I use to think Trump's ego was so fragile, that these things would kill him. BUT, his petulant school-yard bully behavior has not improved since being the presumptive Republican nominee as I thought maybe it would.

My Spidey-senses say Trump does not have the self awareness to change his behavior. He will continue to pivot from moment to moment and deflect and dodge from major policy issues. He is not emotionally competent or intellectually honest to be President.

Let us hope that the large majority of white men who, according to the polls will vote for him, wake up and realize this man-boy with Orangutan hair is just a momentary distraction.

"In a world of princesses, dare to be a hot dog"

No truer words were ever spoken.

Little girl turned up on Princess Day dressed as a hot dog.

AGLE POINT, Ore.– A town in southern Oregon experienced some old-fashioned cowboy justice Friday morning.

The Eagle Point Police Department posted photos on their Facebook page of a man on a horse who lassoed a would-be bicycle thief.

KOBI-TV reported a woman walked out of a Walmart store around 10 a.m. and saw a man take off with her bike. That’s when a man got his horse out of a trailer and began the chase. He successfully lassoed the man and waited for police to arrive.

Margaret Vinci Heldt, inventor of the beehive hairdo, dies at 98.

Margaret Vinci Heldt, a Chicago hairdresser credited with teasing, sculpting and spraying the first beehive, the conical up do that heralded a towering new era in style when it debuted in 1960, died June 10 at a hospital in Elmhurst, Ill. She was 98. ... The cause was heart ailments, said her daughter, Carlene Ziegler.

In the American beauty shops of the 20th century, styles came and went. There was the bob, the pageboy and the bouffant — and then there was the beehive, a hairstyle unrivaled by any other in the heights to which it soared, the volume of hair spray it required to stay in place and the nostalgia it inspired as the years wore on.

PIGEON FORGE –The not-for-profit American Eagle Foundation (AEF) (www.eagles.org) has been a major proponent and organizer in establishing “American Eagle Day,” a commemorative national day on June 20 to celebrate the bald eagle’s symbolism to Americans and its dramatic recovery from the brink of extinction.

For more than 230 years, the bald eagle has served as the living symbol of all that America stands for: freedom, courage, strength, spirit, independence, democracy and excellence.

On June 20, 1782, our nation’s founding fathers placed this majestic creature, which is unique to North America, at the center of the Great Seal of the United States.

On June 20, 2016, the American Eagle Foundation, along with the United States Congress and governors across the country, invite U.S. citizens to celebrate “American Eagle Day.” They may do so by remembering the bald eagle’s dramatic comeback, reflecting on its special symbolism, and conducting educational activities and ceremonies (including recognizing people who are “American Eagles” in their communities—those individuals who exemplify the qualities the bald eagle represents).

“We once almost lost this precious national treasure due to our own mistakes and neglect. Habitat destruction, illegal shootings, and the use of DDT caused the Bald Eagle population to drop to less than 500 nesting pairs in the lower 48 states in the early 60s,” says AEF Founder and President Al Cecere, “but we, the people, joined together, rose to the occasion, and vigilantly brought it back to America’s lands, waterways and skies.”

The USFWS estimates that there are more than 143,000 bald eagles in the continental United States today. The bald eagle was removed from Endangered Species Act protection in 2007, but still remains protected by the Bald & Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940.

“American Eagle Day” was first recognized in 1995 by entertainment icon Dolly Parton, President Bill Clinton, Tennessee Governor Don Sundquist, and Tennessee Senators Howard Baker Jr. and Lamar Alexander. Since then, governors from 49 states have recognized “American Eagle Day” with proclamations and special documents, giving the National Bird its own “official day” in their states. The United States Senate and House of Representatives have unanimously passed several “American Eagle Day” Resolutions since 2007.

“On American Eagle Day, and every day, let us continue to treasure and protect the bald eagle all across this great land for future generations to enjoy,” says Cecere, who has been spearheading the effort for more than two decades.

A befuddled British voter named Adam who is having a very bewildering day told the BBC that he is “a bit shocked, to be honest” that he voted to leave the EU and now Britain has done gone and left the EU. Adam, whose last name was mercifully withheld, didn’t think his vote counted, you see.

A transcript:

I’m a bit shocked to be honest. I’m shocked that we actually have voted to Leave, I didn’t think that was going to happen.

My vote, I didn’t think was going to matter too much because I thought we were just going to Remain, and the David Cameron resignation has blown me away to be honest.

I think the period of uncertainty that we’re going to have for the next couple of months, that’s just been magnified now.

So yeah, quite worried.

How to write good

1. Avoid alliteration. Always.

2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.

3. Avoid cliches like a plague. They're old hat.

4. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.

5. Be more or less specific.

6. Writers should never generalize.

Seven. Be consistent!

8. Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.

9. Who needs rhetorical questions?

10. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

Isn't Frederick a handsome boy?

He's the real life Black Beauty.

And Frederik The Great, a breathtakingly beautiful Friesian stallion from the United States, may just be the world's most handsome horse.

Sharing his name with the ruler of Prussia from 1740-1786, the highly acclaimed horse has a muscular build, striking black features and flowing mane.

The beautiful stallion is owned by Pinnacle Friesians where he stands at stud in the Ozark Mountains in the US.

World War II Female Pilot turns 100 and Reunites with Her Love.

Dorothy Olsen, a pilot who flew during World War II, turned 100 on Sunday, and was able to reunite with an old love.

