The 2012 recipient was:
Talibah Newman | Sweet Honey Chile'

|The 2012 recipients were:
Jesse Moss | Reality Party
A documentary about a group of Southern California teenagers who get together and have a party. Then the parents show up. And the cops too. But this party is different. It's a "fake " party, to show parents what actually happens at teenage parties. But for Jace, the "director, " the experience is a kind of existential nightmare, forcing him to revisit his own painfully awkward teenage years again and again. Rooftop showed Moss' documentary Full Battle Rattle in 2009.
Julia Pott | Neighbors "Diamonds "
In this endearing narrative music video, a trapped little boy and a wounded girl flee to the ocean as their bodies splinter into brightly colored glitter, in a parable about the brevity of life and the need for adventure. Rooftop previously screened Pott's animated films Howard (2011) and Belly (2012).
We believe that short films do not receive the attention they deserve in the world of film, and that all too often even a festival which prominently includes short films does little for the filmmaker in the long run. For the short film grants, Rooftop Films earmarks one dollar from every regularly-priced ticket sold and every submission fee received for the Filmmakers' Fund. Every year, filmmakers whose movies have screened at Rooftop Films are eligible to apply for grants for their future productions. We believe that instead of giving each filmmaker ten dollars, giving away a few larger sums (up to $3,000) toward specific projects is a better way to help the filmmakers and the independent filmmaking community in general. Past recipients have included Johannes Nyholm's Las Palmas , Kelly Sears' Once It Started It Could Not End Otherwise , Emily Carmichael's Ledo and Ix Battle Epically , Sara Zia Ebrahimi's Norman Schwartzkopf Made Me Gay , Moon Molson's Crazy Beats Strong Every Time , James M. Johnston's Knife , Dustin Guy Defa's Family Nightmare , Don Hertzfeldt's I Am So Proud of You , and many others.
The 2012 recipients were: Mauricio Arango | We Won't Always Be Hyenas
Set in El Salado, Colombia, a town that underwent one of the most vicious massacres in recent Colombian history, this film will mix fictional and documentary elements showing how these peoples' lives have been impacted by such an event. Scripted in a non-linear fashion, the film explores the ways in which violence permeates and shatters every aspect of one's life. Rooftop showed Arango's film The Night of the Moon Has Many Hours (2012).
Stephen Irwin | The Obvious Child
The Obvious Child is an animated film about the complicated relationship between a pet rabbit and his troubled young owner. The film explores childhood delusions and the confusion that religion can cause in a developing mind. Irwin's previous film, Moxie, played at Rooftop Films in 2012.
Nellie Kluz | Gold Party
Gold is a commodity that thrives in uncertain economic climates; rising gold prices over the past few years have created a boom industry around precious metal scrap. Gold Party watches two gold scrap dealers at work: Kate, an entrepreneur and bodybuilder who buys gold from women at home parties, and Roy, who works long hours processing metal in a small Boston office. Kluz's previous film, Young Bird Season, played at Rooftop Films in 2012.
Edwin Martinez | The Last Doo Wop
Set in El Salado, Colombia, a town that underwent one of the most vicious massacres in recent Colombian history, this film will mix fictional and documentary elements showing how these peoples' lives have been impacted by such an event. Scripted in a non-linear fashion, the film explores the ways in which violence permeates and shatters every aspect of one's life. Rooftop showed Arango's film The Night of the Moon Has Many Hours (2012).
David and Nathan Zellner | Part-Time Jobs
Part-Time Jobs is a short film amalgamation involving a parallel dimension the filmmakers discovered as children. Rooftop has screened numerous Zellner films, including Kid-Thing (2012), Sasquatch Birth Journal 2 (2011), Quasar Hernandez (2007) and more.
The 2011 Grantees were:
Eastern Effects is film production rental house based in Brooklyn. Since 1999, Eastern Effects has been providing Lighting & Grip Equipment Rentals for Independent Feature Films, Television Productions, Corporate & Industrial Videos, Student Filmmakers, and Live Broadcast.For this grant, Eastern Effects will award 30 days of lighting and grip equipment to one feature-length film.
