Juan Francisco Idme pours liquor into a water reservoir in highland Ccochapata, Peru, as an offering to Pachamama – Peru's "Mother Earth". ALERTNET/Erik Struyf Palacios
From the air above the town of Puno, the Peruvian Altiplano appears an endless plain where only clumps of ichu grass withstand the harshness of the sun and lack of water.
But looks deceive: these parched lands in the country's southeast, located at 4,000 metres altitude (13,000 feet), are home to thousands of poor farmers who for centuries have managed to grow potatoes and grain in this rugged environment.
Today, as droughts become longer, Puno's inhabitants are relearning ancestral practices of cooperative farming and water harvesting to cope with the challenges associated with climate change.
"We cannot wait for the regional or national government to help us solve our problems," says Zenon Gomel Apaza, an agronomist and farmer. "The consequences of climate change are occurring now. We have to cope with what we know and have."
The agronomist won a Rolex Award for Enterprise in 2006 for helping 500 families in Pucara, 60 km (38 miles) north of Lake Titicaca, to widen the genetic variety of their crops to increase food security.
For the past two years, the Asociacion Savia Andina Pucara (ASAP), a nongovernmental organisation focused on agriculture and food security and founded by Gomel Apaza, also has been working to improve water security in Peru's highlands. In April, the new venture garnered him an Indigenous and Traditional Peoples Conservation Fellowship from the US-based NGO Conservation International.
In the village of Quenauni Alto, 20 km (13 miles) from Pucara, Mario Arapa has constructed several cochas (small ponds) on his land under the guidance of ASAP.
Each cocha is no more than two metres by four metres in size (6.5 feet by 13 feet) and only one metre (3.25 feet) deep, but for Arapa and his eight children these traditional reservoirs make the difference between surviving in a harsh environment and capitulation to worsening conditions.
"Frosts are (now) more frequent and last longer. The sun burns harder," says Arapa. "Before (washed) clothes took two days to dry, now just one day."
Eddy Wilber Ramos, an agronomist and Gomel Apaza's assistant, says tougher times mean "there are dozens of families who are migrating from these areas because they are no longer able to tolerate the climate conditions in which they must work."
According to Arapa, his crops of quinoa – an Andean highland grain - are threatened not only by flocks of birds but by new, previously unknown pests. But the biggest problem is the scarcity of water.
"Before, it began to rain in October. Nowadays we must wait almost until December for rain," he says.
To deal with the problem, Arapa has dug a narrow trench in the ground to supply his reservoir with water. It channels a small spring welling from the hillside.
Gomel Apaza explains that the redirected water accumulates in the cochas. As these have no lining, water slowly seeps into the earth, recharging the aquifers. The cochas also serve as water reservoirs for the dry season.
Collecting and harvesting water allows Arapa to have a permanent supply for his cattle and has enabled him to double his production of fodder by irrigating more than three-quarters of a hectare (nearly two acres) of his land in the dry season.
Projects like ASAP seek to remedy some of the damage caused by the "Green Revolution" that began in the 1960s. The revolution – which focused on introducing high-yielding seeds and introducing more use of farm chemicals and other technology – dramatically raised crop yields in many places around the world.
But the revolution also reduced the once dramatic genetic diversity of crop species available in the Andes. As climate change worsens, this lack of choices has made farmers in the Andes more vulnerable to shifting conditions and less able to respond.
Some farmers also argue that the Green Revolution brought with it a competitive, individualist model for farming which weakened cooperation among farmers.
Gomel Apaza is quick to point out that ASAP's project addresses these social consequences too.
"We are encouraging the farmers to recover old forms of cooperation between families – like ayni and minka," he says, referring to practices of reciprocity dating back to the Inca period. Ayni means that one person helps another with agricultural work or construction, with the understanding that the favour will be returned in the future. Minka refers to the help that someone gives to another farmer in harvesting, in return for a share of the crops.
ASAP is also seeking to reinstate the rituals of earlier generations, such as thanking the Pachamama (Mother Earth) and asking her to be propitious.
"In this way we help strengthen social ties, and we promote the care and respect of the environment," Gomel Apaza explains. "Regaining the awareness that we are part of nature and that this is not just a resource, but our mother, changes the feelings and attitudes towards it."
In Ccochapata, a community near Queñuani Alto, Juan Francisco Idme examines his cochas in the company of 16-year-old John Roma.
"With the help of the engineers (Gomel Apaza and Wilber Ramos) and listening to our grandparents, I am harvesting water where before there was only dry land," says the 62-year-old. "And this knowledge I try to convey to the young, because I don't want it to be lost," he adds, pointing at Roma.
Since schools do not teach the practicalities of water conservation and agriculture, Idme asks teachers informally for time to educate some students.
Gomel Apaza also worries about the intergenerational transmission of knowledge. And he is aware that for water harvesting in the mountains to be work sustainably, the scale of the effort needs to increase – something that often requires the involvement of political authorities.
The president of Puno region, Mauricio Rodriguez, says that he appreciates Gomel Apaza's efforts and is convinced that Puno is primarily an agricultural area, despite recent attempts by some residents to open unlicensed small-scale mines.
But he sees a different way of bringing water to the region.
"We have great agricultural potential," he says. "To solve the problem of lack of water we must build a chain of mega-reservoirs throughout the basin. We have over 30 projects needing funding."
Gomel Apaza is sceptical. "With what money will they build these mega-projects?" he asks. He believes that Peru lacks the resources needed to tackle growing water stress, which is expected to worsen as the region's remaining glaciers disappear and climate change shifts rainfall patterns.
In the coming weeks, ASAP is organising 10 community forums that will lead to a national forum for representatives of indigenous communities on Nov. 12 this year.
"The goal is to share experiences and take up the proposals of the peasants to face the consequences of climate change," says Gomel Apaza.
He hopes that these ideas will become part of the proposal that Peru takes to the UN-led international climate talks the same month.

I got almost the same as you. The Stella bronzer is so awesome! I love it! You totally rock that mask, by the way. :)ReplyDelete
That picture is hot! i plan to use my mask tonight! Have you used the tanning towelettes yet?I'm excited but nervous.ReplyDelete
I love those self-tanning towels and have been using them for several years. The mask is new to me.ReplyDelete
I just recently found your blog from the guest post you shared about centering your blog pages. I'm hoping you can help me with how to add the gadget, blog list, to a page so that it updates with a new post. Here's a link to a blog where it works.

