Sometimes, when you’re having a really bad day, a phone call from someone you love (while out on the lawn) and a cup of coffee can make all the difference in the world. <3

"Humidity levels will drop below 15 percent by late morning, then between 5 and 10 percent much of the afternoon and early evening, they said. A strong Pacific storm system off the northern California coast tonight will move inland today, forecasters. The storm will bring gusty winds through the evening across western portions of southern Nevada, with the strong winds developing over much of southern Nevada and northwest Arizona by this afternoon, the weather service said." - Jenny H - -

A Gem City Atlas: Novel maps of Laramie, Wyoming - http://www.hcn.org/issues...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"What is Laramie? This winter, creative writing graduate students at the University of Wyoming teamed with Infinite City: A San Francisco Atlas author Rebecca Solnit and cartographers Ben Pease and Shizue Seigel to answer that question. The series of maps and essays that resulted provide a nuanced portrait of place -- one that pairs missile silos with beetle kill, ghosts with cottonwoods, the wild West with its longstanding Asian influences. Beneath that, says the project's lead professor Alyson Hagy, lies a deepened sense of community that developed through an ever-widening net of collaboration, which drew in locals, artists, and other university departments and public institutions. Any community could undertake such an effort to endlessly re-imagine itself, Hagy adds: When people see Laramie: A Gem City Atlas -- on display at the UW Art Museum through June 18 -- "their first response is, 'I would map this,' or 'I would map that.'

Conservation, Farming Groups Launch Lawsuit Seeking Emergency Action to Protect Bats From Deadly Disease - http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/news...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"Since its discovery in February 2006 in upstate New York, the fungus causing white-nose syndrome has spread to at least 19 states and four Canadian provinces and has killed more than a million bats. “White-nose syndrome is a runaway train that's devastating bat populations across the Northeast and rapidly spreading west,” said Mollie Matteson, a conservation advocate for the Center. “It’s barreling down the tracks wiping out bats, and while we don’t know how to stop it yet, we should at least use the brakes we’ve got — and fast. Those brakes are cave and mine closures.” The Center and its allies sent today’s notice to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Defense Secretary Robert Gates. The notice called on the secretaries to respond immediately to a federal petition filed in January 2010 by the Center requesting several actions to slow the potential spread, by people, of the bat disease. Specifically, the groups seek emergency restrictions on human access into caves and mines on federal lands; rules against activities that spread the disease and harm endangered bats; and the designation of all caves on federal lands as “significant” under a national cave-protection law." - Jenny H - -

"RICHMOND, Vt.— A dozen conservation, organic agriculture, anti-pesticide and other groups formally notified the Obama administration that they will take legal action in 30 days if federal agencies do not act to immediately close caves and take other emergency steps on federal lands to protect bats from a new wildlife epidemic known as white-nose syndrome. The Center for Biological Diversity, which spearheaded the legal effort, also unveiled a new national campaign today to bring greater public awareness to the plight of bats dying from the fast-moving, lethal fungal infection." - Jenny H - -

Speaking of gynandromorphs... - Jenny H - -

6 other comments...

From the livescience.com article on this: "For many animals, sex is determined by two chromosomes, called sex chromosomes. Among humans, for example, men have an X and a Y chromosome, while women have two Xs. Every cell in your body, except for sperm or egg cells, carries two sex chromosomes. But among mammals, like us, the Y chromosome carries a gene responsible for the development of testes, which release hormones that promote the development of male features. In women, the ovaries release different hormones that promote the traits we associate with being a female. The hormones are key to sex identity in humans and other mammals. In fact the dominant hormones can overwrite an abnormality in the sex chromosomes — that is one reason we don't see gynandromorph humans. (Because of the influence of hormones, which diffuse throughout the body, one human can't end up with distinct male and female halves. A number of other disorders in sexual development can occur among humans, such as when external and internal sex organs don't match up or when someone possesses both male and female genitalia.)

Hay Festival 2011: short story by David Sedaris - 'I’m actually more of a barfly' - Telegraph - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture...