The 2011 recipient was:
Gillian Robespierre | Obvious Child
In 2010, Rooftop showed Gillian's short film of the same title, and helped place her feature screenplay in IFP's Emerging Narrative showcase. The story follows Donna—to be played by former Saturday Night Live cast member Jenny Slate—a young woman living in Brooklyn who has just had her heart broken, and after a spontaneous one-night stand, finds that she's pregnant. The film comically follows Donna dealing with an unplanned pregnancy and her post (post) graduate struggles. The idea of adulthood paralyzes Donna, and a world without fart jokes is very scary world to her. But as Donna's mother and best friend share their experience with abortion, we realize that this irreverent comedy is also addressing a serious subject. Because while parts of Donna's life may seem bleak, she is an uplifting, funny character, and a joy to watch fumble around, make mistakes, and in the end realize she is exactly where she needs to be. Finally, on her way to the clinic, she happens to run into Sam, the one-night stand who put the proverbial bun in her oven. What follows is a great first date in an unlikely location, an abortion, and a happy ending for all.
Edgeworx Studios is a post-production house based in Manhattan. With a fifteen year track record, Edgeworx provides full service production and post-production. Their areas of expertise include motion graphic design, animation, VFX, editorial and finishing. For this grant, Edgeworx will provide 1-2 weeks of post-production services to one feature-length film. The 2011 recipient is:
David Lowery | Ain't Them Bodies Saints
Rooftop screened David's short films "A Catalogue of Anticipations" and "Pioneer," and his debut feature, "St. Nick." "Ain 't Them Bodies Saints" is a fiction feature that plays upon the mythology and imagery of the Western to tell an intimate story of hubris and redemption. Set roughly in the late 1970s, the film tells the tale of a renowned outlaw named Bob Muldoon, who escapes from prison after being incarcerated for a string of crimes all across the Southwest. He hightails it to his hometown in the Texas hill country, settles down in an abandoned farmhouse, and plans to call on his wife, Ruth, who years ago was his partner in crime. They now have a daughter, a little girl who was born while he was prison, and Muldoon's plan is to reunite with the two of them and steal away to the North to start new lives together. He wants to be the man in their life, to provide for them. To be the good father he never had. What he doesn 't count on, however, is that Ruth has moved on. http://atbsfilm.com/

Sarah Daggar-Nickson | A Light in the Night
Rooftop screened Sarah's short film Dead Handsin 2011. In her new short, in the woods, in the middle of the night, a girl is running for help. She sees a light and is drawn to an old house. Inside is a young man lost in mourning. She discovers the boy's mother has committed suicide. He has given up on life because he believes the world to be a dark and perverse place. The girl is in danger, but she has a secret- one that could save the boy or destroy him.
The 2010 Grantees were:
Andrew Semans | Nancy, Please
"Nancy, Please" tells the story of Paul Brawley, a young, gifted, aimless PhD candidate at Yale. Paul has just moved into an apartment with his competent, pragmatic girlfriend, Jen, and is struggling to complete his dissertation before embarking on a career in academia. Adulthood looms; responsibility beckons. There's just one snag: as Paul is unpacking his belongings, he discovers that he has left behind a seemingly inconsequential object that Paul feels is of great importance to his dissertation and, therefore, to his future. He will have to retrieve it from his former roommate, the obstinate, casually sinister Nancy. Caught between an impatient girlfriend and an equally impatient thesis advisor, Paul starts to lose his grip. His annoyance turns to rage and then to obsession. Unable to accept his "defeat" at Nancy's hands, Paul rushes headlong into a thresher of emotional torment and physical punishment. His life will get much, much worse before it gets better. From the director of "I'd Rather Be Dead Than Live in this World" and "All Day Long," both of which played at Rooftop, and shot by Eric Lin ("The Exploding Girl"), "Nancy, Please" is a trenchant genre-bender that combines heightened naturalism with elements of the macabre and surreal. Relentless and darkly comic, the film dramatizes how a seemingly mundane conflict can – in the proper psychological soil – evolve into something dangerous and explosive, and how passivity and misplaced idealism can lead to horrific consequences.
