I meant for my first post to be puppy related but more on that later. A few coyote stories to share.
One morning I let two full grown labs out of the front door to air out before feeding. As I called the dogs back to the front door I could see them being chased from the dark into the light of the front porch by a pair of coyotes. The coyotes turned off as i stepped into the door way at about 20 yards away. Sobering stuff.
A neighbor shot a coyote within a year of that event as it was coming up to his sliding glass window looking at his young son and his smaller bodied yellow lab that were in the house. He said once he saw the coyotes nose on his glass window that it was time for this one to go.
15 years ago I had a coyote false charge an Alpha female black lab of mine. Twice the coyote made an aggressive move towards my lab before planting its front feet as my dog went in the other direction. This was the only canine that lab ever backed away from. It took a voice command to move the coyote back. This was the only time I ever had a coyote hesitate to run off once I was confident that it had seen me. I realized later that it must have had pups nearby.
Another close call involved walking a black lab pup that was under six months old off leash in a field and a group of coyotes tried to engage it in play. I ran toward the three coyotes as I have heard they lure in young dogs before attack. The coyotes were gone in a flash at the first sight of me. The whole incident lasted less than 30 seconds.
The last close call involved a walk in the woods with a three month old puppy. When we made it back to my friends cabin a neighbor called to report that a coyote followed behind us for about 100 yards on our path. I never noticed the coyote myself in this incident.
It would seem puppies and smaller bodied dogs are most at risk.
As for weapon choice I would say hunt them like deer from a blind and get a .243 rifle with a fine scope. I would not bring the dog along for this hunt. As noted by others the chance of an accurate shot at a moving coyote or injury to your dog dictates great care if using your gun on the coyote during a typical day afield with your dog.

The techniques, he said, were approved by Bush's justice department and closely monitored by the CIA. It did not amount to torture and broke no laws or international agreements, and the simulated drowning technique known as "waterboarding" was used only three times.
C.I.A. interrogators used waterboarding, the near-drowning technique that top Obama administration officials have described as illegal torture, 266 times on two key prisoners from Al Qaeda, far more than had been previously reported
The C.I.A. officers used waterboarding at least 83 times in August 2002 against Abu Zubaydah, according to a 2005 Justice Department legal memorandum. Abu Zubaydah has been described as a Qaeda operative.
I guess Cheney has another memory lapse (waterboarding used only 3 times)
In all instances, he said, the methods used produced valuable information about terrorist operations. A future administration prosecuting Americans for what a previous president asked them to do, Cheney said, is a "fundamentally flawed concept."
Then let the CIA that did the torture have immunity and proscute the person(s) who ordered the CIA to carry out the orders.

Go figure a politician that is in it for the money...they are ALL the same.
Good for him. Capitalism will ultimately be the force that helps rescue us from global warming by learning how to profit from the cures. I hope it is not too slow, but I can't think of a faster way to get the job done.
Do you guys have a problem with that approach? Are you socialists?
Jeff Goodwin
This assumes that global warming is man caused and can be stopped or changed. If it is caused by nature, sun spots, normal weather cycles, etc, gores advocacy and profiting from it will actually have arrested, in a sense, mans adaption to global warming, i.e. learning to live on a warmer planet.

The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) will launch the first ever global Diabetes Scorecard to measure government commitments on diabetes at the 66th World Health Assembly (WHA) in Geneva from May 20. Our focus is the 371 million people with diabetes, and millions more living at risk, worldwide. In September 2011, governments pledged to improve diabetes prevention, treatment and management at the historic United Nations Summit [2] on Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs). But despite historical political commitment, there is often no means or mechanism for those affected to hold governments accountable.
Two years on, IDF's Global Diabetes Scorecard will track progress for action for the first time. It will enable IDF and our network of Member Associations to hold governments accountable to the UN Political Declaration on NCD Prevention and Control, and Global Targets set to be adopted [3] at the 66th World Health Assembly. These agreements are a historic pledge to take action which – if fulfilled – will result in tangible change for people with diabetes today. As the experience of the HIV/AIDs community has shown, accountability and civil society monitoring will be crucial to ensure commitments translate into action.
The Scorecard will measure progress on four key elements – prevention, treatment, rights and political leadership, – critical for an effective national response to diabetes. This data will show which countries and regions are succeeding, failing, and where further action or support is needed.
Developed through extensive consultation with IDF's regional and national network and external experts in global health, the Scorecard is a comprehensive tool that will be relevant in all countries. It will have the scope for adaptation within other disease communities, and as governments make further commitments – including in the future development agenda [4]after the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) end in 2015.
As part of the production process, IDF's 200 Member Associations will take part in workshops dedicated to the Scorecard at the World Diabetes Congress in Melbourne from December 2-6, 2013.
Download a snapshot of the Diabetes Scorecard here [5].The Scorecard will be launched parallel to the UN Secretary General's first ever Progress Report on NCDs in December 2013. IDF will align data collection and monitoring to official UN and World Health Organisation (WHO) timelines, supporting and guiding governments to drive real change for diabetes.
IDF gratefully acknowledges the support of Bupa [6] – the international healthcare group – in the project.

