GASP! Gulf Area Sea Paddlers

Did You Know...

The following is a series of articles posted weekly (or at least, a mild attempt is made to post weekly) under the subject title of "Did You Know..." to the GASP list which are not only intended for fun, but also to inform those who want to know about different topics of interest (such as marinelife, boat design, etc.) associated with sea kayaking in the Gulf of Mexico and area.

  1. Big Case of Bad Breath In Humpbacks
  2. Bottlenose Dolphins Are The Most Common Dolphin In The Gulf of Mexico
  3. In 1941, Only 14 to 16 Whooping Cranes Existed
  4. Helium Balloons and Marine Life Can Be a Deadly Combination

Did You Know...

that humback whales have been spotted off the coast of Florida and that some humpbacks breed in the Gulf of Mexico during the winter months? See:

Whales On The Net
Humpback Whales - Office of Protected Resources

And that one way the humpback is identified/located is because of a really bad case of bad breath. Or so it was thought until this scientist decided to take a closer look... or uhm, smell... (article by Dr. Tom Ford follows).

I was particularly interested in the following because, while on a recent whale watching tour, one of the members of the Whale Watch Team from the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History was on board our vessel to explain habits and environments with regards to whales and mentioned the case of the humpback's bad breath which could be detected before the whale was spotted ...

Subject: Bad Breath

In 1985 I began to wonder about the lousy breath in some humpback whales. At that time the off-hand official explanation was that the stench arose from food bits rotting in the baleen. That was very unlikely because the esophagus is isolated from the trachea in whales. There is no true oro-pharynx in whales. So the smell was coming from the blowhole and that meant the bronchial tree might be infected.

In my office, when I suspected a strep throat, it was routine to take a swab from the throat of the patient and test for the suspect bacteria. How do you do that for a whale ? Simple take the mountain to Mohammed.. I placed an agar plate on a bent coat hanger frame. Stuck the holder on a bamboo pole and put the plate over blowhole of the whale.

Whales cannot cough or sneeze, if they did they would likely drown. Instead of coughing whales rely on the explosive and volumetrically large tidal volume of their breaths to clear the bronchial tree. In effect each breath is a cough and the mist generated contains a true random sample of bacteria present in the lungs and bronchi.

The results from the first few smelly whales were negative nothing grew on the incubated plates. Finally one wonderful humpback (#385 Nevus) swam along the rail of the boat my son and I were on and coated my agar plate and arm with goop. The sample was sent to the lab with the unusal instructions to incubate the plate until something grew. Strongly pathogenic bacteria grow full colonies in 24 hours. Almost all pathogens show up in 48 hours. This wimpy bug took 240 hours to show up. It was a dark diptheroid bacteria with strict preference for blood agar.

To make a very long story short, the isolated organism was a previously undiscovered species of diptheroid that needs pressure to grow quickly. Dr. Linda Schlater of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service lab in Ames,Iowa called me one day to ask what she was doing "wrong" with the bug in her lab. She finally asked if there was a factor in the ocean environment that might affect both the whales and the bugs. It was a "EUREKA" moment. It had to be pressure! The effective pressure increases at one atmosphere for every 30 feet of depth. We quickly designed a modified 1950's pressure cooker from the kitchen and grew the samples in increasing steps of pressure until the cooker blew up.

The result of all of this is a non fatal form of diptheria in humpbacks. Humpbacks that dive too long and too deep develop diptheria and the pathognomonic bad breath of that disease. All of the whales found with bad breath were older than one and younger than three years. These are whales that are beginning to fend for themselves and are at the bottom of the social ladder.

Calves do not exhibit bad breath because they have no need to feed themselves and don't have to dive deeply. Adult whales have learned to assert themselves and elbow their way to the food. The whales with the greatest metabolic needs are nursing females. They are larger than males and will aggressively occupy preferred feeding areas. I define a preferred feeding area as rich in food and relatively shallow. Unaggressive whales are quickly driven off to less desirable feeding areas where food may be as plentiful but is found deeper. This means more work for the food but also means that the whale is under increased whole body pressure for longer periods of time. The bacteria will then grow more aggressively and cause diptheria. The disease causes an erosion of the mucosal lining of the trachea and the development of a pseudomembrane in the airway. The stench from the rotting tissues is the source of bad breath.

Fortunately the whale does not usually die from the episode. The whale probably feels poorly and tries to rest. That means spending long stretches of time at the surface. The effective pressure would then drop to one atmosphere and the bacteria could not grow at pathogenic rates. The disease triggers it's own cure.

Any questions? Please send me an email here at the "ASK" forum.

Did You Know....

that bottlenose dolphins usually live to about 25 years of age and some have lived into their late 40's. Age is estimated by examining a sliced section of a tooth and counting growth layers produced during the aging process.

Bottlenose dolphins are the most common dolphin species in the Gulf of Mexico and are estimated to number in the 35,000 to 45,000 range.

Bottlenose dolphins do not have olfactory nerves (as is the case in all toothed whales) which means they have no sense of smell. Dolphins do have taste buds. The skin of dolphins is sensitive to touch and the dolphin's sense of touch is well-developed. Dolphins can see quite well both in and out of the water.

Dolphins engage in types of "play" activities which can involve riding the bow or stern wake of boats, pressure waves of large whales, and ocean swells. A calf will ride in its mother's wake created when she is swimming. This helps the baby to swim and, therefore, enables both mother and calf to keep up with the pod. Dolphins may bear a calf every other year, and in the northern Gulf of Mexico, bottlenose dolphins give birth in the spring. Gestation period is about 12 months. Calves may be born either tail-first or head first and sometimes, there is an assisting dolphin referred to as the "auntie" dolphin (which can be male or female). The "auntie" dolphin is usually the only other dolphin which the mother will allow near her baby. The calf is usually 42 to 48 inches long and weighs 25 to 40 lbs. When a mother dolphin is angry with her calf, she will hold her misbehaving youngster on the bottom. A sort of "time out," one could guess.

Older dolphins as well as younger dolphins chase each other, toss seaweed to one another and carry objects around, often using the objects to interact with each other. Bottlenose dolphins have been observed working in groups to herd fish onto mud banks for an easy catch.

Dolphins can swim up to 40 km/hr.

It has been said that the dolphin has no known ememies among the marine dwellers. However, this is not correct as killer whales and sharks occasionally prey on bottlenose dolphins. Dolphins can be seen swimming and feeding with sharks which is contrary to the myth that if a dolphin is around, you won't see any sharks.

