every girl that dreams of dating a bearded uptown hipster with a bike
Date: 2010-02-12, 4:05AM CST
let me just remind you that when you take away the fixed-gear bike, the messenger bag, the scarf that's worn year-round, the ironic t-shirt, the dumb shoes, the pbr, the tattoos, plugs, and the stupid beard, we all look the same.
so, are you really in love with a guy or his accessories? or is it that you're in love with the whimsical idea of an urban lumberjack type who will go on "adventures" with you, meanwhile being perfectly content with doing what every other human being our age does: drinking and fucking?
also, tell me about the last black guy you dated. what's that? you can't? cause every fucking uptown hipster is a white boy from the suburbs.
the uptown wannabes from the suburbs grow up idolizing the current inhabitants. when they're old enough, they move there, grow beards and do the stupid shit that kids do (eg. drink). what's ironic is that this new generation then grows up and becomes the new kids to be idolized by the new uptown wannabes from the suburbs. it's an endless cycle of superficiality, facades, and stupid kids seeking affirmation from their peers.
the truth is, NONE OF YOU ARE COOL!
i wish i could be there, 20 years from now, when you look back at pictures of yourselves from today. it's like explaining zubas in the 90s to someone today.

all kinds of love in america and africa
It’s argued that as the Ugandan army withdrew from DRC after George Bush insisted so in 2001 and indeed Clinton’s Albright Magdalene had regretted for branding Museveni, Kagame and Afewerki, ‘the become of Africa’, Ugandan forces now moved into Sudan with a lot of business urge, picked from DRC. UPDF had been condemned internationally for indulging in plundering the mineral wealth of DRC.
...and that's a halfway-edited passage.

from redorbit.com: human extinction
Scientist Predicts Human Extinction In 100 Years
Posted on: Thursday, 17 June 2010, 15:25 CDT
A professor of microbiology believes that humans will be wiped out in a few decades.
Frank Fenner, professor at the Australian National University and the man who helped eradicate smallpox, told The Australian newspaper this week that "Homo sapiens will become extinct, perhaps within 100 years."
"A lot of other animals will, too. It's an irreversible situation. I think it's too late. I try not to express that because people are trying to do something, but they keep putting it off."
Fenner played a leading role in helping the variola virus that causes smallpox find extinction. He has also received many awards and honors, as well as published hundreds of scientific papers and written or co-written 22 books.
Fenner says the real trouble is the population explosion and "unbridled consumption."
According to the U.N., the number of Homo sapiens is projected to exceed 6.9 billion this year. Fenner is pessimistic about the outcome of cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
"We'll undergo the same fate as the people on Easter Island," he says. "Climate change is just at the very beginning. But we're seeing remarkable changes in the weather already."
"The Aborigines showed that without science and the production of carbon dioxide and global warming, they could survive for 40,000 or 50,000 years. But the world can't. The human species is likely to go the same way as many of the species that we've seen disappear."
"Mitigation would slow things down a bit, but there are too many people here already."
Other scientists share his opinion as well.
Stephen Boyden, a colleague of Fenner and a long-time friend, says there is deep pessimism among some ecologists.
"Frank may be right, but some of us still harbor the hope that there will come about an awareness of the situation and, as a result, the revolutionary changes necessary to achieve ecological sustainability," Boyden, an immunologist who turned to human ecology later in his career, told The Australian.
"That's where Frank and I differ. We're both aware of the seriousness of the situation, but I don't accept that it's necessarily too late. While there's a glimmer of hope, it's worth working to solve the problem. We have the scientific knowledge to do it but we don't have the political will."
Fenner, who is now 95-years-old, will open the Healthy Climate, Planet and People symposium at the Australian Academy of Science next week, as part of the AAS Fenner conference series.
"As the population keeps growing to seven, eight or nine billion, there will be a lot more wars over food," he says.
"The grandchildren of today's generations will face a much more difficult world."

f.y.i.
A correspondent points out a case reported by The Journal of Clinical Toxicology where eight people snorted pure LSD Tartrate, beliving that it was cocaine. The amounts ingested was estimated to be from 1000 to 10000 times an ordinary dose. Half of them lapsed into comas, but all of them came out of it without any treatment. Some were given Valium for anxiety efterwards.
On the whole, it seems that LSD is about as safe as a drug can be, despite much propaganda saying otherwise

