Archaeologist and AAA Executive Board member
Hosted by AAA President Virginia R. Dominguez, "Inside the President's Studio" features interviews with anthropologists about their ideas, research and passions. It is part of an ongoing effort to foster public, visible and active engagement with anthropologists. Become a part of the conversation by reading and listening to the interviews, adding your comments to the blog, and suggesting people or topics for future pieces.
This month's guest is archaeologist and AAA Executive Board member TJ Ferguson. He talks about growing up in a military family, his attraction to archaeology, his work with tribal groups in identifying and protecting heritage sites and historic places, the urgent need for anthropologists trained in preservation activities and the state of applied anthropology within the association, among other topics.
TJ's written answers are copied below:
(1) What are you passionate about, and how long has this been a passion of yours?
I've been passionate about the Sonoran Desert for as long as I've lived in Arizona. I'm fortunate to live in an area adjacent to the Saguaro National Park in Tucson, and I love sitting on my porch and enjoying the colors and sounds of the desert as the sun rises or night falls.
(2) I noticed that your college degree is from the University of Hawai'i at Hilo. Did you grow up in Hawai'i or somehow decide to go to college in Hilo? Is that where you first became committed to matters of land claims, historic and cultural preservation, and the role of archaeology in all of them?
I came of age in Hawaii, and went to high school and college there. My father was a career military officer, and I moved to Oahu when I was a freshman in high school. When I was a junior in college, I transferred from the main campus of the University of Hawaii in Honolulu to the Hilo College on the Big Island. During my senior year I became interested in archaeology, and my plan was to attend the University of Arizona for professional training and then return to Polynesia. After earning a Masters Degree at the University of Arizona in 1976, however, I took my first job working for the Pueblo of Zuni, and it is there that I became interested in historic preservation, land claims, and cultural preservation. At Arizona, we were taught that archaeology is anthropology or it is nothing, and working for an Indian tribe enabled me to put all my anthropological training into practice. When I left Zuni, I returned to graduate school at the University of New Mexico, where I earned a Masters of Regional and Community Planning and Ph.D. in Anthropology. Then one project led to another, and I ended up staying in the Southwest where I've been privileged to work on a series of intellectually interesting and personally rewarding anthropological projects.
(3) When did you establish Anthropological Research LLC, your research company in Tucson, Arizona, and why? Setting up a company always entails a good level of risk and many small businesses fail within the first year. What made you incur the risk in the first place and would you do it again now knowing what you know that you didn't at the time?
I established Anthropological Research, LLC, in 2001. Prior to that, I had a business partnership with Roger Anyon, and we operated a company called Heritage Resources Management Consultants, LLC. I've been working in the private sector since 1995. Until I accepted a half-time position as a Professor of Practice at the University of Arizona, I worked from a home office, which I find productive and which lowers the overhead of a business. There really wasn't much risk in starting a business. We've never had to market our services; people have come to us to request our assistance with research projects. I organized Anthropological Research as a limited liability company, which means anyone who sues me can have the assets in my business bank account but they can't take my wife's house. I'm interested in doing full-time research, so I try to operate without employees so I don't have to spend time on personnel management and other administrative tasks. The risks of being in business are reduced by maintaining adequate operating funds and only drawing money out of the company when I need to meet personal expenses or pay taxes.
(4) What makes you mad?
I get mad at myself when I do stupid things but we don't need to get into that.
(5) Many of your clients are American Indian/Native American communities. What kinds of projects do you do for them, and are there kinds of projects you would not take on or that they have explicitly asked you not to take on?
I primarily work for Indian tribes but my clients also include federal agencies and museums. My practice includes three research areas: (1) collecting information about traditional cultural properties for historic preservation, (2) documenting cultural affiliation for the implementation of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, and (3) researching historical questions related to land and water rights litigation. I practice a form of community based participatory research, and the only projects I won't take on are those that won't provide the funding and research opportunities needed to enable communities to accomplish their goals. None of the tribes I work for have ever asked me not to do a project. Instead they often ask me to assist them with developmental projects that are controversial—pipelines, coal mines, and such—because they want to collect the information needed to manage tribal heritage resources as effectively as possible.
(6) You strike me as a thoughtful, organized, and practical person. Some people might say that those are the perfect attributes of a practicing anthropologist, while others might think that a practical person would prefer an anthropological career that is 100% in the academy (and includes the possibility of tenure). Are these the perfect attributes of a practicing anthropologist? Do you think this list of mine describes you at all, and does it have anything to do with why you chose to be a practicing anthropologist?
Along with thoughtful, organized, and practical, you need to add hard working and intellectually innovative to the list of attributes of successful practicing anthropologists. For most of my career I've wanted to do full-time research, and working in the private sector allowed me to do that. In contrast, university professors typically spend only 40% of their time doing % research, with the rest devoted to teaching and service. In 2007 I accepted a half-time appointment as a Professor of Practice at the University of Arizona, which is an untenured position designed to bring people who primarily work in the community into the university. I'm now enjoying teaching and sharing my knowledge of how to do archaeology as applied anthropology with the next generation of anthropologists. I'm still adjusting my work schedule in my private business with my responsibilities as a professor but I now enjoy best of both worlds.
(7) Have you ever thought of running for public office (and I mean outside the national anthropological and archaeological associations)? If so, which office might actually appeal to you and why? Do recent political and legislative actions in your home state of Arizona make you consider running now?
I did run for public office when I lived at the Pueblo of Zuni, and I was elected to serve on the first School Board for a new public school district whose boundaries coincided with reservation. I was recruited to run for this position by the Zunis I worked with. I don't have children so it was very illuminating to immerse myself in how schools operate, and the challenges of primary and secondary education. Right now I devote all the time I have to my research, and I'm not interested in running for public office. Given the current partisan politics that characterize both Arizona and the United States as a whole, I don't think I'd make a very effective politician. I'm more interested in solving problems than trying to aggrandize political power for one party or another.
(8) What makes you smile? Are these generally everyday things that give you pleasure or far rarer aspects of life?
I smile a lot watching the antics of our four cats as they play and run around our house. I also greatly enjoy the everyday pleasures of life, including good food, wine, and jazz.
(9) At this year's Annual Meetings of the Society for American Archaeology, I discovered that you have been vegan for decades. Is there any connection between the kind of archaeology you chose to do when you joined the profession and your decision years ago to be vegan?
I don't think there is any relation between the archaeology I do and my diet. I don't eat meat, and while I don't do faunal analysis myself, I certainly appreciate what it can tell us about the lives peopled lived in the past. If anything, being a vegetarian creates challenges in working with indigenous communities in trying to explain one's ethical choices about diet while being an appreciative guest at feasts.
(10) What is something that only your closest friends and loved ones know about you (but that you are now willing to share)?
I like to follow professional surfing now that the major surf contests are broadcast on the Internet. I surfed when I lived in Hawaii, and while I now live far from an ocean, I can still appreciate the flow of waves well ridden.
(11) What did you think you'd be doing in your 40-50s when you were 17? Does it make you smile to remember that? Sad? Inspired? Amused?
When I was 17 I don't think I ever thought about what I would be doing thirty years later. The philosophy at the time was "Be Here Now" – to live in the moment. Life for me just keeps getting better and better, so thinking back to my youth now amuses me and makes me smile. As Bob Dylan sang in the '60s, "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."
(12) You are an active member of the Society for American Archaelogy and the American Anthropological Association. Does one feel more like an intellectual home and the other a professional home? Or perhaps one more like family and the other more like one's country? Does something else describe the difference?
The SAA and AAA are complementary organizations for me and they both serve my intellectual and professional interests. I love learning about things I know nothing about, so I enjoy going to the annual meeting of the AAA because I always learn something new given the diverse theory and content people discuss at the meeting. I enjoy the annual meetings of the SAA because it is a chance to interact with my friends among the 6,000 archaeologists who don't belong to the AAA. Any organization is what the members make of it, and I do committee work in both the AAA and SAA to try and make the organizations more relevant to the needs of the growing number of people employed outside of universities.
(13) When was the last time you stood up at a concert, lecture hall, or public event and gave someone a standing ovation (or wanted to say BRAVO)? What was the occasion, and what made you so satisfied, moved, inspired, or appreciative to elicit that reaction?
I was one of hundreds of archaeologists who stood and gave Patty Jo Watson a long, standing ovation when she received a Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Dr. Watson is a fine scholar, an outstanding anthropologist, and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. She is modest and unassuming for someone who has accomplished as much as she has in her lifetime. Dr. Watson provides a perfect model for a scholar, and it felt good to be able to cheer her for receiving the professional recognition she so justly deserves.
(14) Is there a question you wish I had asked but didn't?
Yes. You are calling from Fort Apache. What are you doing there this summer?
Fort Apache is a heritage site maintained by the White Mountain Apache Tribe. I was invited by the tribe's museum director, Dr. Karl Hoerig, to be a faculty mentor at a three-year ethnographic field school funded as an NSF REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) being run cooperatively by the White Mountain Apache Tribe and the University of Arizona. We have five Apache college students and three non-Indian students spending six weeks this summer learning GIS software and working on pages for a cultural atlas the tribe wants to assemble. We're off to a good start, and by the end of three years the museum should have a substantial amount of the cultural atlas assembled. It's rewarding to watch undergraduates grapple with and put anthropology into practice in a community based participatory research project, and gratifying to see an indigenous community use anthropology as a tool to achieve their cultural goals.

