Applesauce. - Photos - christygrimes on Xanga The next month or two of work on Xanga 2.0 is going to be busy, so I wanted to share with everyone a roadmap of how we’re thinking about things! We’re dividing the work on this project into four basic phases. Phase 1. Data migration As described here, we’ve imported over every account that we have on Xanga over to the new system so that anyone who could sign into Xanga can still sign into Xanga 2.0. (Try it here!) Finally and most important of all, we’ve imported over 2 million blogs from the old system. * We’ve archived the blogs of the hundreds of thousands of blogs where the user has logged in in the past 5 years and has at least two subscribers. * We did an additional set of archives for 200k users who had logged in the past year and had at least 10 blogs. * We’ve also archived the blogs of every single user that’s ever been premium at any point in the past… And of course, a lot of you guys archived your own blogs using the old Xanga archive generator. Phase 2. Phase 3. Phase 4.
Civets Kittens Civets are small, lithe-bodied, mostly arboreal mammals native to the tropics of Africa and Asia. The Owston's Palm Civet is a civet that lives in the forests and wooded lowland river basins of northern Vietnam, northern Laos, and southern China. These beautiful cubs are part of a conservation breeding programme at Newquay Zoo in Cornwall which also directly supports an overseas conservation project in the civets native home of Vietnam. Director of Newquay Zoo, Stewart Muir said “We are delighted that the breeding programme for this endangered species is doing well. It was only four years ago that the first six Owston’s Civets were allowed out of Vietnam to three UK zoo’s to start a breeding programme. “The project in Vietnam is called the Small Carnivore Conservation Project based at Cuc Phuong National park and helps protect a variety of leopard cat, binturong (cat bear) and pangolins. The two cubs have been named Dong Hoi and Dong Ha after two of the islands in Vietnam.

I parked at the Tidal Basin just after sunrise. I set out with an iPhone, a goal of nine miles, and no time limit. I reached my goal, and added an extra two miles just for the fun of it. I might already be fit enough to run 10 slow miles in a race, but I’m too ADD to know for sure. OK, so I’m not a hardcore runner by any definition. Continue reading
