After another day identifying all the unidentified Solanaceae in both the herbarium of the Instituto and the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, we went in search of Solanum juncalense, a species we had been looking for on previous field trips in the Mendoza area.
I had accumulated much locality information for this solanum in the herbaria – we have very few collections of this species in the Museum's collections, so my work in the collections here in Mendoza has really helped my understanding of its distribution and variation. One of the localities was in the department of Tunuyán, up the valley from where Claudio's parents had a farm. We had intended to spend the day there anyway, so went in search of Solanum juncalense – the last chance to find it!
Today was the first Sunday of a long holiday, and everyone was out with tents camping or barbeques having a Sunday asado in the countryside. We headed up the valley, on a road that crossed several streams – a bit worrying, as it had rained every day and the arroyos grow quickly and become impassable. We carried on past a guardia post where we had to leave our names to a confluence of two valleys – one of the localities I had found in the herbarium yesterday.
The valley is called Cajón de los Arenales, and is the jumping off place for the ascent of the mountain at its head
And there it was…. at the side of the road, right where we parked the car was Solanum juncalense in full flower. The botany gods were smiling on us for sure….. everywhere else we had been looking for this we had looked in vain, but there it was!
Solanum juncalense is a member of the Morelloid clade Tiina and I are currently working on, and an endemic to this part of Argentina and adjacent Chile (although I think the one Chilean collection is actually from the Argentine side of the border!). It is a relative of Solanum sinuatiexcisum, which we collected high up in the northern Andes of Argentina last year
Solanum juncalense is a member of a species complex that I thought I understood before I saw the material here in Argentine herbaria. Previous taxonomic treatments distinguished the species by length of hairs (tiny to extremely tiny!!) and colour of flowers; I thought I had found another difference when I was in Córdoba, but looking at the many herbarium sheets of these plants in Mendoza I am now thinking this is all a cline – variation from north to south that is continuous, and not several species at all!
In addition, these plants we found sometimes had white flowers and sometimes purple (more commonly purple… but both colours were there!). So maybe I am more confused now than I was before, but maybe not, at least now I know what to look for….. If I am right and this is all just continuous variation, then the correct name will be Solanum echegarayi, published a few years before Solanum juncalense.
The size of the plant had also been important in previous treatments, and plants were described as annuals. But how wrong…. these plants all grow from deep underground rhizomes (underground stems) and shoots grow up from buds along the stem to reach the surface, a bit like a potato grows from the eyes on the tuber. One of the rhizomes we dug up was about 1 centimetre in diameter and very corky. The snow is very deep in this area in winter and the plants die back to survive from Another example of why field work is so important – these sorts of characteristics are just not apparent from herbarium specimens, and are often not noted down on labels.
Several different 'plants' of Solanum juncalense are sprouting from this rhizome – if a collector just pulled at the above-ground stem it would seem it was an annual plant!
I would have liked to dig some more and see if all the plants in one area were connected, but we needed to get back before the arroyo began to flood (we could see it raining up higher). In addition all the plants we found were growing in the loose soil of ant nests; the ants were not at all happy with us disturbing them and they both bit and stung. Apologies to my hymenopterist colleagues for not collecting them, all I could think of was to get them off me!
What a find though for my last day in Argentina – this time. This is an amazingly diverse and fascinating country, with many endemic species and genera of Solanaceae. I have great colleagues here in Argentina – Gloria and Franco in Córdoba and Iris in Mendoza – so I am sure I will be back….. but this has been a wonderful field trip, topped off by a great find and some new discoveries about the plant!

2.) Who knows, we will have to wait and see
3.) Actually they didn't become strong until all the 5 of it's current tournament team members (Unless Minerva was a part of ST, from the beginning) joined them, apart from that, you're claim is most likely correct.

It's a good build up and ending overall but I got one major problem.. the way natsu dominating them.. That's just a usual punch, kick and roar and they easily got hit.. wtf?!
it didn't make sense a while ago natsu got all owned up by dragon force and minutes later without any 'change', he got no problem dealing with 2 of those...
It would be far more logical if he enters some kind of mode to dominate those 2 dragons or an explanation on why he suffered the dragon force hit in the 1st place, he could say he was just wanted to tested out df power so he played dumb that time..
But if it's the latter option, than natsu is way overpowered and sabertooth is a joke..

Eclaire cover <3 Possible Zeref comeback, since nobody (else) cries at the sight of Natsu, cool fight. So, Natsu held his word and kicked both their asses solo after seeing their moves, loved it. CRY LECTOR, CRYYYY! Apparently their Dragon Force was incomplete, wonder if they'll be given any more focus after this tournament...
Btw, final score:
- Fairy Tail 45 pt.
- Sabertooth 44 pt.

it's odd, because this is the first time i can recall natsu actually dominating in a fight, not strugglinggg like hell.
didn't like the chapter, only because it felt too short... i got gotten too used to the 28+ chapters
also don't like how all of hte backstory is dedicated to sting, no reason for rogue's motivation, but i guess when he heel-face-turns, we'll get that story
yea the lack of lightning dragon force is just wow, but i guess natsu had some internal power up, like.... resolve? kubo's been creeping on mashima's studio again. or even natsu channelled us, the fans' desire to see an asswhooping, and channeled that into firepower (see what i did there?)
i know mashima's emphasizing the whole, "fighting for other's gives you more strength than just fighting for yourself' theme, as well as the fact that natsu is more experienced than them both, and i guess you can factor in that they had used up alot of their strength getting asswhooped earlier (plus, did they even use dragon force this chapter?) but, it still feels like an asspull win, how exactly did natsu accomplish this?
maybe zeref will explain it to us though, so it stops tasting so much like an overdose of deus ex mashima
*reread it, and wow they were in df mode the entire chapter... couldn't tell

so naturally, the top 5 of sabertooth should have unlocked their 2nd origins too, it would be weird for them to be at the top without it

I understand people's gripes but I am thankful that Natsu didn't struggle for once. We all knew from the start of Fairy Tail that Natsu was going to be one of the strongest characters by the end of the series.
Also, there is no proof how strong Sting and Rogue really were since Fairy Tail was gone for 7 years and this is the first time they were actually tested that we know of! Just because you run your mouth a lot doesn't make you the strongest. Sting and Rogue talked the talk but Natsu walked the walk lol.
Ultear gave Natsu what probably amounts to a HUGE powerup. Since Natsu probably has one of the highest potentials in the entire story, he really should be showing signs of really powering up big time.

