Kristen Wiig and Rose Byrne having a dessert at Channel...

New York threesome ties up all the blues ends:

If jazz is the art of surprise, Moran is a consummate practitioner. He happily incorporated recordings and samples, so songs by Billie Holiday or Mississippi Fred McDowell and fragmentary samples of Fats Waller or Roy Haynes often acted as introductions. These were then joined by his piano, Tarus Mateen’s bass and Nasheet Waits’s drums.



MASTERCHEF contestants were speechless and some in tears yesterday when the Dalai Lama visited the Channel 10 show.

His Holiness spent 50 minutes tasting specially made dishes from the seven remaining contestants.

“They were speechless, they just couldn’t believe it,” judge Gary Mehigan said. “Cooking for the Dalai Lama, it doesn’t get much better then this.

“It was an absolute privilege to have him on the show.”

His Holiness tasted all the dishes, but in line with his Buddhist beliefs, did not judge. Mehigan said everyone involved in the shoot was on a high.

This following the guys at MasterChef photoshopping a picture of them heaping spaghetti on the Dalai Lama’s head. My friend linked this piece to me and at first glance, I found it funny. Then I felt it was wrong to find it funny, specially since my friend seemed pretty upset about it. Well I figured, at the end of the day, funny or offensive, it doesn’t affect how anyone felt about His Holiness. And the article asks ‘Can the Dalai Lama take a joke?’ - I think his agreeing to make an appearance on the show while on visit to Australia answers that question! :)



Deadly Australia Wildfire Smoke Went Stratospheric:

Virtually all weather takes place within the troposphere, with little penetration into the much calmer stratosphere beyond.

However, the strongest of volcanic eruptions do have the energy needed to punch their ash clouds through the resistant tropopause to the stratosphere. Here, ash cloud particles have the potential to linger for months or years, leading to measurable shifts in weather and climate.

Mr Siddaway did speculate as to the effect of bushfire smoke in the stratosphere. “If it was the normal type of aerosols that you could get from this type of forest bushfire, we think it could be a cooling effect,” he said, according to ABC.

So, this journalist tells a joke to the Dalai Lama…