“There’s my baby!” Olsen exclaimed as she walked onto the tarmac at Joint Base Lewis-McChord and spotted the restored P-51 Mustang waiting for her.

Olsen is a former Women Airforce Service Pilot, or WASP, who helped ferry aircraft like the Mustang across the country during the war.

“She would pick up a P-51 in Long Beach where they were built, fly it across the country to Newark, where they would ship them to Europe,” explained Kim Olsen, her son.

Animal Shelter Wants Pokemon Go Players To Walk Dogs.

“The idea is that they take the dog on kind of an adventure for the day,” Phil Peckinpaugh, shelter director, told The Huffington Post.

Peckinpaugh, who said both his nephew and daughter play the game, got the idea after noticing “droves” of people all over the city of Muncie hunting Pokemon with their games.

“It would be great if every one of those individuals had one of our dogs with them,” he said. He teamed up with Sam Wiser, an intern in the mayor’s office, and she created the volunteer ad that’s since gone viral on Facebook.

Playboy Model Dani Mathers takes photo of naked woman at the gym, posts it on Snapchat to ridicule.

*This young woman has a really ugly soul, she will hopefully get her comeuppance, learn a life lesson and become a better person.

what may be a first for a Playboy Playmate, Dani Mathers was slammed for posting a picture of a naked woman on Thursday.

Mathers snapped a photo of a woman showering at an L.A. Fitness gym without her knowledge, and then posted it to her Snapchat with the caption, “If I can’t unsee this then you can’t either.”

She then shared a picture of herself laughing — but no one was laughing with her.

The backlash has been swift.

I just want us/ people to stop denying the things that are right in front of our faces. Sometimes we're confused but a lot of the time we're just playing games. I think that's our greatest failing. How are we ever going to grow and evolve as a species if we won't stop lying to each other and ourselves? So maybe you don't agree with the vegan position and I can accept that without a lot of complaining but let's stop distorting the facts about everything...

A Big Rush!, yet TERRIFYING!

A thousand foot high glass slide.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — I've jumped out of a plane from 13,000 feet. I've ridden 400-foot-tall roller coasters that top speeds of 100 mph, and I once found myself using my fingernails to clutch the side of a rock face way too steep to climb without gear.

Heights have never fazed me. Until the Skyslide, a terrifying glass tube on the outside of the U.S. Bank Tower in downtown Los Angeles. It's open to the public Saturday, and journalists were given an early chance to try it out.

Perched 1,000 feet above the ground on the side of the tallest skyscraper west of the Mississippi, the 360-degree glass slide is utterly terrifying. It's is nearly a straight shot down, except for a small turn at the beginning that causes riders to bump against the side of the glass, much to their horror.

I tried not to pay attention to the screams from other people riding the slide as I waited in what seemed like an interminable line. I tried not to think about the fact that just 1¼ inches separated me from a 1,000-foot drop.

An Australian fur seal that fell asleep in a public toilet block in Tasmania has been safely relocated.

A council work crew was startled to find the 120kg (265lb) seal, who they named Sammy, taking a nap in the women's toilets at Mersey Vale Lawn Cemetery on Tuesday.

Sammy was sedated and taken to a nearby beach to be released.

The cemetery is about 500m from the ocean and it is believed Sammy may have swum up a creek to reach it.

International Clown Week. Aug. 1- Aug 7

http://worldartsme.com/images/serious-clown-clipart-1.jpg

International Clown Week is celebrated each year during the week of August 1–7.

Clown groups often celebrate the week with special activities such as performing volunteer shows or having their local mayor declare the week as a city celebration to coincide with the national and international clown week.

Clown Week was celebrated on a limited scale in the 1950s. In 1966 the first International Clown Week chairman, Frank "Kelly the Clown" Kelly, was appointed by Ray Bickford, president of Clown Club of America. In 1967 Clown Club of America members were urged to write to their congressmen and senators requesting a presidential proclamation naming August 1–7 as National Clown Week. In 1969 a resolution was introduced. After clowns met with Senator John McClellan of Arkansas who was chairman of the United States Senate subcommittee on Observances and Holidays success was finally achieved.

4,800-Year-Old Fossil Of Mother Cradling Child Unearthed

http://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Mother_Child_Fossil.jpeg

The 48 sets of remains unearthed in graves in the Taichung area are the earliest trace of human activity found in central Taiwan. The most striking discovery among them was the skeleton of a young mother looking down at a child cradled in her arms.

“When it was unearthed, all of the archaeologists and staff members were shocked. Why? Because the mother was looking down at the baby in her hands,” said Chu Whei-lee, a curator in the Anthropology Department at Taiwan’s National Museum of Natural Science.

The excavation of the site began in May 2014 and took a year to complete. Carbon dating was used to determine the ages of the fossils, which included five children.

Missouri GOP candidate's entire campaign ad consists of shooting a machine gun in slow motion. :bolt:

If the pomp and absurdity of the presidential campaign is getting you down, and you find yourself longing for a simpler time when a pair of biceps, a crew cut, and a big gun could win an election, you’re in luck, Missouri is still a state! Since it’s a state, it needs a governor, and that governor might very well end up being Republican candidate Eric Greitens.

The 42-year-old former Navy SEAL (and former Democrat) won the state’s Republican primary on Tuesday and will now square off with the state’s Democratic Attorney General in the race to replace term-limited Gov. Jay Nixon. Greitens, despite having an impressive resume—Rhodes Scholar, Ph.D. from Oxford University, author, photographer, humanitarian, you know the usual—has focused on his ability to fire a machine gun, which is pretty much what governors do all day.

