Observer #1
I have been observing people for 45 years now and by my latest experiences it doesn't seem that I learned much from observing. Or - maybe observing is easy, interaction is something that I have a problem with...
Thankfully, there is always art to escape to. I combined oil and acrylic paints on this piece. I noticed that I have more control over oil paints (the bird), can blend easier, make tiny details and stuff like that. On the other side - acrylics give me freedom to be messy, to paint quick layers, play with all the fun additions (transfers, stamps, templates...).9 comments:

At this point, it appears very likely that Mitt Romney is going to be the Republican nominee for president in 2012. He has raised far more money than any of the other candidates, he is leading or is near the lead in all of the early states, the mainstream media have anointed him as the frontrunner and a number of recent polls show that most Republicans fully expect Romney to win the nomination. So will Mitt Romney be the next president of the United States? Well, he certainly fits the part. He looks like a president and he speaks very well. But when you look at what he really stands for that is where things become very troubling. The truth is that Mitt Romney is either very wrong or very "soft" on every single major issue. It would be a huge understatement to refer to Mitt Romney as a RINO ("Republican in name only"). When you closely examine their positions, there is very, very little difference between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. Sure, Romney and Obama will say the "right things" to the voters during election season, but the reality is that a Romney administration would be so similar to an Obama administration that you would hardly know that a change has taken place. What you are about to read about Mitt Romney should alarm you very much. Mitt Romney would be a an absolute disaster for this country, and America cannot afford another disastrous presidency.
The fact that Barack Obama looked sharp and could give inspiring speeches helped him go a long way back in 2008. Well, it is the same thing with Romney. The guy looks very presidential and he sounds very presidential. When backed into a corner, he is extremely slick. He rarely makes mistakes and he is very polished.
Mitt Romney is a "politician" in the worst sense of the word. As his past has demonstrated, he will do and say just about anything in order to get elected. The positions he has taken during this campaign season have been carefully calculated to help him win both the Republican nomination and the general election.
That is why so many call Mitt Romney a "flip-flopper". Romney will take just about any political position if he thinks that it will help him. Mitt Romney's wife, Ann Romney, once made the following statement about her husband....
He can argue any side of a question. And sometimes you think hes really believing his argument, but hes not. So keep that in mind while reading the following information. Mitt Romney is trying to claim that he is a "conservative" and that he is looking out for the American people, but those claims simply are not true.
The following are 16 reasons why Mitt Romney would be a really, really bad president....
#1 Obamacare was one of the worst pieces of legislation ever passed by the U.S. Congress. Mitt Romney says that he would repeal Obamacare, but the reality is that Romneycare was what Obamacare was based on. In fact, a recent MSNBC article brought to light some new information about the relationship between Romneycare and Obamacare....
Newly obtained White House records provide fresh details on how senior Obama administration officials used Mitt Romneys landmark health-care law in Massachusetts as a model for the new federal law, including recruiting some of Romneys own health care advisers and experts to help craft the act now derided by Republicans as Obamacare.
The records, gleaned from White House visitor logs reviewed by NBC News, show that senior White House officials had a dozen meetings in 2009 with three health-care advisers and experts who helped shape the health care reform law signed by Romney in 2006, when the Republican presidential candidate was governor of Massachusetts. Mitt Romney continues to defend Romneycare, but the reality is that it really is a total nightmare for Massachusetts. The following is how one blogger summarized some of the key points of Romneycare....
Punitive To Individuals. Everyone must buy health insurance or face tax penalties equal to 50% of cost of standard policy. Hundreds of millions of dollars being spent on free hospital care were converted into subsidies to help the needy buy insurance. A health insurance exchange was established to help connect the uninsured with private health plans at more affordable rates. Health plans can offer consumers higher deductibles and more restrictive physician and hospital networks in order to lower costs. Punitive to Businesses with 11 or more workers that do not offer insurance must pay a $295 per employee fee. Established payment policy advisory board; one Board member must be from Planned Parenthood. No pro-life organization represented. Provides Taxpayer-Funded Abortions for copay of $50. So what have been the results of Romneycare in Massachusetts? According to the Daily Caller, health care costs and health insurance premiums have gone up dramatically in Massachusetts....
Since the bill became law, the states total direct health-care spending has increased by a remarkable 52 percent. Medicaid spending has gone from less than $6 billion a year to more the $9 billion. Many consumers have seen double-digit percentage increases in their premiums. All of that certainly sounds a whole lot like Obamacare.
Unfortunately, the other Republican candidates have not taken advantage of this weakness. According to one brand new poll, 6 times as many Republicans view Romneycare unfavorably as view it favorably. This is something that the other candidates should be jumping on big time.
#2 During his time as governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney significantly raised taxes. The following is an excerpt from a CBS News article....
Mitt Romney's Harvard MBA and gold-plated resume convinced many business leaders he would follow in the tradition of corporate-friendly Republicans when he was elected governor of Massachusetts in 2002.
Within three years, some had a vastly different opinion, after Romney's efforts raised the tax bill on businesses by $300 million The same article also notes that Romney jacked up "fees and fines" on Massachusetts taxpayers substantially....
Romney and lawmakers also approved hundreds of millions in higher fees and fines during his four years in office. Many in the Massachusetts business community were quite disgusted with Romney by the end of his tenure. Peter Nicholas, the chairman of Boston Science Corporation, says that "tax rates on many corporations almost doubled because of legislation supported by Romney."
#3 Government spending in Massachusetts increased significantly under Mitt Romney. An advocate of smaller government he most definitely is not.