T. Sean Durkin | Martha Marcy May Marlene
Haunted by painful memories and increasing paranoia, a damaged woman struggles to re-assimilate with her family after fleeing an abusive cult. After being gone for 3 years, Martha returns home to live with her sister and her sister's husband. Martha's brainwashed social views and her loss of normal human behavior make it impossible for her to connect with her family. As her isolation grows, so does her severe paranoia. In an attempt to explore her recent past and make sense of the cult life she has escaped, Martha enters into a dizzying state of confusion where no one can be trusted and the escalating fear that the cult is hunting her, grips her every move. Based on the true story of an escapee from the Manson cult, this quiet psychological thriller comes from the director of the Cannes-award winning "Mary Last Seen." Shot by Jody Lee Lipes ("Tiny Furniture"), one of Filmmaker Magazine's "25 Faces to Watch," and edited by Zachary Stuart-Pontier ("Catfish"), "Martha Marcy May Marlene" was a participant at the Sundance Filmmaker Labs. www.blfilm.com
Eva Weber | Black Out
Set in Equatorial Guinea, this evocative and poignant documentary will show the struggle of a number of young children to reconcile their daily lives in one of the poorest countries in the world with their desire to learn. Only about a fifth of Guinea's 10 million people have access to electricity and even those that do experience frequent power cuts. The average Guinean consumes 89 kilowatt-hours per year--equivalent to running an air conditioner for four minutes a day. Students have discovered G'bessi International Airport at the outskirts of Conakry. As the sun sets over the capital, hundreds of elementary and high school students head to the airport, hoping to reserve a coveted spot under the oval light cast by one of a dozen lampposts in the parking lot. The film will join a number of children on their track to the airport and spend the night with them at the airport until they go back home. "Black Out" is a tale about the myths of globalization--an international airport brings empty promises of prosperity, but these resourceful children are desperate to gain an education. Weber's previous films at Rooftop were "City of Cranes" and "Steel Homes," which appeared on the Channel 4 and POV, and played at festivals including Sundance, IDFA and Silverdocs.www.oddgirlout.co.uk
Kelly Sears | Once It Started It Could Not End Otherwise
Part disaster film, part Freudian animation, "Once It Started It Could Not End Otherwise" is a collage animation made from early-mid 1970s high school yearbooks. A series of absurd and horrible disasters strike this American high school that eerily mirror larger political and social markers of the time - the final days of the Vietnam War, the Watergate scandal, doomed cults, frenzied meditations and underground radical groups. These catalysts set in motion an unsettling chain of events that overtake this high school one extra curricular activity at a time. This cinema verité styled film echoes a larger sense of trepidation, collapse and mania that not only characterized this time, but resonates in the current cultural climate as well. Sears has screened multiple films at Rooftop, including "The Drift," "Devil's Canyon" and "Voice on the Line," which have also appeared at venues around the world, including at Sundance, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
Emily Carmichael | Ledo and Ix Battle Epically
"Ledo and Ix Battle Epically" is the third film about Ledo and Ix, two adventurers in an old-school fantasy video game. This film centers particularly on Ledo, the tiny 8-bit heroine who has been obsessively upgrading her weapons and tirelessly honing her attacks, all in preparation for great battles that have never materialized. In the first two Ledo and Ix films (both shown at Rooftop) she strode boldly into the void and found only the other side of the void, and boldly approached a blot on the map that might have been brain fungus but instead was a stupid town, offering only the promise of stupid human interaction. Ix was really excited about that. But Ledo doesn't want human interaction. Frankly, she gets enough of that from Ix. What she wants is to do some damage. In this third film in the series, it looks like she'll get a chance to do just that. But, since the early 90's video game that our heroes inhabit is extremely primitive, it's likely to go worse and more hilariously than Ledo hopes. Carmichael's films have appeared at Slamdance and SXSW, among others. www.kidcandrive.com
Johannes Nyholm | Las Palmas
Marja, a middle-aged woman is by herself on a holiday in the sun. We follow her one day from morning to night. She makes clumsy attempts to approach other people but is constantly rebuffed. At a bar she makes overtures to the guests and staff, gets drunk and dances on the tables. She then turns out to be broke and not able to pay the bill. She visits the beach, swims out to an empty boat out in the sea. Falls asleep. She awakens, burnt by the sun. And there, on the edge of the boat, finally finds a friend: a seagull. They sing together. From the renowned Swedish animator of "Dreams from the Woods," this classical narrative of loneliness is complicated by the method used: the role of the middle-aged woman Marja will be played by a toddler, the other characters by marionette puppets. The choice of a one-year old in the lead role adds a delightful comic effect, an irrational, unbridled element that is impossible to direct. The film thus becomes both a documentary depiction of a small child, and a depiction of a much older woman's humiliation and exclusion. Nyholm's previous two films have premiered at Cannes, and his work is supported by the Swedish Film Institute. www.johannesnyholm.se
Christopher Miner | Don't Kill Your Son's Life
"Don't Kill Your Son's Life" is reflective documentary about the birth of Miner's first son and his first year of having a child. This direct and poignant style follows Miner's other work, as seen at Rooftop, including "Between Me and the Earth," about loss of virginity, making a commitment to one person, loss of faith; and "Every Other Girl In the World," addressing the early days of marriage, regret and past relationships. The film includes hours of footage shot before his son was born, during the actual birth, and throughout his first eleven months, and also incorporates other issues/events, including Miner's own father being diagnosed with bone cancer, a fanatical five-year-old child preacher from Mississippi, Miner's somewhat serious mental breakdown over the past year following his refusal to take anti-depressant medication, and finally Miner's newfound joy/obsession with writing raps set to country music about death and pornography. Represented by Mitchell-Innes + Nash Gallery, Rooftop is proud to support this daring artist's next move in the independent film world.