Did You Know...

that in 1941 the world's population of migrating whooping cranes fell to as few as 14 or 16? In 1937, the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge between Rockport and Seadrift, Texas, was established to protect the wintering grounds of the remaining whooping cranes. Today's "whoopers" at the refuge are descendants of those few. There are now 320 whooping cranes in the world, including those in captivity and 25 cranes in two wild populations other than those at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge (Grays Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Idaho and Kissimmee Prairie in Florida). In 1870, between 500 and 1,400 whooping cranes inhabited North America. Before settlers moved west, whooping cranes nested from Illinois to southern Canada and winter migratory routes extended from the Carolinas to Mexico where whooping cranes made their winter homes.

The whooping cranes of the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge and Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada's Northwest Territories and Alberta is the only wild flock in the world that was not established with human help. Each year, these whooping cranes fly south from their Canadian breeding ground in Wood Buffalo National Park, originally established to protect buffalo and was not known to be the breeding ground for whooping cranes until 1954, when a pilot spotted a pair of whooping cranes at the park. From this park, the whooping cranes make their way south to spend their winter with other south Texas residents in the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge such as alligators, deer, javelinas, cougars, bobcats, raccoons, armadillos, and feral hogs.

Last February, at the height of the migratory season, an aerial survey showed a whopping whooper count of 156, the largest number counted since the federal government began to keep a census in the 1930s. Refuge authorities believe no whooping cranes died during the winter even though the wind chills at the refuge dropped to 8 degrees.

Whooping cranes are the tallest of all birds in North America standing at 5 and one-half feet with a wing span of about 7 feet. Whoopers have long necks and legs, snow white bodies, jet-black wing tips and a red and black head. Whooping cranes can live up to 24 years in the wild. The whooping crane's migration from Canada to Texas, a route which covers 2,600 miles, takes place in September with the whooping cranes arriving at the Aransas Wildlife refuge between late-October and mid-November. By late-April, the whoopers will have left the refuge and returned to their summer home in Canada.

Whooping cranes eat not only aquatic animals, shellfish, wild fruit and roots of plants, but also scavenge dead ducks, marsh birds and small rodents. And they also eat snakes and snails. Whooping cranes reach sexual maturity at 4 years and and choose one mate for life. The courtship of the whoopers begins in late winter to early spring and consists of loud vocalizations, wing flapping, head bowing, strutting and tremendous leaps into the air by one or both birds. This dance is also used to defend territory. Both the male and female whoopers share in the task of incubating the two large eggs that the female lays. Usually, only one of the two chicks is reared. Chicks swim as soon as they hatch and can fly within three months.

The whooping crane's choice of migration routes, nesting locations and wintering routes is learned behavior rather than innate. Young birds learn these routes by following their parents on the first migration. Some conservation experts have suggested that whooping cranes bred in captivity may be able to learn their migration routes by following humans driving trucks or light aircraft. In an effort to creat a wild flock with an alternate migratory route, sandhill cranes were used as "foster parents." In 1975, at Grays Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Idaho, whooping crane egss were placed in the nests of sandhill cranes. Sandhill cranes then reared the whooping crane chicks as their own teaching them feeding habits and imprinting the sandhill crane's new 850-mile migratory path to the Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife in New Mexico. Unfortunately, the imprinting of the sandhill cranes as parents onto the whooping cranes was so complete, that the whooping cranes would not mate with other whooping cranes. Today, only 8 whooping cranes are left in this flock.

Because of loss of wetland habitat, shootings, collisions with power lines, disease and industrial pollution, the recovery of the whooping crane has been slow. The whooping crane's delayed breeding maturity and small clutch size make the population less capable of rebounding from these threats. Since the Aransas-Wood Buffalo population is the only existing breeding population, efforts are under way by both the the United States and Canadian Whooping Crane Recovery plans to establish additional breeding areas. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has established a nesting area in Kissimmee Prairie in Florida by introducing nonmigratory captive-reared whooping cranes and therefore, providing an additional nesting ground out of concern that a disaster such as an oil spill could wipe out a single existing local population. With these efforts, the whooping crane population is slowly growing.

One afternoon in late November, friends and I stopped for a lunch break after kayaking along the shore near Goose Island State Park and near the Aransas Wildlife refuge. As we were about to leave, we spotted a pair of whooping cranes in the marsh nearby. While we watched, the pair took flight and flew over our heads crossing St. Charles Bay in the direction of the refuge. What a unexpected thrill to watch these rare and beautiful birds in flight.

A good launch point to kayak into the area is at the Cavasso Creek bridge on Hwy 35 paddling into St. Charles Bay. Another launch point is from a small boat launching area located on the San Antonio Bay side of Austwell, just north of the Aransas Wildlife refuge and east of Hwy 35. Kayaking into the Aransasa Wildlife area (surrounding bays) is permitted, but landing on the refuge itself is not. Visitors can, however, enter the 100,00 acre park off Hwy 35 and drive through or hike the designated trails and have a picnic while birdwatching. Admission is free. Great car camping is nearby at Goose Island State Park, but call for a reservation and information at 512/729-2858.

Pick Your Poison

I am taken from obscurity

What is that smell? Some kind of plastic burning, some decayed carcass in the Summer Sun, my own ego left out to weather the storm exposed and worn. Overwhelming aroma of golden piss staining all your clothes. My sex is with the broken flesh, the empty field, the solemn guard left sleeping at the gate.

Folded away like a perfect white paper, filed away in the circuits of your ignorance, I sit and shine in no one's direction. I will one day be a butterfly, I will move past this chrysalis and flutter around the beautiful and unreachable crest of your face. Love is a game that I lost long ago, so lets just call it a tie.

Oh low, sparkle and falter on your sturdy earthen pedestal as my judgment makes reality shiver in the cold. I will never know a thing my dear, but I feel it all. The love shelters me as I vomit in reverse.

Puffy Paint

I can't believe I've never tried this project before. It was so easy and fun that I ended up doing it three times this week... first with my own kids, then as a project at my son's school, and then with our music class. I have a little bit of PTSD after working with lots and lots of squirrelly little 4 and 5 year olds. In particular my own kids, who tend to just dump out all the paint, smear it all over their bodies, and then run away screaming. They can engage with art projects sometimes, but it's a delicate trick... figuring out what will draw them in. This project was perfect because the bottles are just so irresistible to squeeze that no one could deny their hypnotic powers. And the finished products all ended up looking really cool... not that that is necessarily necessary.... I especially liked how it looked on the black background.