This was especially true for the last two budgets passed under Romney. In fiscal year 2006, government spending in Massachusetts increased by 7.6 percent. In fiscal year 2007, government spending in Massachusetts increased by a whopping 10.2 percent.
#4 It turns out that Mitt Romney is a believer in the theory of man-made global warming. In fact, Al Gore recently praised on Mitt Romney on his blog. In a post entitled "Good for Mitt Romney -- though we've long passed the point where weak lip-service is enough on the Climate Crisis", Al Gore lavished the following praise on the former Massachusetts governor....
"While other Republicans are running from the truth, he is sticking to his guns in the face of the anti-science wing of the Republican Party" Not only that, it is also very important to remember that while Mitt Romney was governor, Massachusetts became the very first state to pass a law to regulate carbon emissions.
#5 If Mitt Romney becomes president, we may actually have "cap and trade" shoved down our throats. While campaigning for president in 2007, Mitt Romney said that he would support a "cap and trade" carbon tax scheme for the entire world....
I support Cap-and-Trade on a global basis but not the USA going alone. I want to do it with other nations involved and on a global scale. #6 Mitt Romney had a horrible record of creating jobs while governor of Massachusetts. According to Boston Herald business reporter Bret Arends, only one state in the entire country was worse at creating jobs while Romney was in office....
During the four years Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts, it had the second worst jobs record of any state in America it wasnt a regional issue. The rest of New England created nearly 200,000 jobs. #7 Mitt Romney was a very enthusiastic supporter of the Wall Street bailouts. When the time comes for more Wall Street bailouts it seems almost certain that Mitt Romney will bail them out again.
#8 If Romney becomes president, get ready for a flood of liberal judges. While he was governor of Massachusetts, there were actually significantly more Democrats among his judicial appointments than there were Republicans.
#9 Mitt Romney is incredibly soft on illegal immigration. Back in 2007, Mitt Romney made the following statement....
But my view is that those 12 million who've come here illegally should be given the opportunity to sign up to stay here #10 While he was governor, Mitt Romney received advice on global warming and carbon emissions from the man who is now the top science adviser to Barack Obama. His name is John P. Holdren, and he has some very, very disturbing ideas. For example, he once wrote the following....
"A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men.
The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births." Holdren also believes that compulsory abortion would be perfectly legal under the U.S. Constitution....
Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society. So if this is the kind of person that Mitt Romney relied on for "scientific advice" while he was governor, what kind of people would Romney bring in to his administration once he is president?
#11 Mitt Romney has been a huge supporter of gun control laws. When he was running for governor in Massachusetts, he made the following statement....
"We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts- I support them...I believe they help protect us, and provide for our safety." #12 Mitt Romney once claimed that he was more "pro-choice" than Ted Kennedy, but now he claims that he is pro-life. In a recent article for WorldNetDaily, Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt explained why so many voters are still skeptical....
This year he's the only major Republican presidential candidate who has yet to sign the Susan B. Anthony List pledge to defend life and defund Planned Parenthood nationwide. Candidates Bachmann, Perry, Gingrich, Paul, Pawlenty and Santorum all signed the pledge, although it should be noted Herman Cain supports everything in the pledge except the Fetal Pain Act. (Cain is not fully pro-life, either.) And who can forget Mitt's famous 2002 campaign debate bragging repeatedly that he's more pro-choice than Ted Kennedy? #13 During this campaign season, Mitt Romney has stated that he only supports partnership agreements for gay couples and not gay marriage, but what Romney actually did while governor of Massachusetts suggests otherwise. In the WorldNetDaily article referenced above, Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt detailed how Mitt Romney aggressively implemented gay marriage in the state of Massachusetts....
When the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decided in 2003 to recognize homosexual "marriage," ignoring the voters and the Constitution, the court admitted it did not have power to issue licenses or force participation by justices of the peace to solemnize the weddings. But as governor, Romney didn't wait for the legislature to act, he just ordered the marriage licenses and weddings to go forward, all by himself. Earlier this month, Romney said in New Hampshire, "What I would support [nationwide] is letting people who are of the same gender form if you will partnership agreements." #14 As late as 2007, Mitt Romney was a member of the Republican Main Street Partnership. The following is what romneyexposed.com says about this organization....
They often work in conjunction with the pro-abortion group, Republicans for Choice, and the Republican homosexual group, the Log Cabin Club. They also opposed the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and set up a 527 campaign committee that received funding from far left funder George Soros. #15 According to the Huffington Post, Mitt Romney has raised more money from lobbyists than all of the other Republican candidates combined.
So if Mitt Romney becomes president, who do you think he is going to listen to - the American people or the lobbyists?
#16 Mitt Romney is a big time Wall Street insider. It is estimated that Romney has a personal fortune of approximately a quarter of a billion dollars, and Wall Street money is being absolutely showered on his campaign.
In a recent article entitled "The Big Wall Street Banks Are Already Trying To Buy The 2012 Election", I detailed how numbers compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics show that Mitt Romney is getting far more money from the "too big to fail" Wall Street banks than all of the other Republican candidates combined. The following is an excerpt from that article that shows how much money employees of those banks (and their wives) have been giving to Romney so far this year....
Goldman Sachs
Mitt Romney: $352,200 Barack Obama: $49,124 Tim Pawlenty: $25,000 Jon Huntsman: $6,750 Rick Perry: $5,500 Ron Paul: $2,500
Morgan Stanley
Mitt Romney: $184,800 Tim Pawlenty: $41,715 Barack Obama: $28,225 Rick Perry: $20,750 Jon Huntsman: $9,750 Newt Gingrich: $1,000 Ron Paul: $1,000 Herman Cain: $500
Bank of America
Mitt Romney: $112,500 Barack Obama: $46,699 Tim Pawlenty: $12,750 Jon Huntsman: $4,250 Ron Paul: $3,451 Rick Perry: $2,600 Thad McCotter: $2,000 Herman Cain: $750 Michele Bachmann: $500 Newt Gingrich: $250
JPMorgan Chase
Mitt Romney: $107,250 Barack Obama: $38,039 Rick Perry: $27,050 Tim Pawlenty: $16,750 Jon Huntsman: $7,500 Ron Paul: $5,451
