today after the House passed and the Senate rejected H. Con. Res. 36, a proposal that would bar Planned Parenthood from providing preventive health services including birth control, breast and cervical cancer screenings, and STI testing and treatment, and HIV testing to patients who are covered by Medicaid and other federal programs.
Today, the US Senate listened to millions of American women and voted, 58-42, to reject H. Con. Res. 36, an extreme proposal to bar Planned Parenthood from providing preventive health service including birth control, breast and cervical cancer screenings, and STI (including HIV) testing to patients who are covered by Medicaid and other federal programs.
Planned Parenthood applauds the members of Congress who stood up for womens health and voted against this proposal.
This vote is a major victory for womens health and the millions of women who go to Planned Parenthood for health care.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans across the country made their voices heard in support of Planned Parenthood and opposed this radical proposal by calling Congress, writing and e-mailing their elected officials, and attending rallies. The grassroots support for Planned Parenthood was widespread and deep.
This extreme proposal was rightly rejected by Democrats and Republicans. In addition, members of Congress who support abortion rights, as well as those who oppose abortion rights, voted against this proposal, which would have denied women family planning and would have resulted in an increase in unintended pregnancy.
Even though the House Republican leadership insisted on forcing an up or down vote in the House and Senate on this extreme proposal today, all their political maneuvering accomplished was to show that the House leadership is willing to sacrifice womens health to advance a narrow ideological agenda.
While we are outraged that the House voted to pass H. Con. Res. 36 by a vote of 241-185, the outcome of that vote was not a surprise.
Any member of Congress who voted for this extreme proposal just cast a vote against womens access to lifesaving cancer screenings and birth control.
More than 90 percent of the health care Planned Parenthood provides and 100 percent of the care it provides through federal programs is preventive. We do not want one woman to be diagnosed with advanced cancer that our health centers could have detected early through screening, and were appalled that a fringe element of Congress would continue to put its narrow political agenda ahead of womens health and safety.
Thankfully, the Senate has made clear this extreme proposal is unacceptable and rejected it.

text: With technology rapidly on the rise in the past couple of years we have gained stronger techniques to improve our overall functionality. It is no surprise that most workers in the business industry have been given the opportunity to telecommute with more convenience that was ever thought possible. It is quite common in the business industry to hear that many individuals are capable of working from home completely or significantly spend less time commuting to the office and instead work remotely from the comfort of home. Many people who have had the privilege of working from home will tell you that it is now simple to get in contact with co-workers and management by utilizing tools such as social networking or VOIP communication programs. Most who work at home find Skype to be one of the most useful tools in their arsenal and are able to send information/ files quickly, receive instant feedback from other individuals, share they're desktop and the ability to make long distance phone calls for free to other Skype users. The latest technologies have enabled us to remote into our office computers and allow us to work with the functionality of physically being at the office in front of the computer. Along with the recent advances we have also been gifted with the ability to work collaboratively in an almost effortless and instantaneous manner. It is now a possibility for teams of workers to instant message or call each other using the internet in order to complete projects, ask questions or even receive remote help with just the click of a button.

For Instructors
10 Reasons to go to WSSC
01/20/2011 7:45 pm
WSSC is just around the corner. I often talk with other instructors at the clubs I teach at to attend this amazing event. If you are not sure if you?ll get your money?s worth, let me assure you that you?ll walk away from that conference with a newfound energy and so many ideas to improve your teaching, profile designs and your own riding. I can still remember my first conference. I was a new instructor going to get my STAR points for my recertification. I attended the last WSSC in Chicago and vowed to go every year that I could. Since then I?ve been to Miami six times to attend WSSC. Why should you go? Let me give you my top 10 list (no particular order). You will be among peers from all over the world. You can share your experiences with other instructors and find that you share a common bond. You will be among experts. The Master Instructors for Spinning ®, Bodyblade®, Peak Pilates®, Resist-a-ball® and freeform® conduct over 300 sessions. You can ask those pesky questions and get expert advice from any of them either in a session of if you happen to see them in the lobby of the hotel. You will walk away with new ideas for your profiles. There are many special rides at WSSC. Some will make you cry others will leave you laughing. All will inspire you in ways you never thought possible. You will leave with new ideas for your music. Be prepared to hear music that really moves you. You will realize that you get it. If teach with proper form and avoid contraindications, riding with the Master Instructors is a great way to affirm your coaching styles. Your batteries will be recharged. Sometimes we hit a plateau and need something new to inspire us. I can guarantee that you will be inspired at the conference and find a new source of energy to take back with you. You will make new friends and cherish the time you spend together. WSSC is like a family reunion where everyone gets along. When you leave, you will be sad and will be anxious to reunite with your friends next year. There is always something to do in South Beach. Meet up with friends and take a cab to South Beach and shop, eat or celebrate (not too much if you plan to ride the next day). The boutique offers you the chance to see all of the apparel and accessories in one place. There are some great deals as well. Take a look around and pick up your favorite gear. It is in Miami (enough said). If you are interested in going, check out www.wsscmiami.com to register or learn more about WSSC. I hope to see you there!!! blog by Ralph Mlady for community.spinning.com 1/20/11Share