Puffy Paint

1 c. salt
1 c. flour
1 c. water
a healthy squirt of food coloring or tempera paint.

Put in squeeze bottles for Puffy Paint Paradise.

Tinkering for grown-ups

I was invited to do this team-building activity for a group from Whole Foods this week.This was so much fun... We made drawbots and desktop succulent gardens out of sardine cans (my kids have been insane for sardines lately... seriously they're almost on par with candy to use as a lure to get them to do my bidding). I really think the tinkering is a great way to break adults out of their shells. My heart was SO greatly warmed seeing these sweet folks get so excited... laughing, shrieking, problem-solving... it was totally adorable.

I have been doing a lot of work on Austin Tinkering School lately... just trying to get it all ship-shape so that it can hopefully be a real actual livelihood that can perchance support my whole family in the manner to which they've become accustomed. My husband recently quit his job to work with me full time on ATS(Unbelievable! Amazing! Terrifying! Exciting! Wild and wonderful! ) so this is not very hypothetical and these musings are quite pertinent to our life. Matt quit his job mid-summer and did all the tinkering camps with me, which was perfectly amazing, and that's the kind of completely exciting and satisfying and hands-on work that we love. Since then there's actually been about a 6 week period with hardly any classes (they all start next week) and we've just been thinking website, registration forms, 'pay now' buttons (ooh! fancy!), tax ID numbers, all this stuff I could never get to on my own and is simply amazing to be getting to now, with Matt's help. However I have found myself to be getting bogged down, and I've been thinking that I needed to refresh and revive myself and remind myself of what I am after here, like WHY does Austin Tinkering School need to come to life. Yes, it's a money-making venture, and that's important, but I don't think that should really be the taproot of the whole thing. If money is simply all I need it would surely be faster and easier to just get a job at Starbucks. Anyway, this is all a very garbledy and roundabout way of saying that I think the purpose of it all is just to bring that excitement of creation and making to people's lives. I can't say we always achieve it but there were lots of great moments during the camps this summer where kids were just completely lit up from within. And to see these adults completely giddy... that makes me feel like we are providing a valuable service. Now to see if we can keep sending out sparks while keeping our family out of the poorhouse... I do believe we can... think good thoughts for us all!

Atta Mills vs. Obama, any similarities?

Since the premix fuel shortage begun the President has not told Ghanaians what he is doing about the premix fuel problem which is preventing fishermen from going to sea despite their threat to hit the streets to demonstrate their displeasure over the shortage of the fuel. More importantly they have so far not shown any sign that they are in control of the economy.Since taking office, inflation has been soaring hitting 20% in May. Fuel prices are higher today than they used to be 6 months ago. Unemployment is rising steadily with companies like Vodafone promising to slash over 950 jobs. Our currency the Cedi has lost more than 30% of its value putting prices of commodities beyond the reach of ordinary Ghanaian. Simply put Ghanaians cannot associate President Mills' administration with a new project, programme or even maintainance of conditions that was existing before he took office. All that we have been hearing from the President are complaints of debts, confiscation of cars which are relatively less important compared to the many daunting problems confronting Ghanaians today. Readers should not get me wrong. I am not saying confiscating stolen state assets or asking former ministers to account for their stewardship are not important, what I am saying is that it should not take 80 to 90% of government time, energy and resources.

Since taking office Obama has implemented a stimulus package aimed at helping struggling businesses to stay in competition and to stabilise the US economy. He has directed that Guantanamo Bay detention Camp be closed. He has reached agreement with Russia to cut down the number of nuclear arsenals that each country has. He is working hard to withdraw US combat forces from Iraq by 2011. He is working with Congress to send more American troops to Afghanistan to contain the Taliban and bring stability in that war torn nation. He has made US a key player in the fight against global warming and Climate change, an unthinkable thing under the Bush administration. He is working hard to get US Congress to pass his Healthcare Bill that would overhaul US Healthcare system and makes it more affordable to all Americans at a cheaper cost. He has sent his envoys to the Middle East to get the Palestinians and Israelis talking again in the hope of finding solution to the ME problem. His Ministers are everywhere in the world to repair broken bridges in the international system. In what has been called US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue he has acknowledged that the future of our planet and what happens in this 21st Century would be shaped by what goes on between his country and China, as a result he has declared a new era of cooperation, not confrontation with China. All these he has done within six months of taking office, the same period that your Excellency President Mills has occupied our Castle. What makes Obama's efforts so enviable is that these are the issues he campaigned to address when elected and he seems pretty anxious to deliver.

Besides, Obama's Defence Secretary Robert Gates does not come from his Democratic party. Gates worked as Defence Secretary under the Bush administration and Obama maintained him without hell breaking loose in his Party. President Mills should compare that with the call by the founder of NDC to drive away from office Ghanaians who do not hold NDC Party IDs. Obama has resisted every call within his party and that of the Republican Party to prosecute former Vice President Dick Cheney because he says that is not his priority. Compare that with the arrests and the detentions and confiscations of cars which seem to be on top of President Mills' agenda. What I am saying is that President Mills and his government are not making any in roads to heal the economy and meet their campaign promises because that has never been their priority.

Obama and other leaders around the globe are pushing forward to save jobs and help their own citizens obtain employment despite the economic crunch and the fact that they owe a lot of money to their creditors. What we hear everyday about them is that they are arresting the collapse of their financial system, they are reducing the soaring unemployment problem, they are working with Russia and Ukraine to ensure steady flow of gas to their countries, they are working to contain inflation, they are supporting small businesses to increase production and provide jobs to the unemployed, they are working with the opposition to cut down deficit and are working to inject sanity into the world economic system not complaints, complaints and complaints.

Tight security at maiden Town Hall Meeting

Over hundred police personnel were at the venue to maintain peace
Over hundred police personnel were at the venue to maintain peace
There is heavy police presence at the Tamale Teachers Hall, the venue for the maiden Town Hall Meeting slated for Wednesday.

Roads leading to the venue and its immediate environs are filled with security forces to quell possible confrontation, and ensure a peaceful meeting where the people within the locality are supposed to meet collectively to discuss matters concerning their towns and districts, and work with government representatives at that level to plan budgets and allocate resources.

