Fans, friends and followers! I need your help!
I have the opportunity to represent Minneapolis in IGC 2016, but only if YOU make it happen.
Follow the link to the emazing blog, and pls, give my friend @theoutlaw_mike a vote too. He is right above me on the board.

He’s got my vote. Josh is an awesome person and has been nothing but smiles, good times every time I’ve had the honor of chilling with him. Also from what I remember he doesn’t like shoes.
This is the American Gothic. If you’ve never been to the USA, this image sums it up pretty well.
I had to find out where this really was because looking at it, I felt like I knew exactly where it was. It turns out it’s in Breezewood, PA, and i have never been there, which only serves to highlight the OP’s point.
This is all it is. It’s not even really a town. It’s a meeting point of about 4 major highways, including the PA turnpike. In fact, not 10 minutes away from this town, there are abandoned turnpike tunnels left over from the original PA turnpike that run under the mountains. Can you dig em?

Astronomers have pinpointed where and when the most recent stellar explosions near Earth occurred, showing they could have impacted the development of life on our planet
The closest supernovas to Earth may have blasted the planet with enough radiation to influence human evolution, researchers say.
Supernovas are the most powerful star explosions. These outbursts from enormous dying stars are visible all the way to the edge of the cosmos, and are bright enough to briefly outshine all of the stars in their host galaxies.
For more than 50 years, scientists have suggested that nearby stellar fireworks could have influenced life on Earth by disrupting global climate and even triggering mass extinctions. Previous research calculated that supernovas occurring within about 325 light-years of Earth, which are expected about once every 2 million to 4 million years, could deposit radioactive debris on this planet. (For perspective, the sun’s closest stellar neighbor lies about 4.3 light-years away.) [Supernova Photos: Great Images of Star Explosions]
In 1999, researchers discovered significant levels of a mildly radioactive variety of iron known as iron-60 in deep-ocean rocks, indicating that supernovas have indeed sprayed Earth with radioactive material. Supernovas generate huge amounts of iron-60, whereas other natural ways of creating iron-60 produce only up to one-tenth as much.
Previous research suggested that the effects of high-energy particles from supernovas that explode within about 30 to 45 light-years of Earth would be catastrophic for life on the planet. However, prior work also estimated that explosions close enough to cause mass extinctions were very rare, “on the order of one every few billion years,” study co-author Anton Wallner, a nuclear physicist at Australian National University in Canberra, told Space.com.
Now, researchers have pinpointed when and where the most recent supernovas closest to Earth might have occurred, and found that they happened recently enough to potentially influence human evolution.
Scientists investigated the origins of the “Local Bubble,” the region of the Milky Way in which Earth’s solar system is embedded. The Local Bubble—which measures about 600 by 600 by 1,200 light-years—is faintly lit by X-rays from hot plasma up to 1.8 million degrees Fahrenheit (1 million degrees Celsius), which likely came from a series of supernovas, said study lead author Dieter Breitschwerdt, an astrophysicist at the Berlin Institute of Technology.

The researchers focused on the origin of iron-60 in deep-sea rock that likely came from one or more supernovas 195 to 425 light-years from Earth about 2.2 million years ago.
“We can do a sort of galactic archaeology—like terrestrial archaeologists, we dig somewhere for traces of past events,” Breitschwerdt told Space.com.
Using supercomputer models to calculate the likely masses of the dying stars and the complex trajectories this radioactive matter took, study team members were able to pinpoint the most probable times and sites of the explosions—two supernovas between about 290 and 325 light-years from the sun.
“Running several models took us about three to four years in total,” Breitschwerdt said.
Breitschwerdt and his colleagues estimated that the closer of these two supernovas originated from a star with a mass about 9.2 times that of the sun and happened about 2.3 million years ago. The other supernova originated from a star with a mass about 8.8 times that of the sun and occurred about 1.5 million years ago. (In comparison, the oldest known member of the genus Homo—which includes modern humans, Homo sapiens—dates back to about 2.8 million years ago.)
These explosions were two of the 14 to 20 supernovas that supplied the hot plasma making up the Local Bubble, researchers said. The other supernovas likely showered iron-60 onto Earth as well, albeit to a smaller extent because they happened farther away and longer ago.
In a separate new study, Wallner and his colleagues focused on deep-sea rock from the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans that had iron-60 levels about 40 times greater than average. Detecting this iron-60 was difficult—at best, “this extraterrestrial radioactive iron-60 is a million billion times less abundant in our samples than terrestrial stable iron,” said Wallner, who led this second study. “We need extremely sensitive single-atom counting techniques to identify these iron-60 atoms,” he said.
The researchers found that this radioactive debris was carried to Earth within interstellar dust grains in two relatively recent events—one 1.5 million to 3.2 million years ago, and the other 6.5 million to 8.7 million years ago. They suggested that these supernovas were less than 300 light-years away, close enough to be visible during the day and comparable to the brightness of the moon. This iron-60 may have come from supernovas that directly sprayed the solar system, but it’s also possible that the solar system passed through interstellar clouds polluted with the remnants of multiple supernovas, researchers said.
Although Wallner noted that the supernovas he and his colleagues investigated probably would not have been close enough to Earth to cause mass extinctions, he said that radiation from these explosions might have influenced the planet’s climate. For instance, he noted that the older event they discovered coincided with temperature changes about 8 million years ago during the late Miocene epoch, when global changes in Earth’s fauna occurred. In addition, the more recent event happened at about the same time that Earth began getting colder, near the end of the Pliocene epoch, about 3 million years ago—a climatic shift that might have helped spur the rise of the human lineage.
Moreover, Breitschwerdt noted that radiation from these explosions also might have triggered mutations in life-forms on Earth. “It might be possible that an increased rate of mutations directly influenced evolution—for example, increase in brain size,” Breitschwerdt said.
In the future, Wallner and his colleagues will try to pinpoint exactly when supernova iron-60 fell onto Earth, to get a better idea of whether it might have influenced life here, Wallner said.
The scientists detailed their findings in two separate papers in the April 7 issue of the journal Nature.