"“Do you?” the male said. He had no idea what a lieutenant governor was, but out of politeness he made himself sound interested, the way he did when someone spoke about computers or yoga. “Oh yes,” said the female. “Why, I was practically raised at Old Stoney, which is what they call their summer home on the lake. The lieutenant governor’s wife – Khaki, to her friends — is two months pregnant, though that’s strictly on the QT, at least until the formal announcement is made. “She suffers from the most terrible morning sickness, and her vomit is outstanding, better than normal spoiled food, in my opinion!” “You don’t say,” said the fly. “Her faeces were good as well, at least what I could get of them,” the female continued. “Like most people of good breeding, Khaki uses a toilet, but then some horrible journalist wrote that she’d had a cocaine problem in college, so she defecated into a shoebox. The plan was to mail it to him at the newspaper, and while she pieced together a note I swooped in for a quick taste.” “And?” “Excellent,” the female said. “The best faeces I’ve ever had. Almost like dessert.” The fly pointed in the direction of the departure board. “If it’s sweet you’re after, there’s a bit of jam smeared on that handrail over near the front door. I also saw a peach pit on the ground next to the trash can.” “I meant inherently sweet, spiritually sweet,” the female said. “It’s a quality the lieutenant governor’s wife has in spades. As has Monica Van Landingham.” The fly looked at her blankly." - Jenny H - -

"The fly was at the bus station when he saw a man in a sailor suit clutch his stomach. Then he leant forward in his plastic seat and vomited onto the scuffed linoleum floor. “Son of a bitch,” the man muttered, and he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. “I just paid $6 for that!” There was a bathroom next to the snack bar, and as the man rose unsteadily to his feet and stumbled in its direction, the people flanking him abandoned their seats, leaving a wide berth for what looked to be an excellent meal. The fly liked a hot lunch and was just tucking in when a second fly, this one a female, flew down from the ceiling and landed on a narrow peninsula beside him. “What have we got here?” she asked. “Chinese,” the male said. The female picked half-heartedly at a snow pea. “Ten will get you 20 it’s from the Shanghai Garden,” she told him. “I had their pork lo mein once and was in the rest room for two days.” “Well, I don’t mind it,” the male said, and he moved from a beef chunk to a sliver of ginger. “If you don’t like ethnic, there are some potato chips in here too. And a grilled cheese sandwich.” What kind of cheese?” the female asked. “If it’s American, you can have it.” “Suit yourself,” the male said. “By law, they shouldn’t even be calling it cheese, that’s how tasteless and full of chemicals it is.” The female glanced into a slick of digestive juices and saw her face multiplied a hundredfold, scowling back at her. “Anyway, when it comes to regurgitated food, you really need to consider the source — the class of person or dog or whatever. Take the lieutenant governor and his family, for example, whom I happen to know quite intimately.”" - Jenny H - -

Wounded Veterans Climb in Nepal | OutsideOnline.com - http://outsideonline.com/adventu...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"Beneath Baskis, several more climbers whose bodies had been battered by war were scattered on rope teams along the rock slabs. They'd had legs taken by explosions and crashes, brains rattled by bombs, and spirits hammered by loss and fear and the disorienting journey home from the battlefield. Those moments, the worst of their lives, had brought them here: working up the side of 20,075-foot Lobuche in Nepal's Himalayas, hours before dawn. For some it was their first trip to a foreign country not at war. They climbed alongside their expedition teammates—ten mountaineers who had scaled Everest in 2001, including Erik Weihenmayer, still the only blind person to summit that peak. Weihenmayer and his friends, many of whom had since become professional mountain guides, wanted to commemorate the climb. Leading ten injured veterans up Lobuche, in Everest's shadow, seemed an appropriate parallel. "An expedition has the ability to renew you, to renew your soul," Weihenmayer had told the veterans several days earlier in Kathmandu. "I've been on dozens and dozens of expeditions, and I've died and been reborn on every one." The two groups had far more in common than each had first imagined. U" - Jenny H - -