The 2009 Grantees were:
Ian Cheney | The City Dark
The night filmmaker Ian Cheney moves into his apartment in New York, he pulls his grandfather's old telescope onto a Brooklyn rooftop to survey the night sky. But bathed in its glow of orange streetlights, the City that Never Sleeps only has five stars to see. What begins as a disappointing autumn evening becomes a journey to answer a simple question: do we need the dark? From Mauna Kea to Death Valley to Paris, THE CITY DARK explores the world after dusk, capturing a planet increasingly shrouded in light. Featuring a lively soundtrack, engaging animations and a cast of quirky characters, THE CITY DARK is the definitive new film about light pollution and the disappearing dark. Rooftop Films and Edgeworx are proud to support the new film from the makers of King Corn (screened at Rooftop in 2007).
Benh Zeitlin | Beasts of the Southern Wild
In this mythological epic inspired by the costal erosion crisis in Southern Louisiana, Hushpuppy, a 9-year old Bayou Don Quixote, lives in "The Bathtub," the hardest drinking, fastest sinking island on the planet. Nested in the crumbling swamps of the delta, our ferocious heroine lives with Wink, her beloved yet volatile and hostile father. Reality crashes down on Hushpuppy's world when her father comes down with a mysterious illness, and nature begins to spiral out of control. With spectacle, humor and a blitzkrieg pace BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD takes on the real life tragedy of land-loss on the Louisiana coast through the lens of little girl who is losing not just the place that made her, but the parent who made her as well. Operatic in its scope, bursting with fireworks, humor, and utter mayhem, from the makers of the award-winning (and Rooftop co-funded) Glory at Sea, BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD is an epic tale about the end of it all. www.court13.com
Underwritten by Cinereach
Moon Molson: | Crazy Beats Strong Every Time
The story is about an African-American twenty-something, Markees, who finds his Nigerian-immigrant stepfather passed out drunk in his building hallway one night. Motivated by shame and the restraining order his mother has placed on his stepfather, Markees and his friends drag the unconscious man into his car in order to find him a more suitable place to sleep. But as the night dwindles on, the young men become increasingly aware of the futility of unloading the stepfather. Tensions build and frustrations mount, forcing the situation toward a violent end. Crazy Beats Strong Every Time will show how in a world where being "hard" is the ultimate masculine value, a basically decent young man—if humiliated, taunted and pushed far enough—can do the unimaginable in the name of "saving face."
James M. Johnston: | Knife
Knife is a searing portrait of vengeance. Set in rural Texas, the story chronicles an unnamed man with a broken spirit. He returns to his family from an unknown place—maybe prison, maybe war. In spite of his family's warm welcome, the man can't shake an anger that builds in him, returning to the land that was once theirs, a land that had been in the family for generations, a land that has been stolen, plundered, and sewn with seeds of greed. There's a force at work, a corruption that destroys homes, nature, families, memories. Told entirely in silence, Knife explores the details, textures, physical actions of his ruinous mission to sate the hatred in his heart with the knife he carries in his hand.
Dustin Guy Defa | Family Nightmare
A personal documentary in which Defa will return to his hometown to explore his family's long history of violence, substance abuse, and heartache, including two cases of manslaughter, an attempted suicide, a shooting, a fatal overdose, and a death from alcohol poisoning. Defa says he feels detached from his family, yet concerned with their endless suffering. The recent arrest and conviction of the family's "baby," Defa's uncle Billy, has caused him to take action. The film will approach the interviews and new footage in a verite style, interspersed with old home movies and the filmmaker's voice-over to guide the audience through the past and present. Defa says, "By asking tough questions to family members, discovering things I don't know about them and about Billy, and illuminating some of the reasons we are the way we are, my objective is to lighten the tragic element of our lives, to observe it as a storyline that is still alive and changing."
