The following was sent to Wrestleview.com.
WrestleNewz.com has published Part 2 of their exclusive interview with Ric Flair. Flair talks about a WWE return, his daughter being in WWE developmental and lots more. Here are some highlights:
His favorite moment in the ring:
"The greatest moment in my life was wrestling Shawn Michaels for my retirement. No lie about that. But he carried me in that match. The little smart-ass actually told me to keep my mouth shut in the ring and follow him! (laughs). I didn't do shit."
His daughter, WWE developmental Diva Charlotte:
"She's doing fabulous. She's in Tampa right now training and she's doing incredible. She is literally unbelievable."
Did he try to talk her out of joining WWE?
"No, no, I wanted her to do it! She came to WrestleMania with me in Miami, when I got my second Hall of Fame ring with the Four Horsemen, and she just fell in love with the whole scenario.
Is he teaching her to be the dirtiest Diva in the game?
"No, But I'm just trying to make her understand that it's a very intense business. It is. Everybody takes care of themselves in that business. I mean, don't misunderstand me: Vince takes care of people. Vince takes care of everybody. But it's a very competitive business once you're in the door."
Flair also discusses his new girlfriend, his #1 goal for a WWE return and how his daughter fits in, plus more. The full interview can be read at WrestleNewz.com.

Mariah Carey records song for 'Oz'
'Almost Home' will be out Feb. 19.
We can definitely picture Mariah Carey in some fabulous ruby slippers, and now the superstar singer has recorded a song for Disney's fantastical adventure Oz the Great and Powerful (out March 8).
The song, Almost Home will be released as a single by Carey's label, Island Def Jam, on Feb. 19. Award-winning photographer/director David LaChapelle will direct Carey in the music video for Almost Home. The two have worked together many times before: LaChapelle photographed Carey previously for album covers, and directed her in the music video Loverboy.
Carey's been extra busy these days: the songstress, who can be seen judging this season of American Idol, is currently working on her new studio album to be released this spring.

Although I tie my trout and bass flies all year long, I really seem to get the itch to start production tying right about now.
Although I tie my trout and bass flies all year long, I really seem to get the itch to start production tying right about now. With snow on the ground and the probability of more on the way, there's no better time than now to get ready for the upcoming fly fishing season. If you tie your own fishing patterns, you know it's more than just a bad case of cabin fever.
In this two-part series, I'll take a look at getting ready for fly-tying season, with a look at equipment and materials. Before each season, it's important to check the condition and readiness of your tying gear. It's equally important to make sure you have enough quality and quantity of tying materials that you'll need to tie your favorite patterns and maybe some new ones.
When I started tying flies nearly 30 years ago, I was able to keep everything in one box. It didn't take much space to store my Thompson vise, a bobbin, cement, a few Indian hackles and an assortment of other basic items.
Today, I literally have thousands of types of tying materials, supplies and, to a lesser extent, tools. After 30 years, I still have my first Thompson vise, in good working order and located in my tying box for road trip work. I've since graduated to a higher-end tying vise with a heavy metal base, but that old vise keeps on ticking .
In preparing for the upcoming tying frenzy, I'll check all my equipment first. The most important piece of equipment is the tying vise. It doesn't matter if you spend $10 or $200, if your vise is not functioning well, you won't be tying much. Applying a small drop of no-scent lubricating oil on key joints is about as much as you'll need to do on most vises. It's also a good idea to keep the vise as clean as possible, especially if you travel a lot and tie where you fish.
The next thing I check in the preseason is the variety and condition of my hackle. If you tie your own patterns for trout and/or bass, you probably have a considerable investment in chicken feathers, otherwise called hackle. Some of us have learned that it pays to buy the best hackle grade you can afford.
Experience has taught me that a better grade hackle, whether a cape or saddle, is always a better investment. Why? For one thing, the higher graded hackle has much greater variety of small and medium hackles commonly used for most pattern sizes. In most cases, I also find that the colors of premium grade hackle is more consistent and more vibrant than the lower grades.
Then again, there are those who would argue that there's little difference between a grade one and a grade two hackle. They are right only on one point: the lower grade hackle is certainly much less expensive than the premium. I might also point out that there are sometimes substantial differences in the grading system each hackle vendor will use to rate their products. So, like everything else, it's buyer beware.

Iginla-less Flames host Blue Jackets
The Calgary Flames officially continue their playoff push on Friday night without former captain Jarome Iginla as they play host to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Not long after a 4-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday, a contest in which Iginla was a healthy scratch to end a string of 441 consecutive games played, the Flames announced they had traded their all-time leader in goals, points and games played to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a pair of college forwards and a 2013 first-round pick.
The 35-year-old Iginla notched 525 goals, 570 assists, 1,095 points and 1,219 games played with the Flames and helped the club reach the Stanley Cup Finals in 2004. Calgary, though, has missed the postseason in each of the last three years and enters play on Friday 14th out of 15 teams in the Western Conference and six points back of a playoff spot.
"It's definitely weird. There's no downplaying the significance and the presence that he has been in this room and on this organization and on this city, so it's a little different," Flames forward Mike Cammalleri said on Thursday.
Despite the trade of Iginla, Cammalleri said the rest of the Flames aren't calling it quits on a run at a playoff spot.
"For players in the room, we get up every day trying to win hockey games," he said. "There's no feeling of that in the room when it comes to players. We're going to try and win every game. We feel like we can do it. Until they take our skates off, we're going to feel that way."
Cammalleri will be counted on to help replace Iginla's offense and he was up to the task on Wednesday, scoring a pair of second-period goals in the win over the Avalanche.
Jiri Hudler and Steve Begin each lit the lamp in the first period for the Flames, who have won eight straight at home. Joey MacDonald made 27 saves.
"I give lots of credit to our players, because they showed great focus," Calgary coach Bob Hartley said of his team playing without Iginla. "We have lots of great veterans, so obviously leadership is not a problem."
The Flames hope to extend their home winning streak on Friday and hand the Blue Jackets a winless four-game swing. Columbus is 0-2-1 thus far, beginning the trip with a 5-2 loss in Nashville that snapped its club-record 12-game point streak (8-0-4).
The Blue Jackets were then dealt a shootout loss in Vancouver before a 6-4 loss in Edmonton on Thursday. They lost despite a career-high three points from Cam Atkinson, who scored twice as he matched Rick Nash's franchise record for the fastest goal to begin a game. He scored 10 seconds into the contest and also tallied in the third period to put Columbus up by a goal before Edmonton scored the game's final three goals.
"That's a tough way to lose, normally we're very good defensively and normally we don't score that many goals," Columbus defenseman Jack Johnson remarked. "When we do score that many goals and lose it's a frustrating one."
Artem Anisimov also had a three-point night with a goal and two assists, Matt Calvert notched a goal and a helper and Sergei Bobrovsky yielded all five goals on 24 shots.
Columbus, which is tied for 10th in the West and three points back of a playoff spot, had defenseman James Wisniewski in the lineup for the first time in 15 games due to a broken foot. He was activated off injured reserve prior to the game, while forward Brandon Dubinsky missed his third in a row with a lower body injury and was placed on IR.
The Flames and Blue Jackets have split two meetings this season in Columbus, with the Jackets notching a 5-1 win in the most recent meeting on March 22 to push their points streak to 12 straight.
Though the Blue Jackets have won their last two in Calgary, they have still dropped six of their past nine as the road team in this series.