Headlands Arts Centre
by admin on Nov.23, 2010, under Photography, Travel
The beauty of this natural setting cannot be described too effusively. After spending a week in San Francisco, the quiet and natural setting is very restful at the Headlands Arts Centre in Marin County. I have been trying to spend time outside as I know it will be colder when I return home to Vancouver. This is a retreat, so internet is only available in the main buildings, not in the studio or houses and there is no cell coverage.
The studio that Lisle Ellis is sharing with me is a basketball court that we are re-purposing. I will provide photos when I have my hard drives, the internet and computer all in one place. Until then, here is a photo of Lisle rehearsing with the Oakland Active Orchestra. He is conducting the orchestra and teaching them his music.
When we first came to San Francisco, Lisle worked with this large ensemble and I am processing the video, but I also have a technical problem there as the Voltaic mt2s file conversion software is not working well on the new macbook. This seems to be a time of technical difficulties, so I am drifting away to more natural spaces. Sampled natural textures are the starting point for electronic explorations, video of oceanscapes will be projections. Photos of bleaching whalebones, the framework for digital art explorations. The computer is my lens, my palette and my delivery mechanism.
This month in the Bay Area has opened my eyes to new horizons and I am very grateful to Lisle Ellis for inviting me to share this time with him. I return to Vancouver November 27th.
Here are some photos from the American Thanksgiving at Headlands. What great food and friendship!

Telkom Kenya – Orange unveils more affordable smartphones
Orange has brought a new entry-level, 3G enabled smartphone into the local market.
The Huawei Gaga, retailing for KSh 8,799 is targeted at middle income earners, students and young professionals. Orange says it also brings with it a new experience to accessing social media platforms – such as FaceBook and Twitter.
The 3G enabled device comes bundled with free one month unlimited data from Orange, has a 3.5 megapixel camera, amongst other innovative features, that allow for the user to share internet connectivity with colleagues with other Wi-Fi enabled devices in the same location.
This turns the Huawei Gaga into a portable Wi-Fi hot spot. The one month unlimited data bundle will be valid for 30 days on activation, after the customer makes a top up with any amount of airtime.
According to Telkom Kenya CEO, Mickael Ghossein, affordability of smart phones is critical to pushing the country's internet penetration beyond the current rate of 8%.
A recent research by Informa Telecoms and Media shows that the 3G/WCDMA subscriptions had grown by 157% last year, representing 6% of the total mobile subscription in the region.
The report also indicates that by the end of 2011, smartphone connections represented 5% of Africa's total mobile subscriptions.
But as part of aggressively growing the data revenues and subscription numbers, Ghossein affirmed that Orange was working to ensure greater access to affordable data devices such as laptops, handsets and modems.

Well, I admit I got carried away just a tad. This is my creation for the sketch challenge on day 19 at My Sketch World.
I don't really feel good about it, it too much differs from the sketch.
I used some very old paper from K&Company, the MS *Around the corner* punch, some lace and a few large brads.

Our agents pay attention to every detail about your important purchase. The type of contract that you use to make an offer is important. Our agents will advise you on whether an "As-Is" contract is better way to make an offer versus a contract with repair limits. There is a vast difference. For example, an "As-Is" contract allows a buyer to escape the contract for any reason once inspected. Where a contract calls for repair limits of 1.5% of the sales price to discuss and negotiate inspection related "warranted" repair items. This type of contract is not as easy to escape. The term "warranted" opens the door for possible conversations that may not be in the best interest of a buyer. Your agent can best determine which type of contract best suits your needs.
Our number one priority is your purchase and getting the most for your money. Each agent that works with GetMoreOffers® has buyer skills that are exceptional, has demonstrated their professionalism through work ethic, real estate contract knowledge and excellent local knowledge.

ACTerm is a color terminal emulator that
provides access to the core Unix functions of MAC OS X. Each terminal window is defined by a ACTerm session file or
ACTSH file. The default startup is an interactive shell: bash (Bourne-again shell). ACTSH files can be launched from
the desktop or through Finder. When ACTSH files are selected with finder they are loaded and the startup command is
executed. Once the ACTerm application is running, new sessions may be created with Save-As or Save-To menu options, and
existing ACTSH files can be opened without running to allow for updating startup commands and exit conditions. Each
ACTSH file contains a color setup, initial position and size, along with a startup command. For advanced features like
running scripts, new file extensions, or terminal application programming, a knowledge of shell programing is required.
A working knowledge of the vi/vim text editor is strongly recommended for all shell users.
● Multiple sessions. Each session has a settings file which defines the colors, screen size, and commands.
● Default screen size: 31 Lines X 112 columns.
● Up to 3 window sizes depending on your display resolution (800x580, 1020x740, 1250x920)
● Built in fixed pitch fonts are designed for maximum readability.
● Definable color sets with over 20 predefined color sets.
● Copy and Paste functions.
● Print screen function.
● Proprietary terminal type: TERM=acterm with TERMINFO data.
● Includes a list of available escape sequences.
● 8 foreground and background colors to support 'ls -G' CLICOLOR features.
● User definable handling of file extensions.

