Two and a Half Men star calls show 'filth', wants us to stop watching

Re: Two and a Half Men star calls show 'filth', wants us to stop watch
So let's see if I understand things: this guy doesn't want to be on the show, but rather than having the balls to walk away he's staying on it, accepting a "filthy" pay check which is probably more per episode than most of us are paid in a year. And on top of everything, he's telling people not to watch it on religious grounds?
At least Charlie Sheen was funny the way he left. This is just sad.

No good deed goes unpunished. Susan Boyle was returning home last night when she reportedly encountered a young man inside her council house in Blackburn, Scotland. "The owner was very distressed to find someone had been within her home," said local police. "And we are keen to speak to anyone who can assist with our investigations." A 16-year-old was detained in connection with the trespassing, but released without charge. "I'm fine. It's in the hands of the police now," she told fans outside her home this morning.
Ironically, Boyle had just flown back from London, where she recorded her vocal for Simon Cowell's charity single for Haitian relief, a cover of R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts" (a peculiar choice, considering the song's subject is teenage depression—is Simon worried Haiti will kill itself?). Among the other stars joining Boyle on the track are Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus, Bon Jovi, Robbie Williams, Mika, Leona Lewis, Take That and Rod Stewart—whose presence reportedly made Boyle "shy" at the recording. D'ya still think he's sexy, Susan?

SunEdison Completes Solar Systems at California Hospital, Prison
Aug. 28 (Bloomberg) -- SunEdison Inc., the best-performing solar company this year, completed solar power systems at a California state hospital and a prison.
A 2.6 megawatt system at the Coalinga State Hospital and a 1.6 megawatt unit at the Pleasant Valley State Prison together will provide enough electricity annually to power about 800 homes, SunEdison said in a statement today.
The St. Peters, Missouri-based company has installed 40 megawatts of solar at 12 locations for the California Department of Corrections, Bob Powell, president for North America at SunEdison, said in the statement. SunEdison subsidiary TerraForm Power Inc., will own the solar systems and sell power under 20-year agreements.

|Just art of my characters my awesome friends have drawn for me!
The World of LarutanI decided to write a bit of a field guide to Scarlet's world, since I've kinda been hush-hush about it, I hope this helps get you excited for the future chapters, as well as giving you a more complex grip on the setting in general, to prevent you from being lost!The World of Larutan by Jutsei
The Universe And Its Makers
In the Infinite Cosmos, there lay many universes, each one with it's own unique worlds, races, and species. They may or may not have beings often called "Gods". In this universe, there are two Gods of Creation. Huo, the writer of the Cosmos, who creates many things, be it a life form, a planet, or a simple invention, he decides how it works, what it does, and where it will be, but he can only make the basic concept, and how it fits into the grand picture... And his dear partner, Tat, the Artist of all Life. She brings color, personality, and most importantly, life into Huo's creations so that they come together in harmony. They cannot exist without the other.
Huo's appearance is
|Just art of my characters my awesome friends have drawn for me!
| A very nice girl from Malaysia, we get along really well, and she's a great artist! She is the one who drew Scarlet's reference, and might work on a comic of Scarlet's story, perhaps

Another new friend, he's very fun to talk to.
Met this person recently, she's very nice and I really like talking to her. Plus she's got some very very nice art.
Probably the weirdest person on the list, he's strange but really creative and nice. He's got a comic going that's pretty awesome and unique, but a large number of things on his page are strange/fetishy, so fair warning.
VEry nice, very kind, very awesome. I RP with her a lot. Also makes some good sprite comics.
Shes an awesome artist, and an even better friend. Her art is very stylish
Another good friend, this one is more...risque? Either way, they've got top notch art. Give them a watch

text: Depends on how much money you want to spend. There are audio software programs (for big $$$) that you can remove the scratch sounds from vinyl (onto mp3 or wav file). I have a 1957 "A Day At Disneyland With Jiminy Cricket and Walt Disney" I was able to considerably clean up. There were so many scratches that it would be impossible to get them all out, but I was able to make it listenable and restore missing parts (that the needle just jumped over.)

German Primate Center
The German Primate Centre (German: Deutsches Primatenzentrum, DPZ, founded in 1977) is a non-profit independent research and service institute. It is a member of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Scientific Community and funded by the federal government and by the states of Germany. In addition, about 40% of the total budget of €15 million comes from grants.
The functions and services of the DPZ concentrate on biological and biomedical research on and with primates and include the study and maintenance of free ranging primate populations and improvements in husbandry of primates in human care.[1]
The DPZ's mission is to serve as a center of excellence for research with primates and as a service and competence center for those institutions in Germany and abroad that house primates and/or do primate-related research (e.g. academic laboratories and zoological gardens). The center is organized in three sections: Organismic Primate Biology, Neurosciences and Infection Research.
The DPZ is closely cooperating with the University of Göttingen and the local Max-Planck Institutes. Heads of departments hold professorship at the University of Göttingen or at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover.

Alus Songs
- Ordinary GirlThe last we heard from Alus, she was kicking off her #AlusArmy Ammunition series with a reader-approved remix of Lil Wayne & Drake's "Believe Me." In stark contrast with that street-ready record, she returns today with "Ordinary Girl," a single dedicated to the men who don't know how to treat their woman. Produced by The Waterboyz, the instrumental on this one is largely influenced by West Coast bounce popularized in recent times by DJ Mustard ("Don't Tell 'Em" being the most obvious example), making it an obvious selection for radio DJs who work with unified sounds.
- Believe Me (Remix)Kicking off her #AlusArmy Ammunition campaign of 3 records in 3 weeks during the month of June, Alus releases her remix to Lil Wayne & Drake's "Believe Me." While Drake remixes might be getting a bit redundant at this point (both "Believe Me" and "0 to 100" have been getting regularly re-made over these past few weeks), Alus's R&B-influences are more than enough to make this one stand out. #AlusArmy Ammunition leads up to the release of the songstress' new iTunes single at the top of July. Like what you're hearing?
- IFUpcoming Chicago artist Murf Dilly has been catching quite a lot of attention as of late, and it only seems right that he links up with Alus, another rising star with quite a buzz of her own, for this new song titled "IF," a dark, trippy record produced by Dre Diesley and the WaterBoyz. Take a listen to the soft songstress below, and let us what ya think. How're the chemistry here? Make sure you check out Alus most recent release, that being a remix of Breezy's "Loyal."
- Loyal (Remix)For those just tuning in, Alus is an emerging singer, songwriter, pianist and guitarist out of New Jersey. This remix of Chris Brown's "Loyal" is her latest offering, which finds her flipping the script and proving she isn't "one of these basic hoes". Listen to the original here and let us know how they compare, folks.
- Extraordinary"Extraordinary" is a choice selection from emerging New Jersey singer, songwriter, pianist and guitarist Alus' debut EP Alustrious, featuring young spitter Allegory on the assist.

