Lyrics Born at Bumbershoot 2007
photo by Christopher Nelson
Every Monday through Friday, we deliver a different song as part our Song of the Day podcast subscription. This podcast features exclusive KEXP in-studio performances, unreleased songs, and recordings from independent artists that our DJs think you should hear. Today's featured selection, chosen by Midday Show host Cheryl Waters, is
I Like It, I Love It by Lyrics Born from the forthcoming album Everywhere At Once on Anti-.
Since forming the groundbreaking Solesides label in the mid-90s alongside DJ Shadow, Gift of Gab, and other prominent Bay Area artists, Tom Shimura, aka Lyrics Born, has had unmitigated success as a solo artist. Since Later That Day dropped in '03, LB has been involved with clever licensing deals that have put him on your television, on your gaming system, and of course, heavy on your FM dial. For the upcoming release, LB builds on the success of his '06 live album by bringing his touring band into the studio and relying less on drum machines and other programmed sounds. One constant from his previous records is that LB continues his reign as king of mashing funk and hip-hop, exploding the limits of the spectrum with his vocal range and prowess. Everywhere at Once is yet another step forward for one of the greatest independent hip-hop artists of all time. Snag the album when it appears in stores 4/22 in preparation of the show at Neumo's 4/27. Before then, catch up on the making of the new album on LB's video blog and spend a little time shoe shopping with the artist in this video:

The word "Royce" reminds me of the branded car maker – RollsRoyce. Hence when I first noticed a shop (quite some time back) in the basement of Raffles City selling chocolates under the brand name Royce, my mind automatically linked the chocolate to some expensive chocolate maker in the United Kingdom. I must have walked pass the shop on numerous occasions but never once did I consider buying the chocolates.
Hence when a friend passed me a (food) souvenir from her trip in Japan, I was like "Oh…I didn't know Royce chocolate originates from Japan…".
And that was only the first discovery on my part. I quickly inspected the packaging and wondered out loud "Interesting…potato chips coated with chocolate. Thanks!"
Only to have my friend poked her head over before exclaiming "Oh…I didn't know it's potato chips I bought!"
Interesting people huh? J
Anyway, this sweet and salty combination tasted ok. It would be better if they were to either cut down on the chocolate coating or to use dark chocolate instead. However, for the Little One, it's the perfect 2-in-1 snack. Even with his mouth full of chips, he was still demanding for more "mum mum" with his outstretched, milk chocolate smeared hands.

Today's December crop report from the Agriculture Department shows continued tight supplies of corn, cotton and soybeans that will drive planting decisions for 2011, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF).
"Grain stocks weren't reduced as much as we had expected, with USDA only making minor adjustments to the corn, wheat and soybean balance sheets," reports AFBF economist John Anderson. "USDA did, however, lower its cotton stocks forecast to 1.9 million bales, compared to 2.2 million bales in last month's report."
The USDA report indicates supplies of the three crops will be tight going into next year. That points to strong demand, higher prices and an increase in corn, cotton and soybean plantings in 2011, according to the AFBF economist.
USDA's minimal change to the corn stocks forecast was a surprise part of the report, Anderson says.
"For the past few weeks, corn demand has been very strong, driven mostly by record-high ethanol production," he says. "Ethanol production has continued to trend upward in recent weeks, and we would have expected USDA to show a small drop in the corn carryover level, or at least some adjustments within the various corn-use categories, but they didn't. They basically stayed put with the demand side of the corn balance sheet."
The December report boosted corn carryover stocks to 832 million bushels from 827 million bushels, and the change was driven by an increase of imports by 5 million to 15 million bushels.
"USDA may be expecting demand for ethanol to slow down, but higher oil prices and a generally weak dollar may continue to support strong ethanol production," Anderson says.
Thus, the corn supply remains very low at a 6% stocks-to-use ratio which should keep prices fairly strong overall.
For soybeans, USDA showed a sizable drop in stocks from 185 million bushels estimated in the November report to 165 million bushels in the December report.
"The tight supply situation in soybeans may encourage farmers to plant more beans next year, but with corn and cotton stocks also very low, competition for acreage will be intense," Anderson says.

For a start, having underground tunnels negate (or at least reduce) the damage from air-strikes. They also allow movement of forces under cover, which increases the element of surprise when fighting enemy forces. Definitely worth doing a feature article...watch this space.

Never leave a leather bag damp for an extended length of time. The corner of this Yves Saint Laurent handbag was left damp and both mildew and staining resulted. Both the staining and mildew could have been prevented if the owner would have removed the crome bar and let the corner dry.
In restoring this bag not only did it require refinishing to remove the stain but, it was necessary to arrest the mildew. Typical cleaning will not remove all the midew spores and if done improperly the mildew will return. It was necessary to use an anti-fungal treatment to assure the mildew won't return. Now the bag is good as new.