Some people go for a walk or a drive to decompress, Greitens blows off steam by firing a Gatling-style machine gun into a lake. Greitens path to the governor's mansion hopefully isn't relying too heavily on the lakehouse owner vote.

U.S. male gymnasts want to be objectified.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/rio-2016-u-s-male-gymnasts-want-to-be-objectified-1470625110

When the United States men’s gymnastics team came to the site of the Olympics earlier this year for a reconnaissance training camp, the American athletes did what anyone in Brazil with a carefully sculpted body would do. They went to the beach, stripped to their Speedos and whipped out a selfie stick. The soaring peaks of Sugarloaf Mountain in the background have never looked so meek.

What happened next was exactly the reaction the U.S. team imagined. The Internet went gaga for the ensuing Instagrams.

That wasn’t an accident. It’s one of the ways they think they can get attention in a country that showers glory upon gold-medal-winning women gymnasts while ignoring America’s less-successful men’s team.

Left Handers Day Shocking Facts: 12 Reasons Why Lefties Are Awesome! (http://www.latintimes.com/left-handers-day-shocking-facts-12-reasons-why-lefties-are-awesome-395188)

http://images.latintimes.com/sites/latintimes.com/files/styles/large_breakpoints_theme_lt_desktop_1x/public/2016/08/12/left-hander.jpg

August 13 is International Left-Handers Day (http://www.lefthandersday.com/), an initiative from the Left-Handers Club to increase public awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of being left-handed. Although lefties have to live in a world made for righties, struggling with spiral notebooks, binders, school desks, driver's cup holder, keyboards, game controllers, dealing with scissors, butter knives and getting ink or graphite on the side of your hand, and other shocking scientific facts that basically add to the reasons why lefties are prone to dying sooner, there are very cool advantages that come with being a lefty!

1) Did you know left-handers are more likely to pass their driver's test on the first try?

2) They are also more apt to be a part of Mensa, the world's largest and oldest high IQ society. This is because studies have shown lefties are more likely to have an IQ score above 131.

3) Lefties are great at competitive sports. They make especially good baseball players, tennis players, swimmers, boxers and fencers (almost 40% of the top tennis players are lefties).
ADVERTISING

4) Left handers recover from strokes faster.

5) And are also more likely to pursue creative careers.

6) Of the seven most recent U.S Presidents, 4 have been left handed, including Bush Sr., Bill Clinton and Obama.

7) Left handed college graduates go on to become 26% richer than right handed graduates.

8) Lefties can clearly see the world underwater. Scientists think it has something to do with a different part of the brain being central in left handed individuals.

9) Research shows lefties are smarter in math because their brains are more flexible.

10) Left handers process things faster than righties and can multitask easier thanks to connections between the right and left sides of the brain being faster in left-handed people.

11) Left-handed people easily hear rapidly changing sounds.

12) And, lefties are better at playing video games, although controllers are made for righties!

Police cooks pasta for an elderly couple after neighbors heard them crying.

A story about urban loneliness and an act of kindness.

Last Tuesday police in Rome were called to a block of flats in the Appio area of the city after someone reported hearing crying and shouting.

Four officers attended the scene and found 84-year-old Jole and her 94-year-old husband Michele in their small flat. The elderly couple hadn’t committed a crime. Nor had burglars attempted to break in.

Jole and Michele had started to cry while watching television. The former had asked her husband why there was so much hate in the news that day and Jole had cried so loudly that someone in the building called the police.

The elderly couple, who have been married for nearly 70 years, felt lonely. It had been ages since someone had visited them, they told the officers.

On the kitchen table there were only some old grapes, and few signs of a recent proper meal. So as police waited for an ambulance to check in on the couple, one officer prepared a plate of pasta for Jole and Michele – a simple dish, spaghetti with butter and parmesan – while the other three officers sat down with the couple for a chat.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CpaVyiDWcAA12tO.jpg

For any one of us who know any elderly people, it is so important to give them a call on the tele, drop by with some food or just visit once in a while. It makes a world of difference, we can not assume they have family or friends with whom they have meaningful relationships.

Ellen Degeneres defends her Usain Bolt tweet, some calling her a racist.

Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres defended herself on Tuesday after some claimed that a humorous Usain Bolt tweet sent out from her social media accounts a day earlier was racist.

“I am highly aware of the racism that exists in our country,” @TheEllenShow tweeted. “It is the furthest thing from who I am.”

DeGeneres’ popular Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts often feature funny images that have been altered to include her. On Monday, her accounts sent out a picture of her riding on Bolt’s back during Sunday’s 100 meter semifinal with the suggestion she’d like to use the Jamaican sprinter’s word-class speed to get her errands done faster.

God destroys Tony Perkins' home

As we are repeatedly instructed, God uses hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, and lethal diseases to punish people for sinning. This week the Lord Almighty aimed his Holy Wrath at Louisiana, where among the thousands of people made homeless by flooding is hate group leader Tony Perkins, who reports that he had to escape his destroyed home by canoe.

Perkins is on vacation this month, but today he called into his own radio show to lament the “biblical proportion” disaster that will allegedly force his family to live in a camper for the six months it will take to rebuild his home. Today’s guest host for Perkins’ show is former Family Research Council vice president Ken Klukowski, who now works for Breitbart.

Listen below as they spin this natural disaster as an opportunity for Christians to rejoice that God considers them “worthy of suffering for his sake.” And to “use this as an incredible, encouraging spiritual exercise to take you to the next level in your walk with an almighty and gracious God who does all things well.” Including destroying the fuck out of thousands of houses.

