's red carpet outfit featured a hot pink train that wrapped around her waist and opened to reveal a bold message.
Nettles opened the accessory for the cameras to reveal the words: "Play our F@#!n Records, Please & Thank You."
It was a straight-forward message that speaks to gender equality on country radio. The percentages of women getting played on mainstream country radio have reached historic lows in recent years, spawning several important conversations and at least two movements, Change the Conversation and #LetTheGirlsPlay.
The symbol for female is stitched in black along the right leg of Nettles' ivory pantsuit. When closed, the train features a portrait of a woman with a female symbol pendant from her neck. The woman in the drawing looked unamused, in contrast to Nettles who can be seen smiling in all of the pictures taken on the red carpet Wednesday night.
The 2019 CMA Awards will celebrate women in country music. Officially the Country Music Association never stated the theme was in response to anything, but several women involved have spoken passionately in the past about the imbalance, including Carrie Underwood and Reba McEntire. Along with Dolly Parton, they'll host the ABC telecast. Nettles is slated to perform during the opening of the show — a superstar, all-female collaboration of hits.
Remember: The best way to watch the 2019 CMAs is on TV, with ToC on your phone!

Jennifer Nettles Fans May Fall In Love With Caylee Hammack:So I won’t lie – when reports started coming out about Google’s new Chrome OS, I was completely devastated. I liked to pretend I was making Braydix ‘just for fun’, but I think I had always secretly hoped that I might someday make a product of some sort out of it. Google’s announcement basically means the chances of that are nearly completely shot. That did not make me happy, to say the least.
Google claims their software will be open source. So there’s nothing preventing me from taking whatever I want from that and integrating it with whatever I’ve got. I’ve got a pretty nifty filesystem, and a pretty tight high-level architecture for stuff.
Or, if they really do a great job (very likely), I could just switch to it, completely. Whatever services or things I make available to my ‘thing’ can probably be made to be just as available to the Googlers.
Or if their licensing terms are horrible, or their product is Big Brother-ey, I become the ‘friendlier’ alternative.
Or maybe Braydix just becomes irrelevant.
 I don’t foresee that changing.
But whatever the GOOG does, they cannot take away from me what I’ve learned, or what I’ve built, and if they make something that I don’t like, I can always make sure that I am making something I do like.
I do think the amount of time I spend on Braydix will decrease. It’s natural – when I have something that isn’t so unique and wonderful and clever as I thought it was, the impetus to work on it decreases. And when Google is advancing the same thing as I am, their bandwagon is a touch bigger than mine.
Like any Linux distro, Braydix uses its own initramfs as the tiny bare-minimum memory-based filesystem from which to mount the ‘real’ root filesystem. The Braydix initrd looks for a ‘cache’ hard drive that it can boot from, and boots from it if it can. If it doesn’t find one, it uses a special “bootstrap file” to prepare a minimal set of files that so that it can boot up and launch a browser (and network config utilities and disk config utilities, etc). Once I got the files down to a size where they would fit, I used a ‘CRAMFS’ file to jam them into (it’s a special compressed filesystem).
Once the initramfs has loaded, it passes control on to the cache HD, or the minimal filesystem from the bootstrap. That’s the piece that manages to overmount crestfs over the current ‘web cache’ (whether it be a disk or temp files). CREST-fs is the crazy thing that I built that allows you to mount the whole of the Web as a filesystem. The ‘overmounting’ trick is tougher than it seems – the very files you’re running off of are the ones that are being replaced by a new copy!  The cache that it’s overmounted-over is treated as cache, and if the contents are ‘current’, newer versions won’t have to be grabbed from the internet.Then it launches the browser.
The result? a 30 meg ISO. And I haven’t really gotten deep into trying to squeeeeeze and scrunch the files in there down (but I don’t think it will help much). and that 30 meg ISO could have give you access to a huge and complex back-end system – as I am expecting to do. It’s really fun putting things *not* on the bootstrap file, but on the server, and watching them show up on my test VM. That’s probably what’s happening next – write support (somehow), C compiler, and getting it all to be ‘self-hosting’ – instead of using a Redhat install as my ‘workstation’ to develop this, I will use instead a Braydix install to develop it. That will be fun!
Oh, and F google. F ’em in the eye. They’re starting to really freak me out.
Today’s Jewish wedding has a super inspirational love story behind it: Israeli couple Noa and Shaked were in a long-distance relationship for 6 years (!) while Noa was abroad studying medicine. The two of them are just radiating joy in the gorgeous photos of their day at Hadera Forest Hall, at Baya’ar, and knowing that bit of backstory you can understand why!
Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Ran Bergman’s photos of the day are just so artsy and cool; some of them could easily have come out of a really chic magazine spread (especially given that Noa and Shaked are basically models!).
And he captures the couple’s enchanted forest theme so well — you’ve got to see his shots of the beautiful outdoor ceremony, under a simple white chuppah laden with greenery, amidst the trees of the forest. Pure magic.
We got married at the Hadera Forest Hall, at Baya’ar. The feeling of being in a forest there is just magical; we couldn’t resist the lush greenery. And the location was halfway between the bride’s family home and the groom’s, so it made sense for our guests.
BTS concluded its four-day Permission To Dance on Stage concerts in Los Angeles but Jungkook hinted that more shows will be held soon.
On December 3, fans were left teary-eyed as the K-pop idols wrapped up its much-awaited event.
However, the Euphoria singer took the mic in hands to bring back smile on fans' faces as he made a huge announcement.
“ I’m confused how I feel right now. This is not our last show. This is just a beginning. So, we will keep seeing you,” he added.
Soon after the singer’s speech, fans have been sharing the clip of the announcement on Twitter as they can’t keep calm to see more on-stage performances of the world-famous band.This one is a little strange. I'll start off by saying that my grandfather was a family dairy farmer up until his retirement when I was 16.

 There's a meat packing plant on the south side of the city, and on still mornings, it stinks up all of downtown. You can tell the really nasty days because people are dashing into their offices just a little quicker than normal. The stench just hangs around until midmorning, and vanishes. Now, it wasn't always the same smell. Sometimes it was straight-up cow manure, or urine. Other times, it was the sickly-sweet stench of rotting alfalfa that's been sitting in a loose pile just a little too long and has started to ferment/compost or whatever is going on there. I know this because of my summers on my grandpa's farm.

So on those mornings in downtown Des Moines, everyone else is darting inside, trying to get away from those smells. I, however, walk slowly, head up, breathing deeply, as the horrid stench takes me back to the walks from my grandfather's house down to the barn at dawn to do chores for the day. <commit_before>/**
