The apartment has a twin bedroom, a double bedroom, and a double sofa bed. Huge windows flood the space with light, including the full and spacious open-plan kitchen. The massive terrace is a fantastic place to enjoy a meal or just unwind on a warm afternoon.
It takes just 15 minutes by bus to reach the old city, home to such historic sights as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Temple Mount, and the Wailing Wall. The Knesset (parliament) is a 30-minute bus ride away.
The apartment is located just off the main street of the German Colony, a lively street with lots of great shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars. Just a few steps away is the "Railway Park", a beautiful narrow green pedestrian area on an abandoned railroad line.

The location of this flat can't be beat! Super central. Meters from trendy Emek Refaim, with loads of shops and restaurants. Easy walking distance to the city centre, Old City, lovely renovated train station and the wonderful walking path along the old train tracks. But for the hiccup in our stay (see below) this would be a sold five-star rating. As to the flat itself, the patio is divine and the overall space clean, comfortable and airy, and completely kitted out. It could, however, benefit from some real management and maintenance, e.g. missing light bulbs, dirty dishes. Not a big impediment. Also, the landlord, Paul is absentee but he is responsive via email and a good guy. His manager on the ground, Myriam is lovely. However, had to fight with his/her bozo management team for compensation for three days of no hot water. Not a huge deal in summer, but cold showers in Jerusalem in winter, not so fun. After much hassling, ended up being booked into the boutique hotel next door for the eve of our departure. Had to fight way too hard for that small gesture, but at least we had hot showers and breakfast before we departed.
Nice apartment in a prime location and well-equipped. Good bed and attractive bathroom.
Unfortunately we had to repeatedly call (expensive) to reach our contact person - "phone which chunks" and the actual path to the apartment (address and entrance stimmem not match) to get an explanation. The parking for the car was not ready - fortunately was just a parking lot in front of the house freely.
Would go back anytime.
Schönes Appartement in Toplage und gut ausgestattet. Gutes Bett und ansprechendes Bad.
Leider mussten wir mehrfach (teuer) telefonieren, um unsere Kontaktperson zu erreichen - "Telefon was brocken" und den eigentlichen Weg zum Appartement (Adresse und Hauseingang stimmem nicht überein) erklärt zu bekommen. Der Stellplatz für das Auto war nicht vorbereitet - zum Glück war gerade ein Parkplatz vor dem Haus frei.
Würden jederzeit wieder kommen.
Thanks our host !! we enjoyed our staying in Jerusalim .Fist , excellent location just five min. on foot from Jaffa gate of the Old City. Second this place is very cosy and has everything for having a good time.