Presentation to examine race, poverty and privilege, Feb. 27
Posted February 18, 2004; 08:18 p.m.
Jacob Holdt, vagabond, photographer and activist, will be on campus Friday, Feb. 27, to present "American Pictures," a slide show and live narrative examining race, poverty and privilege in America. The event will begin at 7 p.m. in McCosh 50.
Holdt, a young Dane, arrived in America in 1971 for a short visit with only $40 in his pocket. He ended up staying more than five years, hitchhiking some 100,000 miles across the country. He sold blood plasma twice weekly to buy film for his camera. He lived in more than 400 homes -- from the poorest migrant workers to America's wealthiest families.
Back in Denmark he put together the photos he had taken into a multimedia show called "American Pictures." It was shown in 14 countries between 1976 and 1982. The show then moved to America, where Holdt has since presented it in hundreds of venues. The show has been updated constantly, and one-fourth of the pictures are now from the 1990s. Holdt worked closely with leading educators, psychologists and workshop counselors throughout America and Europe in order to best incorporate universal themes of oppression.
This event is being organized by eight Princeton students who spent fall break traveling throughout the South meeting with civil rights activists and survivors. They hope to raise awareness about the need for a continuing civil rights movement to address racial and social inequality.
Events to follow on Saturday, Feb. 28, include a 10 a.m. workshop on racism with Holdt and a 2 p.m. panel of student, faculty and community organizers called "Apathy and Activism." The location for these events will be announced on the event's Web site .
The showing of "American Pictures" is sponsored by the Pace Center for Community Service, Dialogue@Princeton, the Student Volunteers Council and the Princeton Justice Project. For more information, contact Jennifer Brea .

As long as the Cleveland fans understand that things like this will happen and it's just a baseball game and, ultimately, not that important...things will be fine.
It's just sad, because at one point not long ago Reds fans were all over this kid and his greatness. I think things went downhill with the heavier tattoos he added.