Q: My boyfriend is always satisfied when we have sex, but the truth is he's satisfied so quickly that I usually end up doing without and staying frustrated. I'm 40, and after an emergency hysterectomy I feel I'm finally able to enjoy sex more. He is 45.
I'm highly attracted to him, yet he ignores me. Shouldn't he still do what he can to make sure I'm pleased and orgasm too? Is this a "him" problem or a "me" problem? He has never been married. I've been married twice. Am I expecting too much from him? I'm feeling very frustrated and am starting to get a bit resentful that he doesn't seem to care enough.
A: Let me start by saying sex doesn't happen the way it does in the movies. The actors portraying Superman can't really fly, and most women don't have orgasms merely by engaging in sex in the missionary position. Once you realize that, it becomes apparent that there are many, many ways for two people to have sex.
The goal is for both to attain sexual satisfaction, but it doesn't matter how you get there. So if he ejaculates too quickly, he should then do whatever you need to have an orgasm, if not with his penis, then in other ways.
If he is no longer interested in continuing to have sex after he has ejaculated, then he should make sure you have an orgasm before he does, and if he can't last during intercourse, then he should use his fingers, his mouth or a vibrator to give you the stimulation you need.
You two can work this out if you're both willing to talk about it and figure out what works best for you. Again, your sex life probably won't resemble what you see on screen, but who cares, as long as it is satisfying to the two of you?
Q: In the past few years, my wife's and my sex life has slowed way down, dramatically. She was around 30 at the time. We have been together for more than 17 years. We have two children together. Is it possible for her vagina to become larger, inside and out — both look and feel? I have been through several bodily changes with her. Are these changes normal, with only one partner? Or should I be worried about something else?
A: A woman's vagina can be stretched from childbirth to a point where it doesn't go back to its original size, though whether that is the case in your situation is something only her gynecologist could answer. But if your sex life is heading in the wrong direction, that wouldn't be directly related to the size of her genitals.
It's more likely that the problem is psychological, not physical. Your relationship may need some sprucing up, or perhaps she's very busy working and taking care of children. I can't guess, but you know her pretty well, so what would you say the real problem is?
Q: My boyfriend and I have been together for four years. We are trying to wait until marriage to have sex. I'm a virgin. About eight days after my last period, we were fooling around, and it felt like he entered me a little. My question: Can I get pregnant? I'm in a lot of suspense since we are not ready for a pregnancy. What are the statistics of pregnancies occurring this way?
A: Statistics, schmatistics — if you can become pregnant in this way and you don't want to, then don't take the risk. I don't know why you're waiting so long to get married, unless you're still very young, but either you two need to be more careful or you should start using birth control so that if another such incident occurs, you'll be protected.
Q: I am 27 years old, and I and have never been able to have a G-spot orgasm by intercourse. I didn't even think that I could have a G-spot orgasm until my boyfriend helped me have one by with a vibrator. I've only been able to have them when he is using a vibrator on me. I can't seem to have one from just having sex, and I would really love to. How can I have a G-spot orgasm by just us having sex?
A: Vibrators generally cause orgasms by being applied to and around the clitoris. Is that what you are talking about, or do you already have clitoral orgasms and your boyfriend used the vibrator inside your vagina, where the G spot supposedly is? If it's the latter, the obvious answer is that your G spot, assuming you have one, needs strong sensations to be sufficiently stimulated to cause an orgasm. But there is no scientific proof that there is such a piece of a woman's anatomy as the G spot, so I can't give you any hard-and-fast rules, as there are none. The one thing I can tell you is not to get frustrated by this, because certainly most women don't have a G spot and so don't experience these orgasms.

Diego Forlan scored twice after Luis Suarez's opening goal as Uruguay beat Paraguay 3-0 to win the Copa America on Sunday and be crowned South American champions for a record 15th time.
Suarez, voted player of the tournament, put Uruguay ahead in the 12th minute of the final at the Monumental when his low, left-footed shot from the right beat the diving Justo Villar and went in off the far post.
Forlan, the 2010 World Cup's best player, made it 2-0 three minutes before halftime when he ran onto a ball from midfielder Egidio Arevalo Rios and blasted left-footed past Villar from just inside the box penalty box.
In the last minute, Forlan made sure of the title with his second goal at the end of a fine counter-attacking move, steering the ball past Villar and in off the post.
"This squad were very united, they showed that what they did at the World Cup was no fluke and we showed we're the best in (the) Americas," Suarez said.
"I think Uruguay have achieved many things and needed not to forget how to win titles."
Uruguay now have one more title than hosts Argentina, whom they upset on penalties in the quarter-finals, to crown a fine 12 months after their fourth place at the World Cup.
Twice champions Paraguay finished the tournament without a victory having reached the final with five draws and two penalty shootout wins.
Suarez scored four goals in the tournament, one less than top scorer Paolo Guerrero whose hat-trick helped Peru beat Venezuela 4-1 for third place in La Plata on Saturday.
Forlan, who won a Uruguayan record 82nd cap, ended a year without scoring for his country with his two goals and equalled the national record of 31 held by Hector Scarone.
Uruguay laid siege to the Paraguay goal from the start, winning four corners in the opening eight minutes with the defence clearing one chance following a header from Diego Lugano which was parried by Villar.
Paraguay created their first chance on the quarter hour when midfielder Enrique Vera's right cross to the far post was a bit too long and striker Nelson Haedo Valdez's effort went wide.
Past the half hour, Forlan had his first chance but Villar saved and minutes later Suarez hit the side-netting from a tight angle on the right.
Haedo Valdez volleyed Paraguay's best chance onto the bar from midfielder Nestor Ortigoza's chip forward early in the second half.
Ten minutes later, Paraguay right back Ivan Piris took a ball out wide and crossed low with keeper Fernando Muslera diving at centre back Paulo da Silva's feet to save.
Then Villar made a good save from midfielder Sebastian Eguren after taking a pass from fellow substitute Edinson Cavani.

