USA TODAY - FEB 21 - As climate change warms the nation, giant Burmese pythons could colonize one-third of the USA, from San Francisco across the Southwest, Texas and the South and up north along the Virginia coast, according to U.S. Geological Survey maps released Wednesday.

Burmese pythons, which can be 20 feet long and weigh 250 pounds, could colonize a third of the U.S. as global warming makes the climate more habitable for them, a study found. The non-poisonous snakes came to the U.S. as part of the pet trade and began appearing in the wild in the mid-1990s as owners released them. They are legal to keep.
The pythons can be 20 feet long and 250 pounds. They are highly adaptable to new environments. Click below for the full story...

Saved By the Bell...

Meaning: "Saved by a last minute intervention."

Origin
This is boxing slang that came into being in the latter half of the 19th century. A boxer who is in danger of losing a bout can be 'saved' from defeat by the bell that marks the end of a round. The earliest reference to this that I can find is in the Massachusetts newspaper The Fitchburg Daily Sentinel, February 1893:

"Martin Flaherty defeated Bobby Burns in 32 rounds by a complete knockout. Half a dozen times Flaherty was saved by the bell in the earlier rounds."

There is a widespread notion that the phrase is from the 17th century and that it describes people being saved from being buried alive by using a coffin with a bell attached. The idea being that, if they were buried but later revived, they could ring the bell and be saved from an unpleasant death. The idea is certainly plausible as the fear of burial alive was and is real.

An Apple a day...

I did what many have already done ... about a month ago.. I dropped my other service provider... which was excellent I might add "It's the network" .. and I caved in to technology. I purchased the iPhone after reading review after review about spotty calls...problems.. bugs that needed to be fixed.. (as you can see I waited this long to even consider it) hoping bugs would be fixed...and my verdict is...I love it. It is the greatest thing for me since sliced bread.. I have had absolutley no problems at all (knock on wood) and I hate to say this.. but I think I am attracted to Mac computers now as well..I have been a PC guy my whole life...and here I am... desperatley trying to save an extra dollar to buy a MacBook Pro... So if you are skeptical dont be.... One complaint that is actually not that important is being unable to send picture messages... and it has no zoom feature.. but whatever.. I have a camera for that anyway. A+ For Apple.

Throw in the Towel...

This makes me want to quit music all together... :)

So True..

As a member of the service industry (A Sever) at a resturant we will leave anonymous.. I found this quote which was funny upon reading.. but it led me to a situation i found to be so true..

"The only thing worse than standing next to your waiter at the urinal is standing next to your waitress at the urinal."
-Chris Richman

Thanks Chris Richman.. whoever you are... because... in all honesty I do get weirded out when I am urniating or even coming out of a stall during a shift and am greeted so awkwardly by one of the men sitting at the table I am currently waiting on...its a very strange encounter with levels of silence that can and have ranked among those with elevator silence.. which I will get into in another post..but it really leaves you with nothing to say.. except "I'll see you shortly" ...Or "are you all almost ready to order" ... or "can I get you another beverage" that may be crossing the line a bit... usually I stick with .. "Oh hello there sir".. I'll improvise from there..

Guitar Hero....

This will probably be the first of many future postings and videos of Mayer... but as a guitarist... I have stood by this proclaimation time and time again...He is this generation's SRV and Hendrix... Now I know many will combat that with MUCH DISAGREEMENT.. however.. I honestly believe for a 30 year old man to produce the types of melodies...chords...progressions..tones.. and overall style..fueled by emotion... well I dont think he can be touched.. and I think in 30 years when he's 60 .. that he will be another hero viewed by children as hendrix and SRV and Clapton are and were.. I look at him in that same class already..

Pay attention to the video from 5.50 min... onward... tell me you aren't moved (at least a little for those that hate)

Crash-O-Casters...

These may be old news but still... they are way too cool to forget about...Fender Custom Shop and NYC Artist "Crash" - These Strat's are bonafide badass...

NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM

Which in Latin translates to "A New Order has Begun" ....

I haven't blogged for a while and I am glad that I am back... and as yesterday was President's Day and all... i found some interesting information that I couldn't help but share, given both the nature of the subject and the fact that I dont think many people actually know this stuff.... The dollar bill has some pretty cool stuff hidden on the back... SO GET OUT A DOLLAR BILL AND CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF..

Here's what I discovered...

If you look at the left hand circle, you will see a Pyramid. Notice the face is lighted and the western side is dark. This country was just beginning. We had not begun to explore the West or decided what we could do for Western Civilization.
The Pyramid is un-capped, again signifying that we were not even close to being finished. Inside the capstone you have the all-seeing eye, and ancient symbol for divinity. It was Franklin's belief that one man couldn't do it alone, but a group of men, with the help of God, could do anything. "IN GOD WE TRUST" is on this currency. The Latin above the pyramid, ANNUIT COEPTIS, means "God has favored our undertaking." The Latin below the pyramid, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, means "a new order has begun." At the base of the pyramid is the Roman Numeral for 1776...

Notice what the Eagle holds in his talons. He holds an olive branch and arrows. This country wants peace, but we will never be afraid to fight to preserve peace. The Eagle always wants to face the olive branch, but in time of war, his gaze turns toward the arrows. They say that the number 13 is an unlucky number. This is almost a worldwide belief. You will usually never see a room numbered 13, or any hotels or motels with a 13th floor. But think about this: 13 original colonies, 13 signers of the Declaration of Independence, 13 stripes on our flag, 13 steps on the Pyramid, 13 letters in the Latin above, 13 letters in "E Pluribus Unum", 13 stars above the Eagle, 13 plumes of feathers on each span of the Eagle's wing, 13 bars on that shield, 13 leaves on the olive branch, 13 fruits, and if you look closely, 13 arrows. And for minorities: the 13th Amendment.

Some pretty cool tidbits...or so i thought...anyway definetley some more info via google to check out on the dollar dollar bill ya'll.
