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...

Palmer's Wife: Chad's Not Staying With Us,
Dayton Daily News - Shaelyn Palmer wasn't happy with rumors that Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco planned to stay with the family in July.

Ochocinco told the media that he would being staying at Carson Palmer's house while he worked out with the quarterback next month.

"As soon as I walked in the door from work the other day, she just gave me that look," Palmer said. "I'm like, 'Whoa, calm down. It's media stuff. It's Chad being Chad.'

"I told her, 'Don't worry. I haven't made any commitments to having to clear out the boxes in the (spare) room to make a bed for him. Don't worry about that. It's not going to happen.'

iphone 3gs lines


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.

this is very hot news, Missy Giove Was In Custody Drugs Case,

Former mountain biking world champion Melissa “Missy” Giove was in custody Thursday on federal drug charges after authorities said they seized more than 200 pounds of marijuana from a truck she was driving in upstate New York.

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.

Authorities said they seized nearly 400 pounds of pot from the truck and from Canori’s home outside Saratoga Springs, 25 miles north of Albany.

Giove and Canori were in the custody of U.S. Marshals pending detention hearings Thursday afternoon in Albany.

air force personnel center


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

• 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.

amc liquidators

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.

Fields, in, I think, “My Little Chickadee”, is one of two bartenders – while a mousy-looking barkeep polishes glasses in the background, Fields regales a customer with a tale of bravery when he beat up (”Chicago Lil?

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.

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.

jon voight


Actor Jon Voight has filed a malicious prosecution suit against a New Zealand film company and its lawyers that claims they sued him and his manager's elderly parents solely to get a settlement from the manager.
Voight, along with Hank and Dorothy Paul, alleged in a Superior Court complaint that Daybreak Pacific, Ltd. and producers Paul and Mark Huljich had no reasonable grounds for suing them for millions of dollars in federal court in 2006.
"Defendants believed ... Steven Paul (Voight's manager) would act favorably toward the defendants herein in attempt to relieve Steven Paul's parents of the abuse, embarrassment, pressure, penalty, oppression, stress, and the like" caused by being sued. They allegedly had the same motive for suing Voight.According to the new suit, the plaintiffs won a summary judgment in the Daybreak Pacific federal suit last February.

Common wisdom has it that this is the year of the mega flight deal. All the factors are in place: Fuel prices are holding, demand for seats has slumped and airlines are in dire financial need. Logic dictates that cheap flights should be raining down upon us like a spring shower.

Certainly, there are deals to be had. Except, that is, for the destination you had in mind. The last time you visited your favourite travel Web site, you may have found prices to be pretty standard and decided to bide your time until those fabled last-minute deals arrive.

You're not alone. "We're seeing a lot of inquiries, a lot of people waiting for the big deal ... But, we have less inventory than we had last year, less flights, less seats, less and less of these last-minute opportunities, unless you're incredibly flexible," says Allison Wallace, spokeswoman for Flight Centre, the travel agency chain.

There may be good news for homeowners who are struggling to pay their monthly mortgage or who are already behind on their payments.

Many struggling borrowers may be eligible for a modification under the Obama administration's Making Home Affordable program. Although several conditions must be met, the program presents the most aggressive loan restructuring options to date.

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about the Home Affordable Modification program courtesy of mortgage investor Freddie Mac:

Are all mortgage loans eligible for modification?

While millions of troubled borrowers are expected to qualify for Home Affordable Modifications, there are some restrictions. You must own and currently occupy the property, so real estate investors and some owners of vacation properties will not be eligible. Your mortgage must also have been originated on or before January 1, 2009.

Thai rath publisher disturbing photographs of Davi carradin
The family of the late David Carradine seem to be outraged over the pictures of David’s dead body that were published by the Thai newspaper Thai Rath.

