The More You Know (ab 2Pz Correspodentz)
Hello, hi, Melissa here. This morning I went to the gym and hooked up my iphone and decided to give Ludacris Radio a try. I must say, it was DELIGHTFUL. Normally when I leave the gym I go home and take a nap before I have to leave for work (workout is only 30 mins-leaves about 30 to 45 mins for some extra ZzZzZZZzz's). Well today I was so entertained I decided to keep Ludacris and friends playing. It was great! The pups were a little confused but they seemed to enjoy it as well. I would go as far as to say that we had a mini dance party...which is CRAZY, i mean...it's seven o'clock in the morning. WHO DOES THAT? Any who, I said all of that to say: Ludacris must have had so much fun writing that Ho song. I clearly never took time to appreciate the lyrics (too much serious twerking going on) but this morning as I was picking out my outfit I couldn't help but giggle. What a great way to end the work week and welcome the beginning of the weekend. So, for your enjoyment...i know you'll love it...Ludacris, Ho, suitable for every occasion.
this video is sub-par BUT there's a kitty kat at 2:17 so definitely worth watching.

If, god forbid, I fall onto the tracks or someone I am willing to risk my life for falls into the tracks and is knocked out - and a train is coming (lets say 30sec away) - what should I do? Are those pits between the rails by the platforms made for people to hide in in a worst case scenario?
The best thing you can do is run as far down the platform as you can (in the opposite direction from where the train enters the station) and wave your arms frantically to get the train operator and passenger's attention. Believe me, the passengers WILL be doing the exact same thing, as nobody wants to see you get run over and their train get delayed. If you can get to the far end of the platform, it gives the train more room to stop, and there is a ladder at the end of each platform where you can climb back up -- do NOT try to climb up from where you are. So many people have been killed trying to jump back up rather than getting away from the entrance end of the station.
Do NOT trust the pits between the tracks --- they are often right next to the third rail which can be just as dangerous (and note that the wooden planks are not designed to hold a human's weight - they are there to protect the energized rail from drips and weather) and the train operator is less likely to see you if you're in there. And don't duck under the train, because most stations do not have enough clearance for the average human. And do NOT jump down onto the tracks to try to save someone else. The best thing you can do is run on the platform towards the tunnel where the train enters so you can get the operator's attention sooner. Waving your arms over the tracks will tell the operator to stop immediately.
this is the answer the MTA does not want you to know.

I've really been wanting to use the phrase "those were our salad days" but i wasn't sure i was gonna do it right. soooooo i googled it. now I know.
"Salad days" is an idiomatic expression, referring to a youthful time, accompanied by the
inexperience, enthusiasm, idealism, innocence, or indiscretion that one associates with a
young person. More modern use, especially in the United States, refers to a person's heyday
when somebody was at the peak of his/her abilities—not necessarily in that person's youth.
History
The phrase was coined in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra in 1606. In the speech at the
end of Act One in which Cleopatra is regretting her youthful dalliances with Julius Caesar she
says:
"...My salad days, / When I was green in judgment, cold in blood..."
The phrase became popular only from the middle of the 19th century, coming to mean “a
period of youthful inexperience or indiscretion." The metaphor comes from Cleopatra's use of
the word 'green' — presumably meaning someone youthful, inexperienced, or immature.