Little is known about this unusual looking dolphin. Their bodies become whiter as they age and accumulate scars. They can dive to depths of up to 300m.
Risso's Dolphin identification
Risso's Dolphins belong to a group called the Cetaceans, which includes all other dolphin species, as well as porpoises and whales. They are also members of Family Delphinidae, the so called Small Toothed Whales, which are also sometimes referred to as the true dolphins. The word dolphin is adapted from the word delphis which means fish with a womb.
Risso's Dolphins get their common name from Mr. Risso, who first described the species in 1812. The scientific name Grampus griseus is derived from the word grisieus meaning grizzled (mottled with grey). The term grampus may come from the Latin words granis for large and piscis for fish.
These dolphins have a robust body. Their head is bulbous and lacks a distinct beak. They also have a distinct crease that runs up their forehead. The dorsal fin is situated mid way down their back and is tall and falcate. Like other toothed whales, delphinids have a single blowhole situated on the top of their head.
Risso's are very light grey to white in colour; adults usually have many scars from teeth raking with other dolphins. They may also have marks caused by lampreys and cookie cutter sharks.
Risso's Dolphin adaptations
Risso's Dolphins can dive to depths of up to 300m, holding their breath for up to 30 minutes, although they usually only dive for 1-2 minutes at a time. The dentition of the Risso's Dolphin is abnormal in that there is a low overall number of teeth (2-7 pairs) and they lack teeth on their upper jaw.
Where do Risso's Dolphins live?
Risso's Dolphins occur in temperate, tropical and subtropical waters (where temperatures range from 10 to 30°C). They are generally found in areas with depths greater than 1,000m, although they are known to inhabit shallower coastal areas in the waters off Northern Europe.
How big are Risso's Dolphins?
Risso's Dolphins are medium sized dolphins, growing to lengths of 2.6-4m and weighing 300-500kg. There is little difference in size between males and females.
How long do Risso's Dolphins live?
Risso's are estimated to live for at least 45 years.
What do Risso's Dolphins eat?
The diet of Risso's consists mainly of squid, although they may also eat other cephalopods such as octopus and cuttlefish, as well as fish and krill. Over 70% of the prey taken by Risso's Dolphins are luminous or have cells that emit light called photophores, suggesting that they depend heavily on eyesight when feeding.
What eats Risso's Dolphins?
Humans are the only known predators for this species.
Risso's Dolphin life cycle and reproduction
Little is known about reproduction. However, we do know that breeding and calving can occur year round. The species also has a gestation period of 13-14 months.
Are Risso's Dolphins endangered and if so why?
Risso's Dolphins are listed as 'Least Concern' by the IUCN. This means that they are not currently at risk of extinction.
The primary threat to Risso's Dolphins is unintentional capture as bycatch from fishing gear. Risso's Dolphins have also been directly hunted for their meat and oil in Japan, Indonesia, the Solomon Islands and the Caribbean. A small number of Risso's have been taken from the wild for display in public aquariums.

I don't know about you, but I get overwhelmed by those 10- to 12-pan eyeshadow palettes à la Urban Decay's Naked eye shadow palette and its countless dupes. The max for me is a 5-pan eye shadow palette, and Jane Iredale's Daytime eyeshadow palette fits the bill.
The Jane Iredale Daytime eyeshadow palette was re-designed to create a generous round pan for its slightly shimmery eye shadow Oyster. Oyster makes a great highlighter.
The matte eyeshadows are, L to R, are Almond, Cappuccino, Dark Suede, and Charcoal. Almond and Cappuccino are great mid-tone shadows for the eyelid, while Dark Suede is great for the crease and Charcoal is great as an eyeliner.
All eyeshadows are silky and pigmented. Altogether, the perfect neutral eyeshadow palette.
Prices: $59.00 at dermstore.com (Ebates cash back) and $59.00 at janeiredale.com. I bought mine on jet.com (Ebates cash back) for $24.70.
My priorities are all eff'ed up. I tossed in the Jane Iredale Daytime eyeshadow palette merely to qualify for the $35.00 threshold for free shipping on jet.com – what I really wanted were L.A. Colors matte eyeshadow palettes at $1.66 apiece (yep, you read that right – more about that later.)

Kadavu Map, Fiji
Fiji's third largest island, Kadavu, is shaped like a wasp with two bays almost pinching it apart. Kadavu has few roads, and both islanders and visitors travel to outlying villages and resorts by speedboat from the island's airport at Vunisea.
The Fijian population is fiercely traditional. Most of the people are farmers whose kava roots are used to make Fiji's famous ceremonial beverage, yaqona. Protein is supplied by fish from Kadavu's fringing reefs and by the countless free-range chickens and pigs.
Kadavu is rich in endemic biodiversity. Introduced species such as the mongoose, mynah, bulbul, and cane toad which wiped out native species in most other parts of Fiji haven't reached the island. Among the birds, some species of honeyeaters, fantails, and velvet fruit doves are found only here. The famous red-and-green Kadavu musk parrots are readily seen and heard.
Aside from honeymooners on romantic resort vacations, the most frequent visitors to Kadavu are scuba divers intent on diving the fabulous Astrolabe Reef. Surfers catch their dream waves off Nagigia Island near Nabukelevuira in western Kadavu.
Kadavu Island has many isolated dive resorts, including Matana Beach Resort near Drue and Matava Hideaway on the south coast. Along Ono Channel between Ono and Kadavu islands is a cluster of small beach resorts, with Albert's Place catering to backpackers and others like Waisalima, Tiliva, and Jona's somewhat more upscale.

This story is told in 'Lost Dreaming, Aspects of traditional Aboriginal life of the Coolum District', a gem of a little book that can be found at the Coolum Library by Kerry & Sim Symon.
I keep thinking it is relevant to tell this story in times when big fierce warriors are focused on stealing the 'Beauty' of this place.

San Juan, Puerto Rico, August 4th 2017- Yesterday Governor Ricardo Rossello Nevares signed into law Senator Zoe Laboy's Senate Project 171 whose purpose was to "propose the development of a pilot project in schools directed at promoting gender equality and prevent discrimination in public schools throughout Puerto Rico; determine the number of schools which will participate in the project and other things related to the execution of the project."
We at Ateistas de Puerto Rico are satisfied with the decision of Governor Ricardo Rossello Nevares, Senator Zoe Laboy, as well as Julia Keleher the Secretary of the Department of Education, and the rest of the people who make up the team formed to come up with, develop, and execute this project. This initiative is quite promising for the people in this country, in which sexism has continued to cause much grief and violence. Gender based social inequality and other related conflicts and injustices that continue daily.
Shirley Rivera, president of Ateistas de Puerto Rico had this to say about the project: "I am very satisfied with the approval of the project by Senator Zoe Laboy, because it promotes gender equality among students, who in time will become the work force of Puerto Rico as well as the parents of the next generation." Ronaldo Torres a spokesperson of the organization says: "And just like we have criticized certain acts and projects of the government in the past we are also eager to recognize and congratulate the government when it turns positive proposals into exciting projects and laws."
Gender equality has been a controversial topic on the island, precisely because of the lack of education related to the topic. That has led to many groups throughout Puerto Rico, the majority of them being fundamentalist groups, have distorted the concepts of equity, equality, gender perspective, and others, to boycott projects like this which might have had or might have benefits for our children, women, and other citizens. That is to say: all of our citizens. With this law, we begin the process which will establish the steps we need to take to progress in this area and for that reason we urge the people and specifically those public workers working on this project to not be convinced by these organizations attempting to keep us from moving forward and embracing gender equality.
We want to add that atheist activism doesn't suggest or support the prohibition of religious practices or religious thought, just that we defend freedom of religion, and that we understand that decisions related to theistic ideas and religious practices are an entirely individualistic decision which cannot be coerced onto people and ought to be voluntary. Religious practices and beliefs belong in the private spaces of religious believers and ought to not interrupt or impose on the space of others and the public.