Compost for garden - $10 (Mercer, PA 16137)
Date: 2010-04-16, 4:40PM EDT
Reply to: see below
Compost for garden. Basically I've been feeding the cows in the pasture for the last 20 years or so and hay and manure has been piling up over that time where the feeders are.
This is broken down, nice and black compost. No odor.
Price: $10 per scoop. I have a 7 foot tractor bucket that is a little over 1 cu. yard. Scoops are weighing anywhere from 700-1000+ pounds depending on how much rain we have.
This is not a dinky little skidloader bucket - 2 scoops will almost fill an 8 foot truck bed....but watch your weight.
Loading most evenings and weekends. I'll make you a deal for a large dump truck or large trailer.

8-year-old hands out bags of heroin at school
Wednesday, April 14, 2010
Police in Wilkinsburg have confiscated what they suspect were 50 to 60 small bags of drugs from a third-grade student who was passing them out at his school.
Police suspect the substance the 8-year-old boy was handing out Tuesday at Turner Elementary School was heroin.
Officials say the bags had the words "trust me" stamped on them and would have a street value of about $1,000 if tests conclude they contained heroin.
Wilkinsburg School District officials sent home a letter to parents advising them to discuss the matter with their children.
Police say the investigation is continuing.

road (bike) trip anyone?
20-30 vintage road bikes~ $15-$50 (North Hills)

Yes I saw the show hoarders and this is part of the intervention known as "letting go."
I have way way too many bikes and I realize that I will NEVER be able to spruce up each and every one.
These bikes are not a goldmine of Campy powered Italian gems. These are the pothole bombers that you don't have to write volumes of poetry in lament when the crack-head steals it. These are thrift store priced multiple speed road bikes. There are more step through frames so they will be cheaper.
I am between Rt 8 and North Park in an area outside of the bus line. Bring your friends because more bikes means a lower per-bike price.
Please limit your inquiries to the simple where and when. Phone numbers make things happen much quicker. There is no way I can give details on 30 bikes so please if you are interested plan a trip.
If you want ALL of them and there are more then what is pictured bring a truck and $800 cash and I will hook you UP. I will throw in a bunch of lugged framesets. You will easily have over 40 bikes to tinker with.

Gushing Slate Review of New Newsom.
"It feels odd to praise a three-disc album for its moderation, but Have One on Me deserves it. Newsom has drawn down her whimsy offensive so that her singing retains its idiosyncrasy with none of the mannered ululations and chafing preciousness. Her voice sounds smokier here and is softened throughout with reverb, so that she sounds like a person in a place, not a pixie in our ears. Ralph Wiggum hardly makes an appearance, and in his stead, Newsom evokes singers with a talent for mingling the ethereal and the earthbound."

Midway
Message from the Gyre
These photographs of albatross chicks were made in September, 2009, on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking.
To document this phenomenon as faithfully as possible, not a single piece of plastic in any of these photographs was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. These images depict the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world's most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent.

Cleopatra's eye make-up 'had health benefits'
 Cleopatra, as famously portrayed by Elizabeth Taylor |
The heavy eye make-up favoured by ancient Egyptians such as Cleopatra may have had medical as well as aesthetic benefits, French research suggests.
The study, published in the journal Analytical Chemistry, suggests it helped to protect against eye disease. The key appears to be lead salts contained in the make-up.
At very low levels, salts produce nitric oxide, which boosts the immune system to fight off bacteria which can cause eye infection.
The make-up used by the ancient Egyptians to darken and enhance the eyes sometimes took up to a month to concoct.
In theory, because it contained lead it might actually have posed a risk to health.
But an analysis by scientists from the Louvre Museum and the CNRS research institute found that in very low doses lead could actually have a positive effect.
Lead researcher Philippe Walter said: "We knew ancients Greeks and Romans too had noted the make-up had medicinal properties, but wanted to determine exactly how."
The researchers used a tiny electrode, 1/10th the thickness of a human hair, to look at the effect of lead chloride salt synthesised by the Egyptians - laurionite - on a single cell.
Writing in the journal, they said: "In stimulating nonspecific immunological defences, one may argue that these lead compounds were deliberately manufactured and used in ancient Egyptian formulations to prevent and treat eye illnesses by promoting the action of immune cells."