Twin Spica
What do people think of Twin Spica, of those who've seen the first episode? I wasn't particularly looking forward to this series, but after watching it, it has become my favorite new series this season! I just found the story to be really touching. What do others think about it?

From the first episode, its about a little girl that sees a ghost wearing a lion mask, and the little girl decides she want's to go into space because of him (i think). The story will shift forward a few years for episode 2, so I have no idea how its going to turn out. But so far, its really nice.

I haven't had time to sit down and watched, but I just glanced at it after downloading it. The songs are catchy, but I especially love the ending song. It sounds more like the older (80's era) Japanese pop songs ala Mayumi Itsuwa style pop songs. Great stuff. I'll post later how I feel about it, but from the looks of it, I'll most definitely like it. Since, it's so refreshing to see lighthearted stories, especially dealing with reaching one's dreams.

I just finished watching it. I found it very nice. The animation in it was old-ish then the newer stuff. But I particulary like that. I think the Lion pulled me into it, and I also like Asumi's character.
I'll definitely keep up with this anime ^.^

Watched it now and really liked it.
The opening song is unusually nice and at least this episode had that kind of Ghibli cuteness Totoro also had (although I would newer compare the two in anything else).
If you sometimes cry watching anime you'll cry here.
The main character looks kind of plain which is a really nice break from all the "well make all girls look really cute but the we'll have to give one of them pink hair so you can tell them apart" girls in anime I've been watching lately.

Okay that ending song of Twin Spica really caught my attention and I knew I heard it a long time ago. Finally, found out who sung the song "Miagete Goran Yoru No Hoshi Wo" (Look At The Stars In The Night),well the one that I heard a long time ago. It's from Kyu Sakamoto. Sorry, this is off topic, but its hard to find anime that uses songs you normally don't see associated with anime. The director of Twin Spica has great taste. Anime-Fansubs, as well for picking up a great anime. You guys never disappoint.
Okay, its official this is my favorite anime to look forward to every week from all the new anime on Fall lineup. It's so sad! The box/Yuigahama Bay/ashes (you'll see when you watch it) and the Lion doll references were so SAD!

I didn't like it, I watched and found it incredibly boring. I just don't like these drama anime anymore, for me they're all the same. It could get better when she gets to space academy or something. I'll check back here again but for now I kicked it off my hard drive. There are better anime to waste my time with.

I was looking forward to this series as well, and it didn't disappoint. Can't wait until episode 2, where it looks like we'll really get into the main plot. I wonder if Yuuko will still be there...

This one suprised me, first it wasn't so intresting but then I almost cried in the end. I will watch two or three episode and then ultimately deside is this worth following, first episode showed potential thought...
To me Twin Spica is similar to Wings of Honneamise, both of them start at the main character's childhood and they both dream about traveling to space.

You guys are probably thinking how can I love Rob so much if I'd ditch him for Kellan lol. I have no idea why, but if Rob showed up with Kellan I'd probably be to intimidated to talk to him, or I'd start hyperventilating. Wise thing for me to do would be just grab Kellan and run to play football lol.
That's all I can think of, I have a boring life lol. Oh and as y'all can see I'm a "LOL" over user

Anyone else feel that Cata, more specifically Tiers 12 and 13, have been soul crushing?
Tier 11 – ooooo new raids! new gear! new bosses and 3 zones to playin!
Tier 12 – the raid environment does not feel epic, some of the boss fights were interesting, overall kind of too short as well.
Tier 13 – same raid size as Tier 12….with recycled environments….some wait…no interesting fights (well maybe spine).
I hate to admit it, I had more fun raiding in Wrath then I did in Cata. I cant quite put my finger on it but I guess I had something more to idenify with in killing the Lich King. Deathwing did nothing for me….sure he is a big bad evil dragon….but meh.
With MoP news coming out soon, I hope this will help brighten things up. But I really like the group of people our raid contains, if not for them I probably would cancel the account for WoW.
I feel like many others who have been playing MMOs for a while – you cant go back. I look back on FFXI kindly and wish in many ways MMOs were still old school. Where servers mattered and community mattered. I admit I like larger raids. But with recent times – convenience > old school things in my opinion. Companies are looking for their biggest gain and things like LFR, dungeon finder make it easier to get into MMOs. Smaller raids – lets face are easier to organize. Large raids are going to be a thing of ancient times.
Now in ToR….healing as a Bounty Hunter…I am not a real fan of it. It's tool box for healing feels like it is lacking something. All it really has it direct heals, no real oh crap button to speak of. Slow cast heal, medium cast, and really freakin cast heal. Slow heal – no CD, medium heal – 9 sec CD, fast heal – 20+ sec. Besides that there is a AOE missle healing spell thingee…max targets it can hit is 3…..small puddle on the ground which is supposed to heal people much like a druids spell…but I dont think it works properly. And it also looks like bad on the ground lol. Gear grind in TOR just like it is in WoW, so its quite easy to get geared up.
Healing in ToR feels like healing at the behinning of Cata for a fresh 50. Leveling up a Sorc to heal as it…cause they get bubbles, and from what I can tell a more diverse healing selections. MIxture of direct heals and some HoTs (per Sorak – so take that with a grain of salt)
Best thing about lvling in ToR is the story telling for the class quests, love them! The dialogue for the normal quests….not so much blech.
After the Sorc I will work on an imperial agent i think, or maybe make some more jedi! The good side. Why couldn't SR be jedi and not stinky imps…..

