Usually misidentified in the trade as K. thyrsiflora.
Succulent expert John N. Trager, Curator of Desert Collections at the Huntington Botanic Garden, in the 2001 March /April issue of the Journal of the Cactus and Succulent Society of America explained the differences:
"The plant commonly distributed under this name [Kalanchoe thyrsiflora], sometimes with the whimsical common name - coined by one enterprising nurseryman - of "flipping flapjacks" is in fact the related K. luciae ssp. luciae. Both species bear the fleshy, paddle-like, obovate leaves to which the common name refers. Those of K. luciae blush deep red, especially with cool winter temperatures. Those of K. thyrsiflora are more uniform chalky green or white, covered with a thick flour-like coating of wax. The flowers of the two species also differ. Those of K. luciae are not strongly scented and have an urnceolate flower tube with pale-yellow lanceolate corolla lobes. Those of K. thyrsiflora are heavily sweet scented with a cylindric flower tube and brilliant yellow broadly obovate lobes."
On March 14, 2014, Professor Yul Kwon, currently an adjunct professor of the Beedie School of Business gave a seminar on what factors shape the economic development in Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. Professor Yul Kwon retired from Griffith University in Australia in 2013, where he served as the Korean Foundation (endowed) Chair in Korean Studies and the Director of the Australian Centre for Korean Studies for 18 years.
Last but not least, we have the Mikey/Foot Soldier 1 two pack. Why is he Foot Soldier 1? I have no clue.. the only difference I can tell between Foot Solider 1 here and 2 that comes with Raphael is that he comes with an extra gun.
Michaealangelo is the fun loving Turtle, and as a coincidence his included accessories sort of reflect that. Mikey has his Nunchucks, of course, as well as an open communicator, transforming rope and grappel, an extra set of hands that seem to actually be meant for use with this grappel accessory, and a Nunchuck spinning effect. Why they gave Raph the pizza slice and not Mikey? Again, who knows, though I suspect it would make you buy Raph if you insisted on having said pizza for Mikey to hold. Marketing.. what can you do. Articulation, QC, paintwork, build, and so on, again, identical to that of the other Turtles. This is why I say that when you buy each of the packs, what you're really buying is a villain with a Turtle, rather than the other way around.. at least from an engineering and design perspective. I'm also guessing that Mikey and Raph are probably two of the more popular Turtles, and can probably pull the weight of having Foot Soldier here as a partner.
Foot Soldier is, well, Foot Soldier. Meant as relatively non descript robotic fodder for the Turtles to beat the crap out of, he's fairly generic looking. Lanky, kind of dressed like a ninja, and has that trademark dislocated neck that gives him the appearance of a slightly younger Professor Farnsworth from Futurama. Accessories include a pair of open fists and a pair of open palms, along with one of the Foot Soldier's traditional weapons, a laser rifle. Definitely been on the wrong end of these things many a time while playing the arcade game. Articulation is identical to that of Shredder, but less restricted due to the fact its skirt is nowhere as rigid as the dual layered piece that Shredder has to deal with, and his head is designed such that it sits on a proper ball joint, allowing for greater range of motion for the head. Of course, he doesn't look nearly as cool as Shredder does, so.. you win some, you lose some. Otherwise, the good paint work, cel shading, QC, and build seen thus far continues. As an added bonus, the paint on the hands of my Foot Soldier do not seem to have an indication of overspray.
With that, the Turtle 2 packs have all been opened, and analyzed. For their price, they're pretty good, as they'd be in competition with the likes of Marvel Legends and other action figures priced in and around the $20 - $25 USD price points, and feature better looking joints than most of the major players out there in your traditional big box stores. Of the releases, Shredder is by far the best, with the Turtles as a whole being second, and Foot Soldier third. Krang is Krang.. he's a beast in and of his own, and really can't be compared to anything else.
I hope you've enjoyed these blurbs about the sets. While I'm done reviewing the sets, I'm not quite done with the figures yet. You see, there's been a lot of trash talk about some products being superior and what not, and I just happen to have a few things lying around that will allow for a ground level investigation of this matter. But for now..
COWABUNGA!