Mitt Romney: $56,550 Barack Obama: $36,887 Tim Pawlenty: $5,300 Rick Perry: $3,000 Herman Cain: $1,465 Michele Bachmann: $1,000 Ron Paul: $702
As you can see, no other Republican candidate even comes close to Romney at any of these big Wall Street banks.
In fact, of the candidates that are left in the Republican race, Mitt Romney has raised 13 times as much Wall Street money as anyone else has.
The following are the overall donation numbers from employees of the big Wall Street banks and their wives....
Mitt Romney: $813,300 Barack Obama: $198,874 Tim Pawlenty: $101,515 Rick Perry: $58,900 Jon Huntsman: $28,250 Ron Paul: $13,104 Herman Cain: $2,715 Michelle Bachmann: $1,500 Newt Gingrich: $1,250
These numbers paint a very disturbing picture. Even though Romney's poll numbers are in the mid to low 20s most of the time, employees of the big Wall Street banks gave him $813,300 during the first 9 months of this year and they only gave $105,719 to the rest of the Republican candidates combined.
It is quite obvious that the "establishment" is in love with Mitt Romney.
But if the American people elect Mitt Romney, they will get someone who believes in big spending, big government, bank bailouts, health care mandates, climate change legislation, liberal judges, gun control laws, amnesty for illegal aliens and making things as comfortable for the fatcats on Wall Street as possible.
Yes, Barack Obama has been absolutely horrible, but the answer is most definitely not Mitt Romney.
Look, the truth is that another four years of Barack Obama would be a complete and total nightmare.
But so would four years of Mitt Romney.
America deserves better than the "lesser of two evils".
Unfortunately, the American people have been dead asleep and have been sending incompetents, con men and charlatans to Washington D.C. for decades.
Right now it looks like the Republican Party is going to nominate yet another establishment "politician" in 2012.
Hopefully people will wake up to the truth about Mitt Romney while there is still time.
He can argue any side of a question. And sometimes you think hes really believing his argument, but hes not. So keep that in mind while reading the following information. Mitt Romney is trying to claim that he is a "conservative" and that he is looking out for the American people, but those claims simply are not true.
Surprised they could keep it to 16.
There are some zeros missing from that 16.
... and he'll still be 100 times better than Obama.
Will I be happy if Romney gets the Republican nomination? No.
Will I vote for him over Obama? Absolutely.
I've followed Romney for years, supported him in 2008 over McCain, and frankly, I think he'd be a good President.
That said, my biggest fears are:
1) Does he have the balls to do what is going to be required to defeat Obama and the MSM Media Machine behind him?
2) Does he have the balls to do what is going to be required to turn this economy around?
This is a far different environment than 2008 was, even with the messianic media worship of Obama. It's now an atmosphere of HATE. Pure, unadulterated, Left and Media HATE.
Newt Gingrich might be a real son-of-a-bitch, but I think a real son-of-a-bitch is exactly what it's going to take to defeat Obama, and do the hard things that are going to have to be done to turn things around. And he has a history of doing the hard things.
He may be exactly the right bastard, at exactly the right time, much like Winston Churchill was.
Sorry for the stark descriptions, but that is EXACTLY what it is, IMHO.
I'll write in "Mickey Mouse", Mitt is more dangerous in the long run, because he is more stealth in his socialism....Obama is right up front about it, so it's easier to oppose.
I would vote for him if he is the nominee, only becasue we must get Obama and his Marxist corrupt Administration out of office before they can do more long term damage to this nation.
And if he is the nominee, it will be the end of the GOP as a political party, even if he wins the Presidency. A new third party of conservatives and Tea Party Patriots will create a party for themselves and leave the GOP go the way of the Whigs.
A win for Romney is a Pyrrhic victory for the GOP.
I am fighting for Newt now. He is the only one who can beat Obama. And that is the truth.
Ineligible Dog Abuser and Backstabber:
"Put this thing on the roof of our car."
Romney's bad behavior Exposed by Seamus
"... and he'll still be 100 times better than Obama."
Why don't you post the hundred ways...? We'll judge if you are correct.
I just can't vote that way any more. I've been a dutiful, though unsatisfied, voter for all GOP presidential candidates since I was eligible to vote.
What I've learned about voting for lesser evil is you get what you vote for.
The only real differences between Romney and obama is not where they will take us, but how they'll get us there and they'll finance it.
One way or another, obama and the DNC are going to drag us kicking and screaming and throw us over the cliff and into the socialist pit.
Romney, like the Bushes, is all about kinder, gentler Progressive-ism.
They're really "Compassionate Progressives" who'll throw us into the same, but better managed Big Government utopian hell as the demonrats, but without our kicking and screaming. They want us to like the idea.
I think I'll pass.
Conservatives don't trust Romney because of his past statements and his record as governor in areas such as taxes, gun control, and "social issues." I don't trust him on those issues but I don't think he is as fanatically wrong as Obama is, and if he were President we could put pressure on him, whereas we can't with Obama.
On the economy and national defense he would be a lot better than Obama--he doesn't want to destroy capitalism or weaken the US like Obama does.
No matter how bad you think he'd be, he will be far better than the POS marxist in office now. FUBO.
Romney will never be POTUS as his nomination will hand the election to Obama just like McCain did in 2008 and Bob Dole handed the election to Clinton in 1996. So-called Moderate Republicans don't have a chance as they stand for nothing and will not take the issues to their opponent least it seem uncivil or upsetting to other moderates.
His scorched earth campaign style makes me angry.
His gaff prone, out of touch with the average voter persona makes me cringe.
And, some of his past campaign platforms makes me fearful of giving him power.
Finally, I am bothered by doubt about the kind of nominee(s) he'd appoint to the SC.
To me, exchanging FUBO for FUMR isn't moving the ball forward and won't win the Superbowl in November.
why don't they get it????
It's about RomneyCare, Stupid !
I agree with you. But I don't see how it is going to happen given the current electoral math:
He'll follow the same policies as Obama, just tinkering around the edges. And what makes it worse is that the Republicans in the House and Senate will back him up, while there's a chance they would defy Obama on the vary same point.
Well, maybe I over-stated that. There's a small chance that the Republicans in the Senate would stand up to anybody; they'd find a way to have sympathy for the Devil himself.
Aren't you LDS?