*I have no hope that he will recognize the irony or moderate his views. Somebody else's house = punishment from God, Tony Perkins' house = "worthy of suffering for his sake."

Not two. Not three. Four. “Two minutes is just enough to be terrified,” said Mandy Len Catron, the author of a Modern Love column on the exercise. “Four really goes somewhere.”

Mercedes Maybach Vision 6 - 19 ft of electric luxury coupe!

http://cdn.carshowroom.com.au/media/21458212/2016-vision-mercedes-maybach-6-coupe-concept-6.jpg.ashx?w=728&h=410&mode=crop&watermark=csr&format=jpg&quality=74&progressive=true&encoder=freeimage

There's something about a long hood that makes everyone go weak in the knees. All that space between the front wheels and the doors exudes raw power and massive wealth. It's been true from the earliest days of the automobile, when cylinder count was synonymous and commensurate with both horsepower and bank account. It's true today, even in an era of engine downsizing and forced induction. If the Mercedes-Maybach Vision 6 Concept is any indication, it'll be true in the era of electric vehicles, as well.

That's right. Hiding beneath that flight deck of a hood is not a V-12 but a trunk with custom-fitted luggage. Beneath that is an 80 kW-hr battery mounted in the floor for better weight distribution and a low center of gravity. It drives four permanent-magnet synchronous electric motors, one connected to each wheel. Together they produce 738 horsepower.

Before we discuss performance, it would give greater perspective to first address the elephant in the wheelbase. This car is huge. At 224.4 inches long, it's 18.7 feet of 1 percent chariot. That's 10 inches longer than the Mercedes-Maybach S600 and 5 inches short of a Rolls-Royce Phantom II, and those both have four doors. Remember when American cars were land yachts? The biggest of them all, the 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 limousine, was just 2 feet longer (3 inches short of the modern Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman six-passenger limousine, as it happens). At 52.3 inches tall, it's only 2 inches taller than the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. Long and low, baby.

"British physicist Stephen Hawking’s dire warning: “I don’t think we will survive another 1,000 years without escaping beyond our fragile planet.” Hawking gave his first Australian speech at Sydney’s Opera House via hologram from his office at the University of Cambridge.

“I want to share my excitement and enthusiasm about this quest, so remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet,” Hawking continued. I think most leaders are doing neither. If they did look down at their feet, they might notice that we are poisoning and destroying the very environment that sustains all life.

And the captains of trade and industry? Well they are really only interested in looking into the black holes of their deep pockets – from which nothing escapes (even light)."

Bigger brains then mine take it for granted we won't survive another thousand years. Frankly, I don't believe we will be here in the next 200 years..and it wouldn't surprise me if we were gone by the end of this century. Why? Because we have saturated our soil, our air, and our bodies with poison. We are allowing chemical companies like Monsanto to modify and insert poison and chemicals into what we eat. GMO's are very scary but what we have done to animal husbandry is a tragedy. The suffering animals on this planet go through just to satisfy our greed is unconscionable. We make excuses not to do our part. Why? Why isn't every human on this planet protecting this planet and all the creatures that inhabit it? We are wonderous creatures, but we are so foolish and when enough of us finally wake up and decide we had better do something. It will be too late. One by one we will begin to die, like the bees, the elephants, the lions, a sweet little flamingo. Because we do not believe in the value of life. We fail to understand, all life is precious, all of it.

The unbelievable life of a forgotten genius who turned American's space dreams into reality.

Meet Katherine Johnson, mathematician extraordinaire.

"There's no protocol for women attending," says a white man in a suit holding a sheaf of papers.

"There's no protocol for a man circling the Earth either, sir," Taraji P. Henson retorts in my favorite line from the new trailer for the movie "Hidden Figures," due theaters this January.

Henson plays Katherine Johnson, a brilliant mathematician at NASA working on the space program in its earliest days, beginning in the 1950s. Many of NASA's first missions were made possible by Johnson's intrepid, unparalleled calculations.

The movie is based on a nonfiction book of the same name by Margot Lee Shetterly, who grew up near NASA's Langley Research Center, where Johnson and her colleagues worked.

Johnson still lives near Langley in Hampton, Virginia, where she'll be celebrating her 98th birthday later this month. Keep scrolling to learn the true story of her incredible life.

NO Spoilers, I promise.

So, over the weekend I saw the movie Don't Breathe. I thoroughly enjoy a good scary flick, but there are really very few good ones. *imo

http://media.comicbook.com/2016/08/dont-breath-1-1-196922.jpg

Hollywood disappoints on so many occasions, with their hyped up positive paid reviews of so many movies. But when I saw the trailer for this movie, it stopped me in my tracks! It appeared to be so simple, could it possibly be as riveting as they claim?

Why yes! it was. The imagery of down and out Detroit Michigan as the setting was brilliant. No CGI (computer generated imagery) was used, or so that was obvious. The acting was believable using no huge blockbuster folks.

Like a good roller coaster ride, your emotions and loyalty are all over the place. Takes a lot to surprise me, but this one did in a way that deserves applause for the director.

A wonderful social allegory. I recommend highly for people who enjoy this genre of film.

Let’s start with a story from Jon Muth’s book “Zen Shorts (https://www.amazon.com/Zen-Shorts-Caldecott-Honor-Book/dp/0439339111/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1472480366&sr=8-1&keywords=zen+shorts).”