Dolphins Writer Omar Kelly and Sports Editor Joe Schwerdt provide insight on the Miami Dolphins coaching search and the state of the team in a special X's and Omar video report:
What's up, Payaso.
Did you hear sources say Fisher will likely come to Miami because he likes to fish and Florida has fishing and his name is Fisher?
Hey Tim, Have you been drinking??
I hope that Fisher does make it us. I would be a happy camper…
Payaso Del Carajo so you would be happy with a coach who cant even win 7 games a year? then why did you guys run off tony?
Ocala Howie says:
January 5, 2012 at 5:53 pm
We better land Fisher…
that's kinda strange howie? i always thought the fisher landed the fish?
Not worried about Matt Moore's fumbles and sacks. It's not as bad per snap as it may seem and he played much better down the stretch.
He's still a young guy who's probably staring at his last chance to be a starting QB. So it's all right in front of him. If he was ever gonna make a jump now is the time.
Payaso, you'll catch onto the sources humor soon enough.
tim, the center snap exchange fumbles on the road was the bigger issue. Both the dallas game which was a shot gun snap and the NE game which was under center had huge effect on both those games. Him and pouncey can fix that.
The issue I think with moore is on the road its more mental.
Somebody said something about piss earlier that reminded me of one of my favorite movies.
Isn't Mr Piggy a Star Wars fan? If so, this ones for you. What movie did this quote come from? (no googling!
"I am your father luke, give in to the dark side of the force you knob".
Im not Piggy but was it Space Balls?
My brother's drunk!!!!
Take off you hoser! I'm not drunk, YOU'RE drunk!
lol. You are correct sir- Jahndoh gets the prize
"Geez, you're real nice. If I didn't have puke breath, I'd kiss you…"
marlins land Carlos Zambrano!
if he could not take the fans in chicago bashing him how is he going to make it in miami where they have the worst fans in sports? i give it 3 months
Moore will have an entire offseason to learn what is given. Im encouraged by how quickly he improved during the season. He doesnt make a ton of mistakes, yet still finds ways to challenge defenses and make those chunk plays. Our D should be better in the beginning this next year and the rookie offensive players some time to learn. It should be fun!
Yep! If I'm Matt Moore I get a little bigger and stronger, work on mechanics, get my head in the playbook and learn the offense whatever it's gonna be with the new HC (Fisher). Have the best offseason of your career.
if fisher lands in miami dont even wast your time watching next year. the guy is a 6 and 10 coach in the weakest div in football.
Tim Knight says:
January 5, 2012 at 6:01 pm
Don't know, that's why I asked. You could have tied him up naked and you're tickling him with a feather while donning just a fig leaf and a sombrero.
Payaso Del Carajo says:
January 5, 2012 at 7:38 pm
Hey Tim, Have you been drinking??
whatever gave you that idea??
14 is more then a few fumbles though. I don't think fumbles lost is the only thing that matters though, I view each fumble is tantamount to 1/2 turnover (generally speaking, oblonged shape ball on the ground, 50% recovery seems right). So if I had a modified TD to TO stat, that would make his ratio 16-16. Which impresses me less…I confess.
It ends up being 16-14 but also there is the lost play to take into account. At the same time, we almost beat the sack record for this team with 52 and that was the 68 or 69 team which was a truly horrible team.
Getting hit over and over each game will eventually coach up a few balls. He knows the issue and hopefully we'll fix the other.
well, I confess i just invented this new stat on the fly, but I was using 9 as his ints, and .5 as his fumbles (to account for luck on the Fumbles lost) if he had 14 fumbles (I got all my numbers from this discussion, so they might be all wrong) that's 9ints+7TF (theoretical fumbles–I wanted to give my stat an aura of intelligence ) =16 TOs, and I read on this forum that he had 16 TDs so isn't that 1-1 ratio? Or maybe I'm way off….
Good point on both the lost play and the porous Oline. But I will say, one thing I liked about Henne was he had really strong hands and when he got hit from the blindside, he fumbled as rarely as anybody could.
I think your math is right
Your stats for Moore are pretty much on par but Henne fumbled 11 times in 13 quarters.
It does reinforce that we had a horrible line this year. Polian says he was fired for poor drafts. I consider Sparano fired for poor O-line play for at least 2 years.
Oops, that was sacked not fumbled. Please ignore lol
O Rob, I don't have to be drinking to be silly.
Jahn, a fumble not lost is on par with an incomplete, a penalty or a broken play. It doesn't kill the game. Unless it happens late last chance.
Moore played well more than he did bad so maybe that's why it doesn't bother me. I seriously didn't come away this season saying Moore fumbles too much. He impressed me.
I don't mean to argue nuance Tim, but that's being results oriented. I'd prefer to look more at what the "expected outcome" of such an event is to rule out good luck. I don't think he fumbled in any special way that encouraged the dolphins to make the recovery, so I can't give him credit for the good luck.
Yeah, but he's not distinguishing between fumbles lost and not lost. He's saying a fumble can end up one of two ways period, it's either a turnover or not. And since it's a crapshoot, gives it a true 50% calc rate.
Also, a fumble nearly always occurs several yards deep in the backfield, so the most generous way to view it is probably as a sack.
"Moore played well more than he did bad so maybe that's why it doesn't bother me. I seriously didn't come away this season saying Moore fumbles too much. He impressed me."
I generally had this same feeling. But I think I trust my instincts less then you, so I over examine stats that I make up to placate my ocd.
Jahndoh, I'm seeing a familiar personality trait…. you don't happen to have a degree in science and/or advanced analytics by any chance? lol
Moore is doing what he has to do. Making the best of his opportunity.
Matt More in 13 starts took 36 sacks and 14 fumbles with 6 being lost.
Henne in 3 full games this year took 3 sacks only and 1 fumble not lost
If you project Henne's stats he was on pace to throw for 4485 yards and 9.9 YPC
If you project Matt Moore's stats he would have passes for 3056 yards and 7.2 YPC
Henne would have had the better stats our offense would have had a much more dangerous pass attack and Bess & Hartline would have had better years and Reggie would have had more APY's…
Oh cripes, now see what you guys did? lol
Markeyh, this all may be so, but nobody will ever know so what's the point in trying to argue that?
If the regime see's Henne should be here he will be, if they don't then he won't.
Remember when people were talking about what happens if Sparano wins out, and I said "Markey if what you say is correct then why worry about it, it won't happen?"
Congratulations Markeyh, that's very convincing. But my invented stat category above TDs to Theoretical Turnovers (LOL!) says they grade out about even on one of the only two stats I consider.
Now..yards per attempt could win me over. You want me as an ally? Show me the Yards per attempt for each guy.
"Henne in 3 full games this year took 3 sacks only "
Markey — are you talking preseason stats? He was sacked a lot more than 3 times before he got injured.
Sources confirm that Ross' helicopter has been spotted hovering over the meeting between Fisher and the Rams.
Henne was on pace to rush for 448 yards
Moore was on pace to rush foir 85 yards
Henne was on pace to head to the Pro Bowl….before his injury set him back
It's obvious to me that Henne for whatever reason is not well liked in Miami but I tell you it's a huge mistake to run that kid out of town…..for a backup QB.
But that's just me…
then we must land the Fish…
and markeyh was on pace to say 1,565,798,639,913 time how great henne is
I perceive that number to be way to low..
Markeyh (Mayhem Like Me!)
January 5, 2012 at 8:04 pm
Henne was on pace to rush for 448 yards
Moore was on pace to rush foir 85 yards
And Daniel Thomas was on pace to rush for as many yards as a 3rd, a 5th, and 7th Rounder combined (sorry, I just HAD to! LOL)!
lol talk about stirring the pot!
January 5, 2012 at 8:08 pm
"Henne in 3 full games this year took 3 sacks only "
Markey — are you talking preseason stats? He was sacked a lot more than 3 times before he got injured.
i think you misunderstood him. he said "henne in 3 full games this year made me touch my sack 3 times a game"
Those are regular season projections based off of his 3 full starts…
Only you ffr, only you….lol
And at least according to NFL.com, it was 11 times.
Rob I had it set a little higher but why dicker right
"Remember when people were talking about what happens if Sparano wins out, and I said "Markey if what you say is correct then why worry about it, it won't happen?"
That sent me into full meltdown mode just to think the Tony would have been back….LOL! I totally lost it!
Thanks for those reassuring words Ashley…
At least get the stats right whne you make a point or it isnt really a point is it?
Henne was sacked 11 times in 13 quarters. Thats fact. He did have only one fumble that was recovered by Miami.
I was mistaken on that stat…I must have looked at the preseason sack stat.
Henne was on pace for a 76.0 QBR, a 1:1 TD/INT ratio. Next!
I looked up the yards per attempt myself:
Matt Moore had 7.2 and Chad Henne had 7.8.
Here's what I've concluded. They're exactly the same. LOL! I've seen enough of Henne though, and only seen a few games of Moore. So I guess I'll just go with my gut on this one and say I'd prefer Moore over Henne, but I'd prefer Flynn or RG3 or Luck over either of them.
I don't know if anyone mentioned how many bad snaps were considered Moore's fumbles, there were a few.
Pouncey, bouncey, bouncey. lol
I like both of those guys better myself lol!
Markey, Like you always say, you are what you are. It's true. It's also the same for Henne, he is what he is.
"Those are regular season projections based off of his 3 full starts…"
Markey — Henne was sacked 11 times in his first three games. Guess I just don't get where the 3 sack thing is coming from…..is that a per game average?
Noooo Nooo Nooo Stanger, those other 8 sacks were not his fault, they should not of happened, therefore should not be counted, stop trying to railroad Henne *
LOL…I actually left sacks out of my equation..because the real reason to avoid sacks is not the loss of down or distance (if that were so, holding penaltys drawn would be a better stat then sacks for rating Dlines), it's the chance for turnover.
I'll put up with a sack if the QB will hold onto the ball. But then I'd coach him up real quick to throw it away instead of either
too funny Payaso, just too funny.
Henne's biggest issue was ints. A lot of his were very poorly timed and did equate into points for the other team. People remembered those games very well and never really got over them. Even in this new offense, he was still 1:1 TD/Int ratio and thats just not acceptable. Good guy, bad rifle…
Why does everyone playcate this sh^t day after day. Ignore I implore.
You know Markeyh, if we land one of my guys as starter, I'd resign whichever of these two guys will take less money…but what I would do is irrelevant. I'm not sure what Ireland or whomever is thinking.
Tim earlier figured that was the average numbers of sacks a QB took in games Colombo started…
Well, I have to call it a night. Thanks guys and…
"Last one in the house is…. a big idiot. Take off you hosers, eh"
Peace, Ashley!
Take off eh! Can you pick me up a jelly donut and some beers while you're out eh?
What a slow news day today in the world of the NFL. I was hoping to hear something big… it's like the calm before the looming storm…
I did mix up some preseason stats with regular season stats but not on purpose..
That's cool Markey. We all make mistakes, but with this crew we all have to pay for them as well.
On days that we dont have Stache Day, etc, we have to rattle the bars of the mental patients for our jollies lol. Sick, I know…
Later guys!
MF13, I think we hear some kind of news by Monday hopefully! Philbin would be a pretty good failsafe though.
I hope so, man. Peace!!!
"Why does everyone playcate this sh^t day after day. Ignore I implore"
Slow day Son, what would you like to discuss?
Your stats for Moore are pretty much on par but Henne fumbled 11 times in 13 quarters.
Crap! I'm not sure I'm gonna go back and redo the math though…maybe after I have a beer.
I didn't get to mention it to you earlier, but nice write up on the QB's in this years draft. I have a few differen't opinions on some of the prospects such as Tannehill, but I couldn't agree more with you when it comes to Cousins. I really see him as a Matt Hasselback type of QB. He won't be all world, but he can lead a team and put them on his shoulders. I think the one thing you didn't mention about him was how well he bounces back from making a boneheaded play. In the bowl game he throws a pick, which in all honesty UGA just made a great play, but on the very next drive leads his team down the field and throws a damn perfect strike to his receiver high and away from the defender. He doesn't get down on himself and keeps fighting back.
Oy, I guess we can't talk about how well Moore played unless we project what Henne might have done.
Is Jeff Fisher our HC yet?