Monitoring dispersal of genetically engineered organisms and their byproducts using LTS
- Funded By: USDA
- ECI Investigators: Jeff Feder, David Lodge, Jennifer Tank, Carol Tanner, Steve Ruggiero & Don Howard
- Partners: Advanced Diagnostics & Therapeutics, Cary Institute for Ecosystem Studies, RIce University
Researchers are developing a new technology for tracking the movement of genetically engineered (GE) organisms and their byproducts in the environment. Since the expansion of genetic engineering in the 1970s, there has been strong disagreement about the consequences of GE organisms and material entering the environment. To help address the lack of understanding in these areas, the team tackles two of the most pressing needs in GE detection: the detection and monitoring of the potential dispersal of GE fish and the byproducts of GE maize.
A multidisciplinary team, which includes evolutionary biologists, ecologists, physicists, and biogeochemists, adapts current light transmission spectroscopy (LTS) technologies developed at Notre Dame. The technologies have the ability to identify and accurately measure in real-time the size, shape and number of nanoparticles suspended in fluid at higher sensitivity and with greater size resolution than competing technologies. To detect genetically engineered fish dispersal, researchers combine LTS with another developing technology, environmental DNA (eDNA), which measures the genetic fingerprint of species in the aquatic environment. Methods that target eDNA can be used as an important surveillance tool that recognizes a unique advantage of aquatic environmental sampling. LTS works by measuring shifts in the size of small, activated beads of a known size that are functionalized with species-specific genetic tag. Beads in solution increase in size when DNA from the target organism binds to the tags, and this diameter growth is detected by LTS. The beads can also be activated with antibodies, to detect other potential environmental contaminants.
The LTS technology exhibits the potential to be a field-ready device that can generate rapid and highly accurate detection results, even when a target is at low densities. Research impacts extend to many different audiences, including farmers, natural resource managers, persons interested in biotechnology, as well as government officials involved with GMOs.

The best new eco car launches in the best eco-hotel in the world
SEAT PRODUCT LAUNCH at Hotel Rafayel - 7TH - 10TH JUNE
SEAT Ecomotive launch 2010
UK Media Driving Exercise
Operations document
The SEAT Ecomotive press driving exercise and presentation for selected UK media took place at Rafayel on the Left Bank from Monday 19 to Thursday 22 June inclusive.
This exercise was to mark the UK launch of the Leon Ecomotive, Altea Ecomotive and Altea XL Ecomotive.
Rafayel on the Left Bank
34 Lombard Rd
Model shown is the Ibiza SC 1.4 TDI 80PS Ecomotive. Priced at £12,790. *The £1,250 saving is off the recommended retail price of the Ibiza 1.4 TDI 80PS Ecomotive and is available between the 1 April and 30 June 2010. Retail sales only. Subject to availability. Offer may be withdrawn at anytime. **The total running cost savings over 3 years are derived from the Ibiza Ecomotive having a VED Band weighting of band A (up to 100g/km CO2) therefore the owner pays no road tax, a saving of £330 is based on the average CO2 emissions for the Ibiza range of 133.93g/km meaning the owner must pay road tax based on VED Band E of £110 per year over 3 years. A fuel saving of £496.42 per year is arrived at based on an average of 15,000 miles per annum using the average combined fuel economy for the Ibiza range (52.02mpg) compared to the combined fuel economy of the Ibiza Ecomotive (76.3mpg) and a fuel cost of £1.19 per litre. The total fuel saving is then taken over 3 years which is the average period a vehicle is retained giving a saving of £1,489.26. Total running cost savings over 3 years are therefore £1,819.26. Fuel prices and VED band rate correct at time of going to press.
Official fuel consumption for the SEAT Ibiza SC 1.4 TDI 80PS Ecomotive in mpg (litres per 100km); urban 57.6 (4.9); extra-urban 94.2 (3.0); combined 76.3 (3.7). CO2 emissions 98g/km.

The Trump administration announced Tuesday it planned to end what it suggested was an illegal Obama-era rule allowing unions to collect dues from state subsidies intended for home health workers -- including family caregivers.
Federal law generally prohibits states from skimming money from Medicaid payments bound for independent in-home personal care workers. But in 2014, the Obama administration created an exception, saying that states could divert some of that Medicaid money to unions, on the theory that these workers effectively were public-sector employees.
Eleven left-leaning states have used that provision to raise more than $200 million a year for unions by taking it from health workers who often didn't even realize it, according to top GOP officials.
Those states include California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Illinois -- a blue state which has been at the center of recent Supreme Court rulings stripping power from organized labor.
But GOP leaders said the Obama administrative exception violates the federal Social Security Act, as well as the rights of home health workers.
The Trump administration's decision means that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has begun the formal process of proposing a new rule to roll back the Obama regulation.
The law provides that Medicaid providers must be paid directly and cannot have part of their payments diverted to third parties outside of a few very specific exceptions, Tim Hill, acting director of the Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services, said in a statement. This proposed rule is intended to ensure that providers receive their complete payment, and any circumstances in which a state does divert part of a providers payment must be clearly allowed under the law.

Brief History of Benevola
|Back to Home Page
Benevola is a peaceful and beautiful community hidden away on the
Sipsey River in Pickens County's southern section. It never became a
big city or a bustling town, but it became a community in the true
sense of the word. It was a farming community, mainly cotton, until
recently. The name Benevola derives from the Latin word benevolent
meaning well wishing. This word can be found in French, Spanish and
Italian. A village in Italy is also named Benevola. The name suggest
the first white settlers were kind, charitable and well wishing
people. It is not known how the Sipsey River got it's name, but it
is believed to be either from the cyprus trees found there or from
the daughter of Chief Tuscaloosa. Both had similar names.

Dear krys,
I clearly haven't updated this blog in a really long time. 2012 is just around the corner and my last update was 2 years ago... It's also been 2 years since I transferred Faculties at OCADU from Design: Illustration to Art: Drawing and Painting. I'm in my 5th year at OCADU and I seriously need to start putting shit together before I graduate in the Spring.
Anyways, I hope to begin posting progress on my Concept Art / 3D modelling portfolio, as well as things I have worked on at school or will be working on at school. I feel like updating my blog will motivate me to keep posting. Although I tend to post such things and end up neglecting it for long periods... I will really try to set deadlines for myself this time and put stuff up at least weekly if not every few days.