KUKA is created
In 1898, Johann Josef Keller and Jakob Knappich found the "Acetylenwerk für Beleuchtungen in Augsburg". The aim is to produce affordable Illumination for houses and streets.
In 1905, the Keller und Knappich GmbH extends ist production: gas fusion welding. From this Point on, KUKA keeps on setting benchamrks in welding technology. 1936, KUKA builds the first point welding gripper in Germany.
As early as in the 1920s Keller and Knappich are using a telegram abbreviation: from the first letters of "Keller und Knappich Augsburg, KUKA is created. This short form becomes a brand.

Bob Costas got tired of talking about pervos and bad actors during Sunday Night Football, and decided to say nice things about the "resilient" Houston Texans:
Costas, you are such a tease. So basically, the only way the Texans get on NBC football is to go to the Super Bowl. That would work for me.
Captain Obvious Time of the Year.
The hardest thing to do from a Houston Texans writing perspective is to tell you and show you things you don't already know. You are watching the games. You see the wins, the injuries, the strengths and the struggles. I don't want to go all Captain Obvious on you, so as the season progresses it becomes sort of difficult to figure out what to write.
I think that some outside commentators are sort of missing the mark about this Texans team. They don't get it or make up some convoluted explanation. Personally I think it is simple. They had an experienced defensive coordinator fix the defense. Funny how that helps.
The Texans have had a very specific philosophy on the offensive side of the ball for a while. In adding Rick Dennison as offensive coordinator last year, they obtained a run-focused specialist to pair up with the pass-focused specialist in head coach Gary Kubiak. Most rookie QBs fail, but most rookie QBs are playing because they are on bad teams, often on bad offenses. The Texans have a very QB-friendly scheme once it is learned, and this year's Texans team has many very experienced players on offense that know this scheme and were acquired to play specifically for this scheme.
The Texans have drafted tons of defense in trying to fix defense, but finally in 2011, they obtained defensive coordinator Wade Phillips who has a proven defensive scheme/philosophy. The defense's issues were never effort ones. They may have had issues of inexperience and lack of direction but not effort. You pair Phillips with some athletic players who are hungry, and you have something going on.
Special teams coach Joe Marciano has coached some very successful special teams when he's had the players to work on that side of the ball. He's going to be tested this week bringing yet a new punter onto the team after the season-ending injury to Brett Hartmann.
Coaching staffs are built over time. Often you don't get the guys you want at each position right away because they are under contract, or if they do well, its hard to keep them because they go on to other opportunities. The coaching staff the Texans have right now is the best one by far that they've had and is by far the best in the division, and perhaps from top to bottom, best in the league. Dennison was Kubiak's first choice as offensive coordinator. Phillips is the first experienced defensive coordinator Kubiak has had. The assistants are all experienced in the schemes they are running. The Texans are relying on some very young players, but Kubiak also has key players who are now experienced in the NFL.
So some commentators might talk Texans' "mental toughness," or "more physical" whatever. In basic terms, it is much easier to coach or play with a defense that plays good football than to deal with a defense that plays bad football. Obvious. I think that there is no one right way to win because teams win in different ways, but I certainly thought that Bob McNair's approach in keeping Gary Kubiak and trying to fix the defense with an experienced defensive coordinator was a sensible, rational thing to do, particularly in a shortened off-season.
They also need to continue to have some good fortune. In the last game, they got some breaks (ATL defensive penalty overturning INT), overcame some bad breaks (the inexplicable fumble call on TJ Yates), and made some breaks (Kareem Jackson knocking ball out of Julio Jones hand for the last play of the game). I think the fans helped contribute to this good fortune.
If adversity builds character, this team and this fanbase have it in abundance.
Houston Texans are The Terminator.
I don't want the Texans to continue to have to sacrifice guys to the football gods of win. Yeah, Terminators can be defeated but you better bring something more than a bazooka or flame thrower or bullet stuff:
Will be a flame thrower sort of a game next weekend against a Bengals team that is still fighting for the playoffs. Hopefully they don't bring the molten steel that disrupts the Texans Terminator's molecular structure.
Andre Johnson coming back as Andre Johnson.
I know the Texans say that Andre Johnson is "day to day" with his hamstring injury. I'm guessing that's said for the Bengals to have to prepare for him but I don't see him back this game. Hamstrings need rest to heal, even if you are a guy with an insane pain tolerance like AJ.
According to Football Outsiders, TJ Yates' "average pass traveled 12.3 yards beyond the line of scrimmage, fourth-highest among starters this week."
A good part of that was Andre Johnson. Everybody said good healing thoughts in his general direction. Check out this excellent series of pictures from the last game, taken by Andy Martin of TexansBullPen.com:
Oh my. Love these series of pictures. In the original larger-sized picture, I love looking at the fan reactions and expressions. And then the bottom picture with the grass stuck in AJ's helmet after he tumbled over making such a difficult catch. Texans fans will be forever spoiled watching this guy play on a weekly basis. It is possible we never see another wide receiver play for this city as good as this guy.
Will be interesting to see who the Texans use as their downfield threat if Johnson is out this weekend. Because defenses need to play him with help, it tends to open things up for everyone else. Hopefully the experience that TJ Yates has in playing with the backup wide receivers helps on Sunday.
Your comments of a Captain Obvious nature or otherwise?