1. What is a board foot of lumber and how is it measured? The definition of a board foot is rather simple– one board foot is a piece of lumber that is 1 foot wide, 1 foot long and 1 inch thick, or its volumetric equivalent. An example a board measuring 1" thick in the rough and 6" wide and 8' long would be 4 board feet. Use the following formula: Thickness (inches) x width (inches) x length (feet) divided by 12. The same board in 8/4 or 2" thick in the rough would be 8 board feet.
2. What does 4/4, 5/4, and 8/4 mean? Lumber thicknesses are referred to as fractions, therefore a 4/4 board is 1" in the rough and a 5/4 board is 1 ¼" thick in the rough.
3. What does hit/miss planed or skim planed mean? This is taking a rough board and planning it slightly so the customer can see the lumber better, making it easier to choose the correct board for your project. These boards are not yet finish planed allowing the customer to plane to final desired thickness or we can plane if customers do not have access to a planer. Millwork requires advanced notice.
4. What width and length are our boards? Hardwood lumber is typically sold random width and length. This means that board widths typically range from 5" wide to 12" wide and lengths are typically 8-12' long. Widths and lengths can vary in different species of lumber and many unique sized boards are available as well. If you are looking for specific sizes you can always call/email ahead.
5. What does the term S2S, S3S, and S4S mean? If a board is finish planed to final thickness it is called S2S or surfaced to sides. If the board is planed to final thickness and has one straight edge it is referred to as S3S or surfaced three sides. If a board is finish planed, ripped one straight edge, and then ripped to a specific width (like the big box stores do) this is called S4S or surfaced four sides.
6. Is your lumber in the rough? Most of our lumber is hit/miss planed. This makes it easier for customers to choose their lumber but still is thick enough to allow room for milling to final thickness. If you desire rough lumber or lumber finish planed we can provide this with advanced notice before purchasing.
7. What grade of lumber do you carry? We carry the top of the line FAS grade lumber available in the industry unless otherwise noted.
8. Is your lumber kiln dried? Yes, our lumber is kiln dried to industry standards of 6-8% unless noted.
9. Will you cut boards for customers? We will cut lumber for customers to make hauling easier. For example, if you purchase a 12' long board we can cut into two 6' long boards if that is easier for you to take home with you. There is no charge for this service.
10. Do you ship plywood via FedEx or common carrier? We do ship plywood locally via our own trucks. We do not ship plywood via FedEx or common carrier unless the order contains lumber as well to wrap the plywood during transit. The reason for this policy is because plywood veneers can be easily damaged during shipment and require extreme amount of packaging time.
11. Is our lumber sold by the board foot or linear foot? All of our lumber is sold by the board foot except S4S boards and mouldings which are sold by the linear foot.
12. Are there minimum orders? No.

Wild Ocean
Each year an unbelievable feeding frenzy takes place in the oceans of South Africa as billions of sardines migrate up the KwaZulu-Natal Coast. "Wild Ocean" captures spectacular breaching whales, feeding sharks, diving gannets, and massive bait balls inside and up close on the giant screen.
The migration has provided an annual food source for both life in the sea and the people living along the African shores for countless generations. The film demonstrates how business, government, and the local people have joined forces to protect this invaluable ecological resource. "Wild Ocean" will delve audiences into an epic underwater struggle for survival and reveal the economic and cultural impact the migration has on the coastal communities.

Ego Shot Recordings 014 - Home Alone - Tobacco
- Home Alone - Tobacco
- Home Alone - Tobacco (Llupa's 16mg Remix)
- Home Alone - Tobacco (Mesmer Remix)
What can be better than a Cuban tobacco? The answer is a Tobacco by Home Alone. Original mix has rolling bass line and swirling plinky melodies. Llupa and Mesmer remixes are deeper than the original, both recommended for the progressive breaks fans.
General Midi - All 3 mixes bring something to the table, the original just wins out for me
Hexadecimal - Digging the original sounds wicked, will play for sure!
Duane Barry - Nice package - I find the mixture of aggressive bass and soft swirling melodies works great in all 3 tracks, especially the mesmer remix with it's explosive beats and haunting atmosphere - full support from me!
Line of Sight - Three top quality tunes here! Love the original - wicked bassline on this one and top-notch production as expected from Home Alone. Llupa's 16mg mix is so lush and epic and Mesmer's remix is a real progressive monster! Full support!
Yreane - Just awesome original from Home Alone. This guy is surprising me every tune he's doing. Simply great. Llupa is not so far from the orig. Cool track too but nothing special in it. Mesmer is making a lot of tunes. And that's why it's kind of equal to each other. And this is not an exception. Sounds cool but nothing new.
Kultur + Colombo - HQ release on Ego Shot recordings. Groovy remix by LLupa... full of good vibes ! Nuskool Breaks remix by Mesmer... full of magnetic sounds that captivate you ! The original mix also is on our way ... Progressive ! Support from our Metamorph Masterpieces show (Mixcloud) in the next weeks and also in our live sets.
Burjuy - In this year Mr.Home Alone rock the world!!! All of remixes are to my taste both Progressive from masters of deep breaks!!! and original is Awesome!!