Two traveling monks reached a town where there was a young woman waiting to step out of her sedan chair. The rains had made deep puddles and she couldn’t step across without spoiling her silken robes. She stood there, looking very cross and impatient. She was scolding her attendants. They had nowhere to place the packages they held for her, so they couldn’t help her across the puddle.

The younger monk noticed the woman, said nothing, and walked by. The older monk quickly picked her up and put her on his back, transported her across the water, and put her down on the other side. She didn’t thank the older monk; she just shoved him out of the way and departed.

As they continued on their way, the young monk was brooding and preoccupied. After several hours, unable to hold his silence, he spoke out. “That woman back there was very selfish and rude, but you picked her up on your back and carried her! Then, she didn’t even thank you!”

“I set the woman down hours ago,” the older monk replied. “Why are you still carrying her?”

There is an actual cost to holding onto things we should let go of. It can come in the form of anger, frustration, resentment or something even worse.

$600 designer sneakers feature dirt, tears and duct tape

In case you don't have the patience to wear in sneakers for yourself, you can now blow your latest paycheck on a pair of pre-dirtied, pre-ripped and pre-duct taped kicks.

Fancy brand Golden Goose is selling the Distressed Superstar Sneakers at Barneys for approximately $600 a pair – but you can't really put a price on the creating the illusion of being a chill person who wears comfy sneaks so often that they're nearly destroyed.

Not only are the shoes covered in what looks like dirt, but the pink pair features very frayed laces and appears to be held together by duct tape

Laurie Hernandez pitched for the the New York Mets, but she didn’t throw just any old boring pitch. She’s a gold medal-winning Olympic gymnast, after all.

So she threw the pitch the only way she knew how — like a badass gymnast.

Hernandez performed an aerial cartwheel before pitching the first ball. Because of course she did.

Alcohol-fueled Amish party, 73 arrested.

http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2016/09/07/0907-amish-party-raided.html

Authorities in the heart of Ohio’s Amish country say they arrested more than 70 people in a raid at a weekend party in a field that was expected to attract hundreds of Amish youth.

More than 40 officers converged Saturday on the Hardy Township field west of Millersburg off of Rt. 39 after concerned parents notified the Holmes County sheriff’s office of a large party expected to attract over 1,000 Amish from Ohio and neighboring states.

Investigators say 73 people, including 35 juveniles, were taken into custody and charged with underage consumption of alcohol....

The Amish are a Christian sect whose members live a simple lifestyle and shun modern conveniences.

DNA surprise! Giraffes are four species not one.

http://anniekatzphotography.com/uploads/processed/0841/0810081512521mom___baby_giraffes.jpg

The Giraffe Conservation Foundation asked scientists to carry out a genetic analysis of giraffes in Namibia, southwest Africa, merely to understand how similar, or not, different populations were to each other, and how that could help in conservation efforts.

But the scientists uncovered something unexpected.

Though modern giraffes had long been recognized as a single species, Giraffa camelopardalis, divided into a few subspecies, the researchers found four distinct species.

Meet the first open lesbian candidate in the Miss America contest! Ms. Erin O' Flaherty

In June 2016, Erin O’Flaherty made history as the first openly gay Miss America contestant after being crowned Miss Missouri.

O’Flaherty is now preparing to take the stage on Sept. 11 to compete in the Miss America pageant against the other individual state winners.

O’Flaherty’s presence in the pageant is particularly meaningful to femme lesbians who are often invisible in the larger context of queer community, simply because they don’t look like mainstream America’s typical idea of a lesbian.

In this interview with The Huffington Post, O’Flaherty reflects on the public reception of her historic win, why she thinks it has taken this long for there to be an openly gay Miss America contestant and what she wants queer kids to take away from her platform.

*I know I will be watching proudly. Go Erin go!

Ostriches? Did someone say Ostriches? Don't hide your head in the sand, here is everything you want to know about our largest bird friend.

What do ostriches eat?

Ostriches are omnivores, which means they eat both vegetation and meat. Although they prefer plants — especially roots, seeds and leaves — they also eat locusts, lizards, snakes and rodents, according to the San Diego Zoo. They also eat sand and pebbles, to help grind up their food inside their gizzard, which is a small pouch where food is crushed and ripped up before it reaches the stomach.

Ostriches don't need to drink water; they get all the water they need from the plants they eat. However, they do drink if they come across a watering hole.

http://www.gifmania.co.uk/Animals-Animated-Gifs/Animated-Birds/Ostrich/Ostrich-Face-67859.gif

Mating habits

Male ostriches are called cocks or roosters, and females are called hens. A group of ostriches is called a flock. Flocks can consist of up to 100 birds, though most have 10 members, according to the San Diego Zoo. The group has a dominant male and a dominant female and several other females. Lone males come and go during mating season.

To get a female's attention, males bow and flap their wings outward to display their plumage. When they are ready to mate, the male's beak and shins will turn bright red. Sometimes, his neck will change to a red color to match. Females also change color when they are ready to mate. Their feathers will turn a silvery color, according to the American Ostrich Association.

*(last time I flapped my wings to get a femme's attention, she was none too pleased)

All aboard the most ridiculous, most stupidly huge cruise ship on earth.