Face time with a female aids males bent on monkey business
Male monkeys looking for a good time might benefit from spending a bit longer getting to know a potential mate, according to a new study published online in the scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
The time males spend around a prospective mate might be the key to detecting subtle sexual signals that show which females are fertile and which are not, according to the study, co-authored by an international team of biologists and psychologists.
"The results of this study shed new light on the role that experience can play in reading others' mating signals," said Laurie Santos, a psychologist from Yale University who was a co-author on the study.
Scientists have long been curious about how females of some primate species, including humans, advertise their fertility and how males recognize often subtle signals. Previous research has shown that the faces of female monkeys sometimes darken when they are fertile, but not all females show exactly the same changes. So can males learn to "read" a female's face?
To study this question, the researchers looked at a rhesus macaque population on the island of Cayo Santiago, off the coast of Puerto Rico, testing whether males could detect when a female was ovulating from her picture alone. They presented male monkeys with two pictures of the same female's face: one from a day on which she was ovulating, and one from a time before she was ovulating. More than 80 percent of males from the female's group were able to discriminate between the two faces, looking longer at the photograph in which she was ovulating than the one in which she was pre-fertile. Males who did not know the specific female in the photograph showed no such preference. This result suggests that males may increase their chance of detecting a female's receptivity by getting to know her.
"Many primates, including humans, receive signals from individuals with whom they are familiar. How this familiarity affects how we interpret the signals we receive from others is largely unknown," said James Higham, lead author of the study, who undertook the work while at The University of Chicago. "I think that similar familiarity effects are quite common in humans as well. How can we determine whether someone is upset or just generally grumpy, or whether someone genuinely likes something or is just always enthusiastic, unless we really know them?"
"The study raises new questions about whether familiarity might be used by the males of our own species to detect when women are fertile," noted Santos.

Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University outdoor track and field teams had a pair of national-qualifying performances in the Grand Valley State Last Chance meet held on Friday (May 10) in Allendale.
The meet represents one of the final opportunities student-athletes have to qualify for the NCAA Division II National Championships, which will take place May 23-25 in Pueblo, Colo. The official list of national qualifiers and meet entries will be announced this coming week.
FSU's Jessica Pilling came away with a first-place finish in the women's hammer throw while also surpassing the national provisional qualifying standard with a toss of 186-3.
Meanwhile, Alyssa Osika took runner-up honors in the 800 meters with an NCAA national provisional qualifying time of 2:11.96.
On the men's side, FSU's Ryan Chute placed fifth overall in the 1,500 meters while narrowly missing the national provisional qualifying mark with a time of 3:52.16. Blake Garver was 12th (3:57.47) and Connor LaRowe 13th (3:58.19) in the same event.
Ferris State's Ryan Stankey placed fourth in the shot put (43-3.75) along with 10th in the discus (137-9).
Thomas Lyons took seventh place in the 200 meters (23.04) and Austin Syrek came in ninth (23.58). Syrek was 14th in the 400 meters (52.20) with Lyons coming in 15th (53.11).

Just kinda odd was thinking the same. I think my blue is slightly different but yellow is the same. I have tryed taping it out to do the yellow first but have not been happy with my tape job.
you should tape the light color part, darker color always go first.

xtreme maxx, watch some of the older "Herbie the Love Bug" movies. They are so much better than the "Reloaded" version and actually used good actors!
That's my Herbie in the post, I did base it on the original car. Myself being considerably older than you, it's one of those childhood memory things. You'll have them eventually too!!
Herbie has his place forever in the elite of Hollywood movie and TV cars.
I can't believe people don't know Herbie......I feel very old....

how do you all do the engine detailing. you cant mask it off so do you like paint it by hand or what?
1 Slash vxl, 1 Duratrax Nitro Evader
Some of them look like they have been done by brush. If not, some of them are really good.
Actually, the engine detailing on my Bug is done with spray paint. I know it's very hard to see in the pics but my Bug (Herbie) has three different shades of graphite sprayed on the various engine components. Grab some 1/4 and 1/8th inch trim tape (body shops everywhere use the 3M stuff and it's awesome to work with) and take your time masking off the areas you don't want painted. Brushing paint on just does not leave as nice a finish so stay away from that if you can help it. You could also use the Liquid Mask if you are not a fan of trim tape. I have not personally used Liquid Mask but I have several friends that use it exclusively. Either way, don't rush it and the paint will come out great!