Through the world of pageantry, Executive Director Tina DeNard develops young women to fulfill their purpose in life. Over the years, the Miss Black Illinois Pageant has cultivated many Black girls to become productive young women through stressing the importance of education, confidence in oneself and striving for excellence in every area of their lives. The young ladies who have participated in the Miss Black Illinois Pageant and have benefitted from the no-nonsense approach of Tina DeNard are able to reach back and help other young ladies that are in need of mentorship.
Most would think that the world of pageantry is all about glitz and glamour. To the contrary, the Miss Black Illinois Pageant has built their organization upon giving back and community service. Each young lady is required to participate. A lot of Black girls have lived their lives dealing with some of the most unimaginable circumstances and to know that someone is there to help them get on the right track is very significant. If each person could go back and help just one person within their neighborhood, it would make a world of difference. It only takes someone who is willing to share the knowledge they have obtained to navigate through life's ups and downs.
Tina DeNard's ability to be influential in so many Black girls' lives comes from her own passion and drive to seek for excellence within herself. DeNard's career is expansive and incompasses being a Professional Personal Trainer, Fitness Coach, Speaker, licensed Evangelist, CEO of Body by Tina D. and a former Chicago Bulls Luv-a-Bull cheerleader. The discipline and hard work she has maintained throughout her career she has used to lead the Miss Black Illinois Pageant organization.
In the face of all odds, these young ladies who have tapped into the resources made available through the Miss Black Illinois organization have matured into cultured young women. The accomplishments of the young ladies do not go unrewarded. Winner of the Miss Black Illinois Pageant is awarded a scholarship to further their education, round-trip airfare and accommodations to the National Pageant, photo shoot and so much more. To attend the upcoming Miss Black Illinois Pageant, held at the historical Chicago DuSable Museum of African American History on Oct. 25, visit their website for more information.

#25 Softball Sweeps Maine In Home Opener
April 2, 2003
AMHERST, Mass. - The 25th-ranked University of Massachusetts softball team (19-10, 4-0) upped its winning streak to ten straight games with a pair of victories over Maine in its home opener this afternoon at the UMass Softball Complex. UMass took the first game 6-1 and the second one, 5-0, in a game which was called after four and a half innings due to darkness.
In game one, senior Brandi Cross (Diamond Bar, Calif.) provided senior pitcher Kaila Holtz (North Vancouver, British Columbia) with all of the offense she would need by smacking a two-run home run over the left-center field fence in the bottom of the first inning. The dinger, which was her ninth of the season, gave UMass a 2-0 lead. Holtz gave up one unearned run over seven innings as she improved to 9-6 this season. She scattered three hits and struck out ten batters.
Cross provided the Minutewomen with more offense in the bottom of the fifth inning as she blooped a single to right field with the bases loaded driving in two. Senior Emily Robustelli (Stamford, Conn.), who had singled, and senior Anna Perey (Chino Valley, Ariz.), who had walked, both scored on the play. The Minutewomen had the bases loaded with nobody out, but could not push another runner home in the frame.
After the Black Bears scored an unearned run in the top of the sixth inning, the UMass offense scored two more insurance runs to put the game away. Cross came up again with the bases loaded and drove in her fifth run of the game with a sacrifice fly. Freshman KJ Kelley (Rainier, Ore.) singled to right driving in Perey for the inning's second run.
UMass scored once in the first inning of game two and four more times in the second inning en route to a 5-0 victory. Sophomore Kelli Arnold (Kalama, Wash.) gave up two hits and struck out four in five innings. The game was called by the umpires after Maine batted in the fifth inning due to darkness.
Kelley drove in the games' first run with a sharp RBI single to right. Cross, who had singled and advanced to second on a wild pitch, scored on the play. Sophomore Denise Denis (Middle Grove, N.Y.) led off the second inning with a single and scored a couple of batters later when Maine pitcher Sarah Bennis uncorked one of her three wild pitches. Robustelli gave the Minutewomen a 3-0 lead with an RBI double to right center scoring Perey, who had walked, from third. Cross and Holtz also added RBI singles in the inning.
Massachusetts will host Saint Joseph's in its A-10 home opener on Friday, April 4. The doubleheader is slated to begin at 3:00 p.m.
Notes: UMass has now won 10 games in a row and 42 straight at home ... The Minutewomen improve to 26-2 all-time in home openers, 22-2 in the Elaine Sortino era ... With the win in game one, UMass has now won 19 straight home openers ... Cross' nine home runs this season equal her career season-best set in 2000.

Is there a way to count how often apache executes a specific php function?
At the end I want I file like this:
From 2012-01-01 till 2012-01-31 apache executed:
system() : 10
printf() : 1000
I hope you get the idea.

Time Out New York Hires Daniel S. Meyer As New Food Critic
There's a new restaurant reviewer in town.
The magazine announced this afternoon that food writer Daniel S. Meyer has replaced Jay Cheshes, who abdicated the role of Time Out critic in April after five years on the job. First things first: He's no relation to the Gramercy Tavern and Shake Shack restaurateur, but he probably gets that a lot. What do we know for sure? It appears as though he's written for Serious Eats and worked previously as an assistant to Mark Bittman. He's on Twitter, and his first review, which happens to be for Kajitsu, is right here. We're looking forward to reading his work. [TONY, Earlier]

A look back at the support HJR-3 received by lawmakers
The HJR 3 issue's off the front burner now, but it's not dead. Here's why reps from Elkhart County's delegation backed the measure.
Tuesday Feb. 25, 2014
The Indiana Senate voted last week in favor of House Joint Resolution 3, the proposed constitutional amendment to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman, thereby prohibiting same-sex marriage.
Reps from the local gay community I subsequently spoke to (look here) say the fight needs to be kept up against the measure ahead of likely continued debate in 2015 or 2016 and a possible ballot question on the matter in 2016.
- Elkhart County delegation backs push for state initiative against same-sex marriage
- Elkhart County lawmakers foresee debate on marriage amendment, ed, taxes
- Rep. Kubacki to challenger: I will 'keep doing exactly what I always have'
- Sen. Zakas' failed HJR 3 proposal aimed only to clean the measure up grammatically
- Religion and same-sex marriage: Elkhart clergy offers some views
Following, from the other side, is a collection of arguments largely for HJR 3 from Elkhart County's delegation to Indianapolis, all of them Republicans and most of them for the measure. The issue has fallen by the wayside for now, but it'll re-emerge. The comments are pulled from Elkhart Truth archives, from interviews I had with the varied officials.
Timeless: Indiana Rep. Tim Wesco, from Osceola, cited what he described as the timeless nature of male-female relationships. He expressed support for the amendment to "recognize in our state's highest law what was established at the beginning of time."
He later told me that by defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman, it strengthens the institution of the family and, therefore, benefits and strengthens the state. "I think ultimately the ideal is a man and a woman and the state should encourage that ideal," Wesco said, citing biblical teachings and history.
(In the photo, the Indiana Senate's Rules and Legislative Procedures Committee on Feb. 10, when lawmakers on the body passed HJR 3. Photo supplied by Freedom Indiana.)
Tolerance creates threat to schools: Rep. Wes Culver, from Goshen, expressed concern that allowing same-sex marriage would legitimize such relationships and lead to their acceptance and tolerance in public schools. Parents against such marriages would pull their kids from public schools as a result, which would likely lead to moves to let public funding earmarked for such children follow them to private institutions. Ultimately, public schools would suffer and quality of education would take a hit.
Male-female unions, moreover, lead to "stronger families, a stronger society," and they're supported in the Bible, Culver said.
OK with civil unions: Rep. Tim Neese was a bit more vague, as I recall, saying that as a conservative, limiting marriages to male-female unions "is an appropriate approach."
Neese later indicated a more nuanced position. He's open to civil unions between gay partners, he said, and wouldn't object to easing the proposed amendment's language against such relationships. Ultimately he voted, with a majority in the House, to remove a portion of HJR 3 that would've prohibited civil unions.
'Special male-female relationship': Sen. Joe Zakas, Granger, touted procreation as a defense for affirming male-female unions in the Constitution.
"Over the years, societies have shown deference to male-female marriage relationships in order to have a future," he said. "That's a reason that there's children."
Pushing for an amendment isn't necessarily a matter of banning anything, Zakas said, but "recognizing ... the special male-female relationship and marriage."
In another interview he said: "If society's going to have a future, then there's going to have to be children... So favoring the bond of a man and a woman is just common-sense public policy."
Male-female marriage, OK; amending the Constitution, not OK: Rep. Rebecca Kubacki, who ended up voting against HJR 3, backs the notion of marriage as the union of one man and one woman, but she questioned the wisdom of HJR 3. Indiana law already defines marriage as a male-female bond.
Approving HJR 3 would undermine the notion of "protecting our Constitution from supermajorities and the pressures of the politics of the day."
Kubacki continued: "My responsibility as a legislator is to protect and defend our Constitution, not reject and amend it. If we go down that path we might as well just rip it up and make a list of laws as opinion changes."