Joy News Mahama Shaibu counted not less than 100 police personnel patrolling the venue. “The police are actually prepared” to contain any eventuality, he said.

The heavy security presence has been attributed to earlier concerns raised by a section of the citizen, mostly members of the opposition New Patriotic Party, who feared being attacked by their perceived political opponent from the ruling National Democratic Congress.

The agitated group has been assured of adequate security by the government and the northern regional police command.

Meanwhile, information reaching Myjoyonline.com says the meeting suffered a late start as the representative of the regent of Dagbon staged a walkout because a chief, whose status is lower than his, sat at the high table while he was made to sit among the general public.

It took the intervention of the regional minister and other officials to convince him to return to the hall for the programme to start.

The Town Hall Meeting is aimed at deepening local participation in governance.

Kershaw Bests Cain, Giants in Opener

In one of the more frustrating openers in recent memory, Clayton Kershaw showed exactly why he's considered by many the best pitcher in the game. Not only did he shut down the Giants and complete a game in under 100 pitches, but he also homered to drive in the games first run.

There just weren't a lot of positives to take out of this one on the Giants side, outside of the fact that Cain was pretty darn impressive himself after that rocky first inning. Had it not been for that 30-pitch effort in the first, Cain may have been able to take the ball into the 8th inning like Kershaw did and maybe things turn out differently, but unfortunately the early season pitch count forced Cainer out after 6. It took him a few innings to really get command of the fastball, but after that, he had everything working smoothly as evident by his 8 strikeouts and just one walk over the 6 frames. And in typical, pre-2012 Giants fashion, they were unable to support Matty when he was out there throwing a gem. Granted, it was Kershaw, and the young lefty was certainly in his zone Monday, but I just saw too much first pitch swinging, and the Giants give away too many outs than I would have preferred to see. When a guy's in a groove like Kershaw was, they should have started waiting him out a bit and make him work. Even Scutaro, who is a notoriously patient hitter, had a few 2-pitch at-bats.

I hate to say it, but everything about this game reminded me a lot of 2011; the Giants get stifled by good pitching, and they fail to give adequate run support to Matt Cain. They really didn't have many chances offensively, as again, Kershaw was on his game, but they couldn't even work 3-ball counts out of the Dodger lefty, and that just shows you that they were in-patient. Hopefully we can chalk some of that up to opening day jitters, but they better do a quick 180 if they don't want to start 2013 in a rut like they did 2011. The only two hitters in the lineup to come up with base knocks off of Kershaw were Pablo Sandoval and Angel Pagan. The Panda had a couple of solid at bats and really hit the ball better than any other Giant off Kershaw, and looked good in the field as well. Hunter Pence also just missed hitting 2 big flies by a few feet each. Had it not been for Panda and Pagan's 2-4 outings though, the Giants may have been shut down all together as the lefty was perfect otherwise. Andres Torres looked like the 2011-12 version of Torres and Brandon's were both way outmatched by Kershaw.

The one Dodger who jumped out at me Monday and showed he was healthy was Carl Crawford, who made his Dodger debut after being part of that huge August trade with Boston last year. If he stays on the field and plays like he can, the Dodgers may very well posses the best outfield in the game, and he could end up giving the top of that lineup a spark very few teams have.

    OK I'm chalking that one up to Kershaw just being terribly good. The Dodgers weren't that impressive besides him and his home run.

    My dollar is on us tonight behind MadBum.

  • At 12:12 PM, Blogger Trevor Cole said…

    Yeah, Kershaw was impressive, and it's just one game. It gets magnified because it was the opener, but we do have to remember that it's just 1 of 162!I expect a better effort tonight behind Bumgarner as well though.

    What irks me is the Giants knew that hitting lefties would be an issue again coming into the season, and they could have gotten another right-handed bat to help out like Scott Hairston, and failed to do so. Would have been nice to have that option instead of Andres Torres, who looks like a shadow of his 2010 self.

  • At 12:56 AM, Anonymous hitnrun said…

    Couldn't have said it better myself Trevor. I guess that Sabean signed Torres because he wanted to return to the Giants, plus he was willing to come here cheap, which now makes sense, since they gave any money for Hairston, Swisher or Cody Ross to Posey instead. I have no problem giving Posey his contract since he is the face of the team, but investing a few more dollars in Hairston instead of Torres gives the team a better shot at defending the title. As the season progresses, and Torres is hitting about .220 they will realize that they need to replace Huff, I mean Torres, with someone who can get the ball out of the infield.

  • At 10:53 AM, Blogger Trevor Cole said…

    Hairston signed for 2 years and 5 million I believe (could be wrong on exact terms, but close to that).

    I would have rather given him even just 1 yr. at $4M than Torres the 1 Yr. $2M.

Accounting Software

Importance of Accounting Software for Businesses

Accounting is the foundation of any profitable business. It is understood that any business needs an accountant. Some businesses move ahead and appoint employees as their accountants and also there are some businesses that outsource their accounting to accounting companies. In both conditions, it has been proved that any business needs accounting.

There are various businesses that also spend in services offered to them by software for doing their accounting work. The accounting software permits the users to accumulate all the detail or it can be used just for calculations. The only issue is that the user should be very well-versed with this software as if they are not, and then this software may become a task to put away the business.

The other problem is that if the business is dependent on the software for accounting, then it is very significant to always have a support copy of the work completed or there may be a big risk to deal with if there is any bereavement of data. The software allows you to make your routine tasks very simple; however it also has many risks as well.

The Easy accounting software present in the market can be used as an accounting guidance tool. If there are definite transactions that are not very apparent for the accountant, then the accounting software can be proved very helpful. The software can simply manage reports as well as book keeping of your business. So, it will always be an advantage to invest in these types of software.

The accounting software is ultimately an advantage to the business and commerce industry as it makes the work very simple and shareable. As the accounting software is present online, it can also be shared very easily with the business members or owners. Many times there are accountants who contract out their work to accountants who are techno savvy as the work gets completed very fast at a very small price.

Therefore, using accounting software to manage business accounts is a very good deal, and you should avail this opportunity as soon as possible.

Residents of Chatro village of Giridih blame it on pollution in the area that stops the families to marry and settle down

Ranjit Rai (30) has been earning his living for the past 10 years. Now, he wants to settle down and have a family of his own. The only hurdle in his way of tying the nuptial knot is that his family can not find a bride for him.