Young contender needs to look great, win against the seasoned Quintana
By: Mike Sloan: For DeAndre Latimore, he knows that a loss on May 5 is simply not an option. He's one of the most promising young contenders on the circuit but he feels as though his road to where he is could have been easier. He's been tripped up by a few stumbling blocks along the way and he insists that he's learned from the trials and tribulations of what it's like to be a young prizefighter.
Latimore (23-3, 17KOs) is scheduled to lock horns with another fighter whose career path is similar with his: Carlos Quintana. Latimore isn't the most visible fighter or skilled man that Quintana will have ever faced, and "The Bull" understands how capable an opponent the Puerto Rican is. Quintana (28-3, 22 KOs) has been in battles with the likes of Joel Julio, Paul Williams (twice), Andre Berto and Miguel Cotto and, like, Latimore, must win to stay alive in the title picture or at least in the sweepstakes for bigger, more lucrative fights.
Latimore has been training inLas Vegaswith new trainer Jeff Mayweather in preparation for this fight and he said that the veteran trainer has worked wonders for his arsenal.
"It's been great working with Jeff," he said at the open workouts for the media on Tuesday inside of Floyd Mayweather's gym. "I actually have someone who's bringing out the best in me."
Though he didn't want to reveal too much about his gameplan going into the fight with Quintana, Latimore did state that he expects the duel to be tougher than many might expect. He praised Quintana for what he's achieved in the ring and for whom he's tangoed with, but boldly expects to be the victor when it's all said and done.
"I know May 5 is going to be a tough fight, but people can expect to see fireworks," he said. "I expected to have my hand raised when it's all said and done."
That aura of confidence stems from what he said was an outstanding training camp. He said that working with the Mayweathers has been a blessing and switching promoters was the best thing that he's done. Before, he remarked, he felt like he was stuck in a rut and not being promoted or trained properly.
"Now that I'm with a promotional company that cares about me, my family, and what's best for my career," he stated. "The hard work and dedication is paying off. When I was working with Floyd, it wasn't easy at all. It was tough, but it was the best thing that could happen to me. He took me under his wing and now I'm going to take care of him by getting that victory on May 5."
Latimore claims that he's never felt better going into a fight and the confidence simply oozed from his pores when he climbed into the ring to workout for the media. He did a mock up of his regular routine and did pad work, shadow boxing, and some heavy bag pounding before calling it a day.
Latimore has always been a talented fighter with a plethora of potential but setbacks in the form of losses to Sechew Powell and Cory Spinks not only damaged his confidence, it nearly crippled whatever momentum he gathered in the eight consecutive wins following the first loss of his career; a third round KO courtesy of Ian Gardner.
But since his loss to Powell, theSt. Louisnative has won three straight, switched promoters and trainers and feels that he's just now beginning to reach his potential. Everything starts for him on the undercard of Mayweather-Cotto, the biggest fight of 2012 thus far and in front of the biggest audience in which Latimore will have ever fought. He says he's ready to begin Chapter 2 of his career and proclaims a huge win against Quintana, something he desperately needs if he's to be considered a legitimate threat to the elite of the junior middleweight division.

Too curvy to dance? (article)
One of the most frustrating aspects about curve-o-phobia is not just how it results in eating disorders and other desperately serious matters, but also how it can ruin a girl's quality of life even when she's trying to do something fun.
I still remember the case of pretty Ashley Kauffman, who attended an American Idol taping, only to be ejected from her front-row seat because she was deemed too curvy to appear on TV.
Now a news story out of Iowa is showing how that kind of anti-plus prejudice permeates even local entertainment.
The case in a nutshell:
The article comes with a picture of Miss Ramos. She's certainly "pretty enough," but she's also curvy, which is really what made the guards discriminate against her:
Now, it's true that there are more important things in the world than being able to dance on a platform at a bar, but that's not the point. The point is, she wanted to enjoy herself the way the underweight girls do, and the pervasive prejudice against curves stopped her.
Plus, it gets worse. This story has been picked up by the Daily Mail and ABC News, which filed the following report:
It adds an important extra wrinkle to the story:
And that is simply unjust. Whatever one thinks of Human Rights Commissions in general and their abuses, the bottom line is that if discrimination is illegal, then all discrimination must be illegal, including size discrimination. To say that some forms of discrimination are legal and others are not is unfair and immoral.
Furthermore, many cases of so-called "discrimination" are anything but, and are cases where complainants assert discrimination where none exists, and where exclusion happens for other reasons, justifiable ones, such as an absence of talent or ability. But in this case, the discrimination is clear and undeniable.
Once and for all, anti-plus bigotry must be ended. Now.

Re: Too curvy to dance? (article)
My first guess is the security guard has never seen or heard about Chloe Agnew, then he would understand that curvy girls are beautiful.
In any case, this is beyond immoral. This is a direct violation to the United States Constitution and our very right to freedom of expression, which is inexcusable. This must be stopped immediately.

Re: Too curvy to dance? (article)
In a testament to the power of bad publicity to move some companies to amend their anti-plus policies, the establishment that featured in this drama has apologized to Miss Ramos.
The pertinent points:
As Renata said, the issue is not whether this particular battle is such a significant one, or whether the goal was meritorious.
The point is, this is a case of blatant size discrimination, and it was ended through the power of the press -- which, for once, was on the right side, and used its power for good.
Now, the question immediately becomes: Why did the bad publicity compel this establishment to change its policies, whereas similar outcries have had no effect on the fashion industry?
Simple. This establishment makes its money off its patrons, so it can't afford to alienate them.
Fashion magazines, on the other hand, make their money off of advertisers, not readers. So unless those advertisers exert pressure to stop curve-o-phobia, the fashion world will continue to discriminate against full-figured women.
At any rate, while this may have been a small victory, it was a victory nonetheless, and will hopefully inspire other curvy girls to combat weight bigotry wherever they see it.

The aircraft flew exactly as we expected - no surprises. The fuel works so well, all I needed to do was fly the plane.
- U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Tom Weaver, after flying demonstration flight fueled by camelina-based biojet fuel on April 22, 2010.
Nearly 12 million barrels a day. That's how much foreign oil we import in America.
Meanwhile, farm input costs continue to increase.
Sustainable Oils was created to address both challenges. The company develops new crops that produce oil here at home. As ingenious and industrious as our farmers, Sustainable Oils focuses on crops that use less moisture and fewer inputs to give growers the opportunity to produce a profitable crop even on marginal land.
Camelina is just such a crop, a unique oilseed that takes little moisture but is well-suited for biofuel production.
Our commitment to research enables our success and yours. We've built North America's largest camelina research program with field testing locations across the U.S. and Canada to improve camelina yield, oil characteristics and agronomic practices.
Sustainable Oils has also led efforts to build a sustainable camelina industry for growers and end-users. We've built a network of growers, seed producers and dealers and established protocols for crop management, seed production and oil processing. We've worked with industry partners to build markets for camelina meal and developed partnerships to serve the exciting new aviation biofuels market.
Explore our site or contact us to learn more about camelina and production contracts.
Sustainable Oils is acquired by Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTC.BB:GCEH)
Global Clean Energy acquires leading Camelina company Sustainable Oils, LLC. The acquisition significantly expands Global's portfolio of non-food based feedstocks to include the only novel energy crop approved by the EPA for RIN generation under the RFS.Read the complete story.