Peace Corps Volunteers ready to make a difference
Thirteen new United States Peace Corps Volunteers were sworn in on Tuesday, December 18, as a final step before moving into villages for their two year assignments. The volunteers just completed an intensive 10-week Pre-Service Training Tuesday and have begun transferring to their individual villages scattered throughout Upolu and Savaii.
Their primary focus is to improve primary school students’ English literacy. In addition, several volunteers are going to villages that were severely affected by Cyclone Evan and will have the unique opportunity to help repair and rebuild the schools they will be working in, as well as help the affected communities in additional ways.
In light of recent events, the volunteers were sworn in by U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Chad Berbert in a private ceremony at the U.S. Embassy Office in Matafele. The following day the volunteers and staff from the U.S. Embassy joined hands with Samoa Victim Support Group to help clean out the SVSG office at the old police building.
“It was quite the task as mud had accumulated up to a foot high in some places due to Cyclone Evan,” Mr. Berbert said. “SVSG is doing great things for people in this country, including aiding people who are suffering because of Cyclone Evan. I’m very happy we could play a small part in helping to return the favor and assist them in recovering from the storm.”
The new Volunteers are eager to start their two year assignments, which will keep them in Samoa until December 2014.
View Large On Black Some people equate the terms bad and evil but there is a difference in the way these two terms are commonly used. As they are most commonly used, evil is the subset of all that is bad delineated from what is merely bad by a conscious intent to do harm. Something is bad if it causes harm but is only evil if some conscious being intended the harm. Evil carries a moral punch. The evil is in the intention. There are therefore bad things or events that are not definitively evil, at least as these two terms are commonly used. If a mudslide destroys a village and people die in their sleep, what has happened is very bad but not evil for it is merely an act of nature, but if somebody had a chance to warn them but didn’t because they wanted them to die, then their failure to warn them would be evil. The evil is in the intent to do harm or allow harm to be done.
The above photo is highly manipulated but is “based on reality”. The reality rests in the two photos that I took within thirty hours of each other. On the first day, I was driving around the beltline on the east side of my home town when I saw this vehicle with the sign, “CAUTION, DO NOT TAILGATE, SHOW GOAT SEMEN ON BOARD.” I quickly grabbed my camera and captured the image you see above, well, most of that image. There was another image that formed in my mind, an image based on but differing from the reality of the photograph that I had just taken. I wanted to make a point. The next day, I spotted a car that was rather ordinary, but it displayed what I wanted to complete the image that had formed in my mind, an Obama bumper sticker. I quickly photographed the back of that car.
After I downloaded the two images from my camera onto my computer, I changed the name of the company printed on the truck to “Superboy Semen”, the license plate number to 666-OWW and removed the owner’s phone number and other identifying information. Then I added the Obama’ 08 sign to the back. The Obama’08 sign was on the back a parked car to my right and the photo was taken from a different angle than the back of the goat semen truck which was to my left. I first changed the perspective (angle) of the Obama’08 bumper sticker to match what it would have been on the back of the truck and then resized it. Then I transferred it to the truck, erased the sticker part of it and changed the color and blur of the lettering to somewhat match the “CAUTION, DO NOT TAILGATE . . . ” sign immediately above it. Finally, after a few more minor changes, I photoshopped seven layers of the altered image and merged them into a final composite which you see above.
The result is a photo I can truthfully say is “based on the truth” because the truck really existed as did the Obama’08 sticker. Now it was not my intention to pick on Obama, I actually admire the guy, but to make this point. I don’t like underhanded, manipulated news reporting on any issue. How can I vote my conscious if I‘m being mislead? How can I know what or who to support if I am being fed partial lies? My purpose in posting this photo is to show graphically what members of JournoList did verbally and graphically on a regular basis to manipulate the news to support their candidates and causes. The big difference is that I am telling you what I did openly and out front. What they did, they did it in secret, never intending to tell their readers and listeners. Did they do evil? Did they intend to harm anybody? Well they harmed the voters right to know the whole truth and they conspired to harm opponents with spurious news stories that they released separately, but in unison. I’ve always admired (not) the ability of the liberal media to be outraged in lockstep. Now we have proof how they do it. One thing we can be sure, what these JournoList members did was a bad way to report the news. This is not a minor problem.

Malvern Link station on 17-2-17. Reading newspapers is certainly become less common. It is also rare for people just to be sitting or standing waiting without a phone in their hands.

An interesting difference in limestone formations, very clearly delineated in a single shot. Inside the Caverns of Sonora, water flowed freely through the caves, forming underground pools. Speleothems continued to form both above and below the water line, but the difference between the two is striking.