Similar is the case with Sandeep Rai (27) and Jitendra Rai (25), who have been waiting for the wedding bells to ring but alas!

All are residents of Chatro village of Giridih and they blame it on pollution in the area that stops the families to marry off their daughters to people living here. "Koi ladki dena hi nahi chahta hai. Ladko ke pass naukri hai per shaadi nahi ho rahi hai (No one wants to marry their daughter here. The boys have jobs but are not getting married)," said Ram Ratan Rai, a senior villager.

Chatro has 13 sponge iron units. The soot from these factories pollutes the ponds and wells apart from endangering the plants and trees. Similar is the case in adjacent Gangapur and Mahuatand villages also.

"Whatever we inhale, eat or drink are polluted. In the past two years, majority of the children has been born with physical disabilities. In Chatro, Gangapur and Mahuatand the total number of such children is 11," said Ram Ratan.

It’s officially my favorite month of the year! Happy October!

Friday Favorites // 036 ::

  1. I love everything about this embroidered cardigan.
  2. What are you reading lately? I’m reading The Stand for the first time ever, and I love it. I’m not sure why it took me so long.
  3. Last year when I read about Death Salon at the Mütter, I made tentative plans in my head that I would return to Philadelphia again for my birthday. This was, of course, long before our Hawaii plans actually came into fruition. I’ve been following The Order of the Good Death and its co-founder, mortician Caitlin Doughty (her current project: Undertaking LA) fairly closely over the last handful of years, in the hopes to help deal with my own crippling anxieties about the inevitable.
  4. This Harvest Greetings card from Poison Apple Printshop is a beauty. I usually send a few fall greeting cards every year. My dad always gets a special Halloween one. It’s our thing. ♥
  5. These apple caramels from Lake Champlain Chocolates are made using Citizen Cider. If you have never in your life tried Lake Champlain Chocolates, I highly recommend that you do. And not just because they’re from my homeland.
  6. My next big jewelry purchase (one I’ll need to save for) will most definitely be a piece from Bloodmilk. Maybe I’ll start with the Petite Planchette ring.
  7. I’ve been really into facial masks and treatments, lately. I’d love to try this pineapple brightening mask from Herbivore Botanicals. My skin gets pretty dull looking, especially when winter rolls along, and I have yet to figure out how to work any magic using makeup.

  1. Explorer’s Press just posted a ton of great new stuff in their shop. I am particularly found of this keychain and crescent moon pin.
  2. This simple little ring is just perfect.
  3. These incredible sneakers by Inkkas are inspired by the Japanese artist Hokusai, an Edo period ukiyo-e painter and printmaker (Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji). These are currently being crowdfunded, and I wish I had any money whatsoever because I need these shoes. It’s been a long while since I’ve owned a pair of sneakers. Fellow Japanese art history nerds, it’s up to you to make these happen. Inkkas is a rad company in general, so check out their other stuff if these aren’t quite up your alley!
  4. This navy sweater from ModCloth looks super cuddly. I love the last few weeks of summer, but sweater weather is my favorite.
  5. Coated denim. I’m into it. This pair from PrAna is 79% organic cotton.
  6. Oh hey! New stuff from LUSH. I like the looks of this coffee scrub.

These days, a kinder sort of cosmetics shopping can be done close-to-home, and it doesn’t need to completely empty your pockets. More companies are taking the junk out of their products and cutting down on environmental impact by using less packaging, or recyclable alternatives. Hooray!

While I do enjoy a little luxury from time to time (because who doesn’t), I generally tend to stick to the basics. If I can’t make them myself, I need most of my everyday products to be readily available and relatively inexpensive. These are some of my favorites, both old and new, that can be found at most drug and grocery stores (or big box locations like Target and Walmart) here in the states! // favorite drugstore beauty products

1. I love Organix shampoos and hair styling products and have been using them for years. My pixie cut currently only requires infrequent shampooing (no conditioner), and this biotin shampoo is ideal for adding volume.  I like the neutral scent on this one; it means Tj can use it, too. The tea tree mint is another dude-friendly scent. These products are sulfate-free and the company does not test on animals. Vegans should read individual bottle labels. These are a little more expensive than some drugstore brands, but if you’re using shampoo at all, I think Organix is a nice compromise between salon and oldschool-hippie.

2. I am late to the EOS game, but I now have a couple pods floating around the house. You can purchase these at WalMart for $2.96. EOS balms and are 100% all natural and USDA certified organic. They are also paraben-free, petrolatum-free, phthalate-free (and gluten-free, if that’s your thing). I like sweet mint best. Pictured above is pomegranate raspberry.

3. I’ve been using Burt’s Bees lemon cuticle balm since high school. It’s a huge savior in the cold weather, especially. This will run you around $6, but it lasts a while.

4. e.l.f. proudly sports a vegan label, and the company has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to testing on animals. All of their products are hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, so they’re safe for sensitive skin. Also awesome? The cost. I paid $2 for the eye shadow quad pictured above, which is a nice selection of shimmery neutrals. As someone who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup, this is great because it means I can experiment freely, but in the very likely event that I don’t finish up a product before its expiration date, it’s not a huge loss. These beauties are so inexpensive because e.l.f. doesn’t spend money on ads or fancy packaging!

5. This is my everyday face wash. Yes to products are incredibly gentle, free of petroleum and parabens, and do not test on animals. Note to vegans: read individual product labels. The cleansing facial wipes are handy for travel.

6. I currently have a couple higher end (though not by much) mascaras, but Physician’s Formula is my less expensive go-to. The Natural Origins is less than $10 (half the cost of my favorite Tarte mascara), and it’s free of all synthetics. Tip: add a drop of lavender oil to your mascara tube to help nourish your lashes! Physician’s Formula is 100% cruelty-free, but vegans should read labels on individual products.

7. I love Mrs. Meyer’s everything, but the liquid hand soaps are an essential.  They do make solid bars, too, if you want something with less packaging. These are made in the US and all products are paraben-free, cruelty-free, and vegan.