ah, nice job 25. Did a great job.
heres my version of the baja......(waiting on my rpm front bumper to come in)
cool. Nice baja slash dude! What tires are those? They're not badlands are they?
they're 30 series badlands. same as mine.... them!
Slash PE & Ja-two.
oh, didn't know they made badlands that size now. cool Might look into those. Hear great things about them in different sizes of tires. No matter what kind of truck, or scale, they have great reviews for teh terrain i like.
i have the fronts shaved down to half height in the centers and left the sides alone... the rears are "new"
the 30 series compliment the bug well but i need smaller fronts for the "scale" look....
the tires i cant say enough about.... i run in the sandiest muddiest places and they just grip and go... they make the truck slide just enough but grip soo much that if the slipper is tightened too much i will snap the axles in half!!!!
lol, good to know. Thanks oneclean! appreciate it.
heres a lil proof of the mud... haha
and another pic for good measures...
lol, looks very nice. Would like to have my slash look like that soon.
what if you used the RPM front bumper instead of the stock one?
it would look alot better.... thats y im waiting for mine to come in.... its alot smaller in size and will fit the beetle alot better
ah, def get some pics up when you mount it. I just might be interested in it too. Who knows? I might.

Yea, it is. One of the first mods done to the slash when it came out.
Heres my newest baja body, just finished it and trimmed it out, still dont know if I want to ruin it with stickers or not, I kinda like the clean look.
by the way slasher143, Yes I do paint all of my engines by brush and they do look just as good as the spray painted ones if not better, but you definitly need a steady hand. It looks so real you can almost wipe the oil off of it. Check mine out for yourself in the photo above...Legendriver43

Veteran actress Lupe Ontiveros, the El Paso-born daughter of Mexican immigrants, once estimated that she had played the role of a maid more than 150 times during her career.
That's why the 4-foot-11 actress was so overjoyed more than a decade ago when director Miguel Arteta approached her backstage after a theatrical showcase and said he had a screenplay for her to consider.
"He said, 'Look at the part of Beverly,'" Ontiveros recalled in a 2009 National Public Radio interview. "I said, 'Beverly? You said Beverly? Her name is Beverly?' And I said, 'I'll do it. I don't care what the script is about, because her name is Beverly.' It wasn't Maria Guadalupe Conchita Esperanza, this Latino stereotype."
Ontiveros' role as the straight-talking theater house manager in the 2000 movie "Chuck & Buck," a part she said was written for a white actress, was a breakthrough moment.
Her best-known roles include the former fan club president who kills pop star Selena and the tradition-bound mother in the 2002 film "Real Women Have Curves."
Ontiveros, a longtime resident of Pico Rivera, died Thursday of liver cancer in a Whittier hospital, said her agent, Michael Greenwald. She was 69.
"Lupe Ontiveros was a gift," actor Edward James Olmos told The Times on Friday. "She was part of the evolutionary process of the art form of Latino storytelling in the last 30-plus years. She was one of the true pioneers of the Latin artistic movement in theater, film and television."
Olmos appeared with Ontiveros in the original 1978 Los Angeles production of Luis Valdez's "Zoot Suit," in which she played the mother. She took the part to Broadway in 1979 and played it in the 1981 movie version.
"Selena," which starred Jennifer Lopez in the title role, also featured Olmos.
"Her performances were truly riveting because of the truths that she portrayed," he said. As Selena's killer, "she was so convincing and did such an incredible job that people were angry at her when she walked the streets."
For her role as Carmen Garcia, the critical East Los Angeles mother who prefers that her ambitious young daughter forgo college and join her working in a dress factory in "Real Women Have Curves," Ontiveros shared a Special Jury Prize for dramatic acting at the Sundance Film Festival in 2002 with co-star America Ferrera.
The movie, which also won the festival's Audience Award, "spoke to the people because of its honesty," Ontiveros told the Philadelphia Inquirer in 2002. "It didn't matter that it was about Latinos, because it was really about everyone."
In his review of "Real Women Have Curves," The Times' Kevin Thomas wrote: "This is a wonderful role for an actress of the skill and stature of Ontiveros, whose innate warmth is crucial in maintaining Carmen's humanity.
"The role of Carmen is major and allows us to see what Ontiveros has always been throughout all those maid roles.... America's own Anna Magnani, an actress of such star personality, skill and talent that she intuitively selects the revealing gesture, and holds the pause or the glance or inflection just the right length of time."
In 2005, Ontiveros was nominated for an Emmy Award for her guest star role as Juanita "Mama" Solis, the nosy mother-in-law of Eva Longoria's character on"Desperate Housewives."
Among Ontiveros' movie credits are "El Norte" (1983),"The Goonies"(1985), "As Good As It Gets" (1997) and "Storytelling" (2001). Her TV work included being a regular on the 1993 series "Dudley" and on the 2002-03 series "Greetings from Tucson."
She was born Guadalupe Moreno in El Paso on Sept. 17, 1942. Her parents owned a tortilla factory and two restaurants.
A graduate of Texas Woman's University in Denton, she spent many years as a social worker in the Los Angeles area before answering an ad for movie extras in the early 1970s.
"It seemed like something I felt I knew I could do," the mother of three sons, who soon began taking acting classes, told Back Stage West in 2002.
She found it difficult to overcome racial stereotypes when auditioning in Hollywood.
"I speak good English; I'm an educated person," she told Latino Leaders magazine in 2003. "But whenever I interviewed — and I spoke English just like I'm speaking now — I wouldn't get the role. They couldn't see how a woman who looks like me — indigenous — could ever play somebody of stature, certainly not a professor or a judge. No! She has to be a maid; she had to clean my toilet."
Yet she had been "proud to represent those hands that labor in this country," she told the New York Times in 2002. "I've given every maid I've ever portrayed soul and heart."
Ontiveros was a founding board member of the Latino Theater Company in downtown Los Angeles.
She used "her celebrity, creativity and boundless energy" to make a difference, working for such issues as HIV/AIDS prevention, domestic-violence prevention and disability rights, according to Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis, who was a longtime friend.
Ontiveros is survived by her husband of 46 years, Elias Ontiveros Jr.; her sons, Nicholas, Alejandro and Elias P. Ontiveros; and two grandchildren.
Lupe Ontiveros dies at 69; 'Desperate Housewives' actress
Veteran actress Lupe Ontiveros, the El Paso-born daughter of Mexican immigrants, once estimated that she had played the role of a maid more than 150 times during her career.