The 2008 Grantees were:
Sara Zia Ebrahimi | Norman Schwartzkopf Made Me Gay
A personal film that recounts how "Stormin'" Norman Schwartzkopf's life has influenced Ebrahimi's. Norman Schwartzkopf Made Me Gay humorously weaves together personal history with world events in an effort to increase the audience's knowledge about US foreign policy relations with Iran over the past century. The film draws on a variety of events in Ebrahimi's life that parallel or directly intersect with Schwartzkopf's--everything from his childhood memories of Iran where his father was stationed to being arrested by secret service agents for asking him a question. The film will utilize experimental film techniques to add a visually engaging approach to this historical recounting to accompany the unique storyline.
Lee Isaac Chung (director of the acclaimed Munyurangabo, screened at Rooftop on August 23, 2008) received a fully-loaded lighting and grip truck for 30 days for his feature narrative Lucky Life.
Lucky Life, about four friends on a poignant road trip. Mark and Karen are preparing for the birth of their first child, while Jason is coping with his recent diagnosis with terminal cancer. A meditation on life, death and spirituality, Chung says the film, which will begin production in September, was inspired by his trips to Spanish cathedrals, and the revelation of "cinema as a medium for creating spiritual space." The title comes from a book of poetry by Gerald Stern: "Lucky life isn't one long string of horrors / and there are moments of peace, and pleasure, as I lie in between the blows."
Lucky Life will be Chung's second feature film, following on the tremendous success of his debut Munyurangabo, which screened festivals including Berlin, Toronto, and Cannes, where Variety praised the film as "flat-out, the discovery of this year's Un Certain Regard [section]."
Chung screened his short film Sex and Coffee at Rooftop in 2006.
The 2007 Grantees were:
Heidi Brandenburg & Matt Orzel | When Two Worlds Collide
Heidi and Matt are a pair of German and Welsh filmmakers who created "Sonneman," an astonishingly lovely and insightful documentary about a man who pursues his dream of living a life with nature, away from the conventions of Western society, discontent with the trappings of the modern world. For their new film, Heidi and Matt have been traveling through the Peruvian Rainforest, spending time with the indigenous peoples and watching as their lives are changed by the increasing pace of oil and gas mining. "The film will show the relationship between the land and its inhabitants, exposing the disruptions to their traditional way of life and their spiritual connection to the land, due to oil extraction. The film will subtly capture the dangers of destroying the Amazon Rainforest with links to global warming and the world's dependency on oil, expressing the relevance of this situation not only as Peruvian concern, but also as a global problem." www.yachaywasifilms.co.uk
Bill Brown
Utilizing his unique and fascinating first-person experimental documentary style, Bill is making "a landscape film about torture." Bill will be reconstructing the lives of the 7 members of the 372 Military Police Company who were convicted of abusing detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. He will spend time around Cumberland, MD, where these reservists were from, a place that has been transformed from a place that once exported manufactured goods into a place of tremendous economic hardship which now exports soldiers to fight faraway wars. Bill hopes to replace the iconic images of the distant and repellent abused detainees with images that are close-by and recognizable: to trace the line of inquiry from Iraq to the private prisons, fast-food restaurants and big box stores of Cumberland. "I am interested how in a global economy, a small American town is an extension of the global marketplace, and how in a global war on terror, it is an extension of the battlefield. I hope to understand a little better how seven representatives of America's battered working class came to bear the responsibility for the failure of America's foreign policy and moral authority." Bill hails from Lubbock, TX, and Rooftop screened his films "Mountain State" and "Roswell" in 2004 and 2005.