Where I stayed
Green Hill Inn
The bonding power of this long journey was pretty strong so by the time we arrived in Labuhanbajo, a charming little harbour town on the west tip of the island, we had a group of 15 people of ages 22-65 of various nationalities who all checked into the same couple of hotels.
The following day, after enough sleep, we all chartered a boat for a day to go to Rinca Island, one of the two islands of the Komodo National Park where you can see the Komodo dragons
Already on Gili we were told that Flores is one of the best dive destinations on the planet. And we were not disappointed! We've seen fish in sizes we didn't know existed! Huge Sweetlip fishs and Napoleon fishs swam next to us, the Napoleon can grow up to 2m, and this isn't a fisherman's tale! But the best of all were two dives we did with 5m Manta rays, the third biggest creature in the ocean next to whales and sharks. As the Indian ocean meets the Pacific ocean around Flores there are plenty of strong currents, where Mantas like to "hang out" - we spotted over 15 in two dives.
Manta rays are so majestic and graceful; the most impressive moment was probably when we positioned ourselves close by one and it started coming slowly, slowly towards us and eventually it hovered over us less than a metre away and then flew over us and away. Truly amazing
As we spent more time in Ubud and Gili than originally anticipated, we took the decision to charter a car with a driver (nah - car hire only doesn't exist here) for three days to get to the West of the island. Luckily, Leslie and Greg, a nice Canadian couple, were looking to do the very same, so we shared not only the costs but also many Mentos and Sugus on the way!
Flores is one out of 17,000 islands of Indonesia. On our trip over this island we've seen how diverse this one island is and it made us wonder what all the other islands have to offer. At the coast we've seen white sandy beaches, blue pebbled beaches and black volcanic sand beaches. The rugged mountains are mainly volcanos, many of them still active but dormant. Further we've been "rice paddied-up" to the fullest: field rice paddies, terraced rice paddies and spiderweb rice paddies - literally any kind of rice paddies you can imagine. We've also seen hundreds of tree species including mango and grapefruit, which was nice to see that they actually grow on trees. (And I always thought they grown in Tesco's or Migros...)
The people of Flores are really friendly and they generally try to communicate with the tourists. Matt heard a lot of "Hello Mister" and "Hello Tourist", mainly from children, who ran after our car or came to us as soon as we got out of the car. Sweets were always a hit, but since we ate a lot ourselves during the drive we soon swapped over to pens. Augustino, our brilliant driver, helped us a lot with translation and understanding of the Flores culture as well as ordering food in the local warungs (food stalls)
On our wacky 700km race from East to West up and down the windy roads we stopped in Bena, which is traditional village, where people have buffalos skulls and jaws on their houses to show the families prosperity (Matt better start hunting now, so we have at least a calf skull before we retire...). The women are weaving traditional sarongs which are much thicker and warmer then what you can buy usually at every beach, due to high altitude. After a successful purchase I have to say, that Matt looks really pretty in a dress.
The main reason why we started heading West was Kelimutu, a volcano with three summit crater lakes varying in colours. Local people believe that spirits come to Kelimut when people die. Which lake the spirit would enter depends on its age and character when alive. Science still can't explain why the water's colour changes without any prior natural clues. The mineral contained in the water causes the water to change into unpredictable colour, that much is known. as well as the situation in Kelimutu changes not only due to the lakes' colour but also to the climate. It is therefore no wonder that this truly mystical place has become a legend since the old days and has kept its magic spell up until now as Matt and I were absolutely enchanted by it
After Kelimutu we headed for Maumere, where we intended to take a plane back to Bali. We heard a lot of backpacker stories about flying (or rather more not flying) out of Maumere: flights been overbooked and tourists been kicked out, flights been cancelled, rerouted and more. We called the Merpati Airline office and made a booking five days before our flight. We were never quite sure if we really talked to Merpati or an agent and if we actually did have a booking or not. So when we finally arrived in Maumere and went first to the airport and then to the town office in Merpati we were pleasantly surprised, that they did have indeed a booking in our name for the wished date. Now the question was only if they will fly on the day. And yes they did! Once on board we became a bit suspicious, why there was "Merpati Training Centre" written on the head rest of every seat but to our relief it all went smooth and even the luggage arrived safely with us in Bali.
Can't believe our time in Asia is already coming to an end! Next update from Down Under.

Blind Advocates Upset About Nissan EV's Warning Noises

The 2011 Nissan Leaf EV
(Source: The New York Times)
Critics like the basic premise, but say it was poorly executed
After a couple of
years of debate
about how to best handle the risk that silent electric vehicles pose to blind pedestrians, the
2011 Nissan Leaf EV
offered up a creative solution --
artificial noises emitted while driving
. You might guess that blind rights advocates would be happy.
That guess
would be incorrect
, though. The National Federation of the Blind said that while including an alert was a step in the right direction, the system was full of flaws. Their biggest problem was with the fact that the driver could disable the alert. States the group, "[We are] disappointed that the driver is permitted to turn off the sound. [This] in effect, allows drivers to deactivate this important safety feature and thereby endanger pedestrians, especially those who are blind."
Chris Danielsen, a spokesman for the National Federation of the Blind complains, "The biggest thing with us is that we don't think the driver should be able to switch the sound off."
When enabled, the group is okay with the standard driving warning sound, which they say is "sufficient to alert pedestrians". However, they are also displeased with the reverse warning sound, which unlike the forward noise is not continuous. They comment, "Intermittent sound is not as effective as a continuous sound."
Another complaint they have is that no warning sounds are emitted when the vehicle is idling.
The backup noises sounds somewhat like a ringing bell or submarine sonar, while the forward noise sounds somewhat like a jet tanking off (a whistle) -- or as Mark Perry, the director for product planning at Nissan Americas puts it, "You know that show with David Hasselhoff, Knight Rider? The forward sound reminds me of what KITT sounded like."
The sounds are generate by a synthesizer under the hood and should not disturb passengers within the cockpit, thanks to insulating layers. The sounds measure at 2.5 kHz at the high end of the spectrum to 600 Hz at the bottom.
Nissan recruited high profile help to develop the system, including, the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology, acoustic psychology experts from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center and a Hollywood sound design studio that was not identified. Interestingly, The National Federation of the Blind -- the organization that is offering up the current criticism -- also helped provide design input for the system.
Perry defends the system against the recent criticism, stating, "They're entitled to their opinions on the sounds turning off and what the sounds should be. The on-off switch by default is in the on position, and the driver has to make a decision each time to turn it off. The switch is there to balance the needs of drivers and pedestrians, though we think most owners will leave the system on because they can't hear the sounds inside the car."
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and legislators in Congress are currently
working on legislation
which would mandate noisemakers in electric vehicles. There are no such current regulations; the Nissan system was implemented merely in good faith.
"It seems as though my state-funded math degree has failed me. Let the lashings commence." -- DailyTech Editor-in-Chief Kristopher Kubicki