The Heart of the Sunshine Coast
Nestled in the heart of the dreamily named Sunshine Coast, Mooloolaba is a former sleepy surf town that has recently become a popular beach destination. In fact, it was even featured on the popular reality TV series The Amazing Race.
Mooloolaba Beach is one of the most famous and popular beaches on Australia's east coast, so no visit would be complete without a trip to bury your toes in the powdery-white sand. Take to the water in a cruise on the canals, snorkeling in the sea, or diving with sharks. Head inland to swim in one of the secluded waterfalls in the area, and take in the tranquility that surrounds you.
Dine on world-class cuisine at the Mooloolaba Esplanade area overlooking the beach. Prawns are by far the most famous dish here, and whether you throw them on the barbie, sauté them in garlic and butter, or enjoy them in a fusion taco, you'll be tempted to go back for seconds.
And no journey to Mooloolaba would be complete without a visit to the world-famous Australia Zoo, made famous by the late Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin. With lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!) there are all kinds of exotic creatures to see.

hello all , first off im sorry to post on here , but im at my whits end , im trying to acquire some farm land to do some metal detecting on in the northamptonshire area , i have asked where i live and not had any joy , as they are mostly very rude , i understand that us detectorists have a bad name but my friend and i have 35 years experience between us of detecting and we know to be responsible with it , we are both insured in case any thing goes wrong ( to date it never has ) , we dig to a usual depth of 4-5 inches and extract the object , and we always make sure our hole is filled in completely , so really you wouldnt notice where we had been , we have had some fantastic finds over the years and we are both avid historians of the local area and would love the chance to find a farm we could detect on , and also to proove that not all detectorists are a nuisance , if the day ever came where we found something of real value we would of course go 50/50 with the land owner , other finds we would be willing to show at the end of a day and anything the landowner took a shine to we would of course hand it over if he/she wanted it , its mainly for the pleasure of the hobby , bad detectorists have given us all a bad name which is a shame as a vast majority of us are sensible and follow the rules , any rubbish we find along the way would be collected up and disposed of , and equally if any damage to extrerior fences is seen we would inform the landowner asap so measures to correct it could be taken , also we would help out if needed . please could any lovely farm owner help us out please please please !!!!
secondly i think i may have posted this in the wrong section so please forgive me as im a newbie to the forum.!!

Next Meetup
What we're about
Meet Vegans near Teaneck, northern Bergen county. Discuss veganism or the weather. Share your favorite (or least) 'V'ecipes and make, (or offend) new friends. We'll meet at Veggie Heaven in Teaneck, hopefully once a week. after meals there will be board / card games nearby. potlucks, group cooking opportunities, movies, and group video rentals are options. None obligatory. The group welcomes vegans, vegetarians, and raw foodists.
Carnivores / Veggie Curious are welcome, but heckling the herd with yarns of animal targetry will result in C/V/C finding themselves face to face with a table of foaming vegans, many of whom may be animal rights activists, and it is these such circumstances that underscore the ACT in activist.
In the unlikely event that such should transpire, I myself, being a pacifist, will hide under the table.
Seriously, the worst that could happen is someone deviously, inadvertently puts the sizzling tofu platter too close and the heckler gets their eyebrows singed off.
As evident by the intro, the only other prerequisite aside from dietary adherence, is a sense of humor. Those lacking will not be humored.
Here's looking forward to a good humored meal.

Tabasco for Any Requirement
Corporate chef and a steward of the brand, Jason Gronlund heats up palates worldwide with Tabasco.
Long-term trends toward bold flavors and ethnic cuisine have been a boon for Avery Island, La.-based McIlhenny Co., which has a Tabasco pepper sauce for everyone's taste buds and every recipe's requirements.
If you want to develop a hot, spicy or ethnic product, jazz up an existing formulation, or create a new taste sensation in either retail or foodservice, the person to talk to is innovative, articulate and lively Jason Gronlund, McIlhenny's corporate executive chef, Culinarian, director of ingredient sales and culinary services -- quite a mouthful to be sure.
You can track Tabasco's success in being on trend beginning with the original Tabasco Pepper Sauce, to Tabasco Green Pepper Sauce, Tabasco Garlic Pepper Sauce, Tabasco Habanero Pepper Sauce to its newest Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce and the ethnic recipes McIlhenny provides on its website www.tabascofoodservice.com.
Chef Gronlund's love of cooking began at the age of 12 in his family's catering business. He attended West Bay Vocational School in North Kingston, R.I., and studied culinary arts in his junior and senior years of high school. Upon graduation, he served in the U.S. Army, where he cooked at the post commander's mess for two years. He ran the successful Rattle Fish restaurant in Tampa, Fla., and has been part of McIlhenny's team for eight years, steering a course between his office, lab, kitchen and visiting customers around the world.
JG: We take a strategic, rather than shotgun approach. We don't have a large R&D department like Kraft Foods or General Mills, which might have 15 chefs who can target the Top 100 accounts. We go by interest level at the time vs. going out and beating on doors. Whether domestic or international, we always have enough work to keep us going. Rather than throwing a product against the wall to see if it sticks, the work I do is in depth -- a lot of pre-work by looking at the layout of the customer's kitchen, current menu mix and whether there's a station in the kitchen that's currently overloaded. Let's say a restaurant has 80 percent fry capacity, but only 60 percent grill capacity. It's better to develop a grill item, rather than overload the fry station. I look at the skill set of the people executing the product, and what the current pantry contains. Are they looking at any other proteins or secondary items in a new item? What have they done in the past, what's worked, what hasn't? What do their consumers like? What flavor profiles have worked well for them and what should we avoid?
Once I funnel through all that information, it gives me a clear, more concise approach. I'll come up with 20 or so ideations, and the client picks the top 10 they like. We then come in, present the products and talk about how they fit into the current menu. Unless they tell me otherwise, everything I do is pantry development -- taking everything they have within their structure and making something else out of it. It helps them operationally, because they don't have to worry about new SKUs. If you come in with a new recipe with five new SKUs, and the customer has 400 chain units, it makes it much more difficult for them to execute the product.
When we demo the products, we also talk about how it is going to fit into their operations -- how it will be prepped, executed, held and garnished. We demo it on their flatware or whatever they serve it on. We did a project with Sonic, and served the food on a plastic tray wrapped in their paper. They could see how their consumer would open and interface with the product, vs. us serving it on a nice garnished plate - or what we call heroing the product. Our strategy is to provide R&D for no charge, and hope eventually it will turn into additional case sales. Even though I'm a Culinarian and chef, I have sales responsibility as well. On the culinary side, my job is to increase case sale consumption.
JG: We have a whole line of separate products for industrial use. Tabasco comes in all liquid forms in 50 gallon and 320 gallon containers. We also have Red and Green Tabasco in powdered form, Red Tabasco in paste form, and two intermediate moisture products -- Tabasco pulp, which is the meat of the Tabasco pepper, and Processor's Blend, which is more pepper skin. We have crushed pepper, which is a dried Processor's Blend. There are many formats for processors, created for specific needs. For example, in the breading process, you can't use the regular liquid blend, so we developed the dry Red Tabasco blend for breading applications. The paste form, which I created a while back, is for dressing sauce applications. If you use the liquid Red, trying to deal with the amount of vinegar makes it difficult. Our Tabasco paste, which looks like tomato paste, has less liquid vinegar in it and more pepper solids, so it gives you a more fermented flavor and chili flavor because it's concentrated, hitting about 35,000 on the Scoville scale (measured heat), vs. 4,000 for the liquid. I work on gold standard recipes for formulation and work with manufacturers to get them to consumers. My sales responsibility includes managing our ingredient broker network. On the menu side, I work on those globally. Last year, I worked with Pizza Hut Korea, Pizza Hut Belgium, Pizza Hut UK, and Quick, a chain of quick-serve restaurants in Paris. In Australia, I've worked with Domino's Pizza and in Tokyo with Global Dining. They have two concepts called Zest Cantina and Tex Mex. We did a complete reformat on their products. We also worked on La Boheme, an Italian pasta concept. They wanted some proteins that could be done between a brick oven and sauté.