Don Hertzfeldt | I AM SO PROUD OF YOU
Don premiered the first chapter of his triptych "Everything Will Be OK" at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, where the film won the Grand Jury Prize for Short Film. The film follows a stick-figure named Bill as he grapples with depression and madness, and in the new chapter will find Bill struggling with the death of a loved one, the ever-present question of his health, and the apparent unraveling of time. Don has a magically deadpan narrative style, and his elegantly simple drawings, mixed with a dazzling array of direct-animation effects and an ingenious sound design, create an astonishingly moving film. Don lives in Goleta, CA, and is the youngest non-actor ever to be nominated for an Academy Award. Throughout his career he has turned down commercial jobs and lucrative TV deals in order to retain creative control over his animations. www.bitterfilms.com
Melanie Shatzky & Brian M. Cassidy | The Blessing of the Animals (Patron Saints)
Brian and Melanie created the eerie documentary "God Provides," about people in the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina, and Brian co-directed "Fish Kill Flea," a feature-length film about a dying mall in upstate New York. Their work "forgoes conventional storytelling methods in order to accommodate stark imagery, elusive characters and a deadpan realism" in a manner which Filmmaker Magazine described as "cogent and sickly surreal." Their new film will be a "portrait of love, death and devotion, as witnessed on the day of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals." The footage is moving and disturbing, subtly raising questions about both secular and religious faith in a very personal manner. This stand-alone short is also part of a longer piece they are making titled "The Patron Saints," a project about faith and uncertainty. Brian and Melanie work out of Brooklyn, NY, and you can read more about their work at www.pigeonprojects.com
Spencer Parsons | Chainsaw Found Jesus
Spencer's various films—including "Resolution," "Once and Future Asshole," and the upcoming feature "I'll Come Running,"—utilize a kind of hyper-reality which blends unexpected narrative techniques with a dynamic flair for poignant dialogue and insightful characters. This new film is "a melancholy comedy about two fathers, two sons, and the cocaine sale that brings them all together for an everyday adventure." Far from your standard drug movie, the sad but hilarious and bizarre script is about "the moment before making a change, and maybe worrying that change just means trading up one sorry addiction for another." Spencer is one of the co-founders of CinemaTexas, a professor at University of Texas, and, as a crucial member of the vibrant Austin film scene, has been a long-time collaborator with Rooftop Films.

I just returned from our Contingent "Get to know Ya!" Weekend.
During the weekend, we learned which leaders would be going with which in the 14 Troops that will be attending from the Cascade Pacific Council.
Since I have been selected to go as a Scoutmaster, I was extremely interested in who would be the team members that would make up our Troops Adult leadership. I could not have got a better team.
Dave, Rob, Adam, and I will be a terrific team to get the Scouts to DC and tour, Camp at Jambo, and return safely to home to tell of our outstanding adventure.
I honestly could not be happier with the team.
The lesson of the weekend was that no matter what the circumstance, no matter what the situation, problem or obstacle… working as a team we can do anything.
To be a high performance team, which is what it takes to move 36 Scouts and 4 Adult leaders from the West Coast to the East Coast, tour for a week in our Nations Capital and other historical sites, like Gettysburg and Mt. Vernon, Camp at the Jamboree for a week, and then a trip to Busch Gardens and then back home, is a must.
To get there, the team has got to come together and work well. Understanding who you are in the team is the first step. You must know your role as it applies to the team.
To know your role, you need to understand the job. What is expected of you? What is the job description? Do I have the skills and tools to do the job?
Part of this weekends events was to get to know who we were individually.
To do this we took and assessment. Now I won't go into the details of the assessment, but suffice it to saw that after I took it… it was like looking in a mirror. The developer of the assessment read me like Boy's Life.
The point of the tool was to have each leader look at him or herself and how they will complement or hinder the team. It is the Scoutmaster that will have to know the personalities of the leaders with him and how he can best provide PURPOSE, DIRECTION, and MOTIVATION.
Now as luck would have it, Purpose, Direction, and most of all Motivation are not hard to come by when we are talking about National Jamboree. Everyone at the training this weekend not only filled out an application, underwent an interview, was selected and accepted the position, but also is paying lots..and I mean lots of money for this adventure.
The motivation of the trip, showing the boys a part of the Nation that they may not otherwise see, and knowing that they will achieve a mountain top experience for it is all we need.
I will be writing a lot about Jambo. I have a great team, and we are planning for the time of our lives.
If you are on the fence.. get off!!! GO TO JAMBO. The Boy Scouts of America will only turn 100 once. You do not want to miss this opportunity of a life time.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Dear driver of baby poo brown Renault Scenic
View Larger Map
Hint: that's why I was riding in the middle of the lane.
Lucky you got in to the left before going head on into that car coming the other way, eh?
So, please don't do it again, thanks.

There are times in this life when one has to say – as much as one dislikes to – that perhaps it may be wise to not put my life on the line and perhaps others to make a statement of road use.