With two remaining weeks, Eagle River tennis coach Stanley Thornton said the Wolves are now sporting a complete roster. "We have 15 now," said the coach Sunday, with two regular season matches remaining.
The Chugiak varsity volleyball team rallied from two games, winning the final three, to stage an exciting 3-2 victory over visiting Service Sept. 10.
In little more than a blink of the eye, Eagle River High School turns 10 years old this year, with Saturday's Homecoming events covering three sports teams, followed up by a school-wide dance.
Jami Stone stands at the edge of the Bartlett High School diving board, her back turned away from the water, her arms raised out to the sides. She stands motionless, her entire body still.
On a night better suited for fishing for silvers or hunting ducks from under a blind, the Chugiak Mustangs proved the capable predator, stalking the Dimond Lynx methodically, en route to a 41-7 victory Friday at Tom Huffer Sr. Stadium.
The Alaska Mountain Runners recently held their end-of-the-season banquet, and six local runners received age group awards. Two also earned the much coveted "The Gamut" status.
Chugiak High freshman Brynn Kruchoski led the girls field in Friday afternoon's dual 3K cross-country running meet held at the Beach Lake Ski Trails. Kruchoski's time of 12 minutes, 31 seconds beat runner-up Sara Hartke, a Chugiak junior, by 5 seconds. Third place went to Chugiak's Hannah Booher, also a junior.
Both local high school swimming and diving teams took part in three-way meets this past week with Chugiak squads besting both West and host Service, while Eagle River finished second at Dimond on Aug. 29.
Mustangs coach Roger Spackman said he was proud of the way his undersized team battled against a big Bartlett squad that features 18 players listed at 220 pounds or more.

Owner received green design award for using recycled and eco-friendly building materials.

Interaction with Guests
Home owner is an extrovert and LOVES meeting new people (and animal guests of all sorts), but at the same time, guests can expect that their privacy will be maintained at all times.
The Neighborhood
Walking distance to Boardwalk, Its Beach (no leash beach, a favorite with dogs!), world class surf, diverse culinary offerings, the SC Surf Museum, and the Municipal Wharf. Very close to downtown and shopping areas. GREAT (and very, very scenic) 10K run right outside your door! Located on the Westside "sun belt" of Santa Cruz.

Other Things to Note
Well-behaved pets are welcome for an additional fee of $25 per night. If bringing a pet, advance notice is absolutely required---please do NOT "Instant Book" if traveling with a pet.

Weekday rentals and last minute bookings may be discounted further---just ask. 3 night minimum on weekends, please. Also PLEASE NOTE: we love children of all ages, but the carriage house bedroom is very cozy and intimate, and canNOT, under any circumstances, accommodate a crib without blocking the emergency exit. Steep staircase leading up to living space means that unit may not be toddler friendly, so we ask that you please inform us in advance if you are traveling with infants or young children under the age of 6. ***Quoted rates include 11% Transient Occupancy Tax as mandated by the City of Santa Cruz***
Absolutely no cigarette or tobacco smoke, please. Quiet enjoyment of the space is always preferred...in other words, no rowdy keg parties. That's pretty much all we ask.

The host canceled this reservation 26 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
This is a gem that sits at the edge of the world, otherwise known as West Cliff above the Pacific Ocean. Not only did the place charm on so many levels, but the host, Khristina was helpful and warm.
So much privacy and access to all of the treasures of Santa Cruz.
The carriage house met all expectations and truly a hidden gem.
Khristina is a gracious host and her attention to detail is spot on.
Thank you again for hosting us and for a wonderful experience.
I can't say enough wonderful things about this adorable carriage house. It is absolutely beautiful, located right on the edge of one of the most spectacular landscapes in the country. Waking up with coffee and strolling along the cliffside to watch the surfers is just divine. On top of that, Khristina is one of the best hosts I've encountered on Airbnb... I sincerely hope to come back and meet her someday!!
I just spent the most amazing week at Khristina's Carriage House. I needed accommodations for myself and my pooch, as I was attending a week long dog training seminar/workshop. My host Khristina was AMAZING! Her attention to detail, both on the renovation of this beautiful space and her personal touches (an individually wrapped treat for my beloved Jake presented in a dog dish she provided, Peet's coffee..my personal favorite, lovely beverages and a tiny glass pitcher of cream for my coffee! I could go on) were unbelievable. I had to ask myself...."Am I dreaming right now?" I just have to say, "You get what you pay for!!" I will never stay at the Inn at Depot Hill (which I really liked) or anywhere else when I visit Santa Cruz, as long as The Carriage House is available. The location could not be more perfect! (Jake might disagree, as he wasn't sure what to make of the crashing waves and sea lions barking) but to me...it was music to my ears!! We watched the sunrise and took beachfront walks every single morning. I was super busy and didn't get to actually meet Khristina until the last day, but glad I did. She was so warm and authentic. A lovely person and the perfect host!! So glad I found this little retreat. Thank you Khristina for everything. You rock!! Oh, and one more thing....I personally blame her for my husband (who joined me on the last night) now insisting we buy an ILVE range! I t is pretty amazing actually. So if you are considering this listing, do it...just not during a week I want it!! It was worth every penny!
Once again, I had a most wonderful stay at Khristina's lovely carriage house. It was my second visit and I can't say enough great things about this beautiful property and the "caretaker" who operates it. Khristina will likely win the "Best Host" award when Airbnb decides to create a category for this. I hope to return again & again! Be sure to stay here when you are in Santa Cruz!