A CRUISE SHIP is an all-in-one holiday destination, where several thousand tourists pile aboard to eat, drink and get sunburned for a week. Harmony of the Seas is the latest and largest addition, where you can lunch at a parkside cafe and jump on a zip line directly afterward.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/08/18/14/2B772B5300000578-0-image-a-22_1439903414244.jpg

At 1,188 feet long and 226,000 tons, the Royal Carribean ocean liner is only slightly larger than its predecessor, Oasis of the Seas. Guests and staff equal around 8,000 people, and tickets range from $1,000 to $7,000. The entire experience is guaranteed to whisk you away on what amounts to a floating Mall of America. “It gives you the sense of traveling without doing it,” says photographer Alberto Bernasconi.

http://blog.primejourneys.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Oasis.png

When Bernasconi heard about the ocean liner, he had to see the gluttony and grandeur firsthand. He set sail on a four-day trip from Barcelona in July, just three months after Harmony’s maiden voyage. Even in the world of luxury cruises, the amenities were staggering. The ship boasts a 3-D movie theater, a casino, and “The Ultimate Abyss” slide with a 10-story drop. For the fitness obsessed, there’s a rock-climbing wall, a sports court, and a 0.33-mile running track.1 For the culturally inclined, you can see a production of Grease in the theater or a Victorian melodrama … performed on an ice rink.

http://www.travelweek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Harmony-of-the-Seas-Delivery-Ceremony-3.jpg?b4168a

And then, there’s the food. The ship is outfitted with 13 restaurants plus a robot bar. One eatery offered sustainable, “farm-to-ship” dining while another went a bit celestial with a themed menu of “sun, sea, ice, earth, fire and dreams.” Several Americans on board wanted to eat hot dogs on the 4th of July, but Harmony had that covered too with The Boardwalk Hot Dog House.

There was also the glorious Mediterranean Sea, but no one seemed to pay much attention to it. Each afternoon, Harmony docked so vacationers could wander around the many international ports like Marseilles, France and Naples, Italy for a couple of hours. But the boat was the true attraction.

http://images.r.cruisecritic.com.au/features/2016/06/harmony-zip-2.jpg

*This, is not my cup of tea. I want to feel the breeze, feel movement the inertia. Why don't these people just go to Disney World? They are not enjoying the Mediterranean, Marseilles, Naples. Viking Cruise travel seems so much better than this.

'Smart' vibrator company sued for tracking users habits.

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51zKGG3pBVL.jpg

We-Vibe's makers sued after customer finds out they know all about her orgasms (and also her email address).

A woman is suing her dildo manufacturer for knowing too much about when and how she uses it.

A few weeks ago, two researchers told the Defcon hacking convention audience that We-Vibe “smart” sex toys send a lot of data about their users back to the company that makes them. According to Courthouse News, one We-Viber took this news hard. A woman known only as “N.P.” filed a class action civil suit in a federal court in Illinois against Standard Innovation, which makes the We Vibe line of sex toys and corresponding app.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140916/146601

The smartphone app lets users “customize” their We-Vibe experience, unlock app-only “bonus” vibration modes such as the “cha-cha-cha” and the “crest,” and “create unlimited custom playlists,” according to the product’s website. In the suit, N.P. says she bought a We-Vibe in May and used it “several times” until she realized that it was sending data about her usage practices back to Standard Innovation’s servers, including when she used it, which vibration settings she used, and her email address.

The two researchers, known only as “followr” and “g0ldfisk,” said they discovered the amount of data the app transmitted back to Standard Innovation when looking for security flaws (not an unheard of possibility when it comes to internet-enabled sex toys). After the presentation, a spokesperson for the company told CNET it would “clarify” its terms and conditions to make it more obvious that the app could transmit data, which was “mostly anonymized” was being used for “market research.” It would also add the ability to opt-out. The company also posted a “commitment to customer privacy and security” on its website.

Dolphins may have a spoken language, new research suggests.

Well duh, silly humans.

A conversation between dolphins may have been recorded by scientists for the first time, a Russian researcher claims.

Two adult Black Sea bottlenose dolphins, named Yasha and Yana, didn't interrupt each other during an interaction taped by scientists and may have formed words and sentences with a series of pulses, Vyacheslav Ryabov says in a new paper.

http://bestanimations.com/Animals/Mammals/Dolphins/dolphin/dolphin-animated-gif-19.gif

"The (pulse) exchanges reminds us of an exchange with sentences between two people," Ryabov told CNN.

Joshua Smith, a research fellow at Murdoch University Cetacean Research Unit, says there will need to be more research before scientists can be sure whether dolphins are chatting.

There are two different types of noises dolphins use for communication, whistles and clicks, also known as pulses.

Using new recording techniques, Ryabov separated the individual "non coherent pulses" the two dolphins made and theorized each pulse was a word in the dolphins' language, while a collection of pulses is a sentence.

https://media.giphy.com/media/ZhEdAJ6aqEjYc/giphy.gif

"Dolphins are producing these packs of pulses without interrupting each other which let's us suggest that each of the dolphins listen to one another before it starts its own pack of pulses," he told CNN.

"Humans must take the first step to establish relationships with the first intelligent inhabitants of the planet Earth by creating devices capable of overcoming the barriers that stand in the way of ... communications between dolphins and people," he said.

Tuskegee airmen denied flying commercially after WWll. These courageous and talented pilots turn to riding motorcycles for that adrenaline rush and formed groups that rode all over the country.

*Not one of our finest hours. To be a commercial pilot then held high prestige and made a very good living. So many talented black men being held back.

Despite serving their country with distinction as pilots during World War II, the Tuskegee Airmen were denied the right to become commercial airline pilots for nearly 20 years after the end of the war.