It's far too early to tell what actually happened yesterday on San Francisco bay, when the second new generation America's Cup boat capsized and was destroyed in moderate weather.
But this much we do know; ... both the Oracle and Artemis team AC72s capsized and were essentially destroyed in winds and conditions that previous America's Cup class boats could have handled easily. The fact that Artemis team member Andrew Simpson lost his life in the latest capsize makes it all much more serious. Fatalities occur in every type of sailboat racing, regardless of their speed, size or high-tech design.
But the fact is that the larger, faster and more high-tech the boat is, the more chance there is for injury or worse to their crews. That's why the current crop of America's Cup boats require crash helmets and personal flotation gear for everyone onboard, something unheard of until recently.
Even the suggestion that helmets might be needed was scoffed at until fairly recently. A decade ago, even personal flotation vests - PFDs - were worn only rarely by most sailboat racing crews, and then usually only during ocean races at night. Sailing magazines and websites were full of heated debates about whether PFDs helped save lives or hindered physical movement onboard, adding to the danger. Far too often, it was left to personal choice as to what safety gear crew's used. Some skippers and owners insisted that such gear be used at all times, but that was rare. Even when most race organizing entities began strongly suggesting that PFDs be worn, they were generally ignored.
It wasn't until reports of sailboat racing accidents became more widely published, and until more than a few wrongful injury and death lawsuits were filed, that crews and owners began taking safety much more seriously, and began insisting that at least minimal safety gear be used by all crews, at all times.
While the use of PFDs has now become almost universal in sailboat racing, some safety devices, specifically safety harnesses that connect the crewmember to the boat, via one or two short leashes,still remain a point of contention. Both sides of this debate have valid points. While a leash will keep the sailor close to the boat in case of a capsize, they can also prevent the crewmember from removing themselves from under water if the harness is caught or unable to be released. Since many crewmembers involved in a capsize could easily be injured or unconscious and unable to release their harness leashes, the problem multiplies.
In the Artemis capsize, no harnesses were involved. The AC72 crews have to be too mobile at all times under sail to have to deal with hooking and unhooking their leash. But they do all wear helmets and some body armour and all wear PFDs to help keep them afloat once in the water.
One of the difficulties encountered when racing on the AC72s is that the boats have two thin hulls and two crossmembers, with space between, and that space is covered by netting, called a trampoline, that allows the crew to walk or crawl around the boat. This netting has to be strong enough to hold thousands of pounds of weight. The downside is that the netting can also prevent an injured or unconscious crewmember from reaching the surface if they are beneath the netting in a capsize. Though each crew usually carries a knife, that obviously does no good if he or she cannot reach or use it due to injury.
The very cold water temperatures of San Francisco bay can add to the danger, since it only takes a few minutes before even the strongest swimmer can weaken due to the cold. The AC72 crews all wear lightweight clothing that is designed to allow the intense movement needed on these boats, while also keeping them warm and relatively safe if they go overboard.
From all reports, Andrew Simpson was wearing a PFD and a helmet and team-issued clothing designed for easy movement plus some protection from the cold water. He may also have had a team-issued breathing apparatus which could be used if he was trapped underwater. But none of this would have helped him if he was injured during the capsize and possibly unconscious, and trapped under the trampoline netting.
- (Update: According to reported statements by the Newcastle Herald attributed to other crew members, Simpson was initially conscious after the capsize and was trapped under the netting and under water. According to the article other crew members gave him their team-issued personal breathing devices, which hold about ten breaths each, while trying to free him.)
None of this is certain at this point, only supposition. We'll all know more as the accident investigation continues. But at this point, it appears that this very tragic accident was very possibly unavoidable given the circumstances. It also appears that no one cut any corners regarding safety or boat design.
The boats being used are a brand new design, using relatively new materials. Carbon-fiber, the primary material used throughout the boats, has been in use for a few decades in aircraft, race-cars and sailboats, it's breaking-limits in some design applications are still a bit of a mystery. Carbon-fiber wings and suspension parts used in Formula One cars have failed for no apparent reason, and similar failures have happened in America's Cup boats. Though most testing can now be done reliably on computers, there is still real-life trial-and-error involved.
All things considered, it appears at this point that everything that could be done was done. In some cases, possibly including this terribly tragic one, the only real cause is simply bad luck.

Your review is pretty spot on Paul - Last Vegas is kinda silly yet kinda fun too. Thank god for Mary Steenburgen, who as always is pretty awesome. Kline and Douglas fare best, as they are most willing to send themselves (and their past) up. Some of the blatant Vegas product placements are pretty distracting though.