The Cessna G1000 Skyhawk
The best-selling airplane of all time gets more sophisticated
Since the demise of the Cessna 152 in 1986, the Skyhawk has emerged as perhaps the preeminent general aviation trainer on the market. It may be ideal for that role, because it's one of the world's most forgiving airplanes, but until recently, no one considered it a technologically sophisticated airplane.
" />
That may, however, be an unfair assessment. Like lots of pilots, I've spent many hours in the left seats of a variety of 172s. The airplanes are, after all, virtually everywhere. In the past 50 years, Cessna assembled nearly 40,000 of them, making the 172 the most produced airplane in history, by far. (The Sturmovik, a Russian World War II fighter, comes in a feeble second place with 36,000 units produced.) It's not surprising, therefore, that more general aviation pilots have flown Skyhawks than any other plane.
Though many marvel at the Skyhawk's remarkable jack-of-all trades adaptability to a variety of missions, its extremely easy handling and its seemingly indestructible nature, it is these very qualities that cause the plane to be taken for granted. With the advent of the Diamond C1, Liberty XL2, Legend Cub and other entry-level two-seaters, the venerable Skyhawk has become economically disadvantaged in the trainer market.
The new wave of two-seaters, however, has not supplanted the population of Skyhawks utilized by countless flight schools across the nation. Its reputation as a reliable, versatile and modestly inexpensive trainer also makes it a popular rental and, occasionally, a check hauler or light-cargo machine.
Jessica Ambats, a features editor at Plane & Pilot, is currently training in an older Skyhawk. Jessica has logged most of her hours in older Skyhawks, but she spent an afternoon familiarizing herself with the new Skyhawk SP.
Tom's Aircraft in Long Beach, Calif., recently loaned me a Garmin G1000-equipped Skyhawk SP fresh off the Independence, Kan., production line—I put Jessica in the left seat. How did the student pilot react to the sexy glass-paneled Skyhawk?
"From the outside, the basic design doesn't look that different from my trainer," said Jessica. "Obviously, this is a newer airplane with different paint, but there aren't that many significant changes in appearance.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/16/11
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis knows he has struggled this season. He doesn't need anyone to point it out, either. Lewis remembers every dropped pass, every missed assignment and every wrong route. That's because the Pro Bowl tight end is his harshest critic. He understands the whispers and occasional boos. He's hopes to silence them, too, beginning this week at Cleveland. A year after setting career marks with 58 catches for 700 yards and 10 touchdowns, Lewis has 16 receptions for 170 yards and no scores. The most memorable aspect of his season has been several dropped passes. It's not what anyone expected after Lewis signed a five-year, $35 million contract that included $17 million guaranteed during training camp.

Best Wingshooting Experience -
By: drduck from Marksville, LA
I've had the ability to hunt throughout North and South America and Los Ombues is the finest facitily I've visited. The food, the accomodations, the shooting were without equal. The Staff is wonderful---you name it, they have it. From 24 hour laundry to full time massages to the best of beverages, it is a trip I will make again. Only problem is that you have to limit yourself to how many shots you want to make in a day!! You could shoot nonstop from daylight to dark!! The scenery is beyond words. If you've never been, SCHEDULE IT!! It has to be on any hunter's bucket list.
I'll be back! -
By: Guillermo from Kansas City
I touted Los Ombues a few years ago about the quality of everything and I am delighted to say that it is still my favorite destination in Argentina. There are a lot of lodges that have some good things going for them but Los Ombues has everything going for it! Great accommodations, great birds, great staff, delightful meals and to top it all of you hunt within a few minutes of the estancia. If I could award more "stars" I would!
By: beanopolis from Odessa Tx.
I recently led a party of 9 hunters to the lodge, we were treated to some awesome quisine,absolutely fabulous dove hunting and made to feel right at home in the lodge. My hats off to the staff of Los Ombues, A+ guys.
Can't be beat!! -
By: Macktrucks from Memphis, TN
I was honored to be a guest at Los Ombues in March of 2011. Argentina, of course, is known for the wing shooting, and there are many great places throughout the country, but Los Ombues is different. First class lodging, first class dining, first class amenities, first class service, PERIOD! We drove 5 minutes from the lodge to hunt in the morning and afternoon. The wing shooting is the best in the world, combined with courteous and eager to please bird boys. We ate like kings for a week and that is no understatement. Dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner were impeccably prepared and combined with a great Malbec. I would recommend Los Ombues to everyone who wants to have the trip of a lifetime. You can try another place, and I have, but once you go to Los Ombues and meet the Sanchez brothers, you will never go anywhere else again!
Great -
By: from Aberdeen, S.D.
This is a great lodge, great food, great guides, great service and great hunting. I drove down from BA and flew back to BA. The flight back was in a King Air. The whole trip just could not have been better. Harvey Jewett
Jeremy Kehrein
Pre-trip service was excellent. Jeremy used great judgment picking a location the whole family could enjoy.

On the Road to La Paz
We were up early again but there was not as good a sunrise today. While we waited for the restaurant to open, we packed our bags ready for the trip back to La Paz.
After breakfast we checked out and walked down the cobbled road to the main plaza. We found a minivan/people mover that already had 2 people in it, so with us, it just needed …

Priority one today was to book a Cycle Tour on La Carretera de los Yungas, more commonly known as the World's Most Dangerous Road aka Death Road. Gravity Assisted Mountain Biking Tours had been recommended to us for having the best and safest equipment, also it's owned by a Kiwi, so it must be okay.
We were out the door early and even …
Bus to La Paz
We were taking it easy this morning, our bus to La Paz wasn't until 1:30pm. We didn't even manage breakfast, only a few cups of coffee in our room before we checked out at 11am. We still hung around in the garden, in the sun, until 12:30pm when we made our way down to the bus stop of Vicuna Travel.
There seemed to be too many people …
La Paz round 2, the sequel
We landed on a bumpy flight down from Rurrenabaque at around lunchtime. We checked ourselves into the Loki hostel with a new mate Brendan. It was happy hour in the bar, 2 4 1 beers and slushies, so we grabbed some drinks and watched end of the Argentina v Switzerland game. The slushies were amazing and we met more Melbourne people.