Here is the thread to appreciate Mirror Master (McCulloch),one of my favourite villains and one of the most original villains,that appeared in the comic books of all time!!! Soon found more scans,I will update it!!!
Mirror Master can use the suit to alter people perception,inducing a hypnotic ilusions.
Mirror Master can use mirrors,to create perfect duplicates of himself or/and of other peoples. The duplicates are capable to move,speak and react as him,perhaps because McCulloch uses a kind of mimicric mechanism which allows the duplicates act like him.
Mirror Master is able to teleport himself and others peoples not just through mirrors,but also through others reflexives surfaces.

Canna (or canna lily, although not a true lily) is a genus of 19 species of flowering plants.[2][3][4] The closest living relations to cannas are the other plant families of the order Zingiberales, that is the Zingiberaceae (gingers), Musaceae (bananas), Marantaceae, Heliconiaceae, Strelitziaceae, etc.[5]
Canna is the only genus in the family Cannaceae. The APG II system of 2003 also recognizes the family, and assigns it to the order Zingiberales in the clade commelinids, in the monocots.
The species have large, attractive foliage, and horticulturists have turned it into a large-flowered and bright garden plant. In addition, it is one of the world's richest starch sources, and is an agricultural plant.[5]
Although a plant of the tropics, most cultivars have been developed in temperate climates and are easy to grow in most countries of the world as long as they receive at least 6–8 hours average sunlight during the summer, and are moved to a warm location for the winter. See the Canna cultivar gallery for photographs of Canna cultivars.
The name Canna originates from the Latin word for a cane or reed.[6]
The plants are large tropical and subtropical perennial herbs with a rhizomatous rootstock. The broad, flat, alternate leaves that are such a feature of this plant, grow out of a stem in a long, narrow roll and then unfurl. The leaves are typically solid green, but some cultivars have glaucose, brownish, maroon, or even variegated leaves.[5]
The flowers are composed of three sepals and three petals that are seldom noticed by people, they are small and hidden under extravagant stamens. What appear to be petals are the highly modified stamens or staminodes. The staminodes number (1–) 3 (–4) (with at least one staminodal member called the labellum, always being present. A specialized staminode, the stamen, bears pollen from a half-anther. A somewhat narrower 'petal' is the pistil which is connected down to a three-chambered ovary.[5]
The flowers are typically red, orange, or yellow or any combination of those colours, and are aggregated in inflorescences that are spikes or panicles (thyrses). Although gardeners enjoy these odd flowers, nature really intended them to attract pollinators collecting nectar and pollen, such as bees, hummingbirds, sunbirds, and bats. The pollination mechanism is conspicuously specialized. Pollen is shed on the style while still in the bud, and in the species and early hybrids some is also found on the stigma because of the high position of the anther, which means that they are self-pollinating. Later cultivars have a lower anther, and rely on pollinators alighting on the labellum and touching first the terminal stigma, and then the pollen.[5]
The wild species often grow to at least 2–3 m (6.6–9.8 ft) in height, but there is a wide variation in size among cultivated plants; numerous cultivars have been selected for smaller stature.[5]
Cannas grow from swollen underground stems, correctly known as rhizomes, which store starch, and this is the main attraction of the plant to agriculture, having the largest starch particles of all plant life.[5]
Canna is the only member of the Liliopsida class (monocot group) in which hibernation of seed is known to occur, due to its hard, impenetrable seed covering.[7][8]
The genus is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the New World, from the southern United States (southern South Carolina west to southern Texas) and south to northern Argentina.[5]
Canna indica has become naturalized in many tropical areas around the world, is a difficult plant to remove, and is invasive in some places.[9]
Canna cultivars are grown in most countries, even those with territory above the Arctic Circle, which have short summers but long days, and the rapid growth rate of cannas makes them a feasible gardening plant, as long as they receive 6–8 hours of sunlight each day during the growing season and are protected from the cold of winter.
The first species of Canna introduced to Europe was C. indica L., which was imported from the East Indies, though the species originated from the Americas. Charles de l'Ecluse, who first described and sketched C. indica, indicated this origin, and stated that it was given the name indica, not because the plant is from India, in Asia, but because this species was originally transported from America: Quia ex America primum delata sit; and at that time, one described the tropical areas of that part of the globe as the Western Indies.[10]
Much later, in 1658, Pison made reference[11] to another species which he documented under the vulgar or common name of 'Albara' and 'Pacivira', which resided, he said, in the 'shaded and damp places, between the tropics'; this species is Canna angustifolia L., (later reclassified as C. glauca L. by taxonomists).[2]
Without exception, all Canna species that have been introduced into Europe can be traced back to the Americas, and it can be asserted with confidence that Canna is solely an American genus. If Asia and Africa provided some of the early introductions, they were only varieties resulting from C. indica and C. glauca cultivars that have been grown for a long time in India and Africa, with both species imported from Central and South America.[12] Since cannas have very hard and durable seed coverings,[7][8] it is likely that seed remains would survived in the right conditions and been found by archaeologists in the Old World if Canna had been grown there from antiquity. If the soils of India or Africa had produced some of them, they would have been imported before the 1860s into European gardens.[13]
Although most cannas grown these days are cultivars) (see below), there are approximately 20 known species of the wild form, and in the last three decades of the 20th century, Canna species have been categorized by two different taxonomists, Paul Maas, from the Netherlands[19] and Nobuyuki Tanaka from Japan.[2] Both reduced the number of species from the 50-100 accepted previously, assigning most as synonyms.
This reduction in species is also confirmed by work done by Kress and Prince at the Smithsonian Institution; however, this only covers a subset of the species range.[20]
See List of Canna species for full species information and descriptions.
See the List of Canna cultivars for photographs of Canna cultivars.
Cannas became very popular in Victorian times as garden plants and were grown widely in France, Germany, Hungary, India, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the USA.[5][21] Some cultivars from this time, including a sterile hybrid, usually referred to as Canna × ehemanii, are still commercially available. [22] C. × ehemanii is tall and green leafed with terminal drooping panicles of hot pink iris like flowers, looking somewhat like a cross between a banana and a fuchsia.[23]
As tender perennials in northern climates, they suffered severe setbacks when two world wars sent the young gardening staff off to war. It took many years for the frugalities of war and its rationing subsequences to change to the more prosperous times of the late 20th century. The Canna genus has recently experienced a renewed interest and revival in popularity.[3]