Without a doubt the lady poo driver should have stayed back, but she did not and you were in the middle of the road. She certainly will not be reading this.
Think about this, if she did not pull over and went head on into the oncoming car, not only are two drivers / passengers probably injured, but you yourself are lying in a pool of blood.
I know Haughton Road Bridge, it is a death trap for cyclists, and as much as you dislike it, push or ride the path if its emty of pedestrains on the R/H side going north until the council build the bridge.
Non of us wish to read in the press "Cyclist killed" even if it wakes the council up and neither do I wish to hear motorists shouting "bloody cyclists".
You obviously use the cycle path going down into the town after the bridge, so use it going up.
May I suggest that a forum is set up for this type of posting where all can shout and scream, or you write in to "Hear All Sides" in the Echo.

Time for DBC to get that bridge built. Finally.

When I go to work, there are too many students walking on the pavement to be able to cheekily ride over the bridge on that, or even to push the bike across, so the road is the only choice.
I ride along Haughton Road from Wickes to the throughabout, where I go onto the bike path over Barton Street and up to the Toucan crossing outside Darlington College.
I used to then cross the road and ride up to the end of the path on the bridge, before waiting for a gap in the traffic to ride over the bridge, and rejoin the bike path on the other side.
What I've found is, if I half cross Haughton Road and then slip in behind the traffic turning left out of Vicarage Road, I can get over the bridge before the traffic on Haughton Road gets a green light and catches up with me.
Today, there were more vehicles than normal turning out of Vicarage Road, so I didn't get to the top in time and the cars caught up with me.
Tomorrow, I'll be even further into the road and I'll be signalling that cars shouldn't try to pass me.
If that doesn't work, I'm pondering a handlebar-mounted crossbow...

We were told by Cllr Lyonette, in February at the cycle forum, that the bridge would be built "next month".
After 5 years of being told "next year" or "next summer", I didn't hold my breath.
At March's cycle forum, at which Cllr Lyonette was not present because it clashed with a full Council meeting, we were told that that information was not correct.
It is also not the Council's fault. Obviously.

There really is no alternative Mike to get to the town centre from Haughton to avoid this dam bridge unless you are prepared to go all the way up McMullen road to follow the recommended cycle path into the town centre. The same can be said of Harrowgate Hill with the narrow bridge past Morrisons.
Let's hope the council do get the bridge built soon to the benefit of all including the students at the new college.
I just look forward to when the Skerne route is completed as then my good lady will cycle with me to the library each Saturday instead of using the bus.
Please ride safe.
- 7:27 pm, March 25, 2010
- miketually said...
I agree, the bridge here, plus the completion of the Skerne path past Magnet will make a huge difference to cycling from the north/east of the town.
Be nice if it were gritted too, of course, otherwise we're back on the roads again through the winter :(
- 8:33 pm, March 25, 2010
I'm sure the Cycling Campaign could apply
for a community grant for a cycle path gritter. Any volunteers to take it out on cold nights?
- 8:51 pm, March 25, 2010
Wev'e a very long way to go before we can look foward to cycle path gritters Anonymous!
Besides, I hate salt, makes a mess of my bike.
I found that most motorists have no idea on how to drive in snow and ice & as gritting is the norm, some consider driving at the same speed is OK. Then they hit non gritted road and chaos ensues.
I drive (occasionaly)a small 4 x 4 and the amount of others using this type of vehicle who don't even know how to place it in 4 wheeled drive is amazing!
There, I've had my moan for the day. I'd better do some work!

Giovanni Antonio Guardi was the last great Rococo artist in Venice. His elegant decorative historical and religious paintings of the 1740s and 50s were famous.
This is one of the many portraits of his patron the collector Field Marshall Count von der Schulenburg. He painted at least 20 such portraits, which the Field Marshall gave away to friends and relatives. Only two survive. This one captures the patrician elegance of the sitter. The light touch of the brush is characteristic of late Rococo painting.

Krush Announces Hiroya for Supernova Tournament; Rena vs Jessica Penne at Shootboxing Act.4
- Written by Dave Walsh
Krush has announced four more competitors for the round of 16 of their Under-22 Supernova tournament. Former K-1 Koshien star HIROYA has been announced as a competitor, joining Koya Urabe and Masaaki Noiri as pre-tournament favorites. HIROYA would have to be viewed as the third most likely to win, as Urabe is second only to Yuta Kubo in Japan and he managed to fight Kubo with only one leg and Noiri beat HIROYA in their only fight two years ago.