Ambitious, perhaps, but when you consider how far the L.A.-based underground duo has come with their own clothing line, TV appearances and numerous club hits like "I'm In Miami, Bitch!", it's left many wondering when the party is coming.
And now, having used mainly word of mouth, daily YouTube videos and an ever-expanding MySpace page that boasts 2 million play hits, LMFAO is bringing the global party to Reno at the Grand Sierra Resort's Pearl Lounge on Saturday night.
Two years ago, the party was still just getting started. Both Hollywood locals, Sky Blu and his uncle RedFoo, could be found spinning at night clubs, bringing their experimental electronic style to the mainstream dance scene.
Before long, both RedFoo and Sky Blu started mixing their own beats, courtesy of a makeshift, at-home recording studio, some mixed tapes and their quirky, often off-color humor. Thus, "I'm in Miami, Bitch!" hit MySpace, bringing some sass and a fun, comedic spin that would eventually become their signature style.
Once the tireless videos and self-produced tracks caught on (which includes the likes of "Lil Hipster Girl" and "I'm Not a Whore"), LMFAO caught the attention of Interscope Records, launching their independent careers to the status of recognizable, if not big time.
With their large, funky, lensless glasses, even larger hair and pimp-style jackets, recognition is their strong point. They have even gone as far as to launch their own Party Rock clothing line that features T-shirts emblazoned with gold chains and their afro silhouettes.
LMFAO is certainly turning goofing around into a hit-making process while earning their name, derived from the Internet abbreviation for laughing one's rear end off.
For example, their song "I'm Not A Whore" stems from a pick-up scheme that both RedFoo and Sky Blu used on unsuspecting women. As RedFoo explained in a previous interview, when women would compliment their hair or outfits, both jokesters would reply, "Just because you're giving me compliments, doesn't mean I'll sleep with you. I'm not a whore."
They swear the line worked.
Feeling confident, LMFAO tackled their next endeavor — remixing Kanye West's "Love Lockdown," and thereby making the already beat-filled and synthesized song more dance ready.
Again, both the YouTube and blog worlds exploded, creating a buzz about this duo. And understandably so, since they remixed an artist that boasts himself as one of the greatest things to happen to music today.
Now, with a full-length album, "Party Rock," scheduled to fittingly debut this year on April Fool's day, LMFAO has taken off, discussing single remix opportunities with such popular dance music artists like Lady Gaga and Chris Cornell.
From MTV appearances to making their own trends, LMFAO is stopping for no one.
Party planet, we have contact.
Doors open at 10 p.m. Tickets are $16 in advance and $20 the day of the show and can be purchased at the Grand Sierra Resort box office, by calling (800) 648-3568 or online at www.ticketmaster.com.

BOWLING GREEN — Lydia Gumm's golfing heroics won't soon be forgotten, even though this season ended without a state championship. A state title that eluded and dodged her for 10 years.
Gumm couldn't hide her disappointment when her high school career came to an end Wednesday in the Leachman Buick-GMC-Cadillac/KHSAA Girls' State Golf Championship at Bowling Green Country Club. Tears flowed as she received countless hugs from family, fellow competitors and fans.

text: Hey guys- Not sure if this is the right place but not sure where else to look. I have a job site fan with a three position rotary switch: low, med and high. When I have it on any speed but most noticeably on low the fan's RPM will all of a sudden climb but not as high as if it were set to 'med'. Is the switch bad somehow and allowing some current to pass? Motor dying? Any input would be great, Thanks.