Once, hundreds of cultivars existed, but many are now extinct. In 1910, Árpäd Mühle, from Hungary, published his Canna book, written in German. It contained descriptions of over 500 cultivars.
In recent years, many new cultivars have been created, but the genus suffers severely from having many synonyms for many popular ones. Most of the synonyms were created by old varieties resurfacing without viable names, with the increase in popularity from the 1960s onwards. Research has accumulated over 2,800 Canna cultivar names, but many of these are simply synonyms.[24]
See List of Canna hybridists for details of the people and firms that created the current Canna legacy.
In the early 20th century, Professor Liberty Hyde Bailey defined, in detail, two 'garden species' (C. × generalis[25] and C. × orchiodes[26]) to categorise the floriferous cannas being grown at that time, namely the Crozy hybrids and the 'orchid-like' hybrids introduced by Carl Ludwig Sprenger in Italy and Luther Burbank in the USA, at about the same time (1894).[5][27] The definition was based on the genotype, rather than the phenotype, of the two cultivar groups.[21] Inevitably, over time those two floriferous groups were interbred, the distinctions became blurred and overlapped, and the Bailey species names became redundant.[3] Pseudo-species names are now deprecated by the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants which, instead, provides Cultivar Groups for categorising cultivars (see groups at List of Canna cultivars).[28]
The Canna Agriculture Group contains all of the varieties of Canna grown in agriculture. "Canna achira" is a generic term used in South America to describe the cannas that have been selectively bred for agricultural purposes, normally derived from C. discolor. It is grown especially for its edible rootstock from which starch is obtained, but the leaves and young seeds are also edible, and achira was once a staple food crop in Peru and Ecuador.[5] Trials in Ecuador using a wide range of varieties have shown that achira can yield on average 56 tons of rhizomes and 7.8 tons of extractable starch per hectare. However, the crop needs 9–12 months to mature to full productivity.[29]
Many more traditional kinds exist worldwide; they have all involved human selection, so are classified as agricultural cultivars. Traditionally, Canna edulis Ker Gawl. has been reputed to be the species grown for food in South America, but C. edulis probably is simply a synonym of C. discolor, which is also grown for agricultural purposes throughout Asia.[30][31][32][33][34]
Cannas grow best in full sun with moderate water in well-drained rich or sandy soil. They grow from perennial rhizomes, but are frequently grown as annuals in temperate zones for an exotic or tropical look in the garden.[3] In arid regions, cannas are often grown in the water garden, with the lower inch of pot submerged. In all areas, high winds tear the leaves, so shelter is advised.
The rhizomes are frost tender and will rot if left unprotected in freezing conditions. In areas which go below about −10 °C (14 °F) in the winter (< USDA Zone 8b), the rhizomes can be dug up before freezing and stored in a protected area (above 7 °C or 45 °F) for replanting in the spring. Otherwise, they should be protected by a thick layer of mulch over winter.[3]
These canna cultivars have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit:
Cannas are largely free of pests, but in the US, plants sometimes fall victim to the canna leaf roller moth, and the resultant leaf damage, while not fatal to the plant, can be most distressing to a keen gardener.[3]
Slugs and snails are fond of cannas and can leave large holes in the leaves, preferring the tender young unfurled leaves. Red spider mites can also be a problem for cannas grown indoors or during a very hot, long summer outdoors.[3] Japanese beetles can also ravage the leaves if left uncontrolled.[50]
Cannas are remarkably free of diseases, compared to many genera. However, they may fall victim to canna rust, a fungus resulting in orange spots on the plant's leaves, caused by over moist soil. They are also susceptible to certain plant viruses, some of which are Canna-specific, which may result in spotted or streaked leaves, in a mild form, but can finally result in stunted growth and twisted and distorted blooms and foliage.[21]
The flowers are sometimes affected by a grey, fuzzy mold called botrytis. Under humid conditions, it is often found growing on the older flowers. Treatment is to simply remove the old flowers, so the mold does not spread to the new flowers.
Seeds are produced from sexual reproduction, involving the transfer of pollen from the stamen of the pollen parent onto the stigma of the seed parent.[4] In the case of Canna, the same plant can usually play the roles of both pollen and seed parents, technically referred to as a hermaphrodite. However, the cultivars of the Italian Group and triploids are almost always seed sterile, and their pollen has a low fertility level. Mutations are almost always totally sterile.[5]
Canna seeds have a very hard seed coat, which contributes to their dormancy. Germination is facilitated by scarification of the seed coat, which can be accomplished by several techniques.[51]
The species are capable of self-pollination, but most cultivars require an outside pollinator. All cannas produce nectar, so attract nectar-consuming insects, bats, and hummingbirds, that act as the transfer agent, spreading pollen between stamens and stigmas on the same or different flowers.[5]
Since genetic recombination has occurred, a cultivar grown from seed will have different characteristics from its parent(s), thus should never be given a parent's name. The wild species have evolved in the absence of other Canna genes and are usually true to type when the parents are of the same species, but a degree of variance still occurs. The species C. indica is an aggregate species, having many different and extreme forms ranging from the giant to miniature, from large foliage to small foliage, both green and dark foliage, and many different coloured blooms, red, orange, pink, and yellow, and combinations of those colours.[5]
Outside of a laboratory, the only effective asexual propagation method is rhizome division. This uses material from a single parent, and as there is no exchange of genetic material, it almost always produces plants that are identical to the parent. After a summer's growth, the horticultural cultivars can be separated into typically four or five separate smaller rhizomes, each with a growing nodal point ('growing eye'). Without the growing point, which is composed of meristem material, the rhizome will not grow.[5]
Micropropagation, also known as tissue culture, is the practice of rapidly multiplying stock plant material to produce a large number of progeny plants. Micropropagation uses in vitro division of small pieces in a sterile environment, where they first produce proliferations of tissue, which are then separated into small pieces that are treated differently so that they produce roots and new stem tissue. The steps in the process are regulated by different ratios of plant growth regulators. Many commercial organizations have produced cannas this way, and specifically the "Island Series" of cannas was introduced by means of mass-produced plants using this technique. However, cannas have a reputation for being difficult micropropagation candidates.[3]
Micropropagation techniques can be employed to disinfest plants of a virus. In the growing tip of a plant, cell division is so rapid that the younger cells may not have had time to be infected with the virus. The rapidly growing region of meristem cells producing the shoot tip is cut off and placed in vitro, with a very high probability of being uncontaminated by virus.