Drew Geraci is a 20-year comic book industry veteran who's style of inking has embellished many popular pencil artists on top-selling titles such as Batman, Justice League of America, Thor, Captain America, Star Wars, Final Crisis and more. He is currently working for Disney Worldwide Publishing. Please view the slideshow on the left for some of Drew's fantastic ink work with many great artists. I had the pleasure of interviewing Drew about his career.
Michael Garone: Hi Drew! First job as a comic book artist?
Drew Geraci: Assistant to Dave Johnson on a cover to Freak Force (Image Comics), then I continued to assist him on Superpatriot: Liberty & Justice (Image). Then he recommended me to an editor at DC Comics, and since then I've worked for every major publisher.
MG: Who or what inspired you to become an artist?
DG: I fell in love with the art form at 6 or 7, particularly Marvel because they seemed to stand out on the stands. It's like a light went off in my head, because they were so fun and colorful. Back then, during the summer, television was only in reruns, so I began drawing my own Marvel comics. Every weekend I'd crank them out. 7-page stories and fake letters pages, stapled together.
MG: That's awesome and something I'd like to see. Do you still have these and if so did you ever show anyone at Marvel?
DG: No. I foolishly threw them all away in my early 20's, thinking my dream of working in comics was just that. "Time to throw away all childish things" and all that. Years later, while I excelled in my advertising job, I was dissatisfied. I reasoned: "Why can't I apply these disciplines to breaking into comics?" So I dared to dream again.
MG: Do you relate any character development based on your own life experiences?
DG: In the mid-80's, Frank Miller (Sin City, 300) wrote a story arc in Daredevil titled "Born Again", where someone close to him betrayed him. He then began losing everything precious to him and lost faith. Then he eventually managed to crawl his way back up and find inner strength. I was somewhat-similarly betrayed and it forced me to grow up fast. I didn't lose a law practice and have my brownstone bombed, mind you - that's pretty much where the similarities end.
MG: Who is the one character you have drawn about that you connected with the most?
DG: I'd guess Spider-Man. Despite his super-powers, he has both peaks and valleys and juggles a lot of responsibilities. And at the end of the day, despite his hardest efforts, he feels like he's pleased nobody. And we've all had days like that. That's why he so relatable to everybody.
MG: Who of all the characters you have ever drawn is your favorite? Why?
DG: Iron Man.
All three Iron Man movies pretty much capture it all. Who wouldn't want to be a handsome, witty, genius billionaire who used his brilliance, to not only save himself from terrorists, but later enhance his coolness resume by figured out how to make himself a superhero?
MG: What did you like\dislike about all 3 Iron Man films?
DG: Marvel Studios took a fantastic multi-faceted character that a lot of non-comics people didn't know about and made him a household name. Jon Favreau is a well-regarded movie maker who grew up a comics fan, doing proper research that satisfied both new and old fans.
Even though he didn't write and direct IM3, he was one of the consultants so it kept the feel consistent. Iron Man and Spider-Man probably tie as my favorite characters.
MG: What Marvel story would you like to see made to live action and or animated film? Personally, I'd like to see Civil War made into an animated film.
DG: I think there's a lot of potential in a Doctor Strange movie if it has the right casting. There's rumors online about a movie, with Johnny Depp as the good doctor. I imagine layers of crazy dimensions that nobody but Strange could see, and he is all that stands between these hidden ominous forces and us. These dimensions I picture he'd dip his astral form into, like when you lower yourself into the deep end of a swimming pool.
MG: Do you have any current or future projects you can talk about?
DG: I'm doing art for Disney Worldwide Publishing. Mostly children's' books based on upcoming Marvel movies (since Disney owns Marvel now, it makes the approval process easier). My first one will be based on Amazing Spider-Man II when it hits theaters. I'm currently working on one based on Guardians of The Galaxy, another, lesser-known Marvel property, but it will be another important thread in the Marvel Movie Universe.
MG: Thank you Drew!
DG: You're Welcome!
You can catch Drew at Wizard World Atlanta Comic Con from May 30 thru June 1.

Nov. 6, 2011
FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State dropped a heartbreaker in the 2011 Western Athletic Conference soccer tournament Sunday afternoon. The host team gave up a late goal to Utah State and fell 1-0 in the title match.
This was the Bulldogs sixth championship match appearance in seven years. They are 2-3-2 all-time in title matches and 3-1 against Utah State in the WAC tournament.
Seniors Laura Dodd, Molly Nizzoli and Kendall VanDine were named to the all-tournament team. This was VanDine's second all-tournament nod after being named to the 2010 squad.
Both teams remained scoreless at the break with the Bulldogs outshooting Utah State 8-2, 4-0 on goal.
Hancock missed a chance to put the 'Dogs up in the 50th minute after slipping in behind the defensive line. One-on-one with the goalie on the right side, she chipped the ball wide right.
With seven minutes left in the match, Jade Tarver picked up a crossed through pass from Shantel Flanary just outside the box on the left. Sophomore Lauren Lindstrom caught up, but Tarver cut back just enough to get a shot off. The ball slipped past freshman goalkeeper Katie DeVault and into the far right side for the gamewinning goal.
Fresno State (11-5-5, 4-1-2 WAC) continued to press into the final seconds but were unable to answer. The Bulldogs dominated the match on paper outshooting Utah State 15-5 (5-1 on goal) and earning more corners (6-1).
The season ended for the Bulldogs with multiple records set. Fresno State set single-season program records for assists (36) and fewest home losses (0) as well as most number of student-athletes to earn weekly awards from the conference (7). Individuals etching their name in Bulldog history this year included Nizzoli, junior Callie Hancock and DeVault.
Nizzoli broke the single-season assists record (10) and moved to fifth on the all-time career assists list and 10th on the all-time shots list (107).
Hancock set a single-season record for shots on goal (37) and moved into a tie for ninth place on the all-time career goals list and sits alone at ninth on the all-time career shots (115) list. She finished the season with 33 career points, putting her two points away from breaking into the all-time career points leaderboard.
After a breakout freshman year, DeVault is fifth on the career shutouts list (7) and sixth on career saves with 106. She also set the single-match record for saves (12) against Louisiana Tech on Oct. 21.
The Fresno State defense held opponents to one or less goals 15 times this year, earning 10 shutouts. The Bulldogs leave the WAC 17-13-2 all-time at the tournament.

After he had performed some simple tricks for the amusement and amazement of the child, the boy was anxious for something more sensational and said to Houdini, "Make it rain." Houdini walked out on the porch and noticed from the dark, gathering clouds that a storm was approaching. He repeated a few sentences of hocus-pocus and, with some gestures, at which he was so adept, demanded that the heavens send forth rain. Very shortly thereafter the rain began to come down in torrent, and the boy was flabbergasted. Sensing that the storm was about over, Houdini asked the boy whether he would like to see him cause the rain to stop. Receiving an affirmative answer, Houdini reversed the order of the hocus-pocus, and the rain ceased! The boy, now believing that Houdini actually possessed magical powers, asked him to make it rain again. But Houdini, in a solemn voice, replied that the powers of the air must not be "tempted." Houdini told me this story several years after it had occurred. He thought the lad still believed that he possessed magical powers which enabled him to produce rain.