looks like she may be off to the beach
i love the casualness of this outfit and the darkness you captured in the photograph.
its nice to see fashion being captured outside of NYC, Paris and Milan
mademoiselle mimi
amazing, those pants!
looks so comfy
Love how casual her look is!
Such an amazing outfit!
This picture is great! Love the expression it gives!
I'm liking everything but her bag, she could make a better
choice in color and size
i love how you can just make out that it's a leotard
BEAUTIFUL pic.... ;)
FASHION ICON: Nicole RICHIE http://magmoiselle.fr
cool to walk and feel the wind touching her hair...
kisses, S.
Fun! and she is so pretty.
what a beautiful picture, outfit, light and place!
I find it so attractive when people get to integrate chucks outside the jeans + chucks combo.
What a beautiful street!
Loveee it!!!
Love her style.. so comfortable.
haven't seeing you photographing in this certain of lights before.. but i love it..
changes are good
Lee x
These photos from Savannah remind me so much of street style here in New Orleans, but I think the New Orleanians have a little something more....
People here are so much bolder in their fashion choices and there is such a range of distinctive tastes represented, all within the context of the gulf, the city, the eclectic neighborhoods.
What I'm saying is that you should come down and check it out!
Don't you just love Savannah? Don't answer that - I can tell you do from your photos! Did you get over to Broughton Street? It's like a walk back in time. These SCAD kids have killer style.
I like how you are capturing the strong-ness arms. Women of The South, we know what work is.
love my southern girls.
What a charming sidewalk...had no idea that cities in the U.S. still had these....we have some brick streets here in the Chicago area, but no sidewalks quite this old.
natural, casual, authentic, beautiful
Some people can't even look elegant in Chanel, but look at this girl! Wow!
The smartphone gesture and the backdrop gives the composition a painterly quality. It would even work as a charcoal drawing; guache, pastel for that matter. Of course, it more than holds its own as a photograph.
love she!
A perfect look for the hot days in Savannah which is such a lovely place to visit. She will truly stay cool and comfy rockin' this outfit!
she looks like someone I know...and she definitely needs a cardy!!!
Please have a look at my new blog and let me know what you think! thanks
i'm loving the laid back style!
she looks kewl!!...love her understated style!!!
the look is so careless and natural, love it !
love how she wore bodysuit in such comfortable clothes match
Love this pic.
i marvel at the way you capture people in certain postures.
fabulous relaxed street look...
vintage beaut!!!
My home town.
i like the fact she's wearing a bathing suit. not so sure about the pants though.
please visit my blog:
still in progress, so keep following!
Really cool outfit!
Just simple and beautiful!
Love the hat. Love the pants too.
Woow! It must be sooo comfortable!
Epitome of comfortable chic. Love the composition of the photo as well, there's a certain dark and thoughtful moodiness you've captured.
cool pants!
this definitely goes along with your sports clothes idea.
finally!! I've been waiting for this thing to pop up! you are one foxy lady mary :)
careless, casual and lovely !!
they all fit so well - the hat, the pants and everything else. love it !
chromatic's colors always at top with you !!!! Great !
wow so cool!
The skirt is perfect. It looks comfortable and shows off her willowy lines.
love love love love it!!
Your recent Georgia photos leave me wanting to visit. You make Savannah look like an enchanted forest!
I love to see what everyone is wearing outside of the "usual" places... she seems so carefree. The Chucks say teen or college student to me. Ah, to be young again! I love the lighting of this shot!
wow - goin out in your sweats never looked so hot! and elegant to boot. also, could Savannah be more picturesque? jeez. i want to go to there.
There is something haunting about the setting here-- The concave sidewalk, the greying building, the dark green growth creeping over the fence. And she seems like she grew up to become a part of it. I wish I could carry off looking so natural in... well, anything!
These Savannah girls love their long dresses with tennis shoes. Is this the new look of summer? Absolutely LOVE the hat and bag - would love to see it on her too.
Thanks for sharing this!
Simple and cool. I love it!
Great photo! It's really enchanting with that dark and gloomy setting, and the girl is so delicate.. it's a magical shot! :)
It does look like a somewhat creeoy photo! Love her kicks!
I love the posts you do on smaller cities in the US. They have an authenticity and character, and I feel in New York or London people are dress up in a city because of the city they live in, while the people in Savannah have more of a character showing from within.
Al Moda
wow! simply wow!
yay SCAD! represent!!!!!
i love my city
ole girl really hooked up some sweat pants! the chuck taylor all stars are a nice carry over from the previous post with dude in his basketball kit.
so relaxed and still there's an eerie feel about it.
love the style!♥
she's lovely!! great great style
Best tip for Copenhagen? Oslo on May 17! National holiday - national costumes - soooo inspiering and fun!
I like it! She looks comfortable and relaxed. The hat adds a cool addition too. The no bra look is in with the relaxed workout/sleep pants.
so pretty
great style!
I remember visiting Savannah as a child and thinking that it was a cool place. Seeing your recent photos brings back those memories...
Seemingly effortless. Lovely.
Nothing special, but beautiful!