Visiting the Ultimate Paradise: Bali, Indonesia

Back in November, my boyfriend Will and I set out on the adventure of a lifetime! First stop on our agenda was Bali. I’ve been wanting to visit Bali for as long as I can remember after seeing photos that really make it look like paradise. And one of the amazing things about living in Australia is how cheap and easy it is to get to Bali. You can fly there for less money than you would spend flying to New Zealand. And depending on what city you’re flying from, you might be able to fly to Bali for less money than a nice dinner out! Our flight from Melbourne was around $300, but flying back into Australia, we got flights to Darwin for a ridiculous $58 each!

We spent ten days in Bali, which I think was perfect for a first visit to the island. It gave us plenty of time to experience the culture of the island and visit lots of areas as well. Different parts of Bali are good for different things, and we really got to experience a bit of each in the three places we stayed: Seminyak, the Gili Islands, and Ubud.

First stop during our time in Bali was Seminyak. This is really the hub of the island with so much happening. There are some beautiful beaches, great food, exciting nightlife, good shopping, and it’s an easy start-off point for day trips to Tanah Lot and Uluwatu. It’s the perfect spot to start your holiday and get excited for what lies ahead of you on the trip.

Things to see and do:

Lounge on the Beach

While you’re in Seminyak, the main thing to do is beach, beach, food, and more beach! The area is very walkable, so it’s easy to explore the town centres and all the different beaches around. The main ones to check out are Seminyak Beach, Double Six Beach, Legion Beach, and Kuta Beach. You can rent a beach chair and if you’re feeling really fancy, there are even people offering to give massages or foot rubs on the beach!

Beach Clubs

While the beaches are beautiful, the beach clubs are even better. There are a bunch lining the shores of Seminyak and Kuta. Most of them are free to get in and offer decently priced drinks. And if you want to make a day of it, there are VIP areas in each of the best clubs with perfectly located sun beds. All you have to do is spend a minimum amount during the day, which is usually around $50. Not too bad for your entire day’s worth of food and drinks! The beach clubs all have pools overlooking the ocean, and some even have swim-up bars right in the pool! My favourite was the Potato Head Beach Club, and the Ku De Ta and Karma Beach Clubs are worth checking out too.

Where to eat and drink:

When looking for something to eat, you can’t go wrong with anything that has “warung” in the name! Warungs are local restaurants where you can get the most authentic Balinese and Indonesian food. They are usually super affordable as well! You can easily get an amazing meal for under $5. Our favourite warung in Seminyak was called Warung Aswin, which was located right next to our hotel. It’s so good we went back there three different nights!

When looking for somewhere to eat, check out the area called Eat Street. It’s lined with all different kinds of restaurants. And if you need your coffee fix, Revolver Cafe is really good. Their peanut butter cheesecake was delicious!

Where to stay:

While in Seminyak, we stayed at the Lotus Tirta hotel. It was in a great location with an easy walk into town and to the beach. The room was simple but comfortable, the staff was as friendly as can be, and there was complementary breakfast served by the pool each morning. Best part is we only paid $29 a night, cheaper than a dorm bed in a shared hostel room in most places!

Day trips to take:

What’s great about Seminyak being so central is how accessible it is to the rest of the island. It’s usually around $50 for the group to hire a driver for the day, which is very reasonable by western standards. While staying in Seminyak, a friend of a friend named Nyoman took us to see all of these places, and it’s very possible to fit into a day.

Uluwatu Temple

Of all the places to visit in Bali, Uluwatu Temple is probably the most iconic. It’s a beautiful clifftop temple that looks especially magical during sunset.

Tanah Lot Temple

Another amazing temple, this one is right in the water! It’s so beautiful and another of Bali’s iconic temples.

Canggu is a really cute little town that we stopped in for lunch. It is by the beach but is also full of rice fields, so it’s like the best of both worlds for Bali! We ate at the Betelnut Cafe, which is perfect if you’re craving something healthy. The smoothie bowls are delicious!

Padang Padang Beach

If you’ve seen Eat, Pray, Love you may recognise this beach, because it was one of the spots where they filmed for the movie. It’s a really pretty beach that you walk down through a sort of rock tunnel to get to which is really cool!

Palawan Beach

This is one of the newer beaches in Bali. Well I guess not necessarily new since the beach has probably always been there, but it’s just starting to get built up. There are some resorts being built around the area but it’s still pretty quiet and under-the-radar so it’s a good spot to visit before it gets too popular!

Gili Islands

The Gili Islands are what you imagine when you think of a tropical paradise. Motorised vehicles aren’t allowed so it feels like Bali might have before modern technology. You can easily walk everywhere if you want, otherwise you can rent a bike or take a horse and carriage ride. Gili Trawangan is the biggest, and while it has a reputation of being a party place, once you’re away from the small area by the port, it’s quiet and peaceful. There are lots of great restaurants, movies on the beach, and some good snorkelling. Gili Meno is the quietest island, perfect if you’re looking for a secluded island getaway. And Gili Air is like a fusion of the two, quiet but with enough excitement to keep you entertained.

Things to see and do:

Go snorkelling or diving

No matter which Gili Island you visit, there will be great snorkelling and diving spots at each. There are plenty of day tours on offer that take you to the best spots, or you can rent some snorkel gear from a vendor along the beach. In Gili Trawangan, the northeast corner of the island has the best snorkelling.

Island hop to the other Gilis

Since the Gili Islands are all so close together, it’s so easy to island hop over to another one for the day. Every morning, there are island-hopping boats from the main port of your island to take you to the others, and then a return boat in the afternoon. We stayed on Gili Trawangan and took a boat over to Gili Air for a day, which was a nice change of scenery.

Walk or bike around the perimeter of the island

All of the islands are small and very easy to get around. There will be a dirt path going around the perimeter of each island that passes through all the cool areas. You can walk it in about an hour and a half for Gili T (less for the other two), or you can rent a bike for the day.

Go for a swing

You’ve probably seen some of the iconic Gili Island pictures of people swinging in the water! Getting a photo on one is a must, and they are especially scenic at sunset.

Watch sunset from the west side of the island

No matter what island you’re on, the sunset in the west will be beautiful. On Gili T, you see the sun setting over Bali, and from Gili Meno and Gili Air, you see it setting over the neighbouring island.

Watch a sunset movie on the beach

While on Gili T, we saw so many beach bars that show movies on the beach at night! There were similar signs on Gili Air, so it must be a thing that every island does. It honestly felt like the ultimate paradise, lounging on the beach watching a film, piña colada in hand!