I was thinking about my schedule for the week while driving home last night, and I thought organization and scheduling would be a great topic to open up for discussion on this blog. I used to make schedules for myself only for schoolwork, which left the rest of my week "free" (which meant I napped or hung out with friends). There's nothing wrong with that kind of schedule but I need a bit of structure and a little push to accomplish all that I can in one day; otherwise, it's too easy for me to fall into "Oh, I can do this tomorrow." Inevitably, "tomorrow" changes into next week or next month. I can put things off and I can convince myself that it's okay, but there is something valuable in being beholden to myself. If I treated myself with the same respect with which I treat my boss or someone who pays me to complete a task, I would get a lot more accomplished!
In order to realize what is important and what I want to accomplish in one day or one week, it is imperative to be organized. I always thought of myself as an organized person: I tend to be a bit obsessive about the way my pens and post-it notes are arranged on my desk and I have always lived and died by my planner. Obviously, that does not necessarily make me an organized person and I realized this fully when I started my job. An amazing amount of organizational skills and the ability to multi-task are required to do well in my position, and I am adapting each day. Recently, though, I have come to realize that maybe I haven't been organized enough and also way too organized, both in equal measure. Let me explain. Since I graduated with my Masters, I've tried to keep a routine in my life and this was important especially when I was a jobseeker and picking up small, freelance jobs here and there. I had to get used to the fact that I was no longer a student and, in my mind, no longer allowed to lounge around at home with no direction as though I was on a break from classes. I had my future professional life on the line and a schedule had to be made to ensure that I spent a good part of my day networking and searching for job opportunities. The way that I used to organize myself, only by writing down when I had to go to work or when I had class, didn't work for me anymore. I couldn't stick to that specific, blocked-out time frame because I no longer had specific blocks of time set aside for work or job-searching. I had to become more organized in a different way. I had to realize that what I want to accomplish in a day doesn't amount to just work; it includes time with family and friends, and time for myself, too.
In my mind, staying organized doesn't just mean making a To-Do list and crossing off each task as it's completed (though I think there's value in that, too). It's also about making more time for things that mean the most to you. I want to be healthy and productive, so waking up for work on time and eating breakfast as well as walking or going to the gym are major priorities for me. I want to do what I love, so I make time for writing this blog and doing other projects, as well as some down-time, like reading and listening to music. I want to keep in touch with family members and close friends, so I make sure to email or call my grandmother often, hang out with my cousin, and talk to close friends almost every day. Despite the fact that I have to make time for some of these activities in my busy life, I do not consider them to be chores; in fact, I find that looking at my plan for the week just reminds me that I will have time to do what I already love to do.
I think without this "organized schedule," I could possibly just fall into a rut where I retreat within myself and go through the motions of my day. I think the difference between my new organized self and my old organized self is purpose. I want to engage with myself and with others, and in order to do that I have to seriously think about what I want to accomplish on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.

Kanye West is no stranger to sharing his views and opinions and in Frank Ocean's latest zine entitled Boys Don't Cry, the artist shares a fast food rap about McDonald's meals. Dami Lee of The Verge brings to life the lyrics by adding meme style drawings that encompass the words in a satirical and hyperbolic way. The illustrations bring an added element of humor to the lines showcasing cartoon drawings of West and the food items showcased as comical characters.
The poem shares the tale of the "McDonald's Man" and the various dishes the fast food eatery serves and how they are in cahoots to start a band. Lee's drawings showcase such foods as burgers, boxes of fries, salads and milkshakes as characters with lyrics from the poem printed alongside.

To Richard, the only one on earth who understood me.
Please let me heal your broken heart like you healed mine when you adopted me.
You adopted me when no one else wanted me. They said I was unpredictable and unadoptable because I bit people. I was too much of a liability to be adopted out.
Yes, I know they said I was mean, vicious and couldn't be trusted but you, Richard, saw it wasn't anger driving me to bite. It was fear. Read more »
The tone in the house is so different now. It's hard to believe how one 8 pound miniature pinscher could have such an effect on a house but since he passed away in the morning of December 9, it's so much quieter now. Sure, the other four dogs make plenty of noise when they hear something outside but since Max died in my arms, it's not the same around here.
There's no one to charge the baby gate that separates the living room (our one "dog-free" room) from the kitchen when I walk through it. How proud he was when he managed to rush by the closing gate and enter the forbidden room. Read more »

On the night, Dr Abbie will cover:
A brief explanation and discussion on Chinese dietetics
Chinese skin care rituals
Chinese anti-aging tools
Facial reading diagnosis - how TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) facial diagnosis can explain internal health and emotional mindset, from displays/lines and colouring in the face
How to address internal health stressors by what you see on your face.
While you learn from Dr Abbie, you'll be treated to a beautiful dinner by Kristen at Street Organics, including an entree, main, shared raw dessert platter and Kombucha mocktails.