Thank you :) x
love the casual in here!
Savannah is a beautiful old city with brick and cobblestone streets and city square parks shaded by oak trees draped in Spanish moss. It's beautiful, mysterious, and yes! rather haunted. It is also blazing hot at this time of year. Tybee Island is a short distance from downtown's waterfront. So you can see that her outfit makes complete sense. Savannah is a walkable city and when it's this hot, all you can think about is a beach breeze.
I love the casualness of everything in this shot. The brickwork in the sidewalk and the age and vulnerability of the fencing. I love the slight lift of the hair from a lazy breeze and that it is not blindingly sunny. The plants are healthy but unkept and there is about to be a worn hat...now that I have regained my breath after having it swept away from me let me say that she seems pleasingly fuss free and striking.
LOVE this!! XOXO, www. NatalyasCloset.com
insousciente j'adore !
Nice Pic Mr.
so casual.. and the one piece makes the outfit!:)
very pretty.
i love the leotard
although i dont like the hat.
I love the Savannah style you have been posting! It's so relaxed and natural feeling. Makes me want to head south. In some places fashion can seem like a competition but these pictures don't have that feel to them. Great job. I hope to see more new locations in the future!
Casual Cool! Loving
Faye - Fashion Hound
I like it but the only thing that bothers me is that she only looks good in that outfit because she is so tall and skinny.
If she were any bigger, she would look like a slob (apart from the hat).
Some people look good no matter what they throw on, but that doesn't necessarily mean what they wear is stylish...
I like the grey/black palette with the pop of nail polish. Very cool.
She is so perfect...everything in this picture is perfect, even the bag...
so ghostly, in an odd way- especially with that background! beautiful!
Simple outfit still she's pretty.. love love
I am in love with the photos you are taking in Savanah. Evocative, romantic, a little dark. Your photography continues to dazzle and inspire me.
Très Awesome - A Chicago Street Style Blog
it seems that a big storm is coming, love this light! Great photo!
I love the hat! Although i don't know if i'd be able to wear that outfit, might make a woman with hips appear frumpy :/
looks nice and comfortable as well.
that is so cute
i really appreciate all the low key and the global mood in this photo
I love this photograph so much - it captures such a peaceful moment. She's so deep in contemplation, and I love the way her hair is blowing ever so slightly in the wind. The concave pavement adds a nice surreal touch. Beautiful.
i want to be a sartorialist girl!!!
thank you
i luv how your eye catches Savannah
Lovely picture!!
And have to say.... Nice.. and easy!
Definitely approved! :D
Check my blog, advices on fashion for all, men women, and for every wallet!
In Italian and English!
Thank you!
What a great outfit! Looks so stylish but still comofortable, we love it!
great! luv this
Anyone know where the pants are from?
I like this. She is wearing her bathing suit under sweatpants, and the hat is too hot to wear. The sun has dived below clouds for an instant, and she's tired of the beach. She's slung her towel, sunscreen, etc. into her burlap bag and is heading home. It has a weary feeling to this photo, perfectly capturing the mood.
Wonderful photo with a painterly feel--her expression, her stance & willowy lines, the quality of the light all combine to create a haunting image.
I'm guessing she's a dancer...? In that spirit, I'd rock those pants tribal fusion style--a bit lower on the hip & wrapped with a tatty hip scarf (to hide the unfortunate waistband).
Chuck's are so timeless!
oh my god..... so beautiful....
So relaxed and casual, great.
Not sure if it's trousers or a skirt, doesn't matter actually, looks so good!
Laundry day turned fashion statement.
very cute look
Wow! Looks so comfortable. Photograph is also nice in this amount of light.
It looks nice and cute :)
København restauranter
I love this, cos' I really wouldn't wear this myself, yet it works perfectly.
Elisa - thebod.clothing
An example of what a slim nice young figure can carry off. Personally I like everything but the pants.
nice outfit!
and perfect for summer too!
I work for Lida Baday. The pants might be one of our chine jersey styles from several seasons ago.
My favorite part of this shot is the way the brick path she's standing on has bowed out under gravity over the years. Such a romantic setting.
so effortlessly chic!
This is making me crave a bodysuit even more than I already was!
Kate - BASIIK Blog
Making joggers attractive - she's got style.
in love.
Undoubtedly great daily outfit :) and she is wearing my favorite type shoe. Looking awesome.
Greetings holiday apartment london
It enchants me, all the comments about this "southern girl" and her inner sense of place. Dollars to donuts she's a SCAD student, and if she is then she's probably not from Savannah. Photos tell the story we want them to, not necessarily the truth.
쏘큣 <3 it!
these are wonderful. what a beautiful place to shoot...more Savannah please!
She looks so pensive. The gentle breeze blowing her hair, she needs to just breathe it in.
i'll be heading to savannah next week for a couple of days...what are some of the best areas/streets/shops for menswear? thanks ~
so natural you just caught the beauty in a nice way.keep it up
chic and modern!! love how she is looking down in contemplation...
she's beautiful and the simplicity with the details makes her style perfect.
and the photograph. well, one of the bests that you've been posting lately!
I'd love to see that hat on her head!
Love the pants(or is it a skirt?). The slit and the waistband are great. Just to say though; She is definitely not going anywhere near the beach on that day. First of all, that top is not a swim suit, you can tell by the lack of structure on the top, second no one would wear that hat to the beach. It would get ruined pretty fast. Third no one goes to the beach with a full bag of stuff. She is a student on a warm day. Thats it. Her outfit is very put together, even if it is simple, especially the bag and hat(which are not simple).
not everyone could wear this and look as chic as her. kudos.
love the light here. cloudy skies make for the best portrait light :)
that top is amazing

It's been almost a year since Justin Rose wandered the halls of Southington High School between periods. It's been two seasons since he led the gridiron defenders with 99 tackles and four sacks, but the former Knight seemed comfortable to return to his old stomping grounds on Monday, March 17.
The recent graduate returned to his alma mater to share the next chapter in his football career. Rose led Avon Old Farms on the gridiron last fall during a prep school season, but he asked to return to his old school to sign a national letter of intent for Central CT State University this fall, and his former coach jumped at the chance.
Once a Knight, always a Knight.
"This was a great opportunity for us," said Blue Knight football coach Mike Drury. "Guys leave our program, but they don't leave the family and brotherhood that we have. Any time a former player reaches out for anything, we're going to try to support him as much as we possibly can. That's what we try to do because I think that's what we're here for."
In fact, Rose credits his former coach for helping him to achieve his goals. It was a call from Drury that actually started the recruiting process with Central, and it wasn't long until Rose directed his full attention to the New Britain college.
Sacred Heart University and Fordham University showed interest in the former Knight. Merrimack College, Bryant College, Coastal Carolina University, and Towson University all wooed the 200 pound linebacker, but Rose decided to set his sights on the Blue Devils when Drury introduced him to incoming coach Pete Rossomando.
"They weren't even a school on my agenda at first, but Coach Drury contacted me and told me that Coach Rossomando wanted to talk to me. I talked to him. We set up a visit, and I decided after that," said Rose. "It will be good to play so close to home. I'll still be able to come back and watch my brother play. I can come back and see family. That was another factor in choosing Central."
Rose's journey to the division I ranks began just two years ago when he decided to debut with the Knights as a senior. Rose was already an accomplished varsity athlete in hockey and baseball, but he quickly earned a spot at the center of Southington's defense. With just one year of football on his resume, Rose decided to play a year at the prep school level.
Drury said that it was a great decision. Rose led the Avon team in tackles last fall, but he broke out as a multi-faceted defender in the Winged Beaver defense. Rose developed into a multi-faceted defender, earning a reputation as a player that can defend against both the run and the pass. That's what grabbed the attention of Central coaches.
"He's just a natural talent with natural instincts," said Drury. "He can pressure you and be a great blitzer on the edge or the interior. He can be a run stopper on the inside, but he can also cover great. He had a couple of interceptions for us, but he had seven or eight at Avon. He led the team in interceptions as an inside linebacker in a 3-4 defense, and that's pretty good. He has a lot of range and very good size and athleticism. He's a great player."
For Rose, Central offered him the perfect opportunity to stay close to home and pursue a career in athletic training.
"That was a big factor because I know that Central has a very good athletic program. The trainers from here went there, and one trainer from Avon went there as well," he said. "This definitely prepared me. I knew that I wanted to play college football after my senior year here because I had a good time playing it. Football's the type of game that betters you not only as a player but as a man as well. I like that about the game, and I want to continue onto college."
Drury said that he expects Rose to challenge for a position this fall as a freshman.