Mali troops in house-to-house search for Gao militants
Malian troops are carrying out house-to-house searches following running battles with Islamist militants in the northern town of Gao on Sunday.
There are fears some fighters could be hiding among the population, the BBC's Thomas Fessy reports from Gao.
He said Gao was calmer now following Sunday's surprise attack by militants on Malian troops in the town.
Islamist militants were driven out of Gao two weeks ago in an offensive by French and Malian troops.
But they are reported to have re-entered the town using wooden boats to cross the Niger River, and re-grouped in a building they had previously used as the headquarters of the Islamic police.
French bombing
Sunday's fighting lasted for about four hours. Suspected suicide bombers reportedly tried to reach the positions of the Malian army, while other militants were said to be riding with explosives on motorcycles around town.
It was only when the troops came under fire from heavier weaponry, including rocket-propelled grenades, that French troops sent in armoured vehicles and attack helicopters to provide back-up, our correspondent says.
The police station was bombed by a French combat helicopter overnight.
France said only a dozen extremist fighters had taken part in Sunday's clashes and it is not known whether any of them were killed.
Three civilians died of their injuries at the hospital, where family members went to collect the bodies.
Nine others, as well as two Malian soldiers are being treated for bullet wounds.
The city's main market remained closed on Monday, following the violence.
Two checkpoints in Gao were hit by suicide bomb attacks on Friday and Saturday.
The Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (Mujao) has claimed responsibility for the weekend's violence.
On Saturday, Mujao spokesman Abou Walid Sahraoui said: "We are dedicating ourselves to carrying out more attacks against France and its allies."
France sent some 4,000 troops into northern Mali on 11 January to help the Malian army oust the militants from several towns they had taken over.
They had met with little resistance until the recent attacks in Gao.

for starters in 10 knots I am happily plaining and jumping
in 29knots? are you MAD? no way dude.
TeabagVic wrote:Do not buy the 15m !!!
Because of these 2 things you said:
*** I've only used LEI kites in the past and typically don't much enjoy any of them larger than 12m. ***
***(I am 70 kg/150lb)***
Also that you would use it with a surf board or a decent light wind twin tip.
In most place I prefer the 12m over the 15m obviously. I only prefer the 15m in lifty/lofty spots, there is one in my area. (I guess the cliff make the wind go upward and it is super fun with a big kite)
What I dont understand in Alexrider video is that he has the depower line depower at aproximately 40%-60%. At his weight, it is almost impossible that the wind is only 10 knots using all that depower. His jump would have been quite higher if he had remove the depower to power and edge more to hold more power.
Agree with the previous spot, there is 2 knots difference in regard to low end.
200 lbs, My 15m and Spleene Door and windmeter on the beach:
13 kts: Figthing to stay upwind, have to work kite
14 kts: Not fighting anymore, but not fun
15-16Kts: Same as 14kts but start little jumps
17-20 kts: Medium Jumps, might switch to smaller board
21-22 kts: Medium, almost big Jumps w door or small board (start using depower on Door)
23-26 kts: ~ Big jumps+, small board, use from 20%-60% depower. (I might switch to 12m)
27-29 kts: Big Jumps++, use 60%-90% depower. Will definitively switch to 12m Speed3 in most area. Might stay on the 15m if in that Lifty\Lofty wind spot and the wind/forecast is stable.
For your 150 lbs, I would remove aproximately 3-4 knots from above, but then I dont think that there could be any pull in the kite at 9-10 kts. (from my windmeter measurment, cold wind/temperature)
(P.S, I really, really enjoy riding overpower.)

SKC tests shutout streak against DCU
Kansas City, KS – Sporting Kansas City will put its stout defensive form on the line when the club faces D.C. United at Sporting Park on Friday.
Kansas City, boasting a 2-1-2 record through its first five games of the season, has not conceded a goal since falling to Toronto FC by a 2-1 score on March 9.
The shutout streak reached 339 minutes following the club's 2-0 defeat of the Montreal Impact last time out, but goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen was quick to downplay its importance.
"That streak doesn't really matter," said Nielsen. "All that matters is winning.
"We had an outstanding performance [against Montreal]. It was so attractive; it was so sexy to watch. I was so proud. It's the best soccer we've played since I came here. As a team and individually, the only word for it is 'outstanding.'"
The victory saw Claudio Bieler notch his third goal in five games, his first since netting in each of Sporting's opening two matches of the season.
Graham Zusi bagged the other goal to cap an impressive month that included a tour with the United States national team for World Cup qualifiers.
"He's playing with a lot of confidence, but he's also a very good player," Sporting head coach Peter Vermes said of Zusi. "His game is definitely evolving, and the confidence is allowing him to do some of the things that he's progressed in on the field."
While Sporting enters the weekend in positive spirits, D.C. was left humbled by a 2-1 loss to the Columbus Crew at RFK Stadium last weekend. It was the club's first home loss in league play since the opening day of the 2012 season, which was a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Sporting.
"I don't think there's been good enough progression right now," said United head coach Ben Olsen. "But we've had some things to deal with. We've had some injuries and call-ups as an excuse, I suppose, and we've got some new guys fitting in - Rafael [on Saturday] and [Dwayne De Rosario] in a new position.
"I'm not overly alarmed. I don't like what's going on right now, the last two games in particular. But I do think that we have some new pieces and we are still finding out who we are, even though we have a lot of the same guys."
Bill Hamid continued his fine start to the season by making seven saves against Columbus. His season tally of 20 stops ranks him second in MLS behind Chivas USA's Dan Kennedy, who has produced 23 saves.
"We're asking a lot of Bill Hamid right now," said Olsen. "He's a monster. And I wish I didn't have to see him make so many great saves."