Kreayshawn Talks Her Hood Pass, The N-Word, White Girl Mob & New Projects [PG.2]
They see a white fashionable girl that's rapping, but some people don't realize that you are actually from the hood. What validates you as being hood?
I didn't choose where I grew up. I was born in San Francisco and I was raised in Oakland. And that's just how it is, I'm not running around trying to convince people I'm from the hood. It's just that's what people seem to be worried about. I don't want people to know me as just a white girl rapper, I want it to be more than that. I understand because "Gucci Gucci" came out and that's how it is and people are saying it's a viral video and stuff like that, but this is just how I am. I'm not hella ghetto, I'm not going to come up to you and be like some crazy white ghetto chick. I know what I'm talking about, I'm smart. There's a whole bunch of different types of people that grow up in Oakland. All different kinds of income and different kinds of races and Oakland it's not a problem with race. I understand why outside of that people can have their opinions, but that's whatever.
We know about The White Girl Mob and we know about V-Nasty and we know she throws around the N-word loosely. But has anyone pulled you or your homegirl's card for using the N-word?
I've never said it. I don't say it. I don't say it in my music. I don't say it to my partnas. People call me that, but I don't sit there and call them that. Vanessa (V-Nasty), she'll tell you 'I'm from the ghetto this is where I be at, I got two kids' and that's what she does. She's been in and out of jail for over a year. That's just how she is. I've never seen anybody pull her card. If anybody had something to say I've definitely seen her handle it too. But, as for me I don't know if people get me mixed up with V-Nasty or it's just that we're all in the same crew so they think it's all together, but I don't say it. It goes back to NWA was doing their thing, that's just kind of just we're just making a powerful movement. I know people are hating on The White Girl Mob, but we're not going after anyone's head, we're not trying to kill hip-hop or whatever people are trying to say. I'm just trying to make a new wave of girl empowerment and girl gang and new wave Spice Girls or some s**t like that. People read into it way too deep. They gotta remember that we're all kids just trying to have fun when it comes down to it. We can't help where we're from, where we're raised, because in Oakland an Asian will call a Mexican that, a black person will call a white person that. It's normal, because we all know where we're from. I can see how it looks crazy from the outside.
Have you ever thought about how hard it's going to be in a white female in this male dominated culture (of hip-hop)?
I know it's hard, but growing up in general was hard. For me it's just natural to do whatever I wanna do and believe that's what's right, because that's what I feel like doing. I'm not going to turn back on anything because it might be hard for me. Like I said, I don't want to be seen as just the white girl rapper. There's one song out right now and it seems like" oh s**t she came out with a viral video and she got signed off of one song," there's a whole bunch of songs that I've been working on and they all sound different, they're all influenced by different genres. It's still going to have the same rap/hip-hop type of thing, but when it comes down to it I'm making music for everybody not just people who listen to rap.
You definitely have music out there, talk about your mixtape Kittys x Choppas. What's your obsession with cats and what do you, kittys and choppas have in common?
I'm a huge cat person, I have two cats. I made Kittys x Choppas because I started a huge cat thing, because I got bit in the face by a dog a year ago. It was my second time getting bit in the face by dogs, so I was kinda like yo f**k dogs. Out in Oakland, there's guns everywhere, you can get a gun in any f****n size, any f****n shape, any kinda rounds you want. So Kittys x Choppas was something that went together to me.
I came across a Ustream video of you doing a freestyle and you actually dissed Wiz Khalifa. What's the reason behind that?
That's just me goofing off. You can't expect for me to be completely serious, because I am just a funny person. I'm going to say whatever I wanna say. I used to half blonde/half black hair so when he did his little blonde streak I always was like Wiz Khalifa bit my swag. It was just for fun, it wasn't like serious. I ain't got nothing against that man.
Cali has really been coming back in the last few years, artists like Dom Kennedy, Casey Veggies, Odd Future, Lil B. What Cali artist are you looking forward to seeing blow up
I wanna see my partna DB Tha General do something. He's from Oakland, he's the hardest out. I've always been listening to him. I directed a bunch of videos for him when I first started doing music videos. That's one person from the Bay and Cali that I'd love to see spread around the world.
What's next? Is your next project called "Left Eye"?
Yeah, I'm thinking of doing a video for that next, but we're not sure. We're still trying to see what song would be the best to follow up "Gucci Gucci." It's a couple songs that we think are coming up next.
What's the reason for the title being "Left Eye"?
The song's basically about how you feel when you caught your man cheating. The hook goes, "Caught my man cheating now I'm going to the Westside, bout to burn his f****n house down like I'm Left Eye." It's a funny song about being your angry at your man and s**t.
Any last thoughts?
I want everyone to expect more and don't think that this is just a one time thing. I understand people are gonna try and put me in a box and s**t like that. Let me in. You got no choice at this point.