To express the best version of yourself includes the specialised facial rejuvenation (Cosmetic Acupuncture), which holistically reverses the aging clock whilst maintaining the dignity of the wisdom one has obtained in their life.
Abbie has trained extensively over seas, completing her internship in China, following referred Doctors in France, learning cosmetic and facial reading diagnostics in Hong Kong, Japan and New Zealand and continues to be mentored by her fourth generation Chinese Medicine doctor (Lao Shi 'teacher') in Australia. This is not to say that she is not continually scouring the world and industry for holistic cosmetic insights.
Her techniques dig deeper into the physiological and psychological makeup of the body. Her clients are empowered with the tools and techniques to help themselves and are provided direction and support throughout treatments. Therapy should never be painful, but rather allow the body to adjust and realign itself gently with professional guidance.
Street Organics began in 2011 as a tiny Co-Op store in Melbourne Street, Murrumbeena (Australia). After seeing first-hand the powerful effects of organic food & a healthy lifestyle for her son Gryffin – born with Down syndrome, Kristen Morrison became a passionate advocate for toxin-free living and organic food – for healthier people and a healthier planet. Today Street Organics has a store in Melbourne & Auckland, New Zealand.
Fast forward seven years and with the massive and inspiring trend towards organic food worldwide, Street Organics has evolved into a Café & Wholefoods Store – one in Malvern, Victoria and another in Takapuna, Auckland, serving a range of organic snacks, meals and drinks to dine in or take away. Street Organics make from scratch and retail some of their most popular products like fresh almond milk, bone broth, cakes, treats, probiotic drinks and take-home meals for quick and easy healthy solutions.

It's been a lil bit since I've posted, and a weekend has come and gone. The big deal this weekend was that "Spider-Man 3" opened up, and it made ass-loads of cash. I haven't seen it yet, mainly because this weekend was also was Cinco De Mayo, so I was too busy drinking Tecate's and eating fried foods lathered in cheese, which made my Spidey-Sense tingle all the way to the Banjo!
Even though some friends of mine said it was "alright" I still plan on catching it next weekend, and hopefully at IMAX...But until then I did up a sketch of ol' Spidey, which was actually a lot of fun, as he lends himself to awesome animated poses..As much as Spidey has been in movies and media, my first and fondest memory of the "Wall Crawler" was when he appeared on "The Electric Company".

Why Are You So Creepy?
Day 25 of the writing day challenge is, "think of a word and search it – use the 11th image for inspiration." Well, I was visiting my mom and all of a sudden there was a spider. I hate spiders, they give me the heebie jeebies! So, spider was the word for my inspiration and that turned into a poem.
Why Are You So Creepy?
Beady eyes and eight legs crawling
Go on the other way I don't need the scare
No don't jump, that's even worse
Don't make me squeal or run away
I don't need your beady eyes or eight legs crawling
With little hairs and creepy walking
I'd rather you stay in your own space
Flailing arms and ninja moves
Means you need to move higher
Eat your bugs and stay away
And maybe we can be friends
But with beady eyes and eight legs crawling
I really think I'll stick with swatting
Have you ever picked a word and used the picture for inspiration? Let me know what you came up with!

Troup's Katelyn Standley Named MVP of TGCA Softball All-Star Game
Three East Texans competed in Friday's Texas Girls Coaches Association 1A-2A-3A softball all-star game, and one came home with Most Valuable Player honors.

Standley played catcher and shortstop in addition to her big day at the plate.
Rusk pitcher Sydney Littlejohn, who will play at Alabama next season, pitched for the Blue team, allowing no runs in three innings of work.
Elysian Fields infielder Kaylee Prather also played for the victorious Red squad.
Each team consisted of 13 graduating seniors from across the state in the 3A, 2A, and 1A classifications.