California Documentary Project
What do the occupation of Alcatraz, the science fiction of Ursula K. Le Guin, the unresolved legacy of war for Fresno's Hmong community, and a funky punk band from South Central LA all have in common?
They're just a few of the stories told by the film, radio, and new media productions we've supported through the California Documentary Project (CDP). Each adds a new layer to a complex and growing portrait of California. Together, they help us better understand who we are and where we live.
We at Cal Humanities have a long history of supporting exceptional documentaries that have won Emmys, been nominated for Academy Awards, and garnered Peabodys. Through national broadcast, distribution, and film festival screenings, they inspire lively conversation, quiet reflection, and surprising epiphanies.
Since 2003 Cal Humanities has awarded nearly $3 million in research and development, production, and public engagement grant awards to media makers who go deep and reach broadly to capture California in all its complexity. Click HERE to see descriptions of past and present CDP projects.

KYLE STOECKLI Obituary
STOECKLI, Kyle Pascal, born March 18, 1992, passed away on June 1, 2013. Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost one shines down on us to let us know they are with us. The heavens have opened with the loss of our loved one Kyle Stoeckli. SPC. Stoeckli was a graduate of Cosby High School, Midlothian, Va. He worked at Panera Bread putting in 40-plus hours while at Cosby. Kyle enlisted in the United States Army, where he received 11 honors including: The Bronze Star, The Purple Heart, The Army Good Conduct Medal, The National Defense Service Medal, The Afghan Campaign Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Medal, The Army Service Ribbon, the Army Overseas Service Ribbon, The NATO Medal, The Expert Infantryman Badge and Combat Infantryman Badge. At the time of his death he was serving with the Third Platoon, Centurion Company, 1st Battalion, 36th Infantry Regimen Combat Team, 1st Armored Division in Maiwand, Afghanistan. He was an assistant gunner and vehicle commander. Before leaving for Afghanistan, he had been stationed at Ft. Bliss, Texas. Kyle is survived by his loving parents, Bruno and Sonja Stoeckli; sister, Stephanie Stoeckli; godmother, Lizbeth Burri of Schenkon, Switzerland; godfather, Daniel Roeoesli of Rotenburg Switzerland; grandmother, Alice Stoeckli of Buttishole, Switzerland; aunts and uncles, Werner, Thomas, Peter, Priska and Brigitte, all of Switzerland; and special friends, Becca Reading, Neil Murphy, James Shadbolt and Michael Kilroy, all of Midlothian. Kyle's celebration of life will begin on Wednesday, June 12, at Bennett Funeral Home at 14301 Ashbrook Pkwy., Chesterfield, Va., where his family and friends will receive visitors from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. It will continue with a memorial service on Thursday, June 13, at 4 p.m. at St. Gabriel's Church, 8901 Winterpock Rd., Chesterfield, Va., with a reception following at the church afterwards. Kyle's family has asked that in lieu of flowers, anyone wishing may donate to the Kyle Stoeckli Scholarship fund at
. Kyle was the epitome of the saying, "Live, Laugh, Love." He lived life to the very fullest, enjoying every adventure he created or was created for him. You never saw Kyle without his huge, infectious smile and sincere laugh, and Kyle loved everyone and everyone loved Kyle. He will be sorely missed by those who knew and loved him; however, his light will shine on forever.

