So I'm working on a project at work that is a redesign on a handbook for a group that is called the Master Gardeners. I'm working on the handbook for the Alabama chapter. In this handbook is everything anyone could possibly would want to know about plants and gardening. It has about 16 chapters with different authors for each chapter. Now the process is a tedious one. The author send the content to the editor, when the editor is done the content goes to the designer (me), then I place the text, images, etc. in the template. Then the chapter goes back to the editor and from the editor back to me if there is anything else that needs to be changed, and then once it is all done to a finishing point it goes back to the author for review. then The author decides if there needs to be any more changes. Then the whole process starts over again. Now that can be frustrating at times esp. when the design has been all fine tuned and more content has to be placed in the chapter. Then more adjustments have to be made to ensure that everything looks well. But this doesn't frustrate me nearly as much as when some idiot author that knows nothing about images sends us a microsoft word file as the image. Nope that doesn't work. Image files that are to be printed need to be in preferably Tiff, eps or jpeg. Even Biitmaps or giffs work depending on what type of look you are going for, but for Christ's sake! a doc file with the image inside it?!?!?!?! It's a word doc with an image inside it, not an image file!!
Fetus in fetu (or Foetus in foetu) describes an extremely rare abnormality that involves a fetus getting trapped inside of its twin. It continues to survive as a parasite even past birth by forming an umbilical cord-like structure that leeches its twin's blood supply until it grows so large that it starts to harm the host, at which point doctors usually intervene. [1] Invariably the parasitic fetus is anencephalic (without a brain) and lacks internal organs, and as such is unable to survive on its own, though it may have almost human (albeit underdeveloped and bizarre) features such as limbs, digits, hair, nails and teeth. Fetus in fetu is such a rare condition that only some 91 cases worldwide have ever been reported. Fetus in fetu happens very early in a twin pregnancy, when one fetus wraps around and envelops the other. The dominant fetus grows, while the fetus that would have been its twin lives on throughout the pregnancy, feeding off its host twin like a kind of parasite. Usually, both twins die before birth from the strain of sharing a placenta. Sometimes, however, the host twin survives and is delivered.
An acardiac twin, also called the TRAP sequence, is a parasitic twin that fails to develop a head, arms and a heart. The resulting torso survives by leeching blood flow from the surviving normal twin by means of an umbilical cord-like structure, much like a fetus in fetu, except the acardiac twin is not enveloped inside the normal twin's body. Because it is pumping blood for both itself and its acardiac twin, this causes extreme stress on the normal fetus's heart. This twinning condition usually occurs very early in pregnancy.
Without intervention, the normal fetus is only expected to have a 20% or less chance of survival. Fetal surgery to cut off the blood supply to the parasite can greatly increase the chance of survival for the normal fetus, but carries some risk of miscarriage or other complications
I thank The Damned for writing this song. an ode to those actors that played parts so well in classic horror that have rendered them as forever immortal in the ranks of horror history.
The Beauty of the Beast Flickering, the shadows fall across my eyes Across the walls Time engulfs me once more I'm in the place and I'm enthralled This mists that creep, the hound that howls The lightning illuminates the towers Is it only I can see The beauty of the beast? (Your magic never ceased) With quickening pulse what lies behind the door A curious step retreats once more The creature with a darkened soul A story of the Damned unfolds Bela, Boris, Basil, Lon, Lorre, Vincent, now all gone Looming pallid on the screen The beauty of the beast Your magic never ceased And now though a curtain has been drawn You go on forever as before...
I highly suggest anyone to try and find this song. it is such a lovely piano piece.
Since yesterday there have been poeple in my new workplace that are painting the walls etc. Mostly when you think of painters your really don't think them to be engaging people and perhaps rather crude. Well one of the painters that have been working here is this great outgoing guy. Always happy to be here, working dilligently and always with a smile. he also says good morning to everyone and is very pleasant to talk to. His personality is very much an upper in the workplace here.
On my way to work this morning I headed down 85 to glorious ol' Auburn. The temp is 46 degrees F, the sun is shining, there's not a cloud in the sky over all nice morning. While speeding like I usually do, Heidi (my car) still performing well, I see a fog bank pop up out of nowhere. Just a wall of fog appears on me fast. And if that wasn't strange enough the fog was red! So what does my bizzar mind do, goes right into thought mode.
"Red fog??!!! where is this going to take me to? Am I going to enter in from Alabama just to end up on the other side of the world, or in some distant time, in some distant reaches of the galaxy, or in another galaxy? How about parallel dimensions? Maybe I'll be taken to the plane of existance where the gods of old chill out."
Yeah, my mind goes on like this until I exit the fog bank and there is the familiar boring bit of highway that I transverse everyday to work. so much for the mystical nature of red fog.
ok so I'm usually not one to make waves about things or comment about politics, but i'm encouraging anyone and everyone to veiw this. it is about an hour and a half of your time that parallels the propaganda of the Nazi's to the propaganda of the Islamic extremists. Most of this is footage we do not see in the media. Kinda interesting
So I leave you all a little song by Gnarls Barkley. A song to keep in your head for when life gets you down.