Ken Rapier is president of the Chicago DODO Chapter of Tuskegee Airmen Inc.

He said the chapter is named after the dodo bird — a bird of the island of Mauritius that lost its ability to fly — because, just like the dodo, the Airmen lost the ability to fly.

https://theclio.com/web/ul/7266.9079.jpg

“After World War II, even though the Tuskegee Airmen were proven superior pilots, they were not given the ability to fly commercially,” Rapier said. “Airline pilots make good money. Certainly back in those days it was considered a glamour job.”

David Harris, who was hired by American Airlines in 1964, became the first African-American commercial pilot.

With reduced drag from a lead car and an insane gear ratio, you can really get going just by pedaling.

http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Mueller-at-147-mph-womens-world-bicycle-speed-record.jpg

American cyclist Denise Mueller recently set a new woman's bicycle land speed record of 147 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. She rode just inches behind a modified Land Rover SRV that served as a pace car and used a tail fairing to shield Mueller from wind resistance while she made her run.

As you might imagine, the bicycle itself was also heavily modified for the world record attempt. The elongated frame, vibration-dampening seatpost, suspension fork, and custom 17-inch motorcycle wheels with bald tires help to lower Mueller's center of gravity for added stability and keep the ride relatively smooth even as she pushes 150 mph. In these land speed runs, it is critical that the cyclist stay within the draft zone of the pace car.

"Hitting a 140 mph wall of air will knock me off my bike," Mueller told Velo News.

Mueller was going 70mph faster than this guy.

When Two Black Holes Collide

"....tugging at the space around them." My goodness, how profound is that?!

http://www.saxonscope.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/ezgif.com-optimize.gif

Last September, a small chirp rattled a pair of L-shaped antennas for the first time. That’s the sound you hear when there’s a ripple in the fabric of space and time – a gravitational wave. The wave is caused by two black holes colliding, circling each other at half the speed of sound, tugging at the space and time around them.

This December, scientists heard the chirp again, confirming Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity for the second time in recorded history.

https://media4.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/7AkJJWFxIOSGNhbmAaZuiChy7PQ/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2015/02/09/827/n/1922398/7456dc79_blackholegif.gif

David Reitze played a key role in the discovery. He’s the executive director of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), which operates the antennas in Louisiana and Washington state that picked up the waves.

“On a fundamental scale it changes the way we look at the universe,” he says. “So it’s a new kind of astronomy. And I think everybody can get excited about that.”

We read about what war and oppression does to our sisters and brothers in Syria and elsewhere on this globe. Not enough talk about our animal friends and our environment. The following is a heartwarming story about one hero to many 4-legged pals in one of the most dangerous places on Earth.

Meet "The Cat Man of Aleppo

The Cat Man of Aleppo: A crowd-sourced animal sanctuary in east Aleppo teaches compassion: ‘To love the small, weak cat is to love everything.'

AMMAN: “Every cat has a story,” says Mohammad Alaa Aljaleel, a full-time ambulance driver and part-time cat caretaker living in rebel-held east Aleppo.

https://s.yimg.com/dh/ap/default/160926/art_cat4.jpg

There’s Sukhoi, named for a Russian fighter plane, “because he’s so fast.” There’s Zorro the Noble, who defended one of the cats “when the others attacked her.”

“And then, there’s al-Baghdadi, who kills the other cats and takes their food,” earning him the name of the Islamic State leader.

http://syriadirect.org/uploads/editor/source/August%202016//cats2.png

Aljaleel recounted these and other tales of the more than 170 cats, two dogs and other animals that he feeds and houses in a cat shelter—the first of its kind in Syria—in the Masaken Hanano neighborhood of east Aleppo, one of the epicenters of the Syrian war.

How does Aljaleel run an animal shelter in a warzone? The answer is that he is not alone. An online network of supporters around the world is donating thousands of dollars to help not only the stray animals of east Aleppo, but also the humans experiencing the shortages and trauma of blockade and bombardment.

Famous Frog "Toughie" Dies, Sending Species to Extinction.

Toughie, the world's last Rabbs' fringe-limbed tree frog and a symbol of the extinction crisis, has died at his home in the Atlanta Botanical Garden.

http://pmdvod.nationalgeographic.com/NG_Video/330/103/160923-news-honduras-frogs-chytrid-fungus-vin_thumbnail_ds1602001-114_640x360_771304515848.jpg

The famed frog's age is unknown, but he's at least 12 years old, and likely older, because he was an adult when collected in 2005.

Mark Mandica, who worked with Toughie for seven years, says the frog's story isn't entirely unique. “A lot of attention had been paid to him in captivity, so he even has his own Wikipedia page,” Mandica, head of the Amphibian Foundation, notes. “But there are plenty of other species out there that are disappearing, sometimes before we even knew that they were there.”

This Glow-In-The-Dark Bike Path Is Powered By The Sun

On the right track to preventing nighttime accidents.

http://www.solaripedia.com/images/large/6567.jpg

Poland is kicking the concept of a traditional bike trail to the curb.

On Sept. 23, the rural town of Lidzbark Warminski opened a short biking path that glows blue in the dark. Charging by day via the sun, the special section of trail is a new addition to a larger recreation path that leads up to Wielochowskie Lake.

European engineering company TPA sp. z o.o designed the technology that lights this segment of the bike path. The asphalt contains synthetic particles called “luminophores,” which at night emit power captured from sunlight, creating the electric blue hue. TPA says the glow lasts up to 10 hours, according to Polish newspaper Gazeta Olsztyńska.

http://www.thisiscolossal.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/path-3.jpg

This segment of bike trail isn’t just pretty; it’s also supposed to be practical.