It is historically known from an area directly north of the town of Nombre de Díos encompassing the Río La Villa and the Arroyo Las Compuertas including some large springs like the Ojo de Agua Los Berros and the Ojo de Agua de San Juán. Furthermore it was known from a spring and its effluent in Amado Nervo, that drains into the Arroyo La Ciénega, an affluent of the Río La Villa in Nombre de Díos. It disappeared from Amado Nervo due to a heavy drought and from several other historically known places like the Ojo de Agua de San Juán, probably due to exotic fish species. It is actually known from the springs in Los Berros and a tiny spring on a private property in La Constancia. Two subpopulations, the Los Berros subpopulation (type subpopulation) and the Amado Nervo subpopulation are distinguished. The second one is regarded Extinct in the Wild. The underlined names are the ones officially used by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía; nevertheless, other ones might be more often in use or better known and therefore prefered.
ESU ist short for Evolutionarily Significant Unit. Each unit expresses an isolated population with different genetic characteristics within one species. ESU's can be defined by Molecular genetics, Morphology and/or Zoogeography and help in indicating different phylogenetic lineages within a species. The abbreviation for an ESU is composed of three letters of the genus, followed by the first two letters of the species name and an ongoing number in each species.
Within Characodon sp.2 we are able to distinguish twoESU's. The first one, Chrsp8 is in use for the fish of the more northen and bigger area of distribution, including populations of springs in San Juan, Los Berros, La Constancia and Nombre de Díos. Some of these populations are extinct, but at least the ones in Los Berros and La Constancia remained. The second ESU, Chrsp9 was found in a small spring and its outflow in Amado Nervo, a small town east of Nombre de Díos. It has to be treated as extinct in the wild.
Maximum Extent of Occurence of Characodon lateralis:
Status :
International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN): critically endangered
Conservation status and population trends of Mexican Goodeids (Lyons, 2011): critically endangered/declining – C. audax and C. lateralis are known from a series of semi-isolated springs and their outlets in Tunal/Durango River drainage in the upper Mezquital River basin. When first described (Smith and Miller 1986), C. audax was believed restricted to a single spring system near the town of El Toboso. The population here was morphologically distinctive from other Characodon populations. All other populations in the Tunal/Durango River drainage (~17 known historically) were considered C. lateralis. However, recent genetic analyses reveal little difference between the El Toboso population and many other Characodon populations (Omar Domínguez-Domínguez, personal communication). The genetic analyses suggest that populations from spring systems above the El Salto waterfall on the Tunal River (e.g., Los Pinos, Guadalupe Aguilera (Laguna Seca), Cerro Gordo, San Vincente de Chupaderos, Presa Peñon del Aguila, El Toboso, El Tobosito, Abraham González, 27 de Noviembre, Puente Piño Suarez) are similar enough to be considered the same species, in which case they could all be called C. audax. Populations from springs below the waterfall (e.g., Los Berros (Ojo de Agua de San Juan), La Constancia, Amado Nervo) are genetically distinct enough to be considered a separate species and could be called C. lateralis. However, morphological, coloration, and behavioral differences exist among populations that are similar genetically, and a detailed revision of the genus being conducted by Michael Tobler (Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA, personal communication) needs to be completed before the two species can be adequately defined and delineated.
Regardless of how they are defined, both C. audax and C. lateralis are on the verge of going extinct. As of the 1990's there were about 11 populations still extant, but as of 2011 only seven remained, and two of these (El Toboso – C audax; Amado Nervo – C. lateralis) had declined sharply and had almost disappeared (Michael Tobler and Juan Miguel Artigas-Azas, San Luis Potosí, Mexico, unpublished data). The other five populations (Guadalupe Aguilera, Abraham González, and 27 de Noviembre (C. audax?) and Los Berros and La Constancia (C. lateralis?) remained stable but were very small,
NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010: Categoría de riesgo (Category of risk): P - En Peligro de Extinción (in danger of extinction)
The habitats are similar to the ones, Characodon audax inhabits: Marshy pools, spring-fed ponds, springs and their outflows with abundant submergent vegetation (Myriophyllum, Ceratophyllum, Potamogeton and Scirpus). Concerning the substrates predominate silt, clay, mud, sand, soft marl, gravel and rocks. The currents are usually slight to none, occassionally moderate, the water is clear to turbid. The Rainbow Characodon prefers depths of less than 0.5m.
Young were captured from 0.8 to 11mm SL between 13 March and 2 September. This indicates a protracted reproductive season extending from at least early March through August. At least in one habitat (Ojo de agua de San Juan), the fish moved about in large aggregations in shallow water, retreating to deeper places when disturbed (Fitzsimmons 1972).
There are some facts about the dentition of this species, but an unclear situation concerning the diet. We find mostly bicuspid teeth (and tricuspid) in the outer series of adult Characodon lateralis (a few smaller ones are conical) and small conical in the inner series. This dentition suggests an omnivorous feeding habit. Young fish have only conical teeth. Concerning the gut, we find authors describing it as short ( suggesting a carnivorous tendency), others describing it as long (suggesting a vegetarian tendency). Günther mentioned 1866 the inestinal tract "but slightly convoluted" (suggests omnivorous feeding habits). These different statements and different observations of feeding preferences in captivity lead to a diversity of care sheets, but it seems like Characodon lateralis is prefering Daphnia or other small invertebrates. However, it has been seen feeding on green filamentous algae (Spirogyra, Ulothrix) in the wild, too (Fitzsimmons 1972), so probably this species is feeding omnivorous indeed, maybe with changing preferences in the growing, as the changement of the dentition suggests. Intestinal content has been made of filamentous chlorophytes, cyanophytes, pennate diatoms and oligochaets.
The maximum known SL is about 63mm (Miller et al, 2005).
Characodon lateralis is a very colourful species. The population from Los Berros is olive-brown in both sexes. Females show 2 to 7 prominent dark blotches in the midline, mostly not reaching the caudal peduncle. The lower part of the head until the origin of the anal fin is coloured creme or yellowish, the opercle has got a green glimmer, the belly is bluish. The fins are yellowish in adults with a black terminal band and clear in younger females. The males show red unpaired fins, changing the colour before the black terminal band into yellow. The body sides are coloured reddish, becoming deep red in older males. The scales are bluish-green. Older males appear more red than younger ones. The midline shows very few dusky and diffuse blotches and a broad and dusky lateral band. The area behind the opercle is more prominent dark. The belly from the snout to the origin of the anal fin is coloured mainly creme or yellowish, the opercle with a greenish glimmer. The population from Amado Nervo is coloured greenish-gray in both sexes, the red-finned males have a red caudal fin and the base of anal fin and dorsal fin coloured red, fadding to the end. The area above the anal fin is coloured red. A lateral band, formed by irregular blotches extends from the opercle to the caudal fin, becoming more prominent posteriorly and forming a black area on the caudal base. Clear-finned males and females appear totally greenish-gray without colourful markings. Both show 3 to 11 black blotches on the sides with the origin in the mid of the body and extending posteriorly. The opercle has got a greenish glimmer.
This fish disappeared from a large part of its original range by pollution of the Río Mezquital through the big company Celulosas de México. As far as we know, there are only two location centers left:
Characodon lateralis " Los Berros"
Characodon lateralis inhabits 3 springs in the vicinity of Los Berros: The springs El Ojo de agua de San Juan (23°57'102'' N lat. and 104°16'121" W long.), El Ojo de Agua Los Berros and the tiny spring La Constancia. Water is abundant and clear and pollution is unlikely in the San Juan-spring. The spring is 100 x 20m in diameter, full of aquatic vegetation and used for picnic places. La Constancia is not much bigger than a bathtub, located on a private area and definitely used as a bathing pool.
The aquarium strain of Characodon lateralis cannot be assigned to one locality and might be mixed up from different localities. Some strains show very red males whereas wild-caught males often display red only on the venter (at least the population of Ojo de Agua Los Berros).
Characodon lateralis "Amado Nervo"
This population lives only in a small creek, that is running among large trees, over a bed of sand and mud and crossing the town of Amado Nervo. The habitat is strongly polluted. There is no aquatic vegetation except green algae. This is a very interesting population. Not only because of its resemblance of Characodon garmani, but also because there can be found two different colour varieties in males. Few males with a red caudal fin and red colour on the base of anal and dorsal fin, and the majority coloured yellowish-gray without bright colour markings in the fins and resembling females in colour pattern. The social behaviour of this species is poorly understood. Certainly in nearly all red finned populations of Characodon audax, we can find different coloured males, encompassing individuals with red coloured fins as well as brown-grayish ones with yellow fins, or sometimes even brownish fins.
This population is in high danger of extinction in the wild. In 2011, the creek has been nearly completely overwhelmed by terrestrial vegetation and only one juvenile male could be collected. Probably, after last samples in 2012 revealed not a single fish, it is extinct in wild already.
Last presumptions deal with the possibility of this population being a distinct species. New studies on Characodon should reveal the relationship among the members of the whole genus and the position of this form.
Characodon lateralis "Nombre de Díos", former living in a spring W of the town of Nombre de Díos disappeared out of unknown reasons. It must be treated extinct like many other populations of Characodon lateralis.
Günther described this species from specimens at the British Museum in "Dr. B. Seeman's collection, who obtained them from Southern Central America" and himself, in 1869, he remarked on the inadequacy of the localities of Seeman's collection. J. M. Fitzsimons suspected in 1972, that this wrong given locality led finally to the "unnecessary" (he synonymized garmani and lateralis) description of Characodon garmani from Parras by Jordan & Evermann in 1898, and again by Meek in 1904 for specimens from Durango.
In December 2011, the Goodeid Working Group decided to create a project, called "Christmas for Characodon" to evaluate all known populations of Characodon, including both remaining species, and to concentrate efforts to save all existing populations and the remaining habitats.