Hey guys, I wanna invite you all to the campfire over at OM right now, SO MUCH flames of hate for this chapter over there, I love it^^. Anyhoo, back on topic, I think Mavis kinda crossed the fourth wall there and basically said to all the haters, yeah we trollin, you mad? Hell, I think her reaction to the Dragon farts of these 2 was like, *monotone*omagah, dragon force, better look shocked to sell this.

Well, you know how Igneel, Metalicana, and Grandiney taught their kids other stuff besides fighting? They were like their school, teaching them all about language, history, etc. That was Sting and Rogue's mistake. They killed their dragons because they didn't want to go to school, that's why their thinking and logic capabilities are at dur hurr hurr level.

Rookie Tyler Toffoli has 2 goals, 1 assist to pace LA Kings' 5-1 rout of Vancouver CanucksNHL.com @NHLdotcom
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Tyler Toffoli had two goals and an assist in his third game back from the minors, and Mike Richards had a goal and two assists in the Los Angeles Kings' 5-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night.
Richards, Justin Williams and Toffoli scored in a 2:33 span midway through the second period for the Kings, chasing Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo in the process. Jonathan Quick made 25 saves, and Linden Vey earned his first NHL point with an early assist in Los Angeles' 10th victory in 14 games
Luongo stopped 14 shots before getting pulled after the Kings' fourth goal midway through the second period.
Dan Hamhuis scored in the Canucks' first game against Los Angeles as division rivals since 1998.
The Sedin twins were held scoreless for the second straight night on the Canucks' four-game trip to each of the reconfigured Pacific Division's four U.S.-based teams.
Jordan Nolan scored an early goal in a game that turned out to be a showcase for the Kings' two rookies.
Toffoli and Vey both saw playoff action during the team's run to the Western Conference finals last summer, and both were recalled from the minors a week ago for the first time this season to fill in for injured veterans Jeff Carter and Jarret Stoll.
Against the Canucks, the 21-year-old Toffoli had a career-best three points in his 13th regular-season game, while the 22-year-old Vey's sharp pass set up Nolan for the Kings' first goal.
The Kings played without three veteran regulars due to injuries, and left wing Kyle Clifford went down with an undisclosed injury early in the game. Carter sat out his third straight game, while Stoll missed his second straight and defenceman Matt Greene was scratched with an undisclosed injury.
After a wide-open few minutes in the first period, Nolan put the Kings ahead in a sequence that started when Hamhuis tumbled and lost the puck at Los Angeles' blue line. Vey, playing his second NHL game, nimbly deked longtime Kings forward Brad Richardson on the rush before feeding Nolan for his third goal.
Toffoli scored late in the period after two exceptional passes by Richards and Drew Doughty, who found the youngster with a cross-ice pass on a wobbling puck.
Hamhuis got the Canucks' first goal in the second period with a long shot after a defensive scramble by the Kings. Richards answered 68 seconds later with a goal in front of Luongo, and the veteran goalie's defence left him helpless again when Williams scored 1:46 after that.
Eddie Lack replaced Luongo, but the Canucks again abandoned defence and gave up a gaping 2-on-1 break to Toffoli and Richards, who exchanged the puck until Toffoli scored his second goal.
NOTES: Richardson spent the past five seasons in the Kings organization, winning a Stanley Cup ring while playing in 13 games during the 2012 playoffs. The agitating forward signed a two-year deal with Vancouver as a free agent last summer. ... Alex Burrows put the puck into Quick's net during a power play early in the second period, but officials immediately ruled he had kicked it in, a judgment upheld by video review. ... Toffoli had two points in his second NHL game last March, and he had a two-point game in the conference finals against Chicago.

The ZX Vega is currently going through crowd funding on Indiegogo, trying to raise £100,000 for the first 1000 units and after seeing the device I had almost written it off entirely.
Rest assured, none of these questions are answered in the indiegogo pitch, but given Chris Smith's involvement this might be one to watch out for in the future.
The hardware itself is basically a small ARM SoC with some flash memory to store the built in games, though it'll also have an SD slot so you can run the free roms found on World of Spectrum etc.
Hopefully, it won't be pants.

Lowry: Cheney's revenge
Will the author of the Obama administration white paper on killing U.S. citizens please report for his war crimes trial right away?
If he served in the George W. Bush administration, someone would already be agitating for his extraordinary rendition to The Hague. The white paper outlines why the Obama administration believes that it can kill U.S. citizens without due process if they are senior members of Al Qaeda or an affiliate. This is not a merely theoretical legal question, as Anwar al-Awlaki found out from the business end of a Hellfire missile a few years ago in Yemen.
Story Continued Below
The left is still furious that the Bush administration waterboarded three captured terrorists in the immediate aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001. Yet, with a few exceptions, it has blithely accepted the Obama administration's extrajudicial assassination policy that has killed about 1,000 times as many people.
( Also on POLITICO: Who kept drone memos from Congress?)
During the Bush years, a small army of former Democratic officials, law professors, op-ed writers and bloggers blasted the Bush administration as dangerous and un-American for asserting the executive branch's war powers in the fight against Al Qaeda, aka "trampling the Constitution."
Barack Obama was going to be different. We had this on the highest possible authority: Barack Obama. As the junior senator from Illinois in 2007, he set out his alternative vision: "The separation of powers works. Our Constitution works. We will again set an example for the world that the law is not subject to the whims of stubborn rulers, and that justice is not arbitrary."
( Also on POLITICO: Wyden: Declassify more on drones)
In a speech as president in 2009, he said we are at war with Al Qaeda and must update our institutions to deal with it. "But," he added, pointedly, "we must do so with an abiding confidence in the rule of law and due process; in checks and balances and accountability."
The white paper outlines how that looks like in practice. If an "informed, high-level official" of the Obama administration determines that a U.S. citizen is one of the "senior operational leaders" of Al Qaeda or "an associated force" and "recently" involved in "activities" related to a violent attack against the United States, well then, he can be terminated with extreme prejudice.