No. 17 Saints top Bears, 10-4
CANTON, N.Y. - The Potsdam Bears men's lacrosse team (5-5) traveled down Route 11 to face North Country Rival St. Lawrence University (9-3) this afternoon. In a rain and wind filled game the Bears fell to the No. 17 Saints 10-4. Senior midfielder Derek Frost led the Potsdam offense with two goals on the day. The Saints were led by midfielder Pierson Fowler, who recorded a hat trick and a stellar performance from attacker Davey Hovey who tallied a goal and seven assists for a game-high eight points.
The first quarter started off business as usual for SUNYAC Goalie of the Week Stefan Sloma. The Saints outshot the Bears 11-5 in the opening quarter but Sloma was turned aside all but one. After the Bears took an illegal body checking penalty with 3:39 left, Fowler found the back of the net to open the scoring. The Saints didn't add to their 1-0 lead through the rest of the quarter, but didn't waste any time scoring in the second. Potsdam was assessed another penalty and St. Lawrence capitalized with just 1:10 gone to make the count 2-0. At 12:05, Frost cut the Saints lead to one with an unassisted score. The next 11 minutes were scoreless thanks to some excellent goalie play for both sides until St. Lawrence ended the drought with 1:07 remaining in the half. A Hovey shot eluded Sloma to give the Saints a two-goal advantage going into halftime.
As the third stanza got under way, the Saints took control again, scoring three unanswered goals in under five minutes to go up 6-1. At 14:05 Fowler scored his second goal of the day. Just over a minute later at 13:04, midfielder Alden Frelinghuysen tallied off a feed from Hovey. St. Lawrence capped the run at 11:02 as Tucker Garfield struck on another helper from Hovey. The Bears were able to stop the run at 7:54 when Frost notched his second of the day with a man-up goal, closing to within 6-2. The Saints then extended their lead to five after the Bears took two penalties to give St. Lawrence a two-man advantage. Fowler was fed by Hoovey and found the back of the net for his third and final tally.
At 14:39 of the final quarter, midfielder Justin Ingram scored a man-up goal to give the Saints an 8-2 advantage. At 12:40 Potsdam junior attacker Rob Kunz beat Saints goalie Jack Nuland to make it a five-goal difference. Then Bears junior midfielder Jared Flath fed freshman attacker Ed Doherty at 5:08, cutting the Saints lead to just four. However, St. Lawrence answered quickly to put the game away. Just eight seconds later midfielder Marc Perroni hit the net off Hovey's seventh and final assist to make it 9-4. The Bears put together one final flurry, outshooting the Saints 6-1 and hitting the crossbar twice in the final five minutes. But it was Saints midfielder Zach Sloan who scored the final goal with five seconds left for the 10-4 final.
The Saints bested the Bears in all statistical categories except saves. The Bears were outshot 41-31, scooped up 19 groundballs to St. Lawrence's 33 and won just three of 17 faceoffs on the day. Sloma recorded 13 saves and Nuland stopped nine shots.
The Bears are back in action this Saturday, April 20, at 1 p.m. when they host SUNY Geneseo in a critical SUNYAC matchup. Saturday is Potsdam's Senior Day and the contest is the main event of Bears men's lacrosse Alumni Weekend.

Poor Simon. He had been adopted, but returned to Anderson Animal Shelter in South Elgin, IL, and had been waiting for years for someone to give him a second chance. But, at 8 years old and a little portly, he had only slim opportunities indeed. People just walked by and headed for the kittens. Just when hope was almost lost, into his life came Beth Reiter of Chicago, who saw him on Petfinder. She says her cat, Annie, needed a feline companion, and Beth wasn't daunted by Simon's age or appearance. She adopted him, and Simon suddenly found himself in an entirely new situation. "After a bath, he spent the first month hiding under the bed," she says, "but slowly, over the next few months, he expanded his comfort zone to include the entire house." Simon spent so much of his life alone in a cage that Beth doesn't expect him ever to be a cuddly cat, but he now trusts her enough to sleep on her ankles. "That is a reward of its own," she says. "He is very curious and loves to sniff things. His favorite part of his new life is having a cat fountain. He even staged a sit-in protest when his fountain broke until we replaced it." Simon represents thousands of older pets who are too often overlooked when they have so much to give. Petfinder is highlighting them this month for Adopt-A-Senior-Pet Month. <Leave a comment><Return to blog home page> More Happy Tails: Cat litter ad + Petfinder iPhone app = one happy Pit Bull From puppy mill rescue to star spokesdog An abused Pit Bull – amazing before & after pics A Pit Bull whose time almost ran out Puppy mill dogs make case for ballot measure Coolidge deals new pet parents a winning hand Meet Sarge, the Wonder Pit Bull!

Comeback complete. On Wednesday (April 24), Fall Out Boy returned to the top of the charts with Save Rock and Roll, their first album in nearly five years, and their first to debut at #1 since 2007's Infinity On High.
Rock and Roll sold more than 154,000 copies to claim the #1 spot on the Billboard Top 200, ending Paramore's reign atop the chart and serving notice that, after a lengthy hiatus, Fall Out Boy have come back just as strong as ever.
And, though they've been prepping for a big debut all week — and despite the fact they've previously made it to #1 — the success of Save Rock and Roll is somehow sweeter for the FOB guys … because after being away for years, they've learned to appreciate everything, and take nothing for granted.
"I'm just ridiculously humbled and surprised. It just heightens how grateful I am to be making music," frontman Patrick Stump wrote in an email MTV News. "It really is like getting to do-over what should've been one of the best times in my life; Last time I was arrogant. This time, I know how insanely lucky we are."
"This one meant a lot, really and truly because we made this album for ourselves; it's the first time since Take This To Your Grave that we made an album with only our own expectations," Pete Wentz added. "We had hoped that a few people would take notice, or at least we'd get some cult status … [but] a number one record ? Are you kidding me?"
So now, with phase one of their triumphant return in the books, what will Fall Out Boy do for an encore? Well, they're not quite sure … for now, FOB are willing to sit back and enjoy their success. But they're always preparing for the next epic quest.
"I'm just appreciating this stuff," Stump wrote. "It's like when you'd play Nintendo, get through a few levels, maybe forget to pick up that magic sword or whatever it was, so you just reset the game and started over. Only this time, we get to do it in life."
After conquering the charts, what can Fall Out Boy do next? Let us know in the comments below!

Top Chef Recap: Take Us Out of the Ball Game
The chefs have to cater a baseball game and, shockingly, arguments ensue.
Last night's Top Chef finally dropped the pea purée discussion so Ed could walk around in Tiffany's dress. That was some walk of shame! (Kidding, Tiffany's fiancé, kidding.) Sadly, Ed didn't wear it to the Quickfire, where Padma made a number of terrible jokes before announcing that the challenge was to create a dish based on a food idiom, ranging from "bigger fish to fry" to "spill the beans." Because we all know how much D.C. loves idioms! Wait, what?
Ed announced that he doesn't like Amanda because she's an annoying slob, but Angelo thought she was the dark horse. Turned out Angelo was wrong, as Amanda's "big cheese" macaroni and cheese with bacon, jalapeños, and a pork chop ended up in the bottom, along with Kelly's "sour grapes" pan-roasted chicken with caramelized Brussels sprouts. Guest judge Rick Moonen from RM Seafood/Top Chef Masters liked Kevin's "bring home the bacon" bacon three ways, but gave the win to Ed's "hot potato" herb-and-garlic-roasted gnocchi with spring vegetables. He scored his dish being turned into a frozen meal, which Angelo applauded, as he could see Ed's face on some packaging.
For the elimination challenge, the cheftestants were asked to cater a Washington Nationals baseball game, working as a team to create "fine-dining versions of ballpark food." Angelo was excited because, being half Dominican, he loves baseball. Way to stereotype yourself (however, Angelo, if you know Robinson Cano, please call us). We also learned that Ed, despite trying to rep Queens, is actually a Red Sox fan and should therefore lose immediately (not that we're biased). Everything was all fine and dandy until the chefs realized that someone would need to take orders at the game. Angelo stepped up, only to back down briefly before Ed agreed to help plate his food for him, mostly to shut up Kevin's screaming. However, even though Kevin went on a yelling spree, Tiffany still offered to taste his food and offer up honest criticism, remarking, "no one's going home because of me." Tiff, girl, you better win this!
Ballpark-goers ordered a lot of Kelly's open-faced crab cake* BLT with sweet-potato fries, as well as Tiffany's messy Italian-sausage meatball sub with fennel, pesto, and fresh mozzarella, but the judges gave the win to Ed's wonderfully textured, tidy shrimp-and-corn-risotto fritters. Kelly ended up in the bottom, along with Angelo's sweet-glazed pork on a too-bready hot-dog bun; Kevin's super-long-skewered chicken with romesco sauce, shoestring fries, and paprika aïoli; and Amanda's gray tuna tartar with Meyer lemon and fava-bean purée. Amanda wanted them to judge based on taste, but ultimately the judges couldn't get over the unappealing oxidation of her fish, and sent her home. No surprise there.
*Commenters: Didn't Amanda say during the planning session that she wanted to make a crab cake, and Kelly steered her toward fish instead? But then Kelly made a crab cake? Is she responsible for Amanda's loss?
Next week: NASA! Another corny challenge! Buzz Aldrin! The last challenge before the finals! Until then, please enjoy this clip of Angelo discussing his Russian fiancé, whom he's only seen "a couple times." Is he marrying a mail-order bride?!