The Thai Rath newspaper, which is a regional newspaper published in Bangkok in Thai language, ran disturbing pictures of Carradine’s corpse in the front and as well as in its inside pages. The pictures published on the Saturday cover of the newspaper Thai Rath shows a naked body of Carradine suspended from a clothes bar in a suite closet. The hands apparently bound together above the head and feet on the floor. While the face is blacked out, other more explicit parts of the picture are censored. And, the relatives of late Carradine do like any part of it.

world cup qualifying

SEOUL, June 6 (Reuters) - North Korea spurned their chance of earning an early playoff place for next year's World Cup finals in South Africa when they were held to a goalless draw with Iran on Saturday.The draw was also a blow to three-times qualifiers Iran, who needed three points and now face an uphill struggle to reach the tournament.Playing before an impassioned crowed in Pyongyang, North Korea, second in Group Two behind rivals South Korea, were outclassed in the first half by a determined Iran side.

Vahid Hashemian could have put the visitors ahead four minutes into the match when he shot on the turn and drew a good save from Ri Myong-guk.

After prolonged spells of dangerous Iranian attacks, Hashemian came close again on 40 minutes when his half-volley from eight metres after Ali Karimi's perfect cross went just wide of the post.

Company of Heroes is often praised as a great step forward for the strategy genre that appeals to both casual gamers as well as the hardcore strategy fans. I don’t necessarily play a lot of strategy games, but I really enjoyed the original Company of Heroes and also viewed the Opposing Fronts expansion as a fairly good addition. I’ve downloaded many third-party maps, because I simply can’t get enough. It’s fun, you don’t have to spend an hour building up your base, gameplay is very simple, and great action begins very quickly. Most people seem to have the same impression. When I first heard of the Tales of Valor expansion, I was really excited to start playing again. After completing the campaigns and spending some time with multiplayer, though, I’m definitely not very pleased. When you look at the price point/gameplay time ratio, it’s apparent to me that THQ and Relic have turned on the milking machine, which seems much too soon.

Stryper guitarist Oz Fox and founder of Hookers for Jesus Annie Lobért are set to be married this evening, June 5. Fox and Lobért met in February 2008. The wedding will be broadcast live on The Church of Las Vegas website.

Annie Lobért's founded the ministry Hookers for Jesus in 2005 as an "an international, faith-based organization that addresses the realities of human sex trafficking, sexual violence, and exploitation linked to pornography and the sex industry." The website says that while Hookers for Jesus is "committed to abolishing human sex trafficking on a global scale, our urban ministry outreach, community awareness, and transitional programs are based out of Las Vegas, Nevada."

so you think you can dance season 5 top 20


While driving in to work yesterday, I found myself on the phone (hands free, promise!) debating with my mother about whether Mia Michaels was (A) an insufferable and self-absorbed know-it-all or (B) an insufferable and self-absorbed know-it-all who makes for great TV and without whom So You Think You Can Dance would be a far less interesting show. In case it wasn't already completely clear, I was arguing in Mia's defense, and my basic point was this: Why broadcast a televised dancing competition show if you're not going to include one or two diva choreographers with wacky ''artistic'' hair, an imperious manner, and a tendency to regard auditioning dancers over one's glasses with a face that could easily lead a random passerby to think one was repressing flatulence? Without Mia, the show would be more pleasant and easy-going, sure, but it would also more ordinary.

The Gossip Girl spinoff remains marginally alive despite not getting a series pickup for fall. CW president Dawn Ostroff says, "It was the toughest year we've ever had, figuring out what to pick up, because [our pilots] were all really, really good. We do have room for another midseason show. We have some reality, and we'll probably have another scripted drama. We're just going to take a beat and see where we are. In all honesty, I think the Gossip Girl spinoff is the show that we would love to be able to find a place for as the season goes on." (There were no similarly encouraging words about Body Politic with Jason Dohring, Brian Austin Green, Minka Kelly and Gabrielle Union.)
Reaper, Privileged, The Game and Everybody Hates Chris are confirmed dead.

Looks like Yannique Barker, or Stack$, may have rapped his way into the heart of bad girl Brooke Hogan and the pair may be getting Serious.