Eighty-five expectant and nursing mothers posted to Ondo State for the mandatory one-year National Youth Service have been redeployed to their home states.
Ondo State National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) coordinator Mr. Isiaka Kuoye said at the weekend, that those redeployed had been paid their allowances. Welcoming NYSC Director-General Brig-Gen. Nnanidi Okore-Affia to the Orientation Camp in Ikare-Akoko, Ondo State, Kuoye said 2090 Corps members were posted to the state, adding that 1041 are men and women, 1049.
He said the Corps members had been of good conduct since their arrival, praising their active involvement in camp activities.
Gen. Okore-Affia urged the Corps members to respect the cultures of people in their places of primary assignment since the aim of the service is to unite the nation through service and humanity.
He said: "You must be law abiding and obey all rules. Always ensure that you do your best wherever you are posted to after the orientation programme in the camp. Respect their cultures, do not disrespect elders. Being a Corps member does not give you the authority to misbehave.
"Don't put on clothes that will be against the culture of the areas you are posted to or something that will make the people to be suspecting you. Don't believe that because you are a prayer warrior that you can attack the village shrine of the area you are posted to. Do not go there, don't attack their shrine. I can assure you that your allowance will be enough for you"

I ran six miles yesterday. This is the furthest I've ever ran in my life, and I did so confidentially, comfortably and proudly. Each time I pounded the pavement, I wondered how much further my legs and feet-and more importantly, my mind-would allow me to go. Six miles is a BREEZE for many seasoned runners. But six miles, yesterday, was a BIG deal to me.
You see, I was never athletic growing up. I literally tried every sport, hoping to find my "hidden talent," and spark a love for health and fitness. I played sports, even took dance, but did none well-and that's ok, because later in life, I decided photography was my "sport." Running was THE LAST thing I ever wanted to pursue, but last June, it was time. Time for me to give the one last sport I loathed, a shot. I love it. Craved it. I completed C25K in 12 weeks instead of eight, but by golly, I worked so hard to be able to run one mile without stopping, then two, then three. These accomplishments seem so small, but I had cheerleaders every step in the way who celebrated these milestones as the big deal they were to me.
I decided to train for the Cap City Half in a May. Go big(ger) or go home. I had nothing to prove to anyone, but decided this would be my personal health goal this year. The training has been tough, and with each new week of training, came anxiety of the increase of miles, and celebrations of being able to run four miles straight, with five miles being the most I've ever run. I've had great running days and bad running days, and am getting better at acknowledging that not every run will leave me feeling great.
During this training, I'm to do several races in preparation. I love love races. I don't run to win. I love the atmosphere, the comraderie, bonding, fellowship and support (seriously, how often do you hear strangers telling each other "great job?"). I love the moment when you round the corner and see the finish line, and you pick up your pace and sprint across it. The cheers, even if by just one person who is a stranger, who I wants you to know "you did it."
I didn't get that yesterday, for the first time since June, after running three 5ks prior. Apparently, there was a 1:15 hour time limit, and I missed it by four minutes (those four minutes were probably spent ice skating on the sheets of ice on a couple of those six mile). I told myself to run to Race Street, walk quickly up the hill or bounce on the balls of my feet, to Sandusky, where I would turn the corner, see the finish line, and make a mad dash for it. I turned the corner, searched for the finish line and couldn't see it. I kept running, fast, out of breath and tired, and no finish line was in sight. I got closer and closer to where it once stood ... Nothing. And not a soul around, save for two folks who, I'd like to think, wanted myself and my friend, who finished behind me, to have someone there at the "finish line." The finish line had been torn down, all participants, volunteers and organizers moved inside to nibble on cookies and socialize.
I'm well aware of time limits for races and know they're necessary, due to time constraints of public servants who need to assist the runners to keep them safe. But I've never heard of time limits so low. And, to be honest, I missed the time limit upon registration. I would've signed up anyway, having faith and being realistic that I could've met that time limit, prior to knowing conditions of the course. So taking the finish line down: hurts a little, but not as much as knowing that there were two of us still busting our asses toward a non-finish line, ending with an anticlimactic, apathetic finish. See, one of the BEST parts of a race? Watching the final runner come through, the determination, pride and exhaustion from doing their best, and cheering them on just as if they were in first place. Because, as a friend put it to me earlier, runners come in every shape, size, age, color and level. My friend and I happen to be middle-aged moms on a mission to lose weight, feel great, be good role models for our families and children, and have fun.We worked hard-HARD. We may not be fast but we work just as hard, pay our dues, leave our families and calm our nerves just like others to participate in a race. I don't care that there wasn't a physical finish line to cross: I'm sad that after all of that, today's race was nothing to me other than a "long run," lacking in that comraderie I've seen so often during other races. I don't want to be a whiney baby about this because it was something I should've made myself aware of from the start, and I know, I know ... All this over six miles. But, I'm human and can't help feeling just a little frustrated.
But in the end, I am over-the-moon that my feet, legs, body, mind and soul carried me six miles-a BEAUTIFUL, invigorating (but icy-lol) six miles, and I finished. The added bonus of my day yesterday was seeing the continued support of family and friends, celebrating yet another milestone with me. It beyond warmed my heart. I don't even know where or how I would be able to thank each person who called, texted, messaged or posted beautiful, supportive and lovely messages, cheering me on. The official results mean nothing to me as a runner, because I did it-ran my first six miles. But the love I felt today, along with feeling great about what I accomplished, means the world.
So, thank you.
And congrats to my dear friend Nicole, who finished as well!