BEIJING (AP) — For weeks, a mysterious microblog has been lifting a veil from around China's new leader, Xi Jinping, with candid snapshots from his travels that defy the typically stiff and staged images of the leadership presented in state media.
Ordinary Chinese, foreign reporters and even China's own state media have speculated over who or what might be behind the blog — ostensibly registered to a female tech school graduate. Is Xi's own team surreptitiously trying to humanize the leader in the guise of citizen journalism? Is this a crusader's attempt to bring China's leaders down a notch and send them a message?
It turns out it's the brainchild of a male college dropout and migrant worker, Zhang Hongming, who told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview that he is both a genuine fan of China's new leader and intent on making him more accessible to the country's people.
"It is just me. It's completely an individual act," said Zhang, who started the "Fan Club of Learning From Xi" on China's Twitter-like Sina Weibo on Nov. 21 with a simple thought: Like other foreign leaders in these times, Chinese leaders should have an online following.
Zhang said he initially wanted to keep a low profile, but now wants to come forward to end the rampant speculation about his identity and intentions.
The account shares photos gathered from citizen volunteers and local reports throughout the country of Xi on his visits out in the field — and the candid images aren't always flattering. There are shots of him visiting a vegetable market, serving food to the elderly, looking sideways. One shows him napping in a van.
The microblog even tracked Xi's recent trip to Gansu province step by step, beating state media in reporting Xi's activities. National broadcaster CCTV complained on its own microblog: "What happened? The Study Xi Fan Club is quicker and closer to him than us."
The unexpected popularity of the microblog speaks to the Chinese public's demand to humanize their typically aloof leaders.
"Our leaders used to appear to be out of reach for the masses. They always appeared to be mysterious. Now the public can feel closer to their leader with timely and transparent information," Zhang said. "Xi is a national leader, but take his official title away, he's an ordinary person."
A native of the southwestern province of Sichuan, Zhang said he dropped out of a technical college in 2008 when he realized he was not learning anything. He moved to the more prosperous provinces in China's east and south, where he has worked many odd jobs, including delivery. He now helps produce wall decorations in the city of Wuxi in Jiangsu province.
Tech-savvy, Zhang said he often visits foreign sites and came to realize that many foreign leaders have online followings. "We didn't have one for Xi, and I felt like I could do that. After all, I am filled with expectations that our new leader will be affable," said Zhang, who was contacted through the password-protected private message function on his Weibo account that only he could reasonably have access to. During a later video chat, he showed his government-issued ID card to verify his identity.
Zhang said he initially registered the account as the Fan Club of General Secretary Xi, but found he had difficulty posting to it. Then he changed it to "the Fan Club of Learning from Xi," in a wordplay on Xi's name, which also means "studying" in Chinese.
Some of the initial followers were fans of Xi's wife, Peng Liyuan, a popular folk singer, Zhang said. As he focused more on casual images of Xi, he began to receive more input from fans.
Zhang said he initially did not want the focus to be on himself, so he registered his account under the fictitious profile of a Shaanxi province woman identified as a graduate of Xidian University.
The microblog has gained more than 700,000 followers, and did such a good job that the Chinese public began to wonder if it was an inside job by Xi's team. Foreign media chimed in with reports wondering how the account was able to post so many photos of Xi in a country where information on the leadership's movements is tightly controlled.
Zhang said the proliferation of smartphones has allowed fans to snatch impromptu photos of Xi. Although they live and work in a heavily guarded government compound in central Beijing, top Chinese leaders make a regular show of traveling to the provinces and meeting ordinary people.
The trips are normally tightly scripted, but occasional spontaneous incidents can occur. Communist Party No. 2, Li Keqiang, earned some unwanted attention recently when a bare-bottomed toddler crawled out of a cupboard during a recent televised visit with a farming family.
Zhang recently posted an explanation saying the microblog had no relationship with Xi, but that just triggered more suspicion, he said, adding in an interview that he now wanted to go further and reveal his identity to quell growing public speculation.
"There's so much guessing, and now by revealing myself I hope it will dispel everyone's suspicions," Zhang said.
Zhang said he relies on his instincts in deciding what to post to the account, and that he typically does not post photos from a location until Xi has moved on to his next stop.
Zhang said he has no idea if Xi approves of the fan club.
"But so far, no government worker or police has come after me," Zhang said. "That tells us they are getting more open, a sign the leadership is more open."
While the authorities have yet to issue an opinion on Zhang's microblog, response from other media watchers has been generally positive.
The interest in Zhang's microblog represents a desire to know more about the daily lives of high-level Chinese leaders, media commentator Liu Xuesong wrote in the Qianjiang Evening News, based in the southern city of Zhuhai.
"In a way it also represents a dissatisfaction in the degree of transparency surrounding the news about top leaders and a dissatisfaction with the tempo and forms of expression of the traditional official media," Liu wrote.

Safety & Care
What kinds of protection does Bulwark offer?
Bulwark's FR protective work apparel is secondary protective clothing, which is designed for continuous wear in designated areas where intermittent exposure to flame or heat is possible. It is to be used in conjunction with primary protective clothing for activities where significant exposure to flame or heat is likely, such as molten substance splash.
Performance Requirements
All Bulwark garments meet the requirements specified by:
- ASTM International Standard F2302 for labeling protective clothing as heat and flame resistant
- National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 70E
- Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces, 2012 Edition
- ASTM Standard F1506-10a, Flame Resistant Materials for Wearing Apparel for Use by Electrical Workers Exposed to Momentary Electric Arc and Related Thermal Hazards
Because these fabrics are flame resistant, they are also acceptable under the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) Final Rule 1910.269, Final Rule on Electrical Protective Equipment.
Where appropriate, Bulwark garments have been certified by Underwriters laboratories to the requirements of NFPA 2112, Standard on Flame Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Fire and Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) Standard 155.20, Workwear for protection against Hydrocarbon Flash Fire.
Caring for each type of flame-resistant fabric
Each type of Flame-Resistant fabric requires special safety and care considerations.
Inherently FR Fibers Inherently flame-resistant fibers are defined as having flame-resistance as an essential characteristic of the fiber.
Treated Fabrics Treated fabrics are treated with a flame retardant chemical to make them flame-resisant. The fibers used in these fabrics, such as cotton, are not normally considered protective and become flame-resistant because of the treatment.
Treated Fibers Fabrics made from treated synthetic fibers, which are extruded with a flame retardant chemical in the fiber-forming process, become flame-resistant for the life of the garment because the flame retardant cannot be removed by wear of laundering.
Blends Some fabrics are blends of treated and inherently FR fibers.
How flame-resistant fabrics work
Flame-resistant (FR) fabrics and garments are intended to resist ignition, prevent the spread of flames away from the immediate area of high heat impingement, and to self-extinguish almost immediately upon removal of the ignition source.
Normal work apparel will ignite and continue to burn if exposed to an ignition source such as flame or electric arc. Everyday fabrics will continue to burn until they are extinguished or all flammable material is consumed.