Man killed while lying in a street
A 50-year-old-man was stuck by a car and killed late Saturday while lying in a Charlotte street.
The incident happened at about 10:15 p.m. in the 2700 block of Old Steele Creek Road. The victim was identified as Michael Dwain Williams.
According to a police report, William was struck by an SUV driven by 59-year-old David Milton Motley, who told police he saw something in the roadway but was unable to avoid the collision.
Neither Motley nor a passenger is his car was injured. At the time of the accident, police said, the road was dark but lit by street lights.
Police believe Williams may have been intoxicated. The case was still being investigated at the time of this posting.

There was a good reason why Richard Muller waited until Thursday to visit Mississippi State University instead of coming on Sept. 17 as originally planned.
Muller is the author of "Physics for Future Presidents," chosen as this year's Maroon Edition for all of MSU's incoming freshmen to read over the summer. Muller said he was in China trying to help the country transition from coal to natural gas as a primary source of electrical power — a transition he said could save lives from pollutant particles connected to the deaths of 1.2 million people per year in China. Air quality index readings of 250 micrograms per cubic meter of these particles are considered hazardous, he said, and on Oct. 21, readings reached 1,000 micrograms in Harbin, China.

Ed Boyer - Field Station Co-director, Prescott College Faculty
As the Co-director of the Kino Bay Center, Ed's primary focuses are fundraising, facility development, and teaching undergraduate filed courses at the Center. Dr. Boyer teaches a Marine Biology field course at the Center every year, where the focus is on training students in marine ecological research methods. He also teaches Basic Biological Principles at Prescott College's main campus in Arizona. Dr. Boyer's Ph.D. dissertation was on the relationship between predation, diversity, and community structure in marine ecosystems.
Lorayne Meltzer - Field Station Co-director, Research and Conservation Program - Coordinator, Prescott College Faculty
As Co-director of the Kino Bay Center, Lorayne is active in collaborative conservation efforts in the Sea of Cortez. Through her Marine Conservation classes taught at the Center, students learn firsthand about complex issues confronting marine and coastal environments. It is one thing to read in a book that 85% of everything caught on a shrimp trawler is discarded dead as by-catch back into the sea. It is quite a different learning experience to be sorting through the by-catch on the deck of a trawler, working along fishermen whose livelihoods depend on destructive fisheries practices. Upper division students have the opportunity to learn about conservation methods, while simultaneously contributing to real conservation projects. Lorayne also coordinates the Center's Research and Conservation Program, and teaches a summer course in Surfing and Principles of Wave Dynamics in Baja California.
Martin Ziebell - Field Station Manager
Martin grew up on the island of Cyprus where he worked with the Cyprus Fisheries Department Lara Reserve Sea Turtle Project before moving to the U.S. He has been visiting the Gulf since the early 90's, sailing, sea kayaking and instructing courses with Prescott College. As part of his graduate work in Marine Studies he studied and documented the small-scale fishing fleet in Bahia de Kino. Most recently he has been teaching the oceanography section of Dr. Ed Boyer's Marine Biology course at the Center. "The opportunity to live and work in Bahia de Kino with Prescott College is a dream come true for me."
Lillian Drosen - Office Administrator
As an administrator at the Kino Bay Center, one of Lillian's primary focus is with the organization and management of the financial and logistical facets of the operation. Originally from Los Angeles, California, at the age of fifteen Lillian moved to Bahia de Kino, the place she's always loved since childhood. In 2002, Lillian left a career in registered practical nursing to begin working as a family resource coordinator for Positive Impact at an American institution in Kino. After Positive Impact closed in 2004, Lillian joined the staff of the Kino Bay Center. In addition to Lillian's responsibilities at the Center, she enjoys spending time with her family, performing traditional Mexican folklore dance, trophy truck rally racing and motor cross. Her family is one of the original founders of the town of Bahia de Kino.
Cosme Damian Becerra - Transportation Coordinator
Cosme moved to Kino when he was six years old, and as a child lived in Estero La Cruz with his family. Cosme learned to drive a panga in the estero with one of his older brothers, who also taught him to fish. After attending primary and secondary school in Kino, he went to Hermosillo to study industrial maintenance at CONALEP, and began captaining a panga in Kino at the age of 17. At 18, he became a member of the fishing cooperative S.C.de P.P.y A.SAN JUAN SCL, and soon became the president.
In 2007, he began to work at the Kino Bay Center as the Transportation Coordinator. Cosme's work involves taking university classes, researchers, and local school kids out in the panga to look for whales, study birds, and visit the surrounding islands, among other things. At the center, Cosme also applies all the knowledge he gained at the CONLEP: soldering, electrical work, engine repairs and maintenance, and also enjoys building new furniture for the ever-expanding Center - skills which he learned from another former station manager, Tom Donovan. Cosme and the members of his fishing cooperative were awarded a federal grant to take a course in sea turtle conservation, and in October 2010, they begin a project monitoring sea turtles at the Isla San Pedro Biosphere Reserve.
Julio Carrasco Paredes - Maintenance Coordinator
The oldest of five brothers, Julio was born in 1967 in Mexico City. He arrived in Kino with his family in 1981. At first his family supported themselves with artisanal wood carving, house construction, and fishing. In the following years, Julio worked as a gardener, waiter, bartender, house painter, carpenter, and much more. He began working for Prescott in 2004. We now count on Julio to keep the station alive and running. He lives with his family in Kino Viejo. On weekends, he and his soccer team enjoy losing games against other old men.
"I have learned a lot of new things in my job here at Prescott that I didn't know before; for example, ecology and to care for the environment. Conservation is not directly my job, but I support it and it has been a grand satisfaction to work all these years for Prescott. I have made many good friends as well."
Carolina Navarro - Conservation Fellow / Estuaries, Environmental Education and Community Leadership
Carolina received her B.S. in Oceanology and her M.S. in Ecosystem Management of Arid and Coastal Zones from Universidad Autónoma de Baja California (UABC) in Ensenada. Her Master's thesis was a social analysis of beach use in Acapulco entitled: "Socio-environmental diagnosis and integrated management proposal in three recreational beaches of Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico".
Through her Environmental Education Fellowship she gives weekly classes to hundreds of local school kids - she especially enjoys teaching lessons on islands and marine animals, such as invertebrates. She also analyses the impacts of the environmental classes on the kids attitudes, knowledge and behavior.
"In the Environmental Education Program at Prescott College I have learnt a lot about community work and beach-community relations, as well as multicultural life in the station where I had the opportunity to meet diverse opinions and ideas that enrich my way of thinking and working".
Jorge A. Miros Gómez - Conservation Fellow / Environmental Education and Community Leadership
Jorge is originally from Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz. He received his Bachelor´s degree in Environmental Sciences at the Autonomous University of Baja California (UABC) in Ensenada City.