New Delhi: Delhi Daredevils on Monday named young Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell and South Africa`s Gulam Bodi as replacements for Colin Ingram and Travis Birt in its squad for the fifth edition of the Indian Premier Premier League starting next month.
Daredevils mentor TA Sekar said Maxwell reminded team manager Aashish Kapoor and him of explosive David Warner.
"When Aashish and I watched Glenn in the Emerging Players` Tournament in Australia in July last, we saw him as a player of immense potential who loves being in the contest," he said.
"When we watched him bat, we were reminded of how we had spotted David Warner in 2008. We believe Glenn will play for Australia soon."
Maxwell, 23, holds the record for the fastest half-century ever in Australia`s domestic limited overs cricket (17 balls), striking a breathtaking 61 from 27 balls, eclipsing Australian legend David Hookes` domestic fastest-50.
His maiden first class century came in just his second Sheffield Shield match for Victoria at a run-a-ball pace.
"Besides being a dashing batsman, Glenn is a solid off-spinner and an amazing fielder, with infectious enthusiasm," Sekar said.
Sekar also said Bodi would be a solid fall-back option in the middle-order.
"Gulam was the best available replacement, given that we had to find someone within Birt`s base price," he said.
"Just the other day, he made a belligerent 90 off 51 balls with seven fours and five sixes for the Lions against the Warriors in the T20 Challenge in South Africa."
The 33-year-old Bodi has played more than 100 first class games, 131 List A games and 62 T20 games. Born in Harthuran near Surat in India, he has played two ODIs and one T20 international for South Africa.