Simply delicious homemade soup! Slow cooking results in a well-seasoned broth and tender pieces of chicken.
Add a teaspoon of grated lemon peel for a Greek touch.
Leaving the pieces of carrots big enough for a fork keeps them fresh tasting, not mushy. Be sure to offer a fork when serving this hearty soup.
Top each serving with a spoonful of pesto for an added boost of flavor.

Are policymakers, economists and peak oilists starting to speak the same language?
Kate Mackenzie, Financial Times
A rash of papers, comments and interviews have made us think this recently. It's not as simple as 'policymakers are waking up to peak oil', but that all those groups — and indeed, industry — are increasingly talking about the same issues looming in fossil fuel production, even if they're using different terminology.
It's still the rare politician or industry executive who would use the phrase 'peak oil'. But in the UK, a country for whom domestic oil production decline is very much a concern, the issue has become almost mainstream.
Chris Nelder has written a couple of posts this month about UK officials 'waking up' to peak oil, which he says was generally considered a "tinfoil hat theory" just a few years ago. But we'd argue it goes further than that: at the same time, those who talk about peak oil are increasingly looking at the language and dynamics which these officials are interested in, namely the economics of supply and demand and of course, pricing...

Demand for oil to outstrip supply within two years
Paul Syvret, Perth Now, Australia
RISING oil prices pose a grave threat to global economic recovery, according to some experts.
The fear has been expressed by the US military and by the automobile industry.
This week in Perth, Volvo's head of product planning, Lex Kerssemakers, said "we all know that oil is running out''.
"We need to find alternative solutions and though we are aware of the alternatives - LPG, CNG, ethanol, electric and so on - we have to introduce these to the market,'' he said...
...Peak Oil is not some myth. It is a very simple equation based on supply and demand related to a very finite resource.
And it could arrive sooner rather than later.

A 'watershed month for the truth about peak oil'
Matthew Wild, Peak Generation
Recent weeks have seen an explosion of information on peak oil – everywhere it seems except in the mainstream media. It may be in the business sections, but not the news pages.
Within the last two months, a variety of sources have come out with warnings about both the immediacy of peak oil and the implications of what happens when demand of such a vital resource becomes greater than supply. What's more, these various an unconnected sources are presenting this as an immediate problem, something requiring urgent and large scale efforts in order to avoid possibly dire economic consequences. You don't get a better definition of news than that (to which you could add the consideration that if news is anything someone doesn't want you to know it doesn't get bigger than this.) Just look at the recent peak oil publications and briefings:...

Artists who will be at this year's festival include photographer Jason Stoddart, fiber artist Linda Lindale, mixed media artist Tracey Savery Davis, jeweler Juanita Havet and painters John Armistead, Bailey Jack and Frankie Buckley.
Entertainment for the weekend includes bands like The Pollies, Paper Blues and McArthur Trio, as well as performances by Tupelo Ballet, Splash and Judy Ready Dance Studio.
The Gum Tree 10k race is Saturday morning. The race map is the same as last year's, beginning at 206 West Main St. and running through downtown Tupelo before ending in Fairpark.
There will also be kids' activities, which will either be free or low cost, Stafford said.
"This is one of the finest traditions of Tupelo," Stafford said. "It celebrates the arts in the community and how the community celebrates art. It's remarkable it's lasted 42 years; it's stood the test of time."