In summer 2014 she was chosen as an Environmental Education Program Fellow. She teaches ecology classes to kids in elementary schools and also participates in field trips and other community activities within the program. Her goal is to encourage environmental awareness and critical thinking in Kino's people; especially new generations so that they are able to develop a profound sense of place and know their role as individuals and as community in the sustainable management of their region's natural resources.
Her favorite ecosystems are semi-arid lands (with a special love for the Sonoran Desert) and coastal wetlands so it is a wonderful thing for her to have them both in Kino and feed her sense of wonder.
Héctor Pérez Puig - Conservation Fellow / Marine Mammal Research and Community Outreach
Originally from Mexico City, Héctor has had a strong interest in natural science from a young age. This developed into his current passion for marine mammals. Due to his interest in whales Héctor studied Biology at the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma in Puebla with an undergraduate thesis based on the craneometry of coastal pantropical spotted dolphins (Stenella attenuata graffmani).
Héctor completed his Masters in Marine Biology at CICESE with a thesis focused on Gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) calf abundance estimation from shore-based surveys near Ensenada.
Héctor has worked and collaborated on projects with whales and dolphins for various institutions. In 2009, Hector became the Marine Mammal Research and Conservation fellow for the Kino Bay Center. This post focuses on cetacean Photo Identification and documenting the spatial and temporal distribution of all cetacean sightings from the region. Héctor collaborates with researches at UABCS and other international scientists to study cetacean ecology both in the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California. Héctor also maintains the station's User Day Database.
"Every day my entrance to the center gives me the opportunity to develop on a professional basis while enjoying what I enjoy most in life and above all not losing the sense of wonder in what I can see in the stunning Gulf of California."
Maria Johnson - Conservation Fellow / Fisheries, Media, and Information Exchange
An Arizona native, Maria remained in the desert to attend Prescott College in 2009, intrigued by the opportunity to study the ocean close to home. An immediate love for the Gulf of California emerged during her first semester there and she continued to take classes at the Kino Bay Center for the remainder of her studies. A particular interest in the small-scale fisheries of Kino ensued, resulting in her senior project, "La Vida de Los Pescadores"- a photography exposition and series of interviews illuminating the struggles, the stories, and the hopes of local fishers. Following graduation with a Bachelor's degree in marine conservation, Maria was awarded a fellowship in media, fisheries, and conservation which has provided her the opportunity to pursue her passions of the ocean and its protection, fish & fisheries, as well as visual arts.
"I am endlessly captivated by the relationship between humans and nature in its many forms. I seek to understand, explore, and communicate this theme through art in hopes of contributing to the vision of a balanced world where all life thrives. I am so grateful to be able to pursue this dream in this beautiful little town where the desert meets the sea."
Tanner Humphries - Conservation Researcher / Waterbird Monitoring and Outreach
A native of Seattle, Washington, Tanner Humphries has always been drawn to the natural world and felt the need to help protect and conserve it. While studying at Western Washington University, he worked as the Science Editor for the award-winning environmental student publication The Planet, spent a summer studying mycorrhizal fungi in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana, and conducted a research project on anthropogenic disturbance to a local heron colony. Since obtaining his degree in Environmental Sciences he has monitored butterfly populations and recorded plant phenology in sub-alpine meadows in North Cascades National Park and Mount Rainier National Park and studied trophic cascade relationships between wolves and riparian vegetation in Yellowstone National Park.
He is passionate about Wildlife Conservation and loves contributing to research endeavors in the field. He is thrilled to be supporting the Waterbird Monitoring Program through Prescott College's Kino Bay Center. The unique landscape and unbelievable diversity of birds here inspire him to help contribute to the program's goal of conserving habitat for all bird species.

Talya Shragai - Conservation Researcher / Waterbird Monitoring and Outreach
Talya Shragai was born in Berkeley, California and grew up with a love of camping, hiking, and all things outdoors. She is a recent graduate of UCLA where she earned her degrees in biology and international development studies with a focus on the intersection between animal behavior and human systems. As development expands, the overlap between human activity and wildlife habitat grows at an ever-increasing rate, and she is fascinated by the ways these two worlds continuously depend on, destruct, and affect each other. Talya's previous field experiences include working with blue-throated macaws in the savannahs of Bolivia and a study of the comparative physiology of chipmunks in Yosemite National Park. Talya is thrilled to have joined the Prescott College Kino Bay team where she is working with the Waterbird Monitoring Program and has quickly fallen in love with the diverse wildlife and unique environment of Kino. In her spare time Talya likes exploring the mountains behind the field station and sitting in the sunshine with a good book. Her favorite Kino waterbird is the white ibis.
Tara Boag - Conservation Researcher / Fisheries, Marine Mammals, and Support
Tara Boag originally comes from Ontario, Canada, but grew up all over the place. Her love for the ocean led her to study marine science in southern Maine, where she completed her Bachelor's Degree in May of 2014 in marine biology. Tara spent all of her free time working in a fish research lab and completing her thesis on the age and growth of the black dogfish, Centroscyllium fabricii. Over the course of her studies in the classroom and the lab, she became more and more fascinated with the complicated science of fisheries biology and hopes to pursue a career studying the effects that we as humans have on the sea.
Tara has been working as an intern at the Prescott College Kino Bay Center since October 2014. She came to Bahia de Kino to be part of the shrimp bycatch project and is also learning to work with marine mammals.