“We hope that the glowing bicycle path will help prevent bicycle and pedestrian accidents at night,” Igor Ruttmar, TPA president and CEO, told ABC News. “It’s a problem here in Poland, especially in the areas farther from the cities that are darker and more invisible in the night.”

This reconstructed 3D home reveals ancient Pompeii before Vesuvius struck (http://www.sciencealert.com/this-reconstructed-3d-home-reveals-ancient-pompeii-before-vesuvius-struck)

The calm before the storm.
PETER DOCKRILL 5 OCT 2016

Archaeologists have virtually reconstructed an ancient Pompeii house in 3D, revealing the beauty of a well-to-do Italian home almost 2,000 years ago.

The project, which recreates the dwelling of a wealthy Pompeii banker called Caecilius Iucundus, gives us our best look yet at what living conditions were like in the famous city before the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

The reconstruction builds upon the work of the Swedish Pompeii Project, which began in 2000 at the Swedish Institute in Rome and is now overseen by researchers at Sweden's Lund University.

Scientists led by archaeologist Anne-Marie Leander Touati conducted 3D scanning of a Pompeii city block during fieldwork expeditions between 2011 and 2012, and the plush home you can see in the video below is one of the first 3D models to be completed as part of the virtual restoration:

ETd7pszxhnc

"By combining new technology with more traditional methods, we can describe Pompeii in greater detail and more accurately than was previously possible," says one of the researchers, digital archaeologist Nicoló Dell´Unto.

The city block the researchers scanned with hand-held laser scanners and a drone is called Insula V1, and was chosen because it was situated at the crossing of two of Pompeii's main thoroughfares.

Because of this centralised location, the researchers say it was a privileged position for both commercial activity and stately living.

This helps to explain some of the grandeur of Caecilius Iucundus's envisaged living space – at least, before the fiery destruction wreaked by Mount Vesuvius, that is, which is estimated to have claimed more than 2,000 lives.

The researchers acknowledge that details of the virtual home come from a variety of sources.

Some of these sources are objective – such as decorations that are still preserved on site – while others are more speculative, based on archaeologists' best interpretations of what the architecture and lifestyle in ancient Pompeii really looked like nearly 2 millennia ago.

In the interests of authenticity, the researchers haven't populated the reconstruction with virtual family members, visitors, and slaves, but they say the large dwelling would have been filled with people both day and night.

While Iucundus wasn't part of the ruling political elite in Pompeii, we know from his surviving correspondence that he was a very wealthy man.

His home was designed to let as much light in as possible to enable him to work, with the house's most decorated room being called the tabularium, where Iucundus would have seen to his affairs.

Insula V1 features two large wealthy estates in addition to the banker's home, plus a tavern, a laundry, a bakery, and several gardens – one of which had taps for a fountain left running at the time of the eruption, the researchers say.

While the primary purpose of the video is to provide the public with a glimpse into the conditions of ancient Pompeii life, the overall aim of the research is more scientific – the team will be sharing their entire 3D data set and workflow, "to make the reconstruction process completely transparent and available for researchers and students".

Awesome – and that means it's possible too that we could be seeing a lot more of ancient Pompeii soon.

You can watch the researchers explain more about the virtual reconstruction project in the video below:

A Texas judge has quit the Republican Party after officiating his first same-sex marriage, deciding he had had enough of its intolerance.

Jennings said when some mentioned that many Republican judges might not be willing to preside over a same-sex marriage, “that’s when I started thinking, Well maybe I’m not in the right party then.”

“Today’s Republican Party has chosen a dark path I cannot take,” Jennings said at a Democratic fundraising dinner over the weekend, where he officially made the announcement that he was switching parties.

Let me introduce you to my husband-wife.

A couple of months ago, I got married. It was, in many ways, traditional — I wore an elaborate white dress; my beloved, a tailored suit. I tossed my bouquet. In other ways, it was not — we walked each other down the aisle, hand in hand. After we exchanged our vows and made out before our community, the officiant (a friend who had become an ordained minister via the Internet) gazed down upon us. “I now pronounce you … married!”

We were never going to be pronounced ”man and wife,” my partner and I — firstly, because it’s gross and archaic, and secondly, because my brand-new spouse is not a man.

She looks like a man, though. Much more than she resembles a woman. She’s lanky and lean. Wears button-down shirts and dress pants she buys online from Topman , a U.K.-based retailer that sells menswear in XS. Her hair looks like a Pomade advertisement from the 1950s, so short the nape of her neck feels like velvet after a salon visit, the sharpest, straightest side part painstakingly combed into the shine of it.

And speaking of advertisements, my former fiancée did a wee bit of modeling, for a website that focuses on the style and fashion of women like herself — masculine, to put it simply, or what was once called butch, a word that can feel a little 1990s, if not 1960s. To get radical academia about it, she’s genderqueer, or gender-variant, or gender-nonconforming, all of which fall into the roomy transgender basket. The photos were so hot that they wound up in the wedding section of the New York Times.

My partner is not a man — she doesn’t wonder whether she should begin a course of testosterone, as many of our friends have done. That’s not her path. She does go by a male name, preferring it to the female one she grew up with. She doesn’t ask people to call her ”he” — though if you do so by mistake, she doesn’t mind. In most all ways cultural and social, my partner is a boy. It’s just that she’s a girl.