Once upon a time....
And they lived happily ever after...
I loved those fairy tales as a kid. Everyone waving wands and poofing here and there with spells, slaying evil witches and giants, wearing seven-league boots (whatever those were), and generally living happily ever (except for the few dead casualties).
I remember lying in bed at night and knowing—just knowing—that if I believe hard enough, and I wish at just the right time, I would get those three elusive wishes everyone seemed to be getting in my fairy tales. And I knew exactly what my first two wishes would be. The ability to fly and to be invisible at will. It was always the last wish that made me crazy. I knew that until I don't have that third wish firmly embedded in my heart, no fairy is gonna waste her time on me. But that third wish had to be as perfect as the first two and I just didn't know what it could be. Go back in time? Read minds? Travel at will? Be effortlessly brilliant? It was excruciating not being able to decide.
If I would know what my third wish would be, then I too could live happily ever after.
Yeah right.
As a therapist, clients expect me to not only know what perfect happiness is, but to help them get it too.
So I think about what I thought was happiness growing up.
If I would be the best at sports in camp, then I would be happy. Second best to that Schon kid was making me miserable. Why did she ever have to come to my camp altogether?
If I would be as smart as Tsivi, who wrote a perfect essay on cockroaches, or like Miriam Rusi who aced calculus, then I would be happy.
If I could dance like Frieda or Raizy, performing on stage, then for sure I could be happy.
I wished I could be as funny as Rutty, or dramatic as Shiffy; or have such cool parents like EL (both her parents were deaf so it was so exciting to hang out at her house, with those cool inventions, and simultaneous conversations going on around the Shabbos table), then I could be happy.
I loved Shalva's hair, and Chany's handwriting, and Devoiry's basement.
Any one of those things, I tell you, and I would have been happy.
Are you laughing at me?
I know.
I'm laughing at myself too. Although I really believed as a teen that any one of those things was THE key to happiness.
Don't ask me how, but I eventually grew up, married and had children.
I would watch my daughter, Malka, how she woke up smiling in the morning, and heard music in her head all day, her body moving to a rhythm that I could not feel.
"You know," I informed my husband, "that Malka was that kid in school I would simply hate. You know, the kind of girl who loved everything and everyone. Who thought her siblings and parents and class and teachers and bedroom and hair and voice and friends were perfect."
As a teenager, I tried to grab that elusive happiness that melted in my hands frustratingly as I would attempt to close my fist over it, like the snow crystals sticking to mittened hands. My daughter had no need to grasp or grab anything as contentment flowed in and out of her as a sponge soaks up water that leaves no pore empty.
Webster's Dictionary uses the word happiness to describe contentment but I do not believe they are related at all. Happiness is a single state of pleasure, a momentary feeling dependent on externals; contentment is a way of life, of attitudes and values that flow from within.
Happiness is about what we can accomplish, attain, achieve, acquire. Happiness is the prize of our accomplishments, , achievements, attainments, acquisitions. So if we are to be happy, we need to get enough of that stuff. Any less of our ideals, and we are unhappy.
Here's the problem.
Say that Schon kid left camp and I was once again best at sports in Camp Faygah (oooh, I'm dating myself!), would I have been happy? I doubt it. I would have more likely have been bored as I would have had no one to compete with.
And if I would have been onstage performing, would I have been happy?
I doubt it as I did get onstage a number of times, and only thought how I wished my part was bigger or funnier or more exciting.
I had gorgeous hair and other girls were jealous of my cool parents and maybe calculus wasn't my thing, but what made me think writing an essay on cockroaches was the ultimate in happiness in ninth grade? My teacher's concept of writing? I don't think writing about cockroaches would go over very well in a Binah column, although Tsivi definitely used her gift for non-fiction eventually to write magnificent children's books.
So once we get that stuff we think will make us happy, the awful part is that we don't stay happy for too long. We want more stuff.
Happiness is not a permanent state of being or a finished product that after we have it, we kind of settle in and say, "Okay, I have happiness so I have time for other things now."
It's more likely we will say, "I thought that will make me happy, but I guess it didn't so I need to figure out what will."
Here's the thing
Funny thing about happiness is that even though it is totally inconsistent , ephemeral, and undependable, we treat it as a hot commodity that must be gained at all costs. And even weirder, we judge the success of our lives by our ability to achieve it even though it is in its essence impossible to achieve for any length of time!
If the object of our happiness is removed, we are left unhappy. The performance is over, the roller coaster ride is finished, the praise is withheld, the gorgeous mass is stuffed under a sheitel.
Or, if the object remains, the happiness ultimately fizzles out. The performances are getting repetitious and a drag on our time, the roller coaster is beginning to make me nauseous, her constant praise is putting major pressure me, and my hair is so long it's giving me a headache.
But contentment, untethered to anything outside of us, firmly anchored within us, remains constant, irrelevant to the ebb and flow of life that yields both pain and pleasure.
I have come a long way from that teenager that thought happiness could be bought, bargained, begged, or borrowed.
Contentment is about priorities and readjusting them to fit the situation so that disappointment doesn't have a toehold in my life. Contentment is about acceptance and finding the good in what exists right now. It's about hard work and finding the joys in what I do have. It's by building self trust so that I know what is important and letting go of ideals that are not mine.
Contentment is raising my daughter who smiles when she wakes in the morning safe and secure in her family, knowing the music she hears in her head is the music of a contented home, and the rhythm of her life—though different from mine—beats in tandem to mine.
And they lived contentedly ever after.
It just doesn't sound as good, you know?
But it feels much better.

It's been awhile since my last post, so I decided to talk about something fun and NOT about work! 🙂
1.) Coffee ice cream- It's funny that I'm even adding ice cream to this list, period! As much as I love cheese and other dairy products, I have to have a craving for ice cream in order to purchase some. Well, considering the hot, sticky humidity hovering around my city lately, it was only fitting to pick up something cold and creamy. Behold the Coffee Espresso Chip ice cream at ALDI! Seen here with my glass of Welch's mock sangria
2.) International Delight Iced coffee- I love coffee, but the money spent running to Starbucks every morning can add up quickly! Hence, picking up International Delight's Iced Coffee in Mocha is far more tasty- and economical.
3.) Gardein crabless cakes- For those that don't know, for religious reasons I abstain from pork, shellfish, and other scavengers. Yet I will not lie: shrimp and crab can be extremely yummy! So, I began to search for alternatives. Behold Gardein's crabless cakes! I'm no stranger to Gardein, and while I'm not vegan, I appreciate their beefless tips when whipping up steak tacos or using the porkless bites for my sweet n sour dish. The crabless cakes did not disappoint. Upon opening the bag, there's a familiar seafood/oceanic smell. Once warmed (pan fried is best), the texture is slightly flaky (reminiscent of real crab) and the taste is wonderful, especially served with mayo!
5.) Black Radiance BB cream- As a dark-skinned African American woman, finding makeup that complements the richness of my tone can be problematic, especially when it comes to tinted moisturizers. More often that not, the ingredient titanium dioxide can create an ashy effect on dark skin- not sexy. Not so with that drugstore gem Black Radiance! Their BB cream in Chocolate goes on light, is not overly greasy, and gives me great coverage in the summer- can't beat it!

6.) Thread UP!- I discovered this online consignment store a few months ago via the blog Single Moms' Income . The referral code came with a $10 credit so I thought "Why the hell not???" Once I started searching thru the site, I was blown away by the quality and variety of labels presented ( everything from Old Navy/Gap to DVF, with some LV thrown in ). I have ordered and enjoyed several items from the site, and now I challenge you to check out Thread UP for yourself by giving you my referral code: http://www.thredup.com/r/UO6SGQ . There's a $10 credit attached to that, so enjoy yourself! You won't regret it!