I'm a morning Facebook checker. I log in every morning before i get my day started. When i opened my Facebook app, i saw ten new posts. and i knew right away that something bad had happened. most of my friends and acquaintances live in the same time zone as me, so not much usually happens overnight. and then i saw the stories. and the pictures. white siddur pages, stained red. Tzitzis strings, also stained bright red. a man lying in a pool of blood, still wrapped in his tallis and tefillin. i felt what i always feel when i hear about these attacks. shock. horror. pity for the victims. compassion for their widows and orphans. and more recently as of late, anger. a slow burning inside. hate for someone who can so coldly take a life. and then sadness again, that there are four less people who will daven mincha this afternoon. four kedoshim, who were taken back while they were in the middle of morning prayer. four people whose last moments were as holy as possible. it's a small comfort for those of us who will probably think about it once or twice throughout the day, maybe another time during the week, and then move on. but how much of a comfort is that thought to the wives who sent their husbands off to shul, not knowing they would never see them again? to the 20-something children who are now fatherless?
that is the thought that i want to hold on to, so that i think of these four men throughout the whole day.
may their blood be avenged.

As BWW reported earlier today, America's Poet LaureateMaya Angelou has passed away at the age of 86. The poet died last night, May 27th in a Winston-Salem, North Carolina hospital while recovering from an "unexpected ailment". She died surrounded by her family.
Angelou has received more than 30 honorary degrees from universities worldwide. She is perhaps best known for her 1969 book "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings", which tells of her life up to the age of seventeen, and brought her international recognition and acclaim.
The poet was set to be honored this Friday, May 30th in Houston where she was going to be given the Beacon of Life Award.
Below, read how celebrities are reacting to the sad news on Twitter:

Bette Midler: The beautiful Maya Angelou died this morning. A big and radiant soul, at rest at last.
Neil Patrick Harris: Thank you, Dr. Maya Angelou, for your wonderful words and wisdom. Rest in peace.
Josh Gad: RIP #MayaAngelou. Thank you for blessing us with your voice, your words and your strength.
Pharrell Williams: Saddened by the news of Maya Angelou's passing. A brilliant woman who contributed so much to the world. Her light will be sorely missed.
Mary J. Blige: "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." - Maya Angelou.
Ryan Seacrest: "I've learned that you shouldn't go thru life w/ a catcher's MITT on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back." -Maya Angelou

As of Thursday, July 11, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
JONESBORO It is possible that Clayton County fire Chief Jeff Hood will retire from his position next week without knowing who will be his temporary replacement.
The question of who will be Hood's interim successor remains shrouded in mystery because the five-member county commission isn't sure who it wants in the position, said Chairman Jeff Turner.
Commissioners were scheduled to vote on an appointment last week, but Turner unexpectedly had it pulled at the last minute during a pre-meeting work session.
"We really don't have a consensus with three commissioners to say, 'This is who we want to name as our interim chief,'" said Turner. "We're still trying to see who would be the best pick, but there are a lot of really good qualified candidates in the department."
Hood's last day as chief is July 19 and the last scheduled meeting of the commission before then is set for July 16. It's not certain the commission will make a decision at that meeting though. Turner said even he hasn't settled one fire department employee to nominate, and he won't know who other commissioners want to appoint until the meeting.
"We might vote next week, but I'm not sure," said Turner. "We're just trying to take our time and make sure we pick the right person to lead the department."
If the commission doesn't make an appointment next week, Turner said Assistant Chief Landry Merkison will lead the fire department until an interim chief is chosen.
"He'll continue to do what he's already doing," said Turner. "Right now, he's running the department because Chief Hood is on vacation. If we don't pick someone next week, he'll just continue in that role."
Hood has led the department for the last two and a half years, after the commission unanimously voted to have him replace former fire Chief Alex Cohilas on an interim basis in December 2010. Commissioners later made the position permanent, but he announced his retirement earlier this year to spend more time with his ailing parents.
Cohilas said at the time that Hood was his choice to replace him, but Hood has not publicly indicated a preference for his own interim successor.

It's a No-Brainer (maybe that's the problem). We're talking about an INTERIM Fire Chief. You take the number two guy who knows how the system is run and let him handle the day-to-day operations until you can figure out who the permanent chief is going to be. . Praises to the county fire department by the way since they seem to be doing something right in this county. At least their chief isn't under indictment or investigation.
A word of advice to the commissioners, If it ain't broke - Don't try to fix it.
Veryconcerned 1 year, 11 months ago
I 100% agree with you Robert. Why IS it so difficult to name the Assistant Chief interim? Things that make you go hmmmmm.....

The 30-year-old from Glasgow, making her Commonwealth Games debut in Group B of the 69kg weightlifting, missed her first two lifts at 75kg in the snatch but succeeded on her third attempt, sending rapturous applause around the Clyde Auditorium.
In the clean and jerk, she lifted 92kg and 96kg consecutively before going for broke with 100kg. Mather could not quite manage that lift but it still gave her a combined total of 171kg, enough for fourth in her group. Sandra Ako, of Papua New Guinea, came top of Group B with 191kg.
The eventual victor was Marie Fegue, who competed in Group A of the women's 69kg, and lifted 234kg to claim Cameroon's first gold of the Games, with Itohan Ebireguesele, from Nigeria, second with 222kg and Canada's Marie-Josee Ares-Pilon third with 214kg. Mather placed 11th overall.
For Mather it marked the culmination of what is a remarkable journey. She fell in love with weightlifting while watching London 2012 and was inspired to buy an "old rusty bar" from the internet for £8.
Having first practised alone in her basement, honing her technique by watching YouTube clips, she began to train under the tutelage of Ray Cavanagh, himself a former Commonwealth Games competitor, a little over 18 months ago.
"Two years ago I was at the Olympics with my sister and I thought: Why not give that a try?" said Mather.
"This has taken all of my focus to get to this point. I'm pleased with how it's all turned out. The atmosphere was incredible and the sound when you walk out is just fantastic."
Peter Kirkbride, the last of Team Scotland's weightlifters to compete, will be in action in the men's 94kg this evening. The 26-year-old, from Hurlford in Ayrshire, took silver in Delhi four years ago.