I'll finish that story at the bottom of the post, first I'll talk about a few other things.
I've been spending way to much time on IRC lately. It's getting addicting. We have some of the oddest conversations. Today I just blerted out for no appearant reason:
Unicode needs that wierd Prince/The Artist Formally Know As symbol...
That would make a great character to replace the Euro symbol, I think I'll write a proposal. Why not? They are thinking about adding egyptian hyroglyphs for those in the scientific community. What about the music community?
I also watched the birth of a new open source project in #python. I don't know where it came from, but all of a sudden everyone got excited about writing an IRC bot. While they were asking about what to name the bot, I decided to butt in and offered the name Monty. It got accepted! The final project name is: MontyPybot. So if you see a person on IRC named Monty, who knows, you could be talking to the AI/bot I helped name. I wonder if I can put this on my Advogato list of projects I helped contribute to...
I may offer another suggestion in a day or two. We had the idea on another # about a month ago. The co-dependent bot. It begs and pleads people to stay in the chat room. Threatens suicide if they leave. Makes marriage proposals to complete strangers. Asks for hugs whenever it's feeling bad, ie: all the time.
I'm excited, it's great how open source can make programming fun again. Even for idiots like me.
Now back to my story:
I finally got Linux installed, but in the search to get all my hardware to work and an internet connection to work I probably re-installed between Redhat 6.1, 6.0, and Mandrake 6.0 about 20 times. My ISP has almost no way to find out the DNS number and I don't even know if they know it themselves. Sadly, I ended up going into a Windows help room and using my parents computer ran winipconfig which tells you those magical numbers. That probably took a night in itself. Then I wanted to get my soundcard, a SB Live! Value. It worked by default in Mandrake, but nada in Redhat. So I finally got the majority of my hardware working in Mandrake before I tried installing the SDK. Appearantly, Mandrake has the same bug every distro on the planet based off of RH 6.2 has that kills the SDK. Something about ncurses 5 being marked as 4 and everything being compiled against the wrong version so you can't just replace the rpms without recompiling your entire system. So it was back to Redhat where all I had to figure out was how to compile the sound drivers. I was really impressed with how easy it was to get the sound drivers to work. It took me too tries, but it wasn't too painful and I found a good tutorial on it before I screwed it up the second time.
Since I now had my system working and the Amiga SDK installed, I started to work learning VP. The language itself isn't that bad and is really well suited to being converted to almost any machine language in existance. So as a portable assembly it hits the nail on the head.
Unfortunatly the OS still has several gapping holes/bugs that just make developing for it at the moment a variable nightmare (from a newbies perspective). It doesn't flush output very frequently (or at all) which kills piping tools together, the compiler needs a few additions to make it more useful at finding bugs in the code. That I can tell, it doesn't check the parameter lists fitting with the parameter definations, so you don't know that a function call is correct till it is made and your program crashs. Along the same lines it needs to be able to check system tool calls to the actual tools themselves for spelling. It took me over an hour to find that freevent and freeevent were not the same thing. The GUI API needs to be improved a little, but at the moment that is forgivable because it is in such an early stage.
As a rebellion against all that was Amiga, I switched to learning Python. Actually, I figured that whatever I program in Python will end up being portable sooner or later so either way I'm still programming for it. Just that now, I'm in a better development environment.
I really wish I could feel the Amiga dream, but as time goes but it gets harder and harder. They are thinking about making people pay extra for the Windows SDK even though they have already paid for the Linux SDK. It doesn't seem like it would be that big of a deal, all the would have to be replaced is the runtime environment, everything else they can keep using from the CD because of the portable assembly stuff.
Ohh well, till next time.

Sammy Watkins needs to be a Phin.
Sammy Watkins needs to be a Phin.
Deshaun Watson is the TRUTH!
You could make an argument that Donald should go out to a Closed End or 5-Technique position on base downs. I think he might be special enough to play on the inside on base downs though.
Twitter: @ckparrot
I'm a bit shocked Oregon TE Colt Lyerla isn't in there. I rate him as a late 1st when it's all said and done.
I want another receiver next year. Give me Coleman,Evans,Lee,Watkins, or Matthews
Barr and Tuitt would be nice also. Barr if we let Misi walk or Tuitt if one of Starks or Soliai walks
I don't disagree w/ the top 3.
The only name I don't see is Yeldon the RB from Bama.
Yeldon IMO has the potential to be better than Richardson, Ingram, & Lacy.

Actually, I also want to wear a ski mask and dress in all-black, like a terrorist, but just go about my business shopping, and then check out.
I wonder if I'd get the police called on me? There's no law against wearing a ski mask.
They might say they're going to fine me for wasting their time - but I didn't call them in the first place.
Of course they could try and fine me for disturbing the peace.
Nah. I think I'll stick with the rooster suit. There was a guy at the Chickenfoot / Queensryche concert wearing one (pic attached):