Code Comparison Summary
CABO One and Two Family Dwelling Code and Model Energy Code – 1995
editions and the federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign School of Architecture-Building
Research Council
Principal Authors:
- Jeffrey Gordon
- William B. Rose
Graduate Research Assistants:
- Ellen Colfax
- Amy J. Isenburg
- Troy Pavelka
- Anthony Vivirito
- Vince Webber
December, 1997
This summary is based on a comprehensive comparison of the 1995
CABO One and Two Family Dwelling Code, the 1995 Model Energy Code,
and the federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards
(MCHSS). There are many similarities in these codes, along with
minor differences of slight consequence, and some differences of
notable consequence. On balance, the codes are comparable. The
following tables are intended to summarize the notable differences
between the codes that were identified in the comprehensive comparison.
The bold text indicates the code with the more
restrictive requirement. For the purposes of this report, a "more
restrictive" requirement is one that is more limiting of design
discretion; it does not imply a value judgment.
Subpart A of MHCSS, and Chapter 1 of CABO, cover the administration
of the respective building codes. Because the codes relate to distinctly
different modes of construction (factory-built vs. site-built),
there is little basis for comparison in this subpart. The nature
of the CABO code requires additional provisions relating to submission
of plans, permits and posting, authority to enter, site inspections,
and liability for code officials. Both codes provide provisions
- Incorporation
of referenced standards.
- Use
of alternate construction.
- Waivers.
- Civil
and criminal penalties for code violation.
Planning Considerations Including Portions of Fire
The following table is intended to summarize the notable differences
Light and Ventilation
|Does not allow kitchens to have artificial light in
place of windows.
|Allows kitchens to have artificial light in place of windows.
|Requires half of required glazing to be operable, except when
a mechanical ventilation system capable of supplying 15 CFM is
|Requires half of required glazing to be operable regardless
of mechanical ventilation requirement.
|Mechanical ventilation may be omitted in bathrooms with 1.5
sf of operable glazing.
|Requires all full bathrooms and separate toilet compartments
to have mechanical ventilation.
|Does not require kitchen ventilation to vent to the outdoors.
Allows unvented range hoods.
|Requires kitchen ventilation capable of providing 100
CFM to the outdoors. Exhaust fan must be located within 10′
of range or cook top.
Room Sizes and Ceiling Heights
|Room sizes and heights:
|Room sizes and heights:
|Requires safety glass on glazed panels within 24″ of
the arc of a door in the closed position.
|Requires safety glass on glazed panels within 12″ of a door.
|Requires safety glass in any panel greater than 9 sf,
whose bottom edge is less than 18″ from the floor, and is within
36″ of a walking surface.
|MHCSS does not address.
|Exempts a mirror mounted or hung on a door.
|Requires safety glass in unbacked mirrored wardrobe
|Does not require shutters or other protective coverings for
windows or doors in high wind zones.
|Requires walls, window and door surroundings be designed
for placement of shutters or other protective coverings in
high wind zones.
Exits, Doorways and Egress
|Requires no less than one conforming exit, with no requirements
on the location of the exit.
|Requires no less than two exterior exits, and limits
the distance from any bedroom to the nearest exit to 35′.
|Conforming exit doors no less than 3′ wide and 6′-8″ tall.
Hallways no less than 3′ wide.
|Conforming exit doors no less than 2′-4″ wide and 6′-2″ tall.
Hallways no less than 2′-4″ wide.
|CABO does not address.
|Egress doors not to be located in a room with a lockable
interior door. Includes several other provisions relating to
required hardware for interior and exterior doors.
|On windows designed for emergency egress, sill height no more
than 44″ high. CABO does not limit height of operating hardware,
or require operating instructions posted on the window.
|On windows designed for emergency egress, sill height
must be no more than 36″ high, with operating hardware not
more than 54″ high. Operating instructions must be permanently
posted on the window. Each bedroom must have an egress window
or an exterior door.
Smoke Detectors
|Requires 1 smoke detector in each bedroom.
|Requires 1 smoke detector in each bedroom area.
|Requires smoke detectors to be interconnected, and
to have a battery backup.
|MHCSS does not address.
Fire Resistance
|Limits the use of foam plastic sheathing to 1/2″ thick, and
requires no less than 2″ mineral wool insulation and 1/2″ gypsum
wallboard covering.
|Limits the use of foam plastic sheathing to 3/8″ thick, and
requires no less than 2″ mineral wool insulation and 5/16″ gypsum
wallboard covering.
|Limits the use of foam plastic interior trim.
|Does not limit the use of foam plastic interior trim.
|Limits smoke density of interior finishes to 450.
|Does not address smoke density of interior finishes.
|Limits flame spread classifications of walls and ceilings to 200. Does
not address other configurations.
|Limits flame spread classifications of walls to 200 and ceilings
to 75. Provides additional flame spread ratings for specific components
of kitchen and bathrooms.
|CABO does not address.
|Requires "limited combustible materials" adjacent to cooking
ranges (maximum flame spread rating of 50), and doors and enclosures
around furnaces and water heaters (maximum flame spread rating of 25).
|Requires flame spread rating of 75 or less and smoke-developed rating
of 450 or less for foam plastic thermal insulating materials. Requires
additional spread ratings and smoke density factors for types of insulation
materials other than foam plastic.
|Requires flame spread rating of 75 or less and smoke-developed rating
of 450 or less for foam plastic thermal insulating materials.
|The following list highlights some of the areas where
the codes are comparable or slightly different: Lighting requirements
for habitable rooms; Space requirements for toilet compartments; Safety
glazing in exterior door, showers and bath enclosures; and Smoke detector
labeling requirements.
Body and Frame Construction Requirements
The following table is intended to summarize the notable differences
Structural Loads
|Design live load for sleeping rooms is 30 psf.
|Design live load for entire unit is 40 psf.
|No concentrated load requirement.
|Floors shall be able to support a one-inch diameter
200 pound concentrated load.
|No additional wind resistance requirements for eaves and cornices.
|Eaves and cornices are designed to withstand wind loads.
For any hurricane-prone location, MHCSS assigns a higher design
wind speed than CABO.
|The following list highlights some of the areas
where the codes are comparable or slightly different: Structural
design – floor systems; Fastening floor framing; Structural
design – wall frame construction; Exterior coverings; Roof
assemblies; and Windstorm protection – anchoring.
Thermal Protection
The following table is intended to summarize the notable differences
|Complicated formulas for walls, roofs and floor system U-factor.
|Simple requirements by zones for overall U-factor. For
single-section sized unit built to MEC requirements, the Uo is
similar to the Uo for MHCSS, especially in Zone 1.
|Requires accounting for "thermal bridging" in metal framing. MEC
provides specific design tables and correction factors to be
used in calculations for metal frame construction.
|Metal framing is not specifically called out. MHCSS does require
adjustment of Uo for framing losses, including "thermal shorts,"
but does not provide specific adjustments. References 1989 ASHRAE
Window Construction
|Uses ASTM E283 to determine window airtightness, requiring
0.5 cfm per lineal foot of crack.
|Uses ASTM E283 (referenced in AAMA 1701.2-85 18.104.22.168)
to determine window airtightness, requiring 0.5 cfm per square
foot of window area. MHCSS thus requires tighter windows than
CABO for normal sizes of windows. (ASTM 283-84 permits results
reported using either square footage of window area or lineal
feet of crack length).
|Requires treatment against air leakage at utility penetrations. Recessed
light fixtures must meet airtightness standards.
|No airtightness standards for recessed light fixtures; however,
other electrical, mechanical, and plumbing penetrations must
limit air infiltration.
Vapor Retarders
|Requirements for vapor retarders use wet bulb temperatures.
|Ceiling vapor retarders are required in thermal zones
2 and 3. Walls require vapor retarders, permeable sheathing