Lights is one of the more expensive eye products from Ellis Faas, costing USD $42. There are a total of 5 shades. E301 - bright silver, E302 - gold with hints of green, E303 - bronze, E304 - lilac and E305 - duo chrome of green and brown. I picked E305 because it looked interesting.
The pen is about 15 cm long. You cannot fit this into any regular makeup pouch. You can probably use this as a weapon though.
There is a turning mechanism. It clicks when you turn. You have to turn this until the product comes out. You have to be careful when you turn, if the product decides to come out, it literally gushes out if you turn too many times. But it took me so many turns before anything came out. I think I turned it a good 15 minutes intermittently before I saw product coming out. My other pens were a disaster. My other eye shadow pen refused to work. My blush pen hemorrhaged to the point that all the product came out and dried out. (Sigh) I hate the turning mechanism. I think Ellis Faas should work on it more.
I hate the brush too. Look at it! The bristles are sticking out. They look and feel cheap. I cut the stray ones so it would look better.
I love the colour though. The duo chrome green and brown is very complex and beautiful. I apply this using the brush directly onto my eye lids. it dries quickly so I need to blend quickly. In order to soften the sharp edges I apply another cream base over this to blend. It doesn't smudge and is crease resistant. It is not water proof though. I ran my swatch with water and rubbed it, it came right off.
I compared it with two other duo chrome MAC pigments in Green Brown and Blue Brown.
As you can see E305 is very pigmented and intense.
I like the concept of the pen. It looks sleek. Unfortunately it is not handy enough to be kept in most makeup pouches. But I don't love the clicking mechanism. When I want to use it, I turn the pen, the product doesn't come out immediately. I need to run the brush over my hand a few times before I get product. Then when I don't need it, extra product comes out. Product wastage! I can't precisely control the amount of product I need. It pains my wallet as this costs USD $42 for a measly 2.5 ml. I can't see how much product is left and throwing the empty pen away after it finishes feels like such a waste. I like the colour but not enough to pay USD $42 for it. Not buying any more of this!