|Lazarus' stunt double
|The Enterprise is surveying an uncharted planet when it experiences a strange anomaly. The ship and everything within sensor range suddenly "blinks", as if the universe itself had momentarily been on the edge of vanishing from existence. Immediately afterwards they detect a ship on the surface with a life form reading nearby. Kirk leads a landing party to the location and finds a man there. They bring him back to the ship where they learn some worrying news - the odd anomaly has drained the dilithium crystals almost completely. Worse, Starfleet has issued an emergency code indicating a possible hostile invasion. The anomaly has apparently been felt throughout the entire galaxy and beyond.and it is feared that it might be a preparation for invasion by some hostile power.
Kirk talks to the man, learning that his name is Lazarus. he claims to be pursuing a monster, a "thing" who he claims destroyed his entire civilisation. Yet Kirk can find no sign of any other person anywhere on the planet. The "blink" phenomenon happens again and Lazarus seems to be subtly changed by it, a wound on his head which had been bandaged suddenly vanishing. This version of Lazarus seems much more reasonable, but as time goes on he switches back and forth between the two states.
On the bridge, Spock has found the beginnings of a explanation. There appears to be radiation emanating from what he describes as a "rip" in the universe, a point where the regular laws of physics do not apply. Spock suggests that the dilithium crystals could be used to locate the exact point, causing an excited Lazarus to ask for the crystals. When Kirk refuses he steals them anyway.
Kirk confronts Lazarus and he confesses that he is a time traveller from the planet below, which in the past supported his civilisation. Kirk and Spock begin to realise that there are two versions of Lazarus, one from this universe and one from another antimatter universe. They are periodically swapping places via the rip. Should one ever catch the other and exist in the same time and place then the resulting annihilation would destroy everything in the entire universe in a massive explosion.
Eventually Kirk is able to come up with a plan; the more reasonable of the two will enter the rip at the same time as his antimatter counterpart and hold him there. The Enterprise can then destroy the ship on the surface, sealing the rip. Although this will make both universes safe, the two Lazarus's will be trapped in the rip forever.
The plan works, and the universe is saved.
|This Side of Paradise
|Spock's stunt double
|The Enterprise visits Omicron Ceti III, the site of a recent Federation colony effort. Unfortunately the effort was believed to be doomed to failure - it was discovered after the ship left that the planet was flooded with berthold rays a deadly form of radiation which no human can survive. Amazingly, though, when the landing party beams down they discover that the colonists are in fact still alive and well!
The colony is led by a man named Elias Sandoval, and includes Leila Kalomi, a botanist Spock knew some years ago. Leila was in love with Spock and always hoped that he might come to love her in return, but was disappointed when his predominantly Vulcan nature led him to deny any such feelings.
As McCoy checks the colonists out he is amazed to find that every single one of them is in absolutely perfect health. Remarkable enough in a large group of people, the change has apparently even erased any trace of previous ailments or injuries. Sandoval claims this is simply a result of their healthy lifestyle and diet, but it is clear that something strange is going on. The Enterprise crew also notice that there is a total lack of any animals life on the planet, and that the colonists don't actually seem to have done much work on the colony in all the time they have been there.
Leila tells Spock there is a great secret on the planet, and promises to show it to him. She leads him to a nearby plant which blasts him with spores. Instantly his emotional barriers disintegrate, and he immediately confesses his love to Leila. Spock leads Sulu and Kelowitz to the flowers to be infected too, and the landing party is quickly overcome. McCoy even beams specimens of the plants up to the ship to spread the infection. In each case the spores give the infected person a feeling of utter peace and tranquility and completely cure any physical injury or ailment, even the effect of berthold rays. However, with their minds completely at peace the infected have no drive, no ambition. The colony is undeveloped because they have spent almost all their time there simply idling. Kirk argues that humanity should not live in such a state, seeing it as simple stagnation, but nobody will listen to him. He returns to the ship to find that the crew have sabotaged it to prevent him from communicating with Starfleet, and almost everybody has beamed down.
Left alone on the bridge and powerless to do anything, Kirk begins to make a log entry when a plant on the bridge finally manages to infect him. He calls Spock to let him know he is on their side now and goes to beam down... but at the last moment he shakes the effect of the spores off and returns to normal. He realises that the prospect of losing the Enterprise for good sent him into an emotional storm and that this cleared the spores from his body. Sensing a weapon of sorts, Kirk calls Spock and convinces him to come up to the ship. He taunts Spock with insults, including racial bigotry. Spock becomes agitated and finally snaps, attacking and almost killing Kirk before he suddenly calms, having restored his emotional blocks as the spores lose their grip. Spock is able to create a subsonic sound transmitter that will provoke the crew below into increasing anger, prompting fights and breaking the control of the spores. Leila beams to the ship, desperate to convince Spock to rejoin her below, but he is immovable in following his duty. The distressed Leila breaks down and cries, and her grief breaks the spores control over her in turn.
The transmitter works, and the crew are soon back to normal. Sandoval comes to realise that their time on the planet has been wasted, and swears to leave and begin over on another world. As Kirk and McCoy reflect on their 'expulsion from paradise' Spock notes that, for the first time in his life, he was truly happy here.
|The Savage Curtain
|Lincoln's and Surak's stunt double
|Abraham Lincoln appears flaoting in space before the Enterprise (!). Understandably surprised, Kirk accepts the former president aboard the ship and gives him a guided tour. Lincoln invites Kirk and Spock to beam down to Exo III, a planet utterly hostile to Human life except for an unexplanable "oasis" spot on the surface. The invitation is accepted, and the officers beam down. They are met by an Excalbian, a silicon being who informs them that his people wish to investigate the Human concepts of good and evil to discover which is stronger. The good are to be represented by Kirk and Spock, Lincoln and Surak of Vulcan; their evil opponents are Ghengis Khan, Kahless the Unforgettable, Zora and Colonel Green. The aliens threaten to destroy the Enterprise in a matter of hours unless Kirk wins the battle.
The two groups skirmish on the surface, improvising weapons from whatever materials are to hand. Eventually Kirk and Spock manage to prevail, and the Excalbians release them and free the Enterprise to continue on its way.