This week is a treat as I've never written about Rocky Mount North Carolina.
Often talked about in my family as my brother-in-law was once the head of the Chamber of Commerce.
My wife often speaks about the beauty of the older homes and its close proximity to the North Carolina state Capitol. Best Place to live in Piedmont North Carolina ~ Raleigh.
Still in all my research I never added Rocky Mount to my list of North Carolina best places to live.
And yet here we are.
Welcome back to the Carolina Report! And welcome to Rocky Mount North Carolina.
Rocky Mount is a smaller city in the North Carolina coastal plain and home to about 57,477 people.
The city itself is known for being an arts community. Rocky Mount North Carolina is home to the Maria V Howard Arts Center and a community theater.
Aside from this, the downtown Rocky Mount area is also one of the more historically important cities in this part of North Carolina. There are plenty of reasons to love this city. You may want to move here simply to take advantage of the beauty this area has to offer, but there are more reasons than just this.
The cities name comes from the rocky mound at the falls of the Tar River. And did you know Rocky Mount was home to one of the first cotton mills in North Carolina? It has ample educational, cultural and entertainment options if you decide this is your best place to live.
As I explore and research Rocky Mount of course I am reminded of how well it ranked in the Forbes Annual Best Places For Business and Careers report for 2013.
Rocky Mount ranked #157 overall in best small places for business and careers. This may seem like a pretty high rank however remember that is 157 out of 200.
Coastal North Carolina Best Places To Live GuideExplore Coastal North Carolina Best Places To Live
As a business owner, you'll find that moving into the Rocky Mount area is ideal and welcoming. While the overall ranking for Rocky Mount is #157, one of the areas in which the city did very well is in cost of doing business. Amazingly Rocky Mount North Carolina ranked #9.
With a metro population of over 151,700, Rocky Mount is a prime location for businesses needing a large customer base. The major industries present in the city and metro area include health care and financial services.
The cost of living is 13.7 percent below the national average, which has a direct correlation to the affordability present.
Overall, this affordability helps to drive businesses to Rocky Mount. And we all know established and new businesses boost the economy, and provide for individual's needs. Which all contributes to quality of life.
Keep in mind the median household income here was $38,254 in 2012. I know some of us are shrieking at that figure. Especially if you are from the Northeast. But remember the cost of living in the Carolinas? All things are relative.
You might find it easier to start a business in Rocky Mount North Carolina than you do to find a job. The city didn't rank as well when it comes to job growth. Of the 200 cities ranked it came in at #177 in this category. That's not surprising, though. The unemployment rate here is 12.7 percent. Job growth in 2012 was -0.9%, a big factor in the overall employment arena here.
It's also helpful to note when you are considering any area in North Carolina or South Carolina for your best place to live the net migration. How many people moved in or out of the area? In 2012 the net migration in Rocky Mount North Carolina was -230. Doesn't appear a lot of people are flocking to Rocky Mount NC but that may not be a bad thing. Given the movement to relocate or retire to the Carolinas, you may find you can get great deals on housing in the area.
As we've talked about before there are some of the belief that a better educated population is one of the building blocks of economic development. Rocky Mount ranked #158 in the education sector.
The city is home to North Carolina Wesleyan College, a four year school. There are also two community colleges here, including Edgecombe Community College and Nash Community College.
Overall, the fact that Rocky Mount North Carolina ranked is impressive.
As a large community, especially within the metro region, it has a low cost of doing business, which is sure to continue to bring new businesses to the area.
Overall, this is a small city and one that is an attractive place to call home, not just for individuals but also for businesses. So what do you think? Should Rocky Mount North Carolina be on our list of Best Places To Live in North Carolina?
I'd love to hear your thoughts and share them with everyone. Write me firstname.lastname@example.com
I'll see you next week as we continue the count down of the best places for business and careers in North Carolina and South Carolina in 2013.
Until then….have an awesome week.

Kathryn Bernardo dons the most adorable coordinates! The young actress wears a dainty polka dot halter top fastened with wide ties at the back paired with matching high-waisted shorts trimmed with eyelet embroidery. The pale blue set complements Kathryn's morena skin tone and at the same time subdues the print that could have otherwise made the ensemble too loud and distracting. Additionally, Kath accessorizes with silver hoops and slips on metallic heels that take the ensemble up a notch, making it look more grown-up.
And to make the most of her backless halter top, Kath wears her hair in a low bun, parted at the center. She keeps the look simple with a neutral palette for her makeup.