Stack$ is the nickname given to Yannique Barker by fellow rapper Brisco. Yannique and Brook Hogan were seen out for a stroll on a Florida beach recently where the pair are filming the video for Brooke’s new single. The pair were frolicking around together like lovebirds.Barker, 24, is no stranger to Brooke either. He’s been featured on My Number off Brooke’s debut album, Undiscovered so the pair have been around each other for a while.But don’t let the Stack$ tattooed up bad boy rapper image fool you. His father is the founder of a hugely successful aerospace company and Yannique himself attended Landon in Bethesda, MD, a prestigious all-boys prep school.Other than the obvious size difference between the two, Yannique Barker and Brooke Hogan could be right for each other, as long as he’s the one wearing the high heels.

ortega henderson


Rapper Ortega Henderson, a friend of Nelly's St. Lunatics crew, died last week from complications from gun shot wounds. The 25-year-old was shot May 16 and later succumbed to his injuries at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis.

Although complete details revealing why Henderson was shot have yet to be released, fellow St. Lunatic's associate Kiyjuan Henderson confirmed the news. "He got mixed up in the streets, but he was so talented, we thought we could pull him out of it," said Henderson. "He was on the right path for a minute, but times are hard and he started getting around the wrong people."
Henderson, who performed under the name "Tega," was an up-and-coming rapper in St. Louis and had been featured on the same bill as rapper Nelly. He was a member of the rap group Da Camp and was working on their album prior to the shooting. The group was hoping gain more exposure through their affiliation with St. Lunatics member Murphy Lee.

An administration official confirmed that Barack Obama will name Rep. John McHugh, R-N.Y., to serve as the civilian Army chief. An announcement is scheduled just before 11 a.m. CDT.

Geren, 57, was elected to the U.S. House in 1989 to replace former House Speaker Jim Wright, and served there until 1997.

A conservative Democrat, he accepted President George W. Bush’s offer to work at as a special assistant to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and he started work one week before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

That's if his son Daniel Schlereth pitches for the Arizona Diamondbacks. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, if the younger Schlereth, a lefty, pitches for the D'backs, he and his father will become the sixth father-son combination to either played in the NFL or the MLB. If he pitches, it is expected to be in relief. Schlereth was the 26th overall pick by the Arizona Diamondbacks last June. In the Double-A ball this season, Schlereth has three saves with a 1.42 ERA. He also has 21 strikeouts in 19 innings.

The elder Schlereth, a lineman, won two Super Bowls with the Denver Broncos and one with the Washington Redskins. The other tandems include the likes of Baseball Hall of Famers Lou Brock and Yogi Berra. Here are the other father-son tandems:

zipcar


My 2002 Prius can't be beat for everyday driving. I regularly get 40-45 mpg, saving me hundreds of dollars every year on gas. It's got a lot of pep, so highway driving is a snap. And its terrific turning radius and compact size make it a dream to park, whether at the mall or on a city street.
But given its compact size (it seats four comfortably, five only if the person in the middle back seat has short legs), it's not the vehicle you'd willingly use to pick up your daughter -- and all her stuff -- from college, the challenge I faced recently.
Fortunately, I'm a member of ZipCar, the car company that lets you rent vehicles by the hour or the day. ZipCar, whose motto is "Wheels When You Want Them," is gaining in popularity because it makes using a car so cheap compared to owning one.

who bought hummer


No body knows who bought Hummer. General Motors sold Hummer to mystery buyer just one day after?
GM says it has entered into a memorandum of understanding to sell Hummer. The deal will preserve HUMMER as global off-road brand and will secure 3000 jobs in the United States. However, General Motors' release has no word as to who bought Hummer.
General Motors had said in April (according to CNN) that it was considering three serious offers for Hummer. Reuters report doesn't know who bought Hummer either, but has some more information about bidders who were interested in Hummer in April. According to it, non of the bidders are automakers. One bidder is from USA and the other two are wealthy individuals from overseas.