SOCHI, Russia — When these are the rivalries — Canada facing the U.S. in one semifinal of the Olympic hockey tournament after Sweden plays Finland in the other — Xs and O's and detailed analysis have less to do with the outcome than pure, unfettered emotion.
Asked whether the U.S. will try to take the middle of the ice away from Canada, which has won all four of its games despite modest production from its forwards, center David Backes laughed and insisted the question was too technical. This is mind over matchups, and may the strongest-willed win.
"For me, it's execution and playing the hardest and sticking to the game plan and sacrificing for each other," said Backes, whose rugged play and ability to create offense in contested situations have given Team USA an enviably balanced offense and the tough-to-play-against identity its executives coveted.
"The little tactical things now and then, that's up to the coaching staff. Taking away the middle, slowing them down, making them play in their end — all those things contribute to a great defensive game that keeps them off the scoreboard and hopefully leads to us winning."
For standout defenseman Drew Doughty of Canada, this is the only reason he will even briefly forget the bonds he forged with U.S. winger Dustin Brown and goaltender Jonathan Quick as members of the Kings. When Doughty sees them Friday at the Bolshoy Ice Dome he will not see friends but foes who stand between him and the chance to play for another gold medal Sunday.
"We want those bragging rights for the rest of the season. For the rest of your life, really," said Doughty, who helped Canada defeat the U.S. in an overtime thriller in the gold-medal game at the Vancouver Games four years ago.
"I'm really close with both those guys, Quickie and Brownie. It's going to be fun. I want to beat them so badly. We're big rivals, us and the U.S., especially after the last Olympics."
Few rivalries run as deep as No. 1-seeded Sweden, the only team unbeaten in regulation, and neighbor Finland, long considered a lesser hockey power even though it won three medals in the four previous Olympic tournaments that included NHL players. Finland, led by 43-year-old Teemu Selanne, 21-year-old Mikael Granlund and the clutch goaltending of Tuukka Rask, beat Russia last week.
"I think now it's a healthy, friendly rivalry whereas they used to look up to us as Big Brother," Swedish winger Daniel Alfredsson said Thursday.
"They've had tremendous success here in the Olympics. We've met them pretty much every time, and I don't think it's so much big brother-little brother anymore. It's more healthy rivals that are very proud of their hockey team, and also really happy to represent their country. They know how much it means."
Being technical for a bit, Doughty said Canada's best hope lies in eroding Quick's confidence.
"When he gets hot, when he makes some big saves early, he seems to become unbeatable," Doughty said. "And that's why we've got to get one early on him. The only way we're going to score on him is we've got to get pucks up high and we've got to get screens in front and tips. He's going to make the easy saves every time. So it's going to be a big challenge for us."
To take away the advantage Canada has at center, even after it lost John Tavares to a knee injury, U.S. Coach Dan Bylsma is likely to match the line of Brown, Backes and Ryan Callahan against the Chris Kunitz-Sidney Crosby-Patrice Bergeron line. Crosby also will see plenty of shutdown defenseman Ryan Suter.
Bylsma can manipulate the matchups because the U.S., the designated home team, will have the last line change. But as he noted, there's more to monitor besides Crosby, who scored the golden goal in Vancouver.
"If you just think the goal is to match up against Sidney Crosby you'd be missing another nine really good forwards out there," Bylsma said. "And that may be the difference in the game."
The difference in both semifinals could be the random carom of the puck off a skate or stick, or which player best puts NHL friendships aside when the situation demands it.
"These are the fun ones," Ducks and Canada center Ryan Getzlaf said. "This is why we came here."

The Red Planet is on all our minds here at the Museum as we prepare for an exciting live-stream of the landing of NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars in the early hours of Monday 6 August.
It'll be make, and hopefully not break, time for the largest rover that NASA has ever attempted to land on another planet, as the Mini Cooper-sized Curiosity rover (image left, credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech) reaches the nail-biting conclusion of its journey to Mars and begins its mission to find evidence for a life-supporting environment on the surface.
We'll be live-linking to Mission Control in California and the audience will be able put their questions to NASA's scientists during this once-in-a-lifetime event. And, if we are lucky, we may even see the first images transmitted back to Earth from Curiosity.
Also on hand during our live-link will be 3 former mission scientists and Mars experts, Dr Peter Grindrod from University College London, Dr Matthew Balme from Open University, and Dr Joseph Michalski from the Museum to talk us through planetary exploration, the technology behind NASA's latest Martian endeavour, and the purpose of Curiosity's mission.
Tickets are sold out but you can follow the #msl tag on Twitter to keep in touch with global coverage and experience the tension as NASA goes through the 7 minutes of terror of the landing.
Gale Crater, where Curiosity is destined to land, is known from other Mars missions to have been wet and contain clay minerals. Clays, other phyllosillicates and sulphates are known to form under liquid water conditions with life-supporting pH ranges. The wet environment at the landing site is long gone but the chemical signs of what could have been a habitable environment - and the geological context for it - could still be detectable and this is what Curiosity's 10 scientific instruments will be studying during its stay on Mars.
The intended landing area for NASA's Curiosity rover in Gale Crater is known to have been wet in the past. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU
Curiosity's Seven Minutes of Terror
So, come Monday morning, it'll be fingers crossed that Curiosity lands safely and goes on to be as wildly successful as Opportunity and Spirit, NASA's last two rovers to journey across the surface of Mars ...