Regarding Clauses of Purpose, M&F rattles on about Primary and Secondary Tenses and how the verbs in the independent and dependent clauses always go toghether with their counterparts. In contrast, my Wheelock text makes no distinction toward that whatsoever, and makes the subject MUCH simpler. Does this tense-dividing matter much?
For example, M&F diffrentiates how the Perfect tense is used in both categories, i.e. perfect in the Primary Sequence translates in English as "XX has XXed" and in the Secondary Sequence simply"XX Xxed".
Can anyone clear this up for me?
p.s. The vocab notes says that Pugnare with Cum means fight AGAINST. Then how does one say fight with, as allies?

Burrillville holds off Vets
The jump shot Burrillville's Ben Girard made late in Friday's game at Warwick Vets wasn't the most famous shot he hit last week. On Tuesday, Girard made a three-quarter court heave at the halftime buzzer against Juanita Sanchez, and video of the play was featured on ESPN's SportsCenter.
But the Friday shot will certainly stick with Vets a little more.
With a defender in his face, Girard rolled in the shot from the top of the key to give the Broncos a 43-42 lead with 1:19 left. Vets didn't score again and Burrillville won 45-42.
"That was a huge shot," said Burrillville coach Kevin Randall. "It's been a big week for him. We were worried about distractions and having a letdown, but we found a way to dig it out."
The victory was the fifth straight for the Broncos, who improved to 9-5.
For Vets, which fell to 4-10, it was another frustrating loss. In the last two weeks, the 'Canes have posted important wins over Scituate and Mount St. Charles – but they've also lost winnable games to Davies and now Burrillville.
"We beat a good Scituate team and then we lost to Davies," said head coach Chris LeBlanc. "This was a winnable game and it was close all the way through. I think the kids are happy that it was close but they wanted to win. We couldn't get over the hump. It's something you have to expect when you've got a young team."
Both teams struggled mightily from the field in the early going of Friday's game, combining for just 18 points in the first 12 minutes. But Vets caught fire late in the half, converting five turnovers into a 10-0 run. The 'Canes went to the break leading 19-14.
Early in the second half, it looked like the 'Canes would stay in control. They weathered a 6-0 burst from the Broncos and took a 26-22 lead when Will Remak buried a pull-up three with 9:46 left.
Soon after, it was Burrillville's turn to heat up. David Reynolds scored down low with 9:35 left, touching off a 10-0 run for the Broncos. Vets missed four shots and had a turnover in that span.
The Broncos led 32-26.
"The biggest key was we stopped trading buckets with them – we were scoring and we were getting stops defensively," Randall said. "We know they have some shooters. We knew that coming in, and we knew we had to get some stops. We started hitting the shots and getting the stops. That stretch when we were getting stops defensively – that was the difference."
The 'Canes still didn't back down. A three by Remak with 4:19 left made it a three-point game, and Burrillville committed turnovers on its next three possessions. The 'Canes only took advantage of the last one, with Danny Greaves scoring in the post to make it a one-point game.
After a bucket by Reynolds, Carter Thomas hit a pull-up 15-footer to make it 41-40. Remak then intercepted a bad pass and pushed it ahead to Scott Camara, who finished a layup to give Vets a 42-41 lead with 1:55 left.
Unfortunately for the 'Canes, that was the end of the line. With the shot clock running down on Burrillville's next possession, Girard dribbled to the circle, got off a tough shot and watched it rattle in for the 43-42 lead.
"At halftime, we said weather the storm," Randall said. "It's a tough road game but we just had to keep executing. We did and we hit some big shots down the stretch."
The 'Canes couldn't match those shots. Tim Hogan missed a tough shot in the lane on Vets' next trip. After a miss by the Broncos, Vets committed a turnover with 29 seconds left.
Reynolds gave Vets new life when he missed an early shot on Burrillville's next possession, but Thomas had a leaner in the lane blocked with 11 seconds left. Steven McCormack then hit a layup on the press break with three seconds left to make it 45-42.
Camara's half-court heave at the buzzer caromed off the rim.
"Basketball is a game of runs," LeBlanc said. "They had that run and we didn't. We had a couple of good shots, but we missed those shots."
Remak led all scorers with 13 points, Thomas scored 10 and Kyle Agin tallied eight. Greaves had six and Camara had five off the bench.
Reynolds led a balanced Burrillville attack with 12 points, and Isaiah DeSilva scored 10.
The 'Canes will try to get back on track this week, but it won't be easy. They'll visit unbeaten North Smithfield tonight before taking on Toll Gate, who's 8-6.
"We're trying to scratch out wins any way we can," LeBlanc said.

It's over.
The Eagles' chances of making the playoffs.
Donovan McNabb's career in Philadelphia.
Andy Reid's ability to call plays, win games, etc.
It's all over.
That's what you're going to hear this week in quadrophonic stereo.
All the people who know everything are going to tell you it's over. Time for a new coach, time for a new quarterback, time to move on.
And they might all be right. Any and all reason for hope seemingly vanished Sunday in Cincinnati.
The Bengals played exactly the way you'd expect a 1-8 team to play and the Eagles played exactly like the Bengals.
Why should anyone believe in a football team, a coach or a quarterback that couldn't beat a team that did everything it could to lose?
Before you pull the plug, however, there is one thing to remember: Sometimes weird stuff happens in professional sports.
In their 11th game a year ago, the New York Giants lost 41-17 at home to the 4-6 Minnesota Vikings, falling to 7-4. Quarterback Eli Manning threw three interceptions that day and they were all returned for touchdowns. It's hard to imagine the Giants sitting up at the Meadowlands the following Monday plotting the design of their Super Bowl rings.
There are more stories like that one from this decade, too.
Pittsburgh lost its last two games in November and its first in December to fall to 7-5 in 2005. Had they lost again, they wouldn't have made the playoffs. They didn't lose again.
The 2000 Baltimore Ravens went five straight October games without scoring a touchdown and were 5-4 after nine games and they, too, won a Super Bowl.
When the Phillies lost two out of three in Florida in mid-September and slipped two games behind the Mets and four behind Milwaukee in the wildcard race, were more people plotting a parade down Broad Street or manager Charlie Manuel's firing?
After watching the Eagles in Cincinnati, there's no reason to believe they can duplicate those unlikely runs above. No reason at all.
But it is a dangerous business to declare something is over before it's actually over.