Where to eat and drink:

Like everywhere else in Bali, look for restaurants with “warung” in the name. On Gili T, there are places scattered around the perimeter of the island, with the majority of restaurants by the port and along the northwest side of the island. The port has more options, but is also a lot rowdier, so we preferred the peaceful north side of the island. For drinks, we enjoyed the Ombak Sunset bar where there was a great sunset view and Le Pirate for yummy cocktails and movies on the beach. We weren’t looking for any big nights out, but if you are, there is a big backpacker scene along the port.

Where to stay:

We stayed on Gili T at the Trawangan Oasis on the north side of the island. I think it was honestly one of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in and one of the cheapest too! The pool area felt like a tropical oasis and the room was huge! The bed was honestly like two double beds put together, so four people could have easily stayed there comfortably! There is a great complimentary breakfast each morning and bikes available for hire. We only paid $36 per night as well!

Ubud is considered the cultural hub of Bali. Rather than being surrounded by beaches, you’re in the heart of rice fields. There’s lots of history and cultural icons to visit around the city, and you’re close enough to take days trips to sights further north. To me, this was the spot that felt the most “Bali”.

Things to see and do:

The Sacred Monkey Forest

One of the coolest things to do in Ubud is visiting the Monkey Sanctuary! It’s a forest and series of temples with hundreds and hundreds of monkeys. They’re used to people so most of them are very friendly and curious. They’ll come right up to you and even jump on your head or shoulders! A word of warning though: be careful not to step on any monkeys’ tails. I was surrounded by monkeys at one point and accidentally stepped on one’s tail who then proceeded to start biting and scratching my leg. The monkeys are all vaccinated against rabies, but it still isn’t fun! Also make sure you don’t have any food in your bag. The monkeys will smell it and won’t give up until they get it.

Pura Dalem Agung Temple

Ubud has lots of historical and cultural places to visit, including several temples. This is one of the most famous and is located right in the Monkey Forest.

Saraswati Temple

I think of all the temples we visited, this was one of my favourites. To get right up to the temple, you walk through a walkway between ponds covered in lily pads. It’s beautiful and makes for some pretty great pictures.

Ubud Old Town

Ubud isn’t a big city, so it’s easy to walk around. The central bit of the city is considered the Old Town and is full of beautiful architecture. Ubud is a very artistic town, and this area of the city can attest to that.

Pasar Seni Market

If you’re looking for some souvenirs from your trip or just feel like doing some shopping, this is the place to go. It’s massive and has so many different vendors selling everything from clothes and jewellery to art and traditional Balinese artifacts.

Ubud Palace
In a lot of the sacred places, everyone (even the men!) are required to wear a sarong out of respect.

This was once the home to the royal family of Ubud. It was this spot that transformed Ubud into the artistic town it is now when lots of artists from around the world were hosted in the palace to work on their art. You can walk through the beautiful courtyards and see some traditional Balinese architecture and art.

Get a massage on a rice field

And of course you can’t leave Bali without getting a massage! We went to a place called Juwuk Manis and it was so perfect. We were taken to a room overlooking a rice field and got the most relaxing massages. It was only $9 as well, which was incredible! I had never had a massage before and have been so wanting another one ever since. Too bad they’re so much more expensive in Australia and New Zealand.

Where to eat and drink:

I know I sound like a broken record, but go anywhere with the word “warung” in the name! They’re honestly the best and super cheap as well. Our favourite was a place called Warung Adji that had just opened a few months earlier. The owner is from Jakarta and was one of the friendliest people we met on the trip! His food was great and authentic and it’s priced by local standards rather than tourist standards. If you like spicy food, you can take on some of his insanely spicy Indonesian noodles that range in level 1-12 in spiciness. The pisang goreng (fried banana) dessert is delicious to finish off your meal. There are also notes on the walls from all the travellers who have eaten there, so be sure to leave a message of your own!

Where to stay:

For a really authentic experience, book into the Firefly Lodge. It’s literally smack dab in the middle of a rice field and the views are so pretty! It can be hard to find, but if you plan a time with the managers of the hotel, they can pick you up by motorbike from a nearby restaurant. We found the lodge through Airbnb (one of my favourites when travelling!) and stayed in a room called the “Bamboo Bird’s Nest.” It was insanely cool! There were small rooms made of bamboo stacked up into four levels. We were on the bottom level, but for the higher ones, there is a bamboo ladder to climb. It felt like glamping at its finest! We paid $27 a night for the Bamboo Bird’s Nest, and they have different types of rooms and cottages that are also well priced.

Day trips:

Tegallalang Rice Terraces

These are probably the most famous rice terraces in Bali and for good reason! They are so beautiful and you can hike all around them. It does get pretty muddy though so careful not to slip!

Goa Gajah Cave

This is one of the temples near Ubud. There are some different features to the temple, the most iconic being the “Elephant Cave.” There are also fountains and an area you can walk down into that feels like a tropical rainforest.

Mount Batur

This is a volcano that is on the north side of Bali. It’s really pretty and is sacred in the Hindu religion (which most Balinese people follow). If you are feeling truly adventurous, there are some companies that will pick you up early from your accommodation and take you to the volcano for a sunrise hike.

Pura Tirta Empul Temple

This is another one of the more well-known temples in Bali. At this temple, Balinese people will pray and then bathe themselves in and drink from the pools of holy spring water. This is meant to wash away any bad thoughts or curses that were placed on them by others.

Satria Coffee Plantation

Bali makes some really great coffee and tea, and the coffee it’s especially known for is “kopi luwak.” This coffee is made from beans that are digested through a mongoose. The mongoose eats the coffee beans, which are later collected from their poop and cleaned well before being made into coffee. Sounds pretty gross, but it’s really popular and pretty good actually! I’m not a coffee person, so that coffee was a bit strong for me but we got to sample different flavoured coffees and teas that they make which were delicious. We also got to see how they make the coffee, and I had a go at roasting some coffee beans!

Blangsinga Waterfall

You can’t go to Bali and not visit at least one waterfall! There are several all over the island, and one that we visited was the Blangsinga Waterfall. It’s really pretty and if you want to escape the heat, you can go for a swim under the waterfall!

Between Seminyak, the Gili Islands, and Ubud you really do get to experience the best of what Bali has to offer—beaches, culture, history, food, adventure…

I had such an amazing time visiting Bali. Everywhere you visit is so pretty and the culture is really interesting to learn about. This was my first visit to Bali, but I can assure you it won’t be my last! I can’t wait to return and see even more of Bali as well as the rest of Indonesia.