Modern art has always been celebrated in the Bay Area. In fact, there is a museum in San Francisco dedicated to modern art, though it is closed until 2016. And just recently, exhibitions presenting an aspect of the art movement that had begun to originate in the late 19th century have been popping up, presenting works from prominent artists including Andy Warhol, Judy Chicago and David Wojnarowicz. And now one is coming to San Francisco's DeYoung Museum.
The exhibition is titled Modernism from the National Gallery of Art: The Robert & Jane Meyerhoff Collection, and it feature around fifty works from famous artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. The DeYoung Museum will be the exclusive venue for the exhibition, as it is the first from the Meyerhoff collection to venture out of areas of Washington D.C. and Metropolitan Baltimore.
The Meyerhoff exhibition will be organized into three generational groupings, giving an overview of American art from the end of World War II, up to the end of the 20th century. Highlights include Lichetenstein's Painting with Statue of Liberty (1983) and Barnett Newman's The Stations of the Cross (1958-66).
Billed as a special exhibition, tickets will start at $21 for adults. The exhibition runs until October 12th. Log on to deyoung.famsf.org for more information.

Although I've never met Snoop Dogg before, I remember the time HIGH TIMES presented him with the 2002 Stoner of the Year Award at BB King's in Times Square. Snoop showed up dressed in a black silk suit with a Persian lamb-lined black suede overcoat and matching hat, carrying a silver-encrusted chalice and black cane that I seem to remember had secret compartments in it that were stuffed with weed. To witness that is to know that Snoop's pimp hand is not just strong, it's downright atomic.
The occasion that brought Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa and HIGH TIMES together was the impending release of the stoner comedy, Mac and Devin Go To High School, wherein Snoop plays a student that has been having so much fun in school that he's taking a decade or two to graduate and Wiz plays a sheltered brainiac whom Snoop takes under his wing. Now, if you've seen Wiz's incendiary live performance, it might seem like a stretch to envision him as sheltered, but I noticed he was a bit reserved in Snoop's presence, and in fact Snoop affectionately refers to Wiz as "neph." Mac and Devin promises to be hip-hop's answer to Cheech and Chong, only with a lot more marijuana involved.
For the photo shoot the good folks at DNA Genetics provided Kosher Kush, winner of the 2011 High Times Cannabis Cup Indica Award. When Snoop saw the layout he said, "If this was just a Snoop Dogg shoot, this might be enough weed, but Snoop and Wiz Khalifa? I don't know...
After a dozen-plus joints and blunts, the two sat down for an interview, but we had a surprise for them first. Since they were appearing on the cover of our Cannabis Cup issue, we thought it appropriate that they should give us their own opinions on this year's winners, which arrived from Amsterdam, strapped to the legs of one very exhausted carrier pigeon. After a perfunctory lesson in Cannabis Cup judging, Snoop chose Electric Lemon G, winner of the Sativa Cup, as the best place to start. It should be mentioned that while Snoop and Wiz were beyond professional in their judging methodology, there were a few strains at the end that were left unsmoked.
Unidentified member of the crew [to Wiz]: You want the Swishers now?
Wiz: Hell, no ... I'll never smoke another Swisher in my life.
HT: You don't like the blunts?
Wiz: It's been about four years.
HT: Why'd you quit?
Wiz: Just 'cause I figured out that I don't have to use tobacco with my weed.
HT: I'm reminded of the song on the Mac and Devin soundtrack: "You Can Put It in a Zag, I'mma Put It in a Blunt."
Snoop: That was spawned off of us doing what we do -- it's like, we hanging out with each other and we doing our thing, and I'm smoking blunts and he's smoking Zags, and it was natural. It felt like we should have said that, because that's what we do, and it's perfect for the song, it's perfect for the movie, it's perfect for the soundtrack, it's just a natural feeling -- some people prefer Zags, some people prefer blunts.
Wiz: Yeah, and it's like a unity thing, too, since weed is all about being positive anyway and you have your own purpose in doing what you do. So, you know, that was what brought us together.
HT: So let me ask you about the new movie. As far as I know, Snoop plays kind of the weed Yoda of the high school -- and Wiz, you're like Luke Nonsmoker in the beginning, right?
Wiz: Well, it was less about smoking, how we met -- Snoop's character is just like a cooler guy. He's a 15-year senior, but he's not like dumb or anything; he's just having a really good time in high school. And my character, I'm not a straight-up nerd; I just never really experienced anything or tried anything new. So weed happens to be one of his things, but he's into chicks, cars -- you know, everything that comes with being a man. And then, when we meet and we become friends, the common ground that we share is the weed -- that's what really breaks the ice. We have to do a project, and that's what brings us together, and then the weed is what makes us become friends, and then we really realize how much we have in common, you know, through that leaf.
HT: Snoop, did you have a weed mentor when you were in high school?
Snoop: No, not really. My uncle just used to get down, my mom used to get down ....My uncle used to let me get the roach -- they had little roach clips back in the '70s, and they used to let me come hit it, like, "Superb, come hit this shit!" (They use to call me "Superb.") I'd come hit it for a while, but I wasn't like...I didn't have nobody that just sat me down and schooled me on how to smoke, why I should smoke -- that just came. At one point, I was guessin' -- I was telling my homies, "Man, you all shouldn't smoke," 'cause I was an athlete. So I was always saying, basically, you know, "We shouldn't smoke, we should ball." And then, once I started smoking, I was like, "Shit -- eight day a week, fuck ball."
HT: What sort of weed did you smoke back then?
Snoop: We had Colombian Gold, we had Buddha Thai, Chocolate Thai, we had a sinse -- Red Head Sinse -- and then, when I got out of high school, that's when hydroponic came out....[Grimacing, he pauses to comment on the Electric Lemon G] That smell like dog hair.
Wiz: You know, I lit it and I pulled it back --
Snoop [laughing and pounding on the table]: He hit the shit and then he pull back off: "Hold on, this shit ain't right...."
Wiz: We call this "carpet" -- you know, when you drop some weed in the carpet and you pick that shit up?
Snoop [sparking up some Liberty Haze, first-place winner of the Cannabis Cup]: This Liberty is all right -- try that Liberty, y'all, see what that worth.
Wiz: Please, dude, I'm traumatized.
HT: This reminds me of the song "Smokin' On" from the Mac and Devin soundtrack ....
Snoop: Thank you! [singing] "You might could smoke, but you ain't smokin' what we smokin' on...."
HT: Does LA have the best herb?
Snoop: Man, by far. LA my folk -- because it's open all night, it's like a 24/7 7-Eleven: You can go to the medical spot, or you can go get it from that man.
HT: So were you smoking real weed in the movie, or did you use Hollywood stunt weed?
Snoop [aghast]: Hollywood stunt weed?