Interview Date: 04/16/2010
Run Date: 04/20/2010
Interviews Home / Movies Home / Bullz-Eye Home
Cheech and Chong are back, man! Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong had been threatening a reunion for several years, but it wasn't until 2008 that the duo transformed their vague assurances into a full-fledged tour. For those who were unable to catch the so-called "Cheech & Chong Light Up America" tour (its name adjusted accordingly for other countries, of course), the guys captured one of the evenings on film and have just released it on DVD as "Cheech & Chong's Hey Watch This," which is being appropriately advertised as "their first joint venture in 25 years."
I'd originally been booked to talk to both Cheech and Chong, but having been in the midst of battling an allergy attack which necessitated an unexpected trip to the doctor for some antibiotics, it seemed very possible that I might miss my window to talk with them at all. When I finally made it back it onto the call, however, I learned that Cheech Marin had gone MIA long before our scheduled interview slot. "Something came up," I was told, "and he's unavailable for the rest of the day." It was a little disappointing, sure, but…hey, look, man, it's still Tommy Chong. That's, like, almost better, you know?*
* WARNING: You may need to be high to agree with this premise.
Tommy Chong: Bullz-Eye.com, huh? Good name!
Bullz-Eye: (Laughs) Thanks! Well, I just finished watching "Hey Watch This," and it was a lot of fun to see you guys back in action again.
TC: Oh, good, I'm glad you liked it!
BE: Well, obviously, you guys have been back together for awhile now, but was there a specific impetus that led it to happen in the first place?
TC: Um, I think it was when The Police went on tour. They had no problems, and they hate each other. (Laughs) We figured that if they can bury the hatchet…and not in each other…then Cheech and I could. And, y'know, I'd always wanted to reunite with Cheech. That'd always been my plan eventually. That's why I always stayed doing Cheech & Chong material.
BE: So when the time came to do this tour, how did you decide what characters to do?
TC: I'm kind of the writer guy, so I write the shows, and…well, y'know, Cheech'll be, like, "Whatever. Whatever works." (Laughs) He's easy. The great thing about us is that I've got a good sense for how to start stuff and Cheech has a really good way of finishing and putting the polish on it, so we make a good team that way. And now we've got my wife and Cheech's son involved, so we really do have a nice little acting troupe going. I just love it.
BE: As far as the old material goes, did you just kind of go through a gradual process of finding out what still worked and what didn't?
TC: Not really. We knew that anything we'd do would work. It was just, "What do we want to do?" We had to make some choices, you know. It was like a casting call. "Hey, do you think you can still get on your knees and do the dogs?" "Yeah!" "Okay, then let's do the dogs!" And then for the second show, it's, like, "You know what? Let's not do the dogs anymore." (Laughs) "Let's do this instead." But it's just been…I mean, we're icons, man! When we first come on the stage, there's such loud applause that you can almost just go home after that. It's that warming. So we know that whatever we do is going to be received well, and we take advantage of that and do stuff that we've never done before.
BE: What's your favorite of the new material you've brought out?
TC: Right now, I think it's Cheech singing "Does Your Mama Know About Me?" That might be my favorite moment of the whole show, because there's no comedy there. It's just a straight song. And there's no orchestra: it's just me and Cheech. And it's a heartfelt song. And I love the fact that it's being sung again and heard again. That's nice. I love that.
BE: Of the classic material, I think the stuff that resonated the best for me was "Let's Make A Drug Deal," which absolutely still holds up…
TC: (Laughs) Oh, yeah! That's a good one! I want to do a DVD where you teach kids algebra by using drugs as a working tool.
BE: …and the Blind Melon Chitlin' bit was hilarious.
TC: I love Blind. Blind is…that's us. (Laughs) That's a very funny bit. Blind is one of my favorites, too.
BE: Now, I know you guys both did a "South Park" episode, but you recorded your parts independently of each other.
TC: Yep.
BE: Was that not long before the reunion talks got started?
TC: No, I think it was just before that. (Hesitates) No, wait, that might've actually kicked it off. That might've started the whole thing going, yeah.
BE: I just knew that it wasn't too terribly long after that when you guys did the "Get Out and Vote" bit for FunnyOrDie.com.
TC: That's right. For Obama! (Laughs) Now that was the first thing we'd really done together as Cheech and Chong in 25 years or whatever.
BE: Was it hard to find the chemistry again, or was it like riding a bike?
TC: It wasn't hard on my part, but Cheech…he had to lose 25 years of going the other way. (Laughs) But he turned it around. He had a hard time…man, this is so funny, 'cause he spent so much time trying to convince everybody that he was a serious actor, and the next thing you know, he's teamed up with me again. There goes that theory!
BE: It was pretty surreal seeing him standing on the stage in his red cap again.
TC: Oh, God, yeah. I told him we looked like 5th place finishers in a Cheech & Chong lookalike contest. (Laughs) I mean, we weren't even close. Not second place. Fifth!
BE: I wanted to ask you about a couple of the non-Cheech & Chong films that you guys worked on. What do you remember about working on "Yellowbeard"?
TC: I hung with Peter Boyle. When Peter Boyle saw us, man, it was like we were long-lost cousins or something. We shot it in Mexico, and we were always on the boat most of the time. Boat shoots are tough, with a lot of down time, but… (Starts to laugh) What else do I remember? That's about it. Oh, and Marty Feldman died. I gave him some advice and told him to get acupuncture and that he'd feel better. He said, "Oh, thank you very much, I feel much better." And a few hours later he died.
BE: So, uh, have you done acupuncture since then?
TC: Oh, sure. I do it all the time.
BE: Fair enough. What was the experience of "After Hours" like?
TC: "After Hours" was great. It was great working with (Martin) Scorsese, and it was so toned down from a Cheech & Chong shoot. It was so…minimalist. Like, Scorsese's mother cooks the meal for the crew! One of those things. A real low, low, low budget, with hardly anyone around when you were shooting, but it was a lot of fun. It was weird working at night. I'm not really a night person, and I'm not thrilled with night work, but when you're doing films, sometimes that what you've got to do.
BE: A question about one of your recordings: I've always wondered how you guys managed to get George Harrison, Billy Preston, and that host of solo Beatles sidemen (Klaus Voormann and Nicky Hopkins also appear) to play on "Basketball Jones."
TC: Well, we were in the studio at the time George was recording. George, Joni Mitchell, and everybody were all in A&M Studios. It was just one of those magical times when the mood just went up. We didn't even hear them do it! I wasn't there when George played. I saw him set up, but then Cheech and I were working on something else, so Lou Adler did all the music. When we heard the track, we were, like, "Whoa!"
BE: Do you know if George was a fan?
TC: Oh, George was a big fan, but he wasn't…he just said, "I suppose it's funny." He wasn't into the humor as much as he was, say, the Chicanos, for sure. But George was a great friend to us. I knew him quite well, and I loved George. He was a real solid guitar player.
BE: Do you have a favorite "Earache My Eye" cover?
TC: I like…uh, what's that hard rock band?
BE: Korn did one.
TC: Korn. That's it. I think Korn's was one of the best.
BE: I was listening to Soundgarden's version earlier today.
TC: Oh, yeah? How was it?
BE: It was great. They did it as a medley with Spinal Tap's "Big Bottom." (Laughs)
TC: Ohhhhhhh. Okay.
BE: What do you think is the most underrated Cheech & Chong movie?
TC: Probably "Things Are Tough All Over." Yeah, it was a little touchy because it came as the oil embargo was happening, and we were making fun of Arabs in it. We became Arabs, in fact. But it was fun. I really enjoyed the movie and so did Cheech, but it, uh, didn't really kill at the box office. (Laughs)
BE: How do you rate "The Corsican Brothers"?
TC: Well, personally, I liked it. I mean, I directed it, but it was my wife's first role ever, and I thought she did really good, and I thought Cheech's performance was just outstanding. But it was the first movie where Cheech didn't want to do any drugs in it. He's, like, "Let's not do the drugs. Let's not be the dopers in this movie." And it was the only movie that really failed at the box office, but Orion went out of business almost simultaneously, so that didn't exactly help, either. But, yeah, I enjoy it. That was our swan song, the last movie that Cheech and I did together, so it had a lot of meaning to me.
BE: There's been talk of a new movie. I know you've got the animated feature coming up, but there are also rumblings of an "Up in Smoke 2." Are those just rumblings?
TC: No, no, that's definitely happening. I'm into the third rewrite… (Laughs) …so I know where it's at, and it's gonna be really good. You know, I'm going back to basics. I'm going back to Pedro and Man. But I'm also adding a few other characters that've never been on screen before. I'm looking at this as being a really important movie.
BE: I liked the fact that you took the time in the concert film to talk about your jail time.
TC: Oh, yeah. People never forget that. I bring it up in conversation at various functions when there isn't even any reason to! I went to a function about pediatrics, and the next thing you know I'm talking about jail! (Laughs)
BE: You kind of touch on it in the film, but what's the strangest thing that you personally have ever used to make a bong?
TC: Let me think… (Drifts off) God, there've been a few things. Probably the Tampax tube, though.
BE: Oh, so that wasn't just a punchline?
TC: Oh, no. It did have a real familiar taste! (Laughs)
BE: You guys turned up on WWE Raw recently.
TC: We'll be on "Dancing with the Stars" next. (Laughs)
BE: Are you a wrestling fan?
TC: I love wrestling. I mean, they're actors, but they're stuntmen that really get in there and do some serious fighting. I love it.
BE: We're heading into the sunset here, but…why do you think sketch comedy isn't as popular as it used to be?
TC: Because nobody's really doing it. Other than "Saturday Night Live," I can't think of any other sketch people. I mean, maybe there are. There's, what, "Whose Line is It, Anyway?" Those guys are so good at what they do. But there are still guys who are doing bits. The sketch comedy that I liked growing up… (Long pause) C'mon, brain! Uh…Mel Brooks and Sid Caesar! I love bits where you laugh 'til you hurt yourself. Carol Burnett sketches, Tim Conway, those kind of crazy sketches. But you know who I really miss the most on the comedy circuit? Steve Martin. I really miss Steve Martin. I wish he'd go back to doing comedy. I'm not really a big bluegrass fan. (Laughs)
BE: Yeah, after I read his autobiography about his stand-up years, I was really jonesing to see him do stand-up again.
TC: Yeah! I mean, to me, he's a genius of comedy. He still is. He's not a big Cheech & Chong fan or a Tommy Chong fan at all, but I'm a big fan of his comedy. He was just brilliant. I saw him live, and I couldn't believe how brilliant this guy was.
BE: Um…the way you said that, do you know for a fact that he's not a Cheech & Chong fan?
TC: Wellllllll, yeah, you can pick up that vibe, you know. Like, Richard Pryor was. When we performed, we got off the stage and he helped us off. That was the respect he paid. He paid us huge respect. And I studied under Richard. He didn't know it, but he appeared in…there's a club in Hollywood that's not there anymore, the Bitter End West, and Richard opened the club. He did something like four days there in a row, and I was there every night, studying comedy. I saw how he put a show together, and I've used it ever since. Yeah, he was a fan. You can tell people who are our fans and who aren't our fans. I really liked Richard. George Carlin was never a really big fan, but I was always a fan of his. I loved George Carlin.
BE: Who's the most surprising person that's turned out to be a fan of yours?
TC: Well, there are a couple. There's Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.
BE: (Laughs) Really?
TC: Yeah, she's a big fan. Whenever we did a movie, she used to get a disguise and drive to the nearest town to sneak in and see it, then go back to the palace. (Laughs) Who else was a big fan? Peter Sellers. Peter Sellers was one of our biggest fans ever. We went over to England, and Peter brought us over just so that he could see us and welcome us to the country. Oh, God, he was such a beautiful guy. And funny. We hung together more than a few times. I ran into Peter a couple of times. We were good friends.
BE: Well, it's been a real pleasure talking to you, Tommy…
TC: Oh, thank you!
BE: …but I have to say that, personally, I'm feeling the irony that I'm interviewing you and yet have never actually smoked pot.
TC: (Bursts out laughing) Well, that shows you! You don't need it. It's medicine. You don't need medicine unless you're sick.
BE: At this point, I'm really only maintaining my status so that I can use it against my daughter when she grows up.
TC: Oh, I love that! (Laughs) And, you know, hopefully you'll never have to do that.
BE: Hopefully not. Though, in truth, if that situation rears its head, it really wouldn't bother me that much. I wouldn't be thrilled, but in the end, the decision not to smoke pot was my own. I'm not against pot. I just haven't smoked it.
TC: Good for you, man. And I love your open mind. That's great.
BE: Actually, now that we're here, we should probably close by discussing the proposal for the legalization of marijuana in California. I, uh, presume you're in favor…?
TC: Well, totally. (Laughs) It's a no-lose situation for us potheads, because it'll show America how many people want it legal. Even if it doesn't pass, they're still going to have to live with the fact that it is a medical necessity. And the other thing is that, if it does pass, it's going to help save the planet with hemp, because hemp products can replace all plastic products. Did you realize that?
BE: I did. I've read that.
TC: Yeah, I mean, they can make cars out of it. They can make anything out of hemp…and it's biodegradable, so it's not going to ruin our ecosystem.
BE: My fingers are crossed for you. All right, Tommy, it's been a pleasure talking to you.TC: You, too, my friend. Take care!