Just had to put a blowoff tube on my belgian quad. I used some extra ingredients and as a result it has a very high SG (1.12). Took maybe 3-4 hours after I pitched the starter until I found this.
That looks like a slick fermentation chamber. I almost always attach a blowoff tube to my fermenter now. I have had way too many batches volcano out of the airlock.
Bacteria are the only culture some people have.
it's a Vissani wine chiller. The temperature control thingie at the top isn't very good. I haven't finished the controller yet, but its close. Being able to control the temperature of my brew over the internets is going to be sweet That picture is taken after I cleaned up a bit. There was a beer snake shooting out of the airlock spewing krausen everywhere. First time I've had that happen. Very neat looking
nice looking fermentation You might want look into getting a bigger primary in the future. My 6.5 glass carboy sometimes required a blowoff, but now I use a 7.9 bucket and haven't had much come up in the airlock.
I think I will. That's a 6 gallon better bottle. Obviously a half gallon of headspace was insufficient for this batch. This is the second batch I've made with a starter, the difference is amazing.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Grand Canyon West Rim Day Trip by Coach, Helicopter and Boat with Optional Skywalk. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
I had the most amazing trip..enjoyed every minute..Grand Canyon heli trip was awesome.
The company was very organized and check in process was rather fast. The bus that picked us up at the hotel was delayed but we had good communication with the company and were assured the pickup. Felix Our guide was very helpful and friendly. He gave us information about to move around the park and make the most of a day. The bus was nice, clean and comfortable. The helicopter ride was amazing everyone should do it it was an incredible view and experience..
Awesome tour - we took the full package of helicopter ride, pontoon boat ride and skywalk. Completely blown away! Highly recommended!
Driver was very knowledgable and attentive.
Time was a little tight, didn't have time to visit the hualapai village - would have loved another hour.
Brilliant day seeing and doing some awesome things that could only be described as being a dream come true.Would just question whether it would be possible to do all the things you had paid to do if the trip had been undertaken in a busy holiday period.Think at best it would be tight and a decision might have to made as to which part of the trip you wouldn't be able to do
Spectacular tour and nice people
Great tour. With all the activities you should do in the Gran Canyon. The helicopter ride was amazing, and the boat tour is interesting as well because you get to see the canyon from below. After that you have plenty of time for two stops, take a lot of pictures and climb Guano Point. Thomas de bus driver was great and lots of fun. Totally recommended!
I loved the tour, except for the walk on those old jaggedy stones down to the pontoon on the Colorado river. I think they should make it a little more accessible, especially for older people like the golden girls that the indian boys were calling us.
This tour was amazing!
We really enjoyed the day we spent travelling to the canyon. Everything went smooth and was well planned. Unfortunately for us the skywalk was closed due to lightening which is totally understandable but we weren't too upset because the helicopter to the bottom of the canyon was totally amazing! So glad we did this tour.
An excellent tour and a really informative and helpful guide Ken. Dante's point was very impressive and overall a well recommended tour.
A must do. If you're going to the Grand Canyon, then it has to be seen from all angels so the helicopter and boat trips are the way to do it. Breathtaking views. Wonderful day
Amazing the best tour really recommend it to people it's a must do
Everything went like clockwork from pickup to drop off. Driver was informative and interesting!! This trip made our stay in Las Vegas!!
Amazing!!!! Our driver Sam was entertaining and knowledgeable! He kept us all amused on the way there and showed a film on the way back. We could have done with more time at the canyon, but Sam gave us invaluable advice re the order in which to complete our activities so that we could fit everything in – it was a bit rushed though. The canyon itself is remarkable. The helicopter ride was incredible and the boat trip was marvellous. For us, the West Rim was the best place to visit as it is owned by native Americans rather than the American government meaning that while 'health and safety' standards were not what you would expect at a tourist attraction, you could literally walk to the edge of the canyon – mind-blowing!! The Skywalk was wonderful but you are not allowed to take cameras or phones so you can't take pictures but you can buy photos that are taken of you: a rip off or a savvy business decision? I guess that is up to the individual traveller. The lunch was of a very low standard but this was outweighed by everything else in the day being so fantastic.
United Kingdom
Words don't do it justice.... well worth every penny!! If you can do the Helicopter trip to the River the views of the Canyon are out of this world, the views from the Skywalk is amazing, gutted we couldn't take our own camera on the Skywalk but prices are reasonable for pictures.