Wiz: Nah, see, this is a fucking Snoop Dogg film, so it ain't go down like that....
Snoop [still pondering the unintended insult]: Hollywood stunt weed? We smoke f 'real!
Wiz: It was no Hollywood shit about it -- he reached in his pockets and did this whole thing.
Snoop: I wanted to make my guy feel comfortable on his first time on an acting set, right?
Wiz: Yeah -- and we did it how it's supposed to be done.
Snoop: That's how it's supposed to be done. I wanted him to understand that, you know, this is how we do it: If we gonna do it, we gonna do it big, we gonna do it real -- so that way, if he ever wants to do it again, he understands that's the only way to do it.
HT: So what type of weed were you smoking in the movie?
Snoop: Oh, man, we had some power.
Wiz: He had Master Kush; I had OG Kush, I had Girl Scout Cookies....
Snoop: Purple....
Wiz: Purple, I had Cherry Pie, I had some F1....
Snoop [hitting a new sample, Moonshine Haze, first-place winner of the Sativa Cup]: Moonshine is all right.
Wiz: This is Haze, too?
Snoop: Yeah, it's Moonshine Haze -- you can taste it. You see, we connoisseurs and shit. One pull is all a nigga needs.
Wiz: You can tell it's a Haze by how smoky it is, too.
Snoop: Yeah, you know, some motherfuckers, they take wine and shit, they gotta smell it and taste it and bullshit -- don't even know what year it was. We know what year this shit was made and who made it -- and all that on one pull.
Wiz: I like that power. I usually go for the taste and the smell...but the smell first. I want it to smell like it's lit before you even --
Snoop: -- pull it out the mo'fuckin' jar!
Wiz: Yeah, while it's in the book bag, I want you to be like, "Who's smoking in here, bitch?" And that's who's got some weed!
HT: So tell me how the idea for the movie came together.
Wiz: Just like this -- we were all sittin' around smokin'. Snoop was like -- just based off of how cool we got, you know, immediately -- it was like, "Man, I feel a bond, and I feel like we got something special and that we should capitalize off of it
and make it more than just music, make it more than just music videos. Make it a movie, you know what I'm saying? So, like, live with it, fall in love with us, not only as your favorite musicians but as characters in the movie -- that's taking it to the next level. That's being around forever!" As soon as he explained that to me, I was like, "Yeah, nigga..."
Snoop [passing a joint of Dominator, third-place winner of the Sativa Cup, to Wiz]: This is Dominator.
Wiz [singing]: Dominator ...It's got a sweet little taste to it. I'm not mad at that one.
Snoop: I'm not either. What I wanted to say is this: The weed in Amsterdam is cool, but it can't fuck with this shit out here. I don't ever get, like, high as fuck -- I just be gettin' European high. Because before the LA Confidential came, they had that bullshit Sour Diesel -- that shit ain't fuckin' real. You know I'd know...it was just pretendo. But the LA Confidential is for real, from here! It ain't from there, it's just rooted there, but his momma and daddy come from here -- I'll bet you that.
HT: So what's winning it for all of us so far? Who's in the lead?
Snoop: Liberty wasn't that bad, but Dominator is dominating. [singing] Motivator, Dominator, calculator, I'm a Nator....Yeah, this is it. I know weed helps you creatively with your music, but how has it helped with your acting?
Wiz: It just helps you feel comfortable, like to get in your zone and block everything out and really live what you're saying and be about that shit. 'Cause when we do our music, we really feel that shit, 'cause we talk about shit that we know about and that we've really seen...so that's why you get that emotion. But when you act it and you gotta make that emotion out of nothing, the weed can make you tackle it, maybe [help you channel] some shit you seen before and you can sort of emulate. I know that's what it did for me.
Snoop: Yeah, it makes me feel like I'm in a regular conversation. Like right now, if we was acting, I would look at all the lines -- I would look at his lines and your lines and my lines -- and just like we talkin', I will play it just like the conversation...'cause I'm so high. And I wouldn't be worrying about my lines, I'd be worrying about when you supposed to come in and when you supposed to come in [snapping his fingers], 'cause that's when I'm supposed to come in -- like a regular conversation. And then it takes the hard part of acting out of learning my lines and saying them with the dynamics that the director wants: "Man, fuck the director -- I'mma say this shit the way I wanna say this shit!"
Wiz [lights up some Hawaiian Snow, second-place winner of the Cannabis Cup, takes a few puffs and puts it down again]: I'm ready to get outta Amsterdam.
Snoop: Yeah, me too, bro -- this Cannabis Cup shit ain't right. [Everyone laughs.] Dominator wins by a small margin.
Wiz: I had to eat Skittles just to get the taste out of my mouth.
Snoop: It's all right. They trying real hard over there in Europe, so I can't be mad at them, because when you over there, you either get dirt or you get that.
Wiz: I'm spoiled.
Snoop: Me too. But you gotta readjust sometimes to your environment. You gotta know how to, you know, become a creature of your environment...maximize the strengths of their weaknesses.
Wiz: And be able to share everything with everybody. Can't go over there and say you didn't smoke, you know what I'm saying?
Snoop: When me and my boys was over there, we're jumpin' at 5:30 in the morning, we're going to McDonald's to get a Sausage McMuffin with egg and cheese, hash browns, with some orange juice, you hear me? And then we get that thing that killed John Wayne—LA Confidential.
HT: So what do you think Mac and Devin are going to major in after they graduate high school and go to college?
Snoop: Well, you know I'm gonna major in my Ph.D. -- Pimpin' Hos Daily, that's what I'm majoring in....
HT: What would you like to say to the readers of HIGH TIMES when they're picking up your Cannabis Cup issue?
Snoop: I love the people who read High Times magazine -- I'm a fan, I'm a follower, I've been down with it for many years. I remember going to the HIGH TIMES photo shoot and getting blessed with a big-ass garbage bag full of dope. It was
Chronic, when nobody had Chronic. They had bullshit out there then, and HIGH TIMES were the only motherfuckers who knew where it was. And I went on "The Howard Stern Show," and I was blazing up on Howard Stern and I was like, "You know what? HIGH TIMES is the realest motherfucking magazine in the world!" I said it then and I say it now: You-all stay true to whattcha all do, you-all open your doors up to real people like me and Wiz, and you-all let us speak our minds, say what we feel and do what we do. At the same time, you-all educating people on that real "Mmmmm, do it!" flow.
HT: We love you guys. Thanks for hanging and telling us what's been on your mind.
Wiz: Yeah, thank you all, man, for lettin' me be a part of the culture. I grew up on HIGH TIMES and anybody and everybody who gets into weed or marijuana or anything growing, you know what I'm saying, seeds, the manufacturing of it, but not really like selling it or anything, just really the treatment of it and how you really make it and have it right for people, anybody who gets into that, HIGH TIMES is like a big deal for them, so just to get involved, that you guys look to us for the same inspiration that we look to y'all for. It's amazing. I appreciate it.