What are some of your favourite places to visit around Bali? Or if you haven’t been yet, what interests you most about visiting Bali? Let me know in a comment!

Girl Sees The World

Hi I’m Christie, a 25 year old girl originally from Boston who has spent time living in New York City, North Carolina, France, Australia, and New Zealand. I love moving to new places and exploring them as a local, so I can’t see my nomadic expat life stopping any time soon! I have no bigger passion than travel, and when I’m not exploring I spend my free time reminiscing on past trips and daydreaming about future travel.

5 thoughts on “Visiting the Ultimate Paradise: Bali, Indonesia

  1. Hi Christie……I was just looking at your beautiful photos. It certainly sounds like you are having an amazing time! We love hearing about your adventures….lol
    Your mom said that your job there is going well, and I’m sure you are looking forward to seeing Will (I think she said later this month).
    Your photos are so beautiful and look professionally done! We will look forward to seeing more in the future. You are so pretty! Poppy & I love you & miss you!
    Love, Grammy xoxoxo

  2. I love how detailed your post is. It is a one stop guide to everything that a person needs. I’ve been to Indonesia and I loved it. It was a long time before we started GlobeTrove and I’m guilty of just laying back and relaxing. Though I must admit it was one of the best vacations I have had. Gili T. was my all time favorite though.

Journey To The Breakthrough!

As many of you guys know, I have been at Bethel Church in Redding, California since Sunday.  It truly has been amazing, I have seen people healed from so many different things.  It truly reminds you how powerful and outstanding God's love really is on us.

This week I really felt like the word "Smitten" is such a huge meaning full word, the Lord had that on my heart.  Lady's or Gentleman (not sure if any guys are reading my blog) I have gone through some stuff that I kept to myself for a year and two months, stuff that I haven't told ANYONE, in my family (small group) I shared whats been on my heart and what I have been dealing with.  I want you guys to know that:

  1. It's not healthy to keep things in and not share with people what your going through.
  2. Being vulnerable is okay!
After telling my family whats been going on, I can't even began to describe how amazing I felt.  I was smiling and felt happy and not this shame all over me. I was caring shame from a past relationship that I never told anybody about (NOT SEX)(I will keep it confidential for now for the sake of the other person).  But for once I was smiling with a true smile not one of those fake got it all together smile (you know that smile, everyone does it from now & then). I really felt like I hit my breakthrough that I truly and been praying for.

 I want you guys to know that whatever you guys are going through if its depression, shame, fear, anger, feeling inadequate.......I want you guys to realize that we have a HUGE amazing SOVEREIGN God that we serve.  He is Smitten over us, "Struck, as with a hard blow. Very much in love." Wow, huh?  Can you even grasp that?  I was in tears today when God put that word on my heart.  It's true God is Smitten with us, so much in love with us that he died on the cross for our sins.  When we are going through something or we have a weight of stuff we just need to kneel down at the cross and give our weight over to him.

Confessing is HUGE! The devil has to flee when you put words behind a declaration! Here is one that I have that we are using in the workshop: (1-2-3 Skidoo)

I nail (Whatever you are going through) to the cross.  I break all agreements I've made with (Whatever your going through) known or unknown and I repent of joining with (Whatever your going through).  I ask You, Father, to send (Whatever your going through) away from me! In JESUS NAME!

So this should be food for thought and maybe something your going through you could use this.  I'll post more tomorrow but since it is midnight and I need to be up by 6AM (YES AM) I need to get some sleep for another 12 hour day. :) <3 I hope and pray this post is for somebody, if not I hope you enjoy it.

P.S. I want to say thank you for those that have been reading my blog, I have 1,025 viewers reading my blog.  If you are not a "follower" it is very easy to become one, just click on the "Join Site" that is all you have to do. But again thanks for reading my blog, you guys are all a blessing to me!

My passion for GIS began with the study of topographic maps and landform analysis while pursuing my undergraduate engineering degree.  I then served as an officer in the U.S. Army, with leadership roles requiring the extensive use of GIS tools for the calculation of artillery solutions, as well as for tactical operations planning.

My current role is Manager of IT Systems Analysis, at CenturyLink in Denver.  Throughout my 15 years at CenturyLink I've led technical and project management teams on large-scale business initiatives, including many in which GIS was a major component of the business solution.

The passion I have for GIS extends to my hobbies as well, which include orienteering, map collecting, mountain biking, trail running, and other mountain adventures in the U.S. and Europe.  I also love history, especially when the story of a world event is portrayed in the form of a map.

My formal education includes a BS in General Engineering from the United States Military Academy (West Point) and a Master of Arts in Telecommunications Management from Webster University.  I am certified as a Project Management Professional (PMP).

I would like to serve on the board of GIS Colorado to contribute to the GIS community.  My extensive leadership experience will contribute to our central mission of fostering collaboration across this rapdily growing community.

Love And Hip Hop NYC 2014 RECAP

By  |

 NYC: With all the RATCHETNESS  Love And Hip Hop brings, 2014 was by far the greatest. Tihary finally got Joe Budden back, but in the end his untruthful ways cause her to choose between his forever and her career. He got a big “NO” in Time Square and she got herself a  new go go  club. The threesome between the diva of them all: Erica Mena, Rich Dollaz, and Cyn needs its own spin off. Erica found love in Cyn, but still couldn’t stop banging Rich. Rich then realize he finally wanted Erica and decided to spill his secret, SMASH. Well Cyn, Cyn was not having it, and once again Erica turned out to be the most confuse of them all. Newcomers Peter Gun, Tara, and Amina was nothing more than the ultimate betrayal. Peter gun left his 13 year relationship with kids and secretly marries his aspiring singer girlfriend Amina. In the end Tara had to move on. Peter then  declared his love for Anima who better keep her eyes on her two timing husband, because what goes around comes back  around.

This season Yandy had to juggle her kids, business, and her man behind bars.  I can only pray her man gets out soon, because only time can tell how much a broken woman can take.  On and off again couple Saigon and Erica Jean put all their bickering aside and decided to move forward for the sake of their son. R& B artist K Mitchell story line was irrelevant this season, but she had her best year ever. Her album went number 1, and she headlines her own tour. I’m not sure where the reunion will take us, but since RATCHETNESS  is in, we will be watching…LOL