no one coulda reblogged this a month ago when i spent 500
Look at KB coming through
Every time you see this, reblog it. There is always someone in college that will see this.
I, for one, like Roman numerals.
Bro this isn’t a bad joke it’s really well thought out
ATTENTION FOR A SECOND, YO: Real talk, this animal (the Ordovician Helmet crab, aka the Horseshoe crab, aka the Atlantic’s most at-risk shelled animal) is of a species that is close to 450 million years old. They are considered endangered, and often wash up on the shores of Long Island (this big lady crab was at TR park in Oyster Bay) Note: these animals are often used to extract their blue blood and cure diseases. They help the ocean out big time. And they are one of the longest-surviving species on the planet. They’re washing up and people don’t think to/are scared to save them because of their deceivingly harmless barbs. Take note, friends. Their barbs are NOT stingers. They cannot hurt you. Their pinchers aren’t pinchers, they’re just little legs that are actually really soft! The barb tail they have is actually what they use to stick into the ocean floor or the sand when waves knock them over or they flip onto their backs by accident. And you can help them out by flipping them back over very quickly and helping them scuttle back into the water if you see them struggling. This is way important. Just call me the Sarah McLachlan of horseshoe crabs.
Hey everyone, as someone who grew up with horseshoe crabs literally everywhere I’d like to bring your attention to these fine, prehistoric bottom-feeders. Growing up in Gerritsen Beach (In Brooklyn, NY) meant seeing dozens upon dozens of horseshoe crabs trapped in fishing lines and shredded sandbags, stuck above the high-tide marks during low tide, and sometimes washed up on the rocks. Which led to probably hundreds of hours cutting them loose every summer during the mating seasons. Horseshoe crabs are 10000% harmless to you and can be easily handled (just don’t dangle them from their tails (known as a telson); that’s painful and you may accidentally rip the tail off and they’ll have to wait until their next molt to grow a new one!).
If you see a horseshoe crab on the beach, gently nudge it with your foot. Most of them will respond by waving their telson around. If it doesn’t respond, flip it over to check for moving limbs. If you suspect it is tangled and can’t move and you can’t bring it straight to the water because of this get a bucket of sea water and slowly pour it over the book gills and legs. As you work to untangle these rad critters, which are actually more closely related to spiders than crabs, pour more water over it periodically until you can return it to the ocean. However, during the mating season horseshoe crabs will attach together, with the large female toting around a smaller male behind her, and bury themselves in sand and mud to lay their eggs. Do not dig up these horseshoe crabs unless you are absolutely sure that they are stuck above the high tide mark. If you see dozens of beached horseshoe crabs but none of them are clinging together and the tide is going out, please do your part and turn them back in the direction of the water. Place them at the water’s edge and let them decide which direction they want to go in to be absolutely sure that they aren’t stranded accidentally.
Horseshoe crabs cannot bite you, and their “pincers” are really just for picking up food and don’t hurt if they try to grab you. They may be a little intimidating-looking but they are harmless and will be grateful for your help.
Just look at all those friendly legs waiting to tickle you in thanks for helping them not die a slow death of baking in the sun and getting eaten by gulls and other sea birds!
Please, protect our bottom feeding horseshoe crabs at all costs. Yes their blood has important medicinal value, being copper-based unlike our iron-based blood, but overharvesting them can have devastating effects on our underwater ecosystems. When being harvested for blood they should actually be returned to the ocean after taking a little, rather than bled dry
PLEASE ALSO KNOW THAT IT’S ACTUALLY A REALLY BIG DEAL IF A HORSESHOE CRAB’S TELSON IS RIPPED OFF AND THEY WILL MOST LIKELY DIE IF THAT HAPPENS!!! SO PLEASE NEVER GRAB ANYWHERE NEAR THERE IF YOU’RE TRYING TO RETURN THEM TO THE SEA. Please help the horseshoe crab at all costs
Holy crap I didn’t know they were endangered growing up in Florida you uses to literally see 100 during mateing season