Employers in all areas of Canada, especially rural and remote areas, are finding it difficult to recruit dietitians. There are just not enough dietitians trained in Canada to meet the demand. It is also important to make sure that the dietitians that are employed in Canada's health system are satisfied with their work environment. This includes fair pay, good benefits and opportunities for career growth and development.
It is essential to train enough dietitians to meet the health needs of Canadians. This requires the establishment of education and training programs that are accessible to more students.
Ensuring we have enough dietitians to meet the needs of Canadians requires a study of our workforce and planning for the future. Dietitians of Canada is working with partners, including dietetic educators and regulators, to study the dietetic workforce provincially and nationally. The results of these studies have been used to provide proof to provincial decision makers that more education and training programs are needed.
Some provinces have also studied workplace satisfaction of dietitians and concluded that fair pay, better working conditions and more support for career growth and advancement would help dietitians stay working in the profession longer.
(August 2016) DC's recommendations to the federal government for Budget 2017 address issues including access to dietitians through home care and community-based care, telehealth and the federal government employee health care plan; food insecurity; excise tax on SSB; national workforce data base; and nutrient database of Canadian foods.
(May 2016) The 2015 Dietitians of Canada survey in British Columbia revealed that the BC dietetic workforce is at capacity, making it difficult to maintain existing services and leaving no opportunity to meet the increased demand for nutrition services related to government priorities and population growth. At the same time, unregulated nutrition practitioners are increasingly entering the nutrition practice landscape in BC, raising concerns regarding quality of care and risk to patients and clients. An Executive Summary is also available.
(January 2016) – In 2015, DC undertook a national collection of data elements that could form the basis for a more comprehensive examination of dietetic workforce needs. Provincial dietetic regulators were invited to participate by contributing provincial data for inclusion in a simplified workforce model.
(2015) – Ontario dietitians working in PHC settings including Family Health Teams, Community Health Centres, and Nurse Practitioner-led Clinics, were surveyed to track changes in the PHC dietitian workforce and roles, and job satisfaction. The 2015 survey measured changes in job satisfaction from 2012 results, and captured additional information on the leadership roles of dietitians in PHC.
(December 2014) – How could the federal government take a leadership role in improving the health and health care of Canadians? HEAL, a coalition of 39 national health organizations, including Dietitians of Canada, speaks out.
(November 2014) – This DC report to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health (HESA) addresses gaps and barriers (including Aboriginal students).
(May 2012) This brief was submitted to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities (HUMA) as a backgrounder to our witness presentation on May 7, 2012. It outlines a pending dietitian shortage due to retirements in the next decade; discusses the need for more practicum placements, opportunities for Aboriginal placements, and internationally-educated dietitian bridging programs; and makes recommendations for better dietitian workforce surveillance data.
(November 2011) The Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology was accepting submissions in preparation for the Health Accord 2014. Dietitians of Canada called for action in three areas: increased investment in health promotion and non-communicable disease prevention including access to healthy food, coordinated interprofessional health services, and sufficient labour supply and access to dietitians.
(July 2011)- Training opportunities in the Territories that provide learning experiences focused on the health and nutrition needs of northern and Aboriginal people in rural and remote community settings are limited to the Yukon First Nations Dietetic Internship Program. This report examines the opportunities to increase the number of trained dietitians who are familiar with working in northern and Aboriginal communities by assessing the feasibility of increasing dietetic internship opportunities in Canada's North.
(August 2011)- A Task Force has completed their recommendations for a new dietetic education and practical training model for Ontario which better meets the demands and evolving needs of the province's healthcare system, while ensuring all qualified students can complete the required practicum education requirements. The Ministry has not endorsed nor responded to the report as yet.
(March 2011)– a meta-analysis report of the dietitian workforce in Canada was developed, based on the surveys conducted by provinces from 2007 to 2011. The report provides a "snapshot" of the dietetic workforce and identifies workforce issues affecting the profession.
(November 2010) - HEAL, a coalition of 38 organizations including Dietitians of Canada, outlined our response to the Standing Committee's report Promoting Innovative Solutions to Health Human Resource Challenges.
(2009) – the results of a study conducted by Dietitians of Canada and the College of Dietitians of Ontario on the demographics and employment issues of the dietitian workforce in Ontario in order provide data for health human resource planning into the future.
(2008) – a summary of the results of the Dietetic Workforce Analysis Survey of members of Dietitians of Canada in Alberta; results present a view of the dietitian workforce in Alberta during the spring of 2008.
(2008) – a summary of the findings of an electronic survey distributed by the College of Dietitians in BC providing a snapshot of the dietitian workforce in BC.
(2007) – a summary of the findings of a survey conducted by Dietitians of Canada in cooperation with the College of Dietitians of Manitoba providing a snapshot of the dietitian workforce in Manitoba in 2007.
(2006) – a summary of the findings of an electronic survey of dietitians and employers in Northern Ontario.
(2007) – a summary of the findings of a survey of Saskatchewan dietitians conducted by Dietitians of Canada in cooperation with the Saskatchewan Dietitian Association in 2007
(2009) – a summary of the findings of a survey of Dietitians of Canada members in Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut in 2008.
(2007) - a summary of the results of the Dietetic Workforce Analysis Survey; results present a view of the dietitian workforce
(2007) – a summary of the findings for Newfoundland and Labrador, based on data from an electronic survey of dietitians in the Atlantic provinces.

As with many areas on the Algarve coast, Lagos has menus featuring delicious traditional fish and seafood dishes. You'll also find European, Mediterranean and international cuisine, so you're likely to find something fresh and tasty to suit most moods. Have a look below at our top 10 recommendations for places to visit on your Algarve holiday.
Located in the centre of town this restaurant focuses on traditional Portuguese cuisine. The service is friendly and the food is well-presented and generously portioned. If you order the fish of the day your fish will be presented at your table for your approval before being cooked.
This is a real foodie's restaurant, with an interesting international menu. Expect imaginative dishes and inventive taste combinations. There is a terrace for outside dining and a smart indoor dining room furnished in a neo-classical style.
With an almost rustic, simple appeal the Cantinho Algarvio offers traditional Portuguese menu choices along with daily chef's suggestions. Dine here for perfectly grilled fish and savoury rice dishes.
This is a small restaurant, simply decorated and located in an almost hidden location – but it's worth seeking out. Aquario offers tasty, beautifully-presented traditional Algarve dishes, which are carefully cooked using high quality ingredients.
Worth going to for the superb sea views alone, head to Canico for local specialities including delicately-spiced rice dishes. The fresh fish and seafood is priced by weight so you can order as large or small a portion as you like. The simply-styled dining room is also interesting, as it's carved into solid rock walls.
Head to Beats and Burritos for a rustic feel and relaxed, bohemian vibe. You'll find vegan wraps and burritos, as well as tasty beef and chicken options. You can also choose your own fillings for your starter to create your favourite flavour combinations. They do take out as well, so you could grab a fruit smoothie and wrap on your way to the beach.
Located close to the beachfront in the old town, Vivendo is extremely popular for its fresh and tasty food and selection of good wines. It has Mediterranean, European and Portuguese menus, which include juicy steaks and unusual specialities such as guinea fowl.
Holidays to Portugal aren't all tapas and fresh fish. This is the place to go for American and British style breakfasts, brunches and lunches. Think golden hash browns, crisp french fries, oozing cheesy toasties and huge fluffy pancakes drizzled with maple syrup. You can go there after a late night, or pop over with the family and kids during the day.
If you like fresh fish and seafood Portuguese-style then this is the place for you. Serving local specialities such as octopus salad and clams, this family-run restaurant goes the extra mile to give you a friendly and attentive personal service. Relax and enjoy the informal atmosphere at Calhou.
Open only for lunch, this spot is a firm favourite with locals. Offering Mediterranean and Portuguese dishes it has a barbecue to grill meats and fish to tangy perfection. With long tables and benches it's ideal for families and friends to enjoy a relaxed meal together. The desserts are also very good. Try their almond cake with a cup of bica cheia, which is an espresso with extra water.