These are distinctions without difference and the philosophical sleight of hand of refuting definitive teachings of one view with the provisional teachings of another. The reality is, the method of neti neti leads to the same insight as vipashyana methods yield.Lotus_Bitch wrote: Actually, the whole framework and path that vipassana is based off of, is the 4-noble truths and 8-fold noble path. The basis of the technique is to recognize the 3 characteristics in all experiences (both the physical and metaphysical.)
Whereas neti, neti is based off of a framework and path, that posits a formless Absolute (i.e consciousness) that is: Unchanging, eternal, and independent of the constant flux of objective phenomena (posited as the 'knower' or 'watcher' behind phenomena.)
Of course the frameworks are different. However, the framework is not present at the time of contemplation in either case. How would it be possible that there is more than one non-dual state free from conceptuality?

Inspired by the "movie within the movie" finale of Walt Disney Pictures' box office hit film "Chicken Little," Disney's Chicken Little: Ace in Action features Ace, the superhero alter ego of Chicken Little, and the Hollywood versions of his misfit band of friends: Runt, Abby and Fish-Out-of-Water. The crew faces off against Foxy Loxy and her evil Amazonian sidekick, Goosey Loosey, who have an evil plan to take over Earth. Battle evil alien robots through multiple levels across the solar system and combat your foes in one of three distinct game play modes: Ace on foot as a soldier, Runt as the driver of an armored tank, or Abby as the pilot of a spaceship.
The original Chicken Little and his friends Abby, Runt and Fish we know from the film are featured in cut scenes throughout the game. Chicken Little receives a copy of the latest video game starring his super hero alter ego and invites his friends to come over and play it with him, in effect creating a "video game within a video game." The look and feel of Disney's Chicken Little: Ace in Action is an over the top parody of 1950s sci-fi film inspired by the glimpse into Ace's world from the film.