The Coney Island Polar Bear Club's annual New Year's swim looks like a great time. People in costumes, swimming, having fun. We probably should've gone, but there was that whole hangover thing to deal with. Which makes us wonder, does jumping into the freezing Atlantic ocean cure a hangover? If so, we're totally there next year.
We were all shocked over the weekend by the news of an armed robbery at the Cinnabon in Columbia Center Mall in Kennewick. What a brazen crime for our community at such a beloved business!
Turns out it was all FAKE!
The pop singer wasn't even in the car. He had loaned it to his friends. Lil Twist was driving. The police officer in the traffic stop sent the photographer back to his vehicle, and the man did not look both ways before crossing the street.
A power outage Friday morning in northern Richland knocked out several traffic lights, including the one at the intersection of Aaron Drive and State Route 240. While city crews had all lights repaired by 11 a.m., the Washington State Department of Transportation (WDOT) said everyone was off work and the light would be fixed Monday.
Apparently, many people are taking this Mayan calendar thing seriously!

Littleton's Village Book Store writes its final chapter

It would also be the last time.
Plenty of loyal readers would say that for decades, the landmark shop was the heart of Main Street. It had certainly been a primary North Country destination for locals and visitors throughout the region.
But a few weeks ago, when customers showed up one weekday morning, they were greeted by a brief written message from owner Jeff Wheeler thanking all for their loyalty over the years. The door was locked and the inside dark.
Huge Internet marketers, notably Amazon.com, recast the bookselling landscape. Even such once-thriving nationwide retail chains as Borders couldn't survive that development.
At the same time, Littleton embarked on a major public works project that tore up Main Street's sidewalks, creating piles of excavation debris that blocked access to businesses. It also eliminated Main Street parking on both sides for a long time, further interrupting local commerce.

Perceptions of reality Willing to rattle me Within the fallacy Of malignancy That makes one go into mental distrophy & physical atrophy Of the unholy who commence the blasphemy Undertaken by plastered thieves Who master the leaves on the Tree of Life & fail to live up to the hype Like the 3rd reich Going down the water pipe Infested in flouride Forced to abide Where the fire collides All things set aside For the riding tide That forever binds The gracious minds With segacious rhymes On round behinds Be wise in who you decide To be kind to So, you won't feel the need to rewind & remain in a time loop

Ellsbury is on first of a tied game with the Yankees. Steals second. On a ground ball to first goes to third. Scores on a fly ball to left. THEN.........bases loaded, two outs, score 2-1, Pettite on the mound with Ellsbury on third. The windup and the...........Ellsbury steals HOME! Speed kills, man.
I"m sure you can catch it on any sports show, maybe even YouTube. Oh, and when he went to third, the grounder was to the third baseman. Sorry, I don't have a link, but I'm sure someone will be able to post one. Sox three outs to sweep.
Pettite shouldn't have gone from the windup, and Ellsbury knew when he did it he had the speed to make it home.
Absolutely ridiculous. Pettitte's face is priceless. He can't believe it, and he prides himself on quick throws to first/home too.
. Gotta love it. Ellsbury's a real find. He put it to Pettite and the Sox put it to the Yanks this weekend. Woot!!! :singing:.........................:singing:................................:singing: //

Homeless population rises in Eau Claire
EAU CLAIRE - Despite what you might think, the economy does not have to be in the tank for the homeless population to rise. In Eau Claire, advocates for the homeless say the number of empty apartments has dropped – and in many cases, rents have increased beyond some people's ability-to-pay them.
In the meantime, the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram says the community's homeless shelters are full – and waiting lists for potential residents are getting longer.

F4F Wildcat and F6F Hellcat Aces of VF-2
Aircraft of the Aces (Book #125)
The first VF-2 was a prewar unit that had been dubbed the 'hottest outfit afloat' due to the skill of their non-commissioned pilots. This first unit only saw combat at the Battle of the Coral Sea, but VF-2 pilots flying Grumman F4F Wildcats were able to rack up 17 claims there during the bitter 48-hour period of fighting. The second 'Fighting Two' was armed with the new Grumman F6F-3 HellcatRoad of 10,000 Pains: The Destruction of the 2nd NVA Division by the U.S. Marines, 1967

"Oh, yes," a retired NVA officer matter-of-factly declared to former U.S. Marine Otto J. Lehrack. "In the Que Son Valley in 1967, we killed more Americans than at any time or place during the war."

This is as close as you'll get to a World War II–era P-51 Mustang without flying one yourself. The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang first started appearing in real numbers in 1943, at the climax of the Allied campaign in World War II.

The 199th Light Infantry Brigade was created from three U.S. infantry battalions of long lineage as a fast reaction force to place in Vietnam. As the book begins in December 1967 the brigade has been at war for a year and many of its battered 12-month men are returning home. The Communists seem to be in a lull and the brigade commander requests a transfer to a more active sector just above Saigon.Americans in Combat, 1918 to Today
"I love the infantry," famed war correspondent Ernie Pyle said, "because they are the underdogs. They are the mud-rain-frost-and-wind boys. They have no comforts, and they even learn to live without the necessities. And in the end they are the guys that wars can't be won without." This book tells the stories of these soldiers. From the muddy trenches of France in World War I to the aridU.S Marine Corps Helicopter Operations in Vietnam
This work describes U.S. Marine Corps helicopter operations, including their actions and evolution, throughout the Vietnam War. The book is divided into parts spanning the three stages of the Corps combat deployment: "Buildup (19621966)," "Heavy Combat (19671969)," and "The Bitter End (1975)." Each part includes chapters devoted to "telling the story" of Marine helicopters from the individual