With the COLD spring we've been having in Eastern Washington, wild turkeys are reportedly 2-3 weeks behind their normal schedule. Has this weekend's normal temperatures allowed the Toms to start gobbling a lot more than they have been? Lots of forest access roads in Northeast Washington are STILL blocked by snow, and it's going to take consistently-warm temperatures to melt them off.
I couldn't get out this weekend to hunt (due to other commitments), so did anybody have any luck?

The effective collective: Grouping could ensure animals find their way in a changing environment
Posted January 31, 2013; 03:30 p.m.
Princeton University researchers report in the journal Science that collective intelligence is vital to certain animals' ability to evaluate and respond to their environment. The results should prompt a close examination of how endangered group or herd animals are preserved and managed because wild animals that depend on collective intelligence for migration, breeding and locating essential resources could be imperiled by any activity that diminishes or divides the group, such as overhunting and habitat loss.

Movie Review - The Invisible Woman
January 16, 2014
I am in awe of THE INVISIBLE WOMAN. Directed by Ralph Fiennes and written by Abi Morgan based on Claire Tomalin's book, THE INVISIBLE WOMAN is the story of Charles Dickens and Nelly Ternan, a much younger woman who becomes mistress to the much married Dickens, in a love story for the ages. An intensely enlivened multiple character study that speaks not only to character but character within the confines of socio-politcal mores of the day, while much of the film is quiet introspection, Fiennes offsets that with the ebullient lust for love and life that he himself infuses into his performance as Dickens, making those moments more telling, more impactful, drawing one deeper into history and the heart. The attention to detail is meticulously flawless, transporting one to the day with a full sensory immersion.
As Charles Dickens, Fiennes himself is perfection, embracing the emotional dichotomy of the man. Thoughtful, intense, mind whirling 1000 miles a minute and in the next instant, childlike and free in his thoughts and deed. Fiennes allows us to see the psychological complexities of Dickens not only in thought and deed, but on his face with tenderness, consternation, earnestness and sorrow. He is as mesmerizing and enthralling as Dickens the man as Dickens' own written works are to us as readers.
I had no idea that Felicity Jones could deliver the level of emotional intensity and gravitas tinged with a touch of delicacy that she brings us as Nelly Ternan. Not only is her face luminous with Fiennes camera choreography and Rob Hardy's cinematography capturing every nuance of wonder, conviction and internal struggle of "to love or not to love a married man", but her emotional tone is equally so.
The scenes of Nelly striding ever forth on her daily walks on the beach, dressed in black, have a ghostly yet ethereal tone to them and as the story unfolds, we realize that it is as if she has been living as a ghost all these years as well as being haunted by the ghosts of her past acts. Truly a fascinating dichotomy within the story structure designed by Fiennes.
Supporting performances are not only a delight, but some truly impactful and telling, particularly by Joanna Scanlan as she makes Catherine Dickens more than a buffoonish downtrodden housewife. Eliciting a depth and internal struggle, heartbreak and eventual acquiescence to her husband's wanton ways, Scanlan turns Catherine from what could have been a buffoonish pathetic character piece to a tragic and tortured wife caught between a rock and a hard place. Catherine Dickens was as much an "invisible woman" as Nelly Ternan.
As Dickens' best friend Wilkie Collins, Tom Hollander is a perfect foil to Fiennes' Dickens, serving as a grounding, practical balance to the story. Adding to that balance - and as a wonderful tool into the minds of propriety of the day is Michelle Fairley's Caroline Graves. The scenes between Jones and Fairley are brief but indelible and telling. Equally impressive is the interestingly cold facade that Kristen Scott Thomas gives to Nelly's mother Frances. Always worried about impression, status and her craft more than the truth and her daughter's heart or life. There is a great tone that Scott Thomas lends to the performance that made me believe Frances viewed everything and everyone as chattel.
As he showed us with "Coriolanus", Fiennes is an adept and gifted story-teller, employing every element of filmmaking to spin a web of fascinating and intrigue with the story and characters before us. Showcasing the decorum of the British upper crust of the day with carefully conscribed apportionment of costume, set design, even wallpaper, he immerses us into the various social stratas without wasting precious dialogue on setting a scene. We see it all before us. We see clothing being repurposed from season to season by the acting gypsies of Nelly's family, contrasted with the silver tea services and pristine velvet tufted settees of the monied upper crust or even in Dickens' own well apportioned monied home. He allows Maria Djurkovic's production design to act as its own character, thus freeing the stage for dialogue and insight into the true story of Dickens and Nelly. Fiennes lets the story and the characters breathe.
Fiennes paces the film so well and proves once again that the unseen is often more provocative than the seen, particularly effective during a climactic seduction scene. By the time Dickens and Nelly ultimately consummate their relationship, things have built to an unbridled boil thanks to artful lensing and editing. And again, there is extensive hand-held camera work that allows us to be one with the character, so much so that at times, everything is so in sync you feel as if you are in their shoes.
Rob Hardy's cinematography is a feast for the eyes and never moreso than in capturing the striking loneliness and emotional rage of Nelly in wide shots on the beach with the ocean serving as the visual rage of what she feels inside. Interiors are warm, rich, textured with candlelight and deeper - none dirt showing - color. And then there is the heart-stopping joy of sunny yellows and blue skies, a pastoral and bucolic almost dreamlike happiness for Dickens and Nelly in France. Breathtaking.
Interesting is the lack of judgment on the characters. Where some filmmakers and screenwriters would take this opportunity to inject a manipulative societal commentary, Fiennes and Morgan do not. They stay true to the period, true to the characters, true to the heart.
Directed by Ralph Fiennes
Written by Abi Morgan based on the book by Claire Tomalin
Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Felicity Jones, Kristen Scott Thomas, Tom Hollander, Joanna Scanlan