(AP) — Pilots at American Airlines, the second-largest carrier at O'Hare International Airport, are approving a new labor contract, which could clear the way for consideration of a merger with US Airways.
The pilots' union announced the results Friday. Pilots rejected a similar offer in August, but union leaders lobbied hard for passage the second time around.
Under the contract, pilots will get pay raises and own 13.5 percent of American Airlines' parent AMR Corp. after it emerges from bankruptcy protection.
Union officials and analysts say the vote gives AMR creditors certainty about the company's labor costs, making it easier for them to weigh which gives them more money — American on its own, or getting bigger through a merger with US Airways.

Latest News
Politics truly a hot-button issue at UTA
ARLINGTON -- James Spaniolo pointed to a political button that boasts: "Romney for President," and with a chuckle noted the year is 1968 -- not 2012.
"This year, I particularly like the Romney button -- George Romney," he said, noting that Mitt Romney's father sought the presidency decades ago.
Spaniolo leads the campus as president of the University of Texas at Arlington, but during this election season his personal collection of presidential campaign buttons is helping spark some political science lessons.
"It's a chance to take a peek into presidential election history," Spaniolo said.
About 150 presidential election buttons -- dating to the late 1800s -- are available for viewing at the campus library. Names, initials and slogans take onlookers through a visual history of presidential candidates.
Spaniolo's collection includes buttons that read: "LBJ," "JFK," "Dewey" and "Nixon."
Some state popular slogans from eras past. For example, in 1992 Ross Perot issued a button that stated: "It's time to clean out the barn." President Barack Obama and GOP candidate Mitt Romney smile pleasantly from the most current buttons in the display.
Spaniolo said his favorite is a large red, white and blue Lyndon B. Johnson pin.
"It's so big and he was a larger-than-life president," he said.
He began collecting the buttons with each election and then focused on finding pieces that documented all presidential elections in the 20th century. He has a few buttons that detail campaigns in the 19th century too.
Spaniolo's collection is the result of checking out antique dealers, estate sales and online vendors. Some are gifts from people who learned he was a collector.
Which candidates have proved the most difficult to find buttons for?
"It's hard to find Harry Truman buttons for some reason," Spaniolo said, adding that John F. Kennedy buttons are also challenging to secure. He pointed to a small button that read: "Truman."
"It took me a long time to get that simple button," he said eyeing the piece.
Does he have a least favorite? Yes, a George Wallace button.
"It says, 'Stand up for America,'" Spaniolo said. "He's really talking about standing up for segregation."
Joeli Gomez, the display's curator and a UTA librarian, says the buttons bring more attention to the election.
"It might inspire more people to vote," Gomez said.

Restaurant: Rancho Alegre
Chef: Abraham Rios
Cuisine type: Cuban
Restaurant bio: Rancho Alegre is owned by Juan Manuel Rodriguez, a Venezuelan native who moved from the mountains of South America to Savannah eight years ago, and his daughter, Melody. The father-daughter team created the extensive menu complete with 28 entrees, all representative of Cuban culture and its Spanish, Caribbean and Creole influences. To top it off, Rodriguez also books live jazz music on weekends and provides his guests with a lengthy list of handpicked South American wines. "We have 20 different kinds of Malbecs alone," he says. "You could say I'm a bit of an aficionado."
Chef bio: At the age of 16, Abraham Rios moved from Mexico to Savannah and has been with Rancho Alegre since day one. He says his favorite dish to make and eat is the Pineapple Stuffed with Seafood, but Rodriguez claims Rios excels at making their house specialty - paella. But regardless of the dish, Rios says the most fun and most important ingredient in Cuban cooking is the combination of spices.
Favorite dish: Ropa Vieja, or "old clothes." The name describes the shreds of meat, peppers and onions resembling a heap of colorful clothes.
For braising:
3 pounds flank steak, trimmed
2 carrots, coarsely chopped
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
2 celery ribs, coarsely chopped
1 bay leaf
3 garlic cloves, crushed lightly
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon whole black peppercorns
Other ingredients:
2 green bell peppers, cut into quarter-inch strips
1 red onion, cut into quarter-inch strips
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups braising liquid, plus additional if desired
One 14- to 16-ounce can whole tomatoes with juice, chopped
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/4 inch strips
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/4 inch strips
½ cup pimiento-stuffed Spanish olives, drained and halved
1. In a five-quart kettle, combine all braising ingredients with two quarts of water and simmer, uncovered, for one-and-a-half hours, or until beef is tender. Remove kettle from heat and cool the meat in the liquid for 30 minutes.
2. Transfer the meat to a platter and cover. Strain the braising liquid through a colander and into a bowl. Return the braising liquid to the kettle and boil until reduced to three cups, about 30 minutes. Cool braising liquid completely and chill it and the beef separately, covered.
3. In the kettle, cook the green bell peppers and onion in 2 tablespoons oil over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. While vegetables are cooking, pull meat into shreds about three inches long.
4. Add the shredded meat, braising liquid, tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, cumin, oregano and salt and pepper to taste to the vegetable mix and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
5. While stew is simmering, in a large skillet cook red and yellow bell peppers in the remaining two tablespoons of oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened.
6. Stir peppers into stew and add additional braising liquid if desired. Simmer, uncovered, for five minutes. Stir in olives and simmer, uncovered, for five more minutes. Serve Ropa Vieja with white rice and black beans.