So when you get high, do shrooms or acid what movies do you grab to watch? What movies are some of your favorite trippy movies? I'm not really talking about story-wise but mainly visually. My picks would have to include "Help!", "The Thief of Bagdad", "Across the Universe", "Brand upon the Brain", "Magical Mystery Tour" (can you tell I'm a Beatles fan?), "Mr. Freedom", and finally, the best one ever…"The Holy Mountain". What are your favorite psychedelic movies?
Who drops acid and puts a movie on?
Actual hallucinogens such as mushrooms or acid + movies = Horrible experience
Marijuana, however, is a completely different beast, and only improves the art of cinema. Actually, it improves all forms of art… and all food.
As for what movies I most enjoy to watch when high; anything animated (especially Sleeping Beauty), any Kubrick film post-2001, any Jodorowsky film as mentioned before, and most recently Speed Racer. But really, all films become mind blowing and wonderful if you're high enough, so you can't go wrong.
Lots of people do. It may not be the only thing they do that night but it's not uncommon.
Ah, Speed Racer! I forgot about that one! Man if you have that on Blu-Ray it's a trip all by itself, let alone when you're under the influence. What kind of horrible experiences did you have dropping acid or shrooms and watching movies?
Not necessarily horrible, ryan, just not enjoyable, and impossible to really pay attention to the film at hand.
Pink Floyd's The Wall, The Exorcist, Come and See, The Conversation, The Trial, Repulsion, and for some odd reason Two Lane Blacktop.
Speed Racer? Cmon guys
Oh, clovenhoof… I'll defend Speed Racer to the death.
Not only is it pure fun and the visual equivalent of driving through a living rainbow that occasionally explodes all around you, therefore making it the perfect film to watch under the influence, BUT it's also perhaps one of the bravest films released by a massive studio in 2008.
You see, the main villain in Speed Racer isn't some evil race car driver that must be stopped, or some martial arts expert that can only be killed via a massive brawl, as you would expect from a film of it's ilk. No… the main villain in the film is a CEO, a captain of industry, and the most villainous thing he does is manipulate the stock market to ensure a profit by any means necessary, including murder. All this on top of the film being set in a world in which the free market has run rampant throughout society and is literally worshiped as a god.
That is the evil our plucky young hero must fight against, and because of that Speed Racer is the perfect film for our current political and economic times.
^ I completely agree 100%. Speed Racer was amazing in many different ways, I was dumbfounded at all of the negative reviews it got. I can't believe people said that it was too much visually or that it looked too much like a cartoon…duh! It is the most faithful adaptation of a cartoon that I have ever seen…it literally IS a live-action cartoon. It's the only movie I know of that makes you feel like you're tripping balls when you're sober. And yes, I love the fact that they took a kids movie and added in the evil corporate greed and the subplots involved in the story…it takes a lot of balls to do that and it's sad that they weren't rewarded enough for it.
It has nice bright colors, thats the only good thing about Speed Racer. Good for showing off your new t.v.
Baraka, Eraserhead, The Color of Pomegranates, The Fountain, Christmas on Mars, Satyricon, Koyannisqatsi, Natural Born Killers, El Topo, Santa Sangre, Definitely Holy Mountain. Also Kenneth Anger: Rabbit's Moon, Eaux d'artifice, Inauguration of the Pleasurdome, Invocation of My Demon Brother, Lucifier Rising. To me these are all films that lend themselves to smoking and viewing. Visually stunning.
Christ, I forgot about Baraka, Cory. Truly the perfect film for this thread, especially the recent blu-ray, which is so visually stunning that it actually hurts my eyes to try and focus on every crystal clear detail.
Now Cory has got some worthwhile recommendations.
god soybean, you've got to be joking. How could any of those movies be enjoyable on acid…
One night we 'shroomed and watched ALLEGRO NON TROPPO, which was the most hilarious film ever, considering. All six of us just were in complete hysterics during the last scenes which I can barely remember, but I'm sure the rest of the crowd thought we were surely strange. I've never seen the picture since.
FANTASIA is similar to ALLEGRO and is a great head film. I've seen it stoned innumerable times. And no one has yet to mention 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY which is the sine qua non of trippy films. The entire last 30-40 minutes is completely for someone with heavy duty chemicals going through the bloodstream.
And has any one ever seen the Monkeys film HEAD? There were some very weird scenes in that one, but again I don't know how they would hold up. So many of those films just can't escape the time they were made. Bob Dylan made a film in 1966 called EAT THE DOCUMENT which certainly was made under the influence of alotta drugs, and it probably makes alot more sense if you're indulging.
YELLOW SUBMARINE gets a nod too. As would most of the films of Jan Svankmajer or the Brothers Quay, like THE STREET OF CROCODILES. KOYAANISQATSI. There was a sci-fi PBS movie made in the middle 70s called THE LATHE OF HEAVEN that I really liked, and recently bought again. It's dated, but a great film. Aronofsky's PI , MEMENTO, and another recent film called PRIMER (made for $7000 apparently) were very hard to wrap your noodle around.
These types of discussion thread always reminds me of the time a friend recommended a friend take acid and watch Naked Lunch.
It resulted in hospitalization.
Oh, and I get kind of annoyed when people say, "It's better when you're high." No, the movie isn't better, you're just high. Nothing special in that.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and tequila and pot…I´ve been there already, I recomend: don´t.
Oh, and Death in Venice with antidepresives and beer: definitively DON´T.
Polaris, I don't know if I completely agree with that. I used to think that until I saw "The Holy Mountain" stoned and clearly caught references ad other things that I could tell Jodorowsky came up with when he was on drugs too, things I wouldn't have caught sober. You just pick up on different things on a whole different level I think.
A Funeral Parade of Roses trailer
These are in no discernible order, because I'm tripping…
Jess Franco's Venus in Furs is trippy as hell. One of the best movies of its kind to emerge from the 1960s.
The Trip with Peter Fonda and Bruce Dern (script by Jack Nicholson!) is Roger Corman's low-budget look at an LSD experience.
Easy Rider also comes to mind for its acid trip in a New Orleans cemetery.
Much of Woodstock is far-out with its multichannel sound and split-screen effects.