Smiley Faces
What did do what did you say Oh did you walk or did you run away Where are you know Where have you been Did you go alone or did you find a friend
I need to know this Coz I noticed I’m just smiling How can the sun Have any fun Feeling free
And I can tell you know how hard this life can be But you keep on smiling for me
So what went right What went wrong Was it a story or was it a song Was it over night Or did it take you long Was knowing your weakness what made you strong
For all the above Oh how I love to see you smiling An oh yeah Take a little pain just incase
You need something want to embrace To help you put on a smiley face Face Smiley face
Don’t you go off into the new day without getting down Here’s a summary of something you can smile about Say for instance my girlfriend she, bugs me all the time But the irony of it all is that she loves me all the time Oh see
I believe Whenever I see you smiling Coz excuse me One of the hardest things to do Your worries and fears become your friends And they end up smiling at you
Dream alert. Yep it's a strange one, go figure. I don't think a random "normal" dream would be worth posting. Anywho to the dream.
So there I am working for some government space program (or just some space program) that isn't NASA and I get chosen for this new experimental that either bends time or bends space for travel. So I end up in the universe somewhere in the distanct future and in another galaxy or someplace far from earth. A group of travelers, that have all the same charcteristics as humans, pick up in thier vessel due to mine being nonfunctional for some reason. We travel for awhile as I tell them about myself, earth, and my journey here and I get to know the crew and become accepted into thier group. After a few days or weeks we come across another standed ship. we board the vessel and check it out. The ship over all seems to be derelict until we find a women on board. The environment is stable and just about all the lights are off, there is a blue tone due to lack of light everywhere. I check the place out and find many things that I recognize as items that are used on earth, but some of them are a little more advanced. Come to find out it is a US spacecraft and the woman, who looks older than me, was born like 30 or 40 years after me. We get supplies from the ship and take her on board and leave the ship. She said she was traveling with her father but he had died for some reason. Off we go into a new adventure.
Maybe I'll have a dream with all the crew and new adventures.
and since I'm on the topic of music I've been listening to She Wants Revenge lately and I've been enjoying their album. Great stuff. so I leave you with a song from them.
There is nothing to see here people keep moving on Slowly their necks turn and then they're gone No one cares when the show is done
Standing in line and its cold and you want to go Remember a joke so you turn around There is no one to listen so you laugh by yourself
[Chorus:] I heard it's cold out, but her popsicle melts She's in the bathroom, she pleasures herself Says I'm a bad man, she's locking me out It's cause of these things, it's cause of these things
Let's make a fast plan, watch it burn to the ground I try to whisper, so no one figures it out I'm not a bad man, I'm just overwhelmed It's cause of these things, it's cause of these things
The crowd on the street walks slowly, don't mind the rain Lovers hold hands to numb the pain, Gripping tightly to something that they will never own
And those by themselves by choice or by some reward No mistakes only now you're bored This is the time of your life but you just can't tell
Overall they have a Joy Division/Depeche Mode sound.
Ok, put the media player on random and enter lyrics from the first 20 songs. Then, you guys answer the ones you know (dont google them). Reply with all the lyrics you know and later I will post the answers.
1. There is no end to this, I have seen your face, But I don't recognize all these things, You must have kept behind 2. Moon rise, thoughtful eyes,Staring back at me from the window beside, No fright or hindsight, Leaving behind that empty feeling inside 3. Dead I am the pool, spreading from the fool, Weak and want you need, nowhere as you bleed 4. guides me safely in worlds i’ve never been to heal me, heal me, 5. If you expect the freedom, That you say is yours, Prove that you deserve it, Help us to preserve it 6. So many fish there in the sea, I wanted you, you wanted me, That's just a phase, it's got to pass,I was a train moving too fast 7. It's hard to call this home, I'm more that just alone, Have I been passed by and left behind again 8. The wild and windy night, That the rain washed away, Has left a pool of tears, Crying for the day 9. You've torn your dress, your face is a mess, You can't get enough, but enough ain't the test 10. Passion choke the flower, 'Til she cries no more, Possessing all the beauty, Hungry still for more 11. Stare At Me With Empty Eyes And , Point Your Words At Me 12. I want a little bit I want a piece of it I think hes losing it I want to watch it come down 13. If you've studied your Floyd property, you'd know that pigs could fly 14. I charm you and tell you of the boys I hate ,All the girls I hate, All the words I hate, All the clothes I hate, How I'll never be anything I hate 15. The world has a way of looking at people, Sometimes it seems that the world is wrong 16. Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain 17. Carve your name into my arm Instead of stressed I lie here charmed. 18. this is the voice of our past, turning the tide of our lives, these are the tears that we cry, with my tongue I touch your mind 19. Come, Pull my strings, Watch me move, I do anything, Please 20. I called you after midnight, Then ran until my heart burst

Since Mother's day is this weekend I must let every one know you should be kind to your mother for all she has done for you. I will let the Decemberists take you away with a little song about dear ol' mother and why we should be kind.
So I wake up this morning and find some lumps on my stomach and become rather disturbed. What are they doing there? How will this affect me? What is happening to me? Then I realize that those are just my abs. Working out is actually a success for me! ^_^