For a more recent update regarding Typhoon Megi's approach to China CLICK HERE
The Philippines is making preparations ahead of a powerful Super Typhoon set to strike the island nation Monday morning with effects being felt on Sunday. The storm, known locally as Juan, is feared to have the same flooding potential as Typhoon Ketsana in Sept 2009. Typhoon Megi (a.k.a. Typhoon Juan) has behaved exactly as expected and it is now a very powerful storm designated as Super Typhoon Megi, Super Typhoon Juan or Super Typhoon 15W. Whichever moniker you choose, it is a force to be reckoned with as its energy release compares favorably to an excess of the global electric generating capacity or as an equivalent to the largest yield atomic weapon every minute. Another estimate puts a well developed tropical cyclone energy release on par with 500,000 Hiroshima style atomic bombs per day.
In any event, the inhibiting factors to the storm have gone by the wayside as anticipated and the central pressure has dropped to 908 mb, which is extremely low. To provide a frame of reference of how that compares to intense hurricanes in the North Atlantic, Hurricane Camille in 1969 bottomed out at 909 mb and had winds approaching 200 mph. Hurricane Andrew in 1992 had a minima pressure of 922 mb and the lowest that Katrina had in 2005, well before landfall, was 920 mb. Super Typhoon Megi is not too far from the all-time lowest recorded atmospheric pressure which occured in 1979 with Typhoon Tip, which had a remarkable central pressure of 870 mb. Previously, Typhoon Ida held the record of 879 mb when it was 750 miles east of Luzon (very close to the current location of Megi-450 miles NE of Manila) in 1958. So, extremely intense storms in the region are not totally uncommon. The clouds that had been obscuring the center have gone by the way-side and a well defined, relatively small eye has developed.
A pressure approaching 900 mb can easily support higher winds than the 3 UTC (Z) Oct 17 2010 analysis of 140 kt sustained winds of 140 kts and gusts to 170 kts, which translates to sustained winds of 161 mph or 259 kph and gusts to 195 mph or 315 kph. Some further intensification is possible as the forecast calls for sustained winds to increase to 145 kts and gusts to 175 kts. While the pressure can support even higher winds than that, at this point, they are so strong that it almost becomes academic in relation to the destruction potential and the ultimate intensity at landfall will most likely be subject to eyewall replacement cycles. When a tropical cyclone goes through an eyewall replacement cycle, central winds typically fall off but the breadth of gale force winds expands. That was the case with Hurricane Katrina which "only" had winds of 125 mph at landfall as it headed into Mississippi but 100 mph winds were felt all the way to Mobile. Another factor that may inhibit substantial intensification would be a slight disruption of the northern outflow. This is an example of why it is difficult for an extremely intense tropical cyclone to maintain its maxima for long as environmental conditions must be perfect and perfect conditions rarely last long. Nevertheless, as it stands, the official forecast from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center puts the winds around 140 kts at landfall sometime after 00 UTC (Z) October 18, 2010 north of Palanan and east of Tuguegarao. It would not be out of the question for winds to exceed forecast levels at some point in time. The timing of eyewall replacement cycles, however, is beyond current forecast abilities until the beginning of the cycle change is actually observed.
As was anticipated, the trof of low pressure near Okinawa that was causing a weakness in the steering ridge to the North has moved northeast and the ridge filled in. Consequently, the previous west northwest track of Megi has shifted westward at 12 kts. The ridge is expected to continue to build such that the westward track should change around the time that the storm gets to the coast of Luzon such that it moves west-southwest. That track would take Megi over the mountainous regions of northern Luzon but well north of Manila. The storm surge on the eastern, northeastern and northern part of the island will be extreme but exact levels will be determined by the geogrpahy of the coast. The mountains will enhance the rain totals which will most likely be extreme. Even as it loses intensity rapidly over the mountains, the circulation will be such that there will be an onshore flow off of the South China Sea toward Manila for a period of time so rain totals will most likely be high on both sides of Luzon.
If there is any good news to report it is that the forward speed may increase a bit and so the center of the storm may be over Luzon for only about 12 hours. That's plenty of time to do plenty of damage but at least its not going to crawl across the Philippines and extend the high risk for catastrophic flooding. By 12UTC (Z) October 18, 2010 Typhoon Megi should re-emerge over the ocean in the South China Sea with winds forecast to have been reduced to 95 kts. However, once over the warm waters of the ocean, Typhoon Megi will regain some strength but most likely will not get back to it's former self…that would be extremely rare and there simply will not be time nor will the environmental conditions support such a scenario. Even so, It is expected to get back to 115 kt sustained winds by 00UTC (Z) October 22, 2010.
Previously, the extended forecast track had suggested a second landfall on the South China island of Hainan followed by a final landfall after crossing the Gulf of Tonkin in Vietnam. Modeling data though has formed a consensus though of another trof coming down through Asia.
That trofiness is expected to influence Megi northwest after it enters the South China Sea. The depth of that trof will determine the fate of Megi. If it is slow or not so strong, then Megi may run into China south of Hong Kong, though it would still be close enough to affect that city. If the trof is a little deeper, then it could turn Megi for a more direct affect on Hong Kong and if the trof is fast and very deep, it could conceivably turn the storm north and then northeast. While there may not be sufficient room in the sea for this to occur without striking land, that scenario would put Taiwan at risk of a hit from the Southwest and potentially even Japan after that. It's way too soon to tell. One thing seems invevitable: the Northern Philippines will be affected adversely of the effects of a major tropical cyclone by 00UTC (Z) 18 October 2010.