Casino Royale (1967) — the one with David Niven, Peter Sellers and Woody Allen. Faaar out, baby.
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
I Love You Alice B. Toklas
Un Chien Andalu
Koyannisqatsi — a mesmerizing, hypnotic experience. I've been known to spin that DVD just for visual texture at house parties. Inevitably, I'll find half a dozen zonked people huddled in the home theater checking out that amazing picture.
Surprising no one's mentioned Kubrick's 2001, which was billed in 1968 as "the ultimate trip."
I'm gonna go eat some chawklit, now.
Hmmm…Has no one mentioned Performance by Roeg and Cammell? It's probably redundant to watch it high, (I walked out of the theatre feeling like I was coming down from a trip—and that was after watching it straight) but the associations are strong and obvious. Likewise Man Who Fell To Earth.
And while you're at it, you might want to try Traffic; I can't say that the imagery's conducive, but it's bound to lend some irony to the experience.
If watching Naked Lunch on acid resulted hospitalization, I pity the pore soul who tried that with Eraserhead.
This is the one right here: 1967s "The Trip," starring Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern and Dennis Hopper and directed by Roger Corman. Here's IMDb's (forgive me Auteurs) synopsis:
Paul Groves (Peter Fonda), a television commercial director, is in the midst of a personality crisis. His wife Sally (Susan Strasberg) has left him and he seeks the help of his friend John (Bruce Dern), a self-styled guru who's an advocate of LSD. Paul asks John to be the guide on his first "trip". John takes Paul to a "freak-out" at his friend Max's (Dennis Hopper) pad. Splitting the scene, they score some acid from Max and return to John's split-level pad with an indoor pool. Paul experiences visions of sex, death, strobe lights, flowers, dancing girls, witches, hooded riders, a torture chamber, and a dwarf. He panics but John tells him to "go with it, man." Would you trust John?
Then there's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," "Pink Floyd The Wall" and if you're really looking for a bad trip, "Natural Born Killers."
How about some Hayao Miyazaki!
I remember settling down to come up on some mushrooms some time ago, I like to trip on my own, and it had been a while. I sat in my bed and put on My Neighbour Totoro, and my mind wandered, eventually I thought hmm, I wonder if I'll get the fear? and at that moment the big sister said to the little sister "Don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of." Which was nice ^^
Stuff like Spirited Away among others would just be amazing I'm sure, so much meaning and amazing images. Apparently mushrooms aren't illegal in Japan? Watching some of the really good beautiful philosophical stuff coming out of there, Akira, Ghost in the Shell er, other stuff I can't remember, it certainly seems as if they've been an influence.
oooooh!! Akira Kurosawa's Dreams! Top notch.
I would like to ad to the conversation on Speed Racer. In my opinion it was an average movie book ended by two AMAZING sequences.
The race at the end is quite possibly one of the best representations of psychedelic euphoria ever presented on screen, and in a PG rated family movie no doubt.
Also, I would also like to ad the films of Kenneth Anger to the list. His film Invocation of My Demon Brother, with its monotonous soundtrack composed by Mick Jaggar (whom is only credited for "SOUND" and not music), is like sitting inside of the head of a person on acid. His film Lucifer Rising is a wild vision concocted out of modern and ancient myth.
And if anyone likes "trippy" avant-garde, I highly recommend anyone to pick up Kino Video's 2-disc set of Experimental and Avant-Garde films of the 20s and 30s. It includes many great short films like Menilmontant and The Seashell and the Clergyman. But the most psychedelic film in the set is Ralph Steiners H2O. It is a film entirely composed of shots of moving water! And at the time I first watched the film, it was the most visually arresting thing I had ever seen!
The music videos of TOOL are loaded with trippy goodness.
[adult swim] is a great venue for the most trippy and psychedelic programing on television. Like the Dadaists of the mid-twentieth century, video and animation production has gotten to the point where it is so cheap to produce that anything that can be recorded to video will be recorded to video and anything that can be animated will be animated. Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Brak and Aqua Teen were only the beginning. Tom Goes to the Mayor is quite possibly the most depressing comedy about living in a boring, no name, small town in New Jersey. 12oz. Mouse that looks as if it was written and animated while the entire crew was drunk, and was.
But the pinical of all of [adult swim]'s ability to alienate and amuse to the point of psychidelica is _Tim and Eric's Awesome Show (Great Job!)_. It is a show with no point, no story, no moral to be attained be attained by watching it, scenes do not exist to make logical sense. Tim and Eric's Awesome Show (Great Job!) seems to defy the need to make any sense or to ascribe to any sort of logic. When you watch Tim and Eric's Awesome Show (Great Job!) you are not supposed to enjoy it, you are only supposed to watch the show with a mixture of shock and bemusement. The definition of trippy.
Why anyone would want to watch a movie on acid is beyond me (as a reformed product of the psychedelic '60's), but we did like to smoke and watch Crosby/Hope Road movies when stoned. Everything took on different meaning, of course. When we watched Road to Rio in this (ahem) state, I thought it the funniest movie I had ever seen. Lines like, "What's that in your pipe?" provoked loud, spontaneous laughter. Just goes to show that being stoned is NOT a harbinger of good judgment.
Perhaps a film that would fit, would be Zappa's 200 Motels – if you were stoned, you just might make some sense of it. I suggest NOT listening to the lyrics too closely, as they are typically bad (Zappa as his most juvenile), but the visuals are – well, trippy. It was the first movie shot and edited entirely on Quadruplex videotape in the PAL format and then transferred to film after post-production was complete. One of the wierdest movies ever made. For another film that captures some of the hilarity of being stoned (beside those silly Cheech and Chong vehicles – which are pretty lame), I would suggest Taking Off by Milos Forman. Some great trippy sequences there – and funny.
The Trip would not be my candidate for a trippy film – just possibly one of the worst movies ever made and something that has about as much relevance to LSD as the film Reefer Madness does to marijuana. In any case, have a safe trip.
Yeah I've watched "Tim and Eric" countless, countless times under the influence along with "Human Giant". I love those shows.
