corpse flower


corpse flower


Earlier this week, B-Side Blog reader Sisofjash sent me an email urging me to go to the nearby Huntington Botanical Gardens in Pasadena to check out the very rare and supposedly very malodorous blooming of a "corpse flower." This exciting event only happens once every few years, and apparently, it's been witnessed by humans less than a hundred times EVER. I'm not a big flower person, but I always like an adventure, and I hadn't been to the botanical gardens in several years; so I thought, why not? I wrangled my friend Lorie, and the two of us headed East to Pasadena.

Pics of our afternoon in the gardens, culminating with the corpse flower, after the jump...

iPhone 3G S didn’t convince people to sit in a line for it. Back when the iPhone was a hot new product in 2007, people were really anxious to get their hands on the new device but know the interest seems to have diminished. Is the most difficult economic times or the fact that the iPhone 3G S can not easily reach your home now? Or is it that people do not qualify for iPhone 3G S subsidized upgrade?
For the third consecutive summer, Apple released a new phone, and for the third consecutive summer, crowds flocked to buy it--though perhaps not in as large a number as they had in the past.
Still, people turned out at stores across the country to pick up an iPhone 3G S. In Arlington, Va., the crowds returned to the Clarendon Apple Store for the new iPhone's launch. Fifteen minutes before the 7 a.m. opening, a line extended about halfway along the back of the considerable length of the mall.

U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration officials said Wednesday that the 37-year-old Giove, of Chesapeake, Va., and 30-year-old Eric Canori of Wilton were charged Tuesday with conspiring to possess and distribute more than 100 kilograms of marijuana.

The technical sergeant promotion list will be released publicly June 18 at 8 a.m. Central Standard Time on the Air Force Personnel Center's public Web site and on AFPC's "Ask" site at Spotlight and Enlisted Promotions. In 1997, the master sergeant and technical sergeant promotion release dates were combined to streamline the release procedure. However, since the inception of the virtual Enlisted Promotion Release Application, Air Force Personnel Center officials have made great strides to improve the promotion release process.
At 9 a.m. CST on June 18, Airmen can access their score notices on Virtual Military Personnel Flight and the AF Portal. Those selected for technical sergeant will be promoted according to their promotion sequence number beginning in August. As a reminder, the selections are tentative until the data verification process is complete, which is no later than 10 days after the promotion release date. AFPC officials will notify Airmen, via military personnel flights and military personnel elements, if their selection is in question.

  • Charles Nenner is "a natural pattern recognizer." His analysis is not a science, it is an art, although it is as complicated as rocket science.
  • He uses three principal tools to analyze financial markets:
    1. A technical model based on about 200 indicators (such as moving averages, put-call ratios, advance-decline ratios, insider sales, up-down volume ratios). This tool generally prevails when his other tools disagree.
    2. Empirical cycles (distances between tops and bottoms) over multiple horizons, refined via Fourier analysis. Cycles are as reliable as airplanes, reflecting consistent human interpretations of events that are impervious to learning. Cycles will always work because politicians and economists do not want to believe that economies are deterministic (and constituents therefore not in need of their services). Longer cycles are generally more powerful than shorter ones. Cycles indicate direction, but not level. Other methods determine level via measuring upward and downward price momentum.

Lazzara discovered his new furnishings at AMC Liquidators _ "Value in Volume" is their slogan _ a South Florida company that hauled out 25 truckloads of luxury office goods from the disgraced businessman's Miami offices last week and put them on the market.

Stanford had adorned four floors in a downtown high-rise with Oriental rugs, regal marble-topped tables and leather couches. He had bronze eagles (the symbol of his company, Stanford Financial Group) and blown-up photos of Palm Beach County polo grounds that he sponsored.

There's even a tapestry of Louis XIV, France's legendary 17th Century "sun king."

The quality of this stuff is just really nice," said Lazzara, standing in the AMC showroom and patting the nearly new desk. He thinks he saved 70 percent off of retail. "I got a steal," he said.

Then he added, "The comment was hers, not mine," claiming Michelle Obama made a recent remark about humans descending from apes. The Daily News could find no such comment.

"'Humor' like this is nothing new for South Carolina Republicans - even as the party claims to be focusing on 'outreach' efforts to minorities," said Folks, a former gubernatorial spokesman and widely read blogger. "The fact that Palmetto [State] Republicans don't get that this is a serious problem for them baffles us."

Columbia's mayor called on DePass to apologize properly. "The comment is reprehensible. There's nothing funny about it," said Democratic Mayor Bob Coble. "What he needs to do is simply apologize in a straightforward manner."

DePass, former chairman of the Richland County GOP, was an early backer of George W. Bush and co-chairman of Rudy Giuliani's 2008 campaign in Richland County, the state's largest.

Calvin Klein, the company that makes perfumes and fragrances, is under fire for it's new billboard in Soho, which people find too sexy. Indeed, Calvin Klein, you get an "F" for socially irresponsible marketing. Do you guys have children? Do you walk on the streets with your 6-8 years old children?

As you can see from the Calvin Klein Billboard in this story photo it's too sexy. The depicts a topless young woman lying on top of a barechested boy while kissing a second shirtless male.

Calvin Klein tells the New York Daily News that the intention of the billboard "was to create a very sexy campaign that speaks to our targeted demographic." People and those who pass by don't think so. This is simple a bad socially responsible marketing and should be removed immediately.

US Iranians show poll passion - BBC Farsi News. In a hotel corridor in west Los Angeles three teenage girls were singing a song in Farsi while at least 100 people stood in line nearby.

By Rajesh Mirchandani In a hotel corridor in west Los Angeles three teenage girls were singing a song in Farsi while at least 100 people stood in line nearby.

It was a patriotic song that many recognised.

But the singers were not the only ones keen to make their voices heard.

This was one of three impromptu polling stations in hotels in Southern California where Iranians living in the US could vote in their country's presidential election.

And vote they did.