Choro Ensemble to present evening of Brazilian jazz
Posted September 29, 2008; 06:06 p.m.
The Choro Ensemble, a New York-based group that has won critical acclaim in its native Brazil, will perform "An Evening of Choro-Jazz From Brazil" at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10, in Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall.
Choro music originated in 19th-century Rio de Janeiro, blending European mazurkas, polkas and waltzes with the emergent samba. Choro's lively, sophisticated, polyrhythmic, popular chamber sound -- combining guitar, seven-string guitar, bandolim, woodwinds, and hand percussion -- has influenced such notable Brazilian composers as Pixinguinha, Baden Powell, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Tom Jobim and Hermeto Pascoal.
The Choro Ensemble appears regularly at the Zinc Bar, and has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Jazz Standard, Joe's Pub and the New Jersey Performing Arts Center.
The concert is sponsored by the Program in Latin American Studies and Princeton University Concerts.
Tickets are $16 and are available at the Frist Campus Center ticket office. Tickets also are available online through University Ticketing or by calling (609) 258-5000.

The Bird of Moeraki
We set up on the rocks of Moeraki just outside of Fleurs. There is this abandoned dock here that shoots out into the bay towards the sunset. I like this spot because it is one of the few places on the east coast I have found that points back west towards the sunset.
Taking photos of birds is really really really hard. It just takes a lot of trial and timing! I don't do a lot of close-ups of birds… just not my thing… but I do like to try to incorporate them into the landscape when it feels right!

Our trip to Bath (with our children this time) was also part of a tour, again with Evan Evans Tours. We really only had time to go to the Roman Baths, which was quite something. I don't regret doing it at all, and the kids really enjoyed it also. This truly was ancient history I was walking on and around, and I was in awe.
I do wish we had had more time to explore the town though. I have seen a travel show about it, and I just know it's worth visiting. So, here again, I would like to go back and spend more time, stay a night or two (and NOT be a part of a tour group so I can explore at will).
P.S. The author includes Ston Easton Park with Bath in the listing. It sounds like it is an 18th century mansion turned restaurant. Next time. :)