On the evening of July 17, 1996, Trans World Airlines Flight 800 exploded and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean shortly after takeoff from New York's JFK Airport. All 230 people onboard were killed.
After a lengthy, costly investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the explosion was caused by flammable fuel/air vapors in a fuel tank, possibly sparked by a short circuit. However, a new documentary due to be aired on EPIX next month challenges that conclusion in a big way.
Six former investigators told the makers of "Flight 800" that they now believe that a missile may have hit the aircraft — a long-discounted theory. According to CBS News, the crucial piece of evidence is a new form of radar analysis that shows there was a high-velocity explosion, and that debris was ejected perpendicular and southward from the aircraft.
These six investigators also believe that evidence from the official NTSB-led probe was falsified and witness testimonies ignored, according to CBS. The investigators have now filed a petition to have the case reopened.
The TWA-800 flight has long been the subject of conspiracy theories, including theories that there was a bomb on board or that the flight was hit by a missile. The makers of the documentary believe that the new angle will help relatives and friends get closure. "The family members need to know what happened to their loved ones," co-producer Tom Stalcup told CNN's "New Day."
However, not all family members are so sure. "Personally I can't keep going over it again and again," John Seaman, the longtime leader of an organization of TWA 800 victims' families, told the Associated Press. "I think most families feel that way."
The documentary is due to be shown on July 17th, 2013, the 17th anniversary of the crash.
You can watch a trailer for the documentary below:

I'm brand new to WetPixel.com, and pretty much brand new as a photographer. I'm a dive instructor who's looking for a little 'more' out of my personal dives, so photography seems like a pretty rewarding challenge.
I just picked up a D7000, which I'm excited to splash with it soon!!
I really hope to learn a lot from everyone here!

Been a photographer for a very long time, back when a professional camera was a medium or large format one. Been a scuba instructor almost as long. My first camera was an argus C3, My first Medium format camera was a C-330 (interchangeable dual lens), first large format was a speed graphic and my first digital was a Fuji.
Originally learned under Minor White and Ansel Adams and the zone system and over the years have done pretty much every type of photography.
Currently, I do most of my diving between Panama City and Pensacola Florida where diving tends to be a lot of the 3 "d's"... Deep, Dark and Dirty.
As such, most of my photography is portrait images of fish, which have been used by a variety of Universities, The smithsonian and just recently the next addition of Reef books.
I teach underwater photography, mostly with advanced point and shoot cameras, and take pictures with everything from a simple point and shoot to a panasonic GH-1.

My name is Giovanni and I live and work in Thailand as a diving instructor. My girlfriend is a professional videographer, and we recently purchased a DSLR with underwater housing.
Since then I've been fun diving everytime I could and really getting into UW photography.
I love this forum and I'm really looking forward to exchange stories, info and tips.
Posted 12 March 2012 - 06:21 PM
Just joined up and very happy to do so. I've been diving for 39 of my 48 years and am a professional photographer topside, doing a lot of aerial work, but love to visually play underwater. Shooting a Canon T2i with a Nauticam housing after years with the point and shoots and it's a new blue planet. Love the Quarterly and level of expertise and involvement here.

I'm primarily a cold water diver in Seattle but enjoy forays to warmer climes and bluer water.
I've just taken the plunge and bought my first DSLR after years of happily shooting the Canon G10. I bought a 7D and just ordered the Aquatica housing.
I'm gearing up for an 11-day trip to Curacao and Bonaire (I've been to the latter before, once) - it'll be my first time in the water with the new rig!
Glad to have this forum to answer some of my numerous questions... I'd be surprised if I don't have to log in often during my vacation.

Just got a Hugyfot housing for my D7000, along with all the toys, courtesy of Andy Fenn, at Blue Orb/Hugyfot UK.
Just need some time over the next few weeks to get out diving and try my new kit out. Will provide an update as I progress.

I started diving when I was 14, I am now "older" and my body says "no more." Huge bummer. So here I am trying to sell my beloved camera equipment and I am finding out that perhaps it has become a bit of a boat anchor as it is all film based.
Does anybody out there purchase Nikonos's and film based housings? I have Ikelite strobes and strobe arms coming out my ying yang (can you say that on here?). Any how as I reconnect with the diving community, after a lengthy break I am reminded of why I liked diving so much. Divers are just good people, enthusiastic and fun.

Information by Country
Colombia: Background
While significant achievements have been made in lowering the maternal mortality rate, it is still high (71.4 per 100,000 live births) due to poor access to prenatal and institutional obstetric care. Infant mortality is higher in rural areas. An intensification of immunization activities managed to re-establish a coverage of 85 per cent or higher with all vaccines by the end of 2002. Of the total deaths in 2001 due to accidents, 24 per cent occurred in the under-15 age group.
Coverage in basic education is 92 per cent. The average number of school years completed rose from three to 3.7 years for girls and from 3.1 to 3.8 years for boys, between the beginning of the 1990's and 2000. Girls have lower repetition and withdrawal rates than boys. Some 87 per cent of the children receiving urban primary education are promoted to the next grade, while in rural areas this rate is 78 per cent. Pre-school coverage is still very low, despite the increase from 31.6 per cent in 1993 to 46.8 per cent in 2000. Indigenous and Afro-Colombian children living in rural areas have much lower access to education.
Adolescents are initiating sexual activity at an increasingly early age and are entering into marriage at a later age, implying more casual sex encounters.

Who's Calling Dominique Strauss-Kahn's Parisian Pad a 'Sex Den'?
French politician Aurelie Filippetti reportedly told police that she never visited supposed sex-binger Dominique Strauss-Kahn at his Parisian apartment because people warned her that the ex-IMF chief maybe attacked women there. Did she actually call DSK's place a "sex den," though?
If she did, it's not apparent from the Post's article, "I was warned of DSK sex den." Although the title's presented as a quote, the story itself offers no statements by Filippetti in which she uses "sex den," "sex lair," or any other technical real estate term used to describe residences in which politicians allegedly commit sex crimes. Maybe the Post editors just didn't like "notorious address"—the phrase that other media outlets say Filippetti used when referring to Strauss-Kahn's place—and wanted to go with something shorter and catchier for their header? Hmmmm.
At least the paper and the pol both agree that DSK is a "satyr". Yet he's never seen playing his pipe, at least not in public. Ceci n'est pas une pipe double-entendre, but a general observation.
In other news, Nafissatou Diallo—the New York City hotel maid whom DSK allegedly tried to sexually assault—is going to be on Good Morning America on Monday. "I want justice. I want him to go to jail," she says. You might recall that Diallo's suing the Post for libel, after the paper accused her of working as a prostitute in a Brooklyn hotel (in Post-speak, that's a "sex den complex").