Multicultural Center
The Western Colorado University Multicultural Center
What is the Western difference?
At Western, students have a place to gather with others from similar backgrounds, along with a support system that helps them reach their potentials as students and as people. That place is the Multicultural Center in the University Center at the heart of campus.
A quarter of Western's freshman class identified themselves as nonwhite, making the class of 2018 the university's most diverse ever. Sally Romero, director of Multicultural Affairs at Western, points proudly to the university's freshman retention rate, which since 2008 has increased 27 percentage points to more than 70 percent.
Romero says that success results from comfort and acceptance – of all students. While the Multicultural Center focuses on students of color, about 30 percent of students who participate in center activities are white.
"We find that barriers break down when students come together in a comfortable atmosphere," she says. "They come between classes, before classes, for five minutes and for hours," Romero says. "They eat, relax and catch up with each other. It's a family atmosphere, as well as a support system."
Most importantly, it's a point of connection. Romero says it can be hard for students of color to find support on a predominantly white campus. Help is there, but they don't always know where or how to find it. "Here, they make connections with people who are similar to them. The center is a home away from home. They know they can express opinions and know they are valued. We help build self-esteem. … If they don't connect, feel valued that first semester, we can lose them."
Richard Herrera, program coordinator for Multicultural Affairs and a Western alumnus, said that point of connection is key for students of color, many of whom are first-generation college students who come from backgrounds and homes that can't offer the support students need.
"It's hard to reach out," Herrera said, "but the center reached out for me. ... It gives students a collective sense of belonging, of mattering. Someone on campus believes in them and believes they are in the right place."
The list of services the center offers is long. It includes peer support, mentoring, counseling, leadership training, academic support and extracurricular support. Faculty reach out to center staff, and the staff reaches out to all areas of the campus in their efforts to help students succeed.
"We see ourselves as advocates for students," Romero says. "Our motto is: 'Where Everybody Belongs.'"
Multicultural organizations
The center advises four student organizations – Amigos, Asian Pacific Islanders, the Black Student Alliance and the Native American Student Council. To come under the Multicultural Center umbrella, the groups commit to community service and offering cultural events. Participation offers students a chance to develop budgeting, fundraising, organizational and communication skills.
Amigos promotes Latin American culture and works to establish positive feelings toward Latin Americans, both on campus and in the Gunnison community. Most importantly, it provides a place where members, regardless of age, ethnicity or gender, feel welcomed and encouraged to participate.
Asian Pacific Islanders Club
Asian Pacific Islanders promotes Asian and Pacific Island cultures and seeks to educate club members, their peers and the community about those cultures. It aims to create a warm and welcoming environment for all peoples.
Black Student Alliance
The Black Student Alliance seeks to educate the community about the history and ongoing struggles of the black community, as well as to promote understanding of black culture. It also tries to spread unity, diversity and fellowship, and embrace all walks of life in and around the campus.
Native American Student Council
The Native American Student Council seeks to enhance educational experiences for the Western and Gunnison communities, while providing a supportive environment for indigenous students. The council also strives to promote a responsible representation of historical and contemporary Native American culture through discussions and by providing a forum for students seeking understanding, awareness and appreciation.

New Zealand fast bowler Tim Southee grabbed three early wickets to leave Sri Lanka in trouble on the second day of the opening Test in Galle on Sunday.
Southee removed opener Tharanga Paranavitana and nightwatchman Suraj Randiv in his opening two overs, followed by Thilan Samaraweera.
Paceman Trent Boult put more pressure on Sri Lanka when he had Kumar Sangakkara (five) caught by Brendon McCullum at third slip to leave the hosts reeling on 20-4.
Sri Lanka recovered somewhat to go for lunch on 105-5 in their first innings in reply to the tourists' 221.
Skipper Mahela Jayawardene was unbeaten on 37 at the break with Angelo Mathews 23 not out. The pair have so far added 55.
Kiwi paceman Southee rocks Sri Lanka
New Zealand fast bowler Tim Southee grabbed three early wickets to leave Sri Lanka in trouble on the second day of the opening Test in Galle on Sunday.
Sri Lanka added 96 to their overnight total of 9-1 in a morning session dominated by the New Zealand pacemen.
Southee, who trapped debutant opener Dimuth Karunaratne leg-before for a duck on Saturday, struck with his fourth delivery on Sunday when he bowled Paranavitana for no score.
He got the third wicket in his next over, having Randiv caught by Martin Guptill at second slip after the batsman had added just six runs to his overnight score of three.
Southee had a chance to get another wicket, but skipper Ross Taylor reacted late at first slip to an edge from Samaraweera when the batsman was on seven.
But he did not have to wait long for his fourth, trapping Samaraweera (17) leg-before when the batsman offered no stroke to a delivery that came in.
New Zealand opener Brendon McCullum (68) and middle-order batsman Daniel Flynn (53) scored half-centuries on Saturday, while left-arm spinner Rangana Herath bagged five wickets for 65 for Sri Lanka.

It's time for the laws on child abuse to protect kids, not institutions.
The chilling findings of the Bronx District Attorney investigation into three decades of abuse at the Horace Mann School is a watershed for the State of New York and for the cause of reforming America's immoral statutes of limitations laws on child sex abuse.
"Child sex abuse thrived at Horace Mann because there was a culture of protecting the reputation of the school, instead of protecting vulnerable students," said Mai Fernandez, Executive Director of the National Center for Victims of Crime.
"It is no longer acceptable that our laws do the same: protect reputations not children."
"The onus is now on the Horace Mann School to allow independent investigators to pursue the truth about how sex abuse was enabled and covered up at one of America's most prestigious schools," she said.
"There is renewed pressure on our law-makers to step up for children and their families, and not hide behind powerful vested interests."
For three decades, students at the Horace Mann School suffered a systematic pattern of sexual abuse by teachers, according to a ten month-long investigation by the Bronx District Attorney's office. 60 people were interviewed and at least 25 victims and a dozen abusers were identified.
Despite finding that the pattern of abuse - which went from 1962 to as late as 1996 - went even beyond that alleged in an article in the New York Times Magazine last June, none of the alleged offenders will be prosecuted, because all allegations are beyond the State's statute of limitations.
"Unforgivable is that this culture of lies and cover-ups tore apart families, and denied sufferers of abuse the support they needed from both professionals and their own communities," Fernandez said. Many victims thought they were the only one, and it is only after a lifetime of pain and failed relationships, that they discovered that others suffered too."
The National Center for Victims of Crime has been campaigning across the nation for States to pass the Child Victims Act and end the statute of limitations for child sex abuse.