The other three fighters announced were
Hiroki Hoshikawa who won a 60kg NJKF Amateur tournament.
Kazuma and Yuta Otaki who I really don't know anything about.
The final 4 competitors will be announced later.
Shootboxing also made a big announcement, making Bellator fighter Jessica Penne the opponent for Shootboxing queen Rena on 9/10. Penne was 7-0 in MMA entering the Bellator Women's tournament, but lost to eventual winner Zoila Frausto (now Zoila Gurgel) in the quarterfinals by decision. She won her last fight over Amy Davis by submission in November. Penne is the second Bellator fighter to compete in Shootboxing along with half of the main event, Toby Imada who made it to the finals of last year's S-Cup. Much like Imada was, Penne will be a huge underdog as Rena demolished Zaza Sor Aree last month and is likely training hard as she has a fight with Erika Kamimura in November.{jcomments on}

In-state green mandates face Constitutional challenges.
Richard Lehfeldt ( firstname.lastname@example.com) is a partner in Dickstein Shapiro LLP's energy practice. Woody N. Peterson ( email@example.com) is a partner in the firm's business litigation practice, and David T. Schur is a research attorney with the firm.
In-state green mandates face Constitutional challenges.
Massachusetts wanted renewable power—lots of it, and sooner rather than later.
So it established cutting-edge energy efficiency standards. It enacted tax incentives for qualifying biofuels and low-carbon fuels. It adopted California's vehicle standards—the most stringent in the nation. It developed, in conjunction with other New England states, a climate change action plan. It joined the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a multi-state emission cap-and-trade program. It established industrial emission targets. It devised an aggressive renewable portfolio standard (RPS) requiring its utilities to use significantly more renewable power to meet load requirements.
So far, so good—these efforts were praised by both the environmental community and the burgeoning alternative energy and energy efficiency industries.
But then Massachusetts enacted the Green Communities Act (GCA) in 2008 to foster the development of new renewable power plants within the Commonwealth. 1 One of the ways the GCA tried to do this, in Section 83, was to require Massachusetts electric distribution companies to enter into long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with renewable power companies located "within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Commonwealth."
This latest Massachusetts initiative didn't trigger kudos, but instead condemnation in the form of a lawsuit by TransCanada Power Marketing Ltd. An established competitive power company with numerous renewable power projects either completed or under development throughout New England, 2 TransCanada filed a lawsuit attacking what TransCanada called Massachusetts' "home-grown" preference in GCA Section 83. 3 TransCanada's prime target was the Commonwealth's 2010 request for proposals (RFP) that only allowed the submission of proposals from projects located in Massachusetts. Trans-Canada says the GCA discriminates against out-of-state renewable generation facilities that are physically and functionally indistinguishable from in-state facilities, in violation of the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, under the so-called Dormant Commerce Clause doctrine. 4
The Massachusetts litigation brings into sharp focus a potential conflict between states seeking to maximize development of in-state renewable power resources and the legitimate objectives of the competitive power industry, which has been responsible for the development and operation of most of the nation's renewable power resources to date. Can these two legitimate but conflicting objectives be harmonized?
Considering the types of incentives currently available to renewable power development, and the Dormant Commerce doctrinal law against that landscape, some answers emerge that might allow states to reduce the tension between these two sets of legitimate objectives—and prevent a Constitutional challenge.
Renewable Power Growth
Development of most electric power resources has slowed in recent years, but not renewable power. That resource, long just a figment of science fiction writers' and idealists' imaginations, today is a welcome reality. In 2009, in the midst of the worst economic climate since the Great Depression, the American wind industry installed nearly 10,000 MW of new generating capacity. 5

Target Germantown had two sets of the Star Destroyer wave today.
After checking several places in the Glen Burnie, Columbia & LAUREL areas...I turned up nada...my last stop was the WalMart at Arundel Mills Mall where I was going to see Hellboy(which I Loved). Lo & behold, a fresh case of 12 of the Star Destroyer wave. Now what's really bizarre about the score is the fact this WalMart hasn't had anything of worth(SW's wise) in over a year. I think the last thing I bought there was 12" Dengar. I only bought one of each for myself(I don't open), so there was still a Dengar, Bossk & Ozzel this am.
Happy hunting!

Did you call or hit Arundel Mills WalMart to see if the other set I left was still there? I don't think that store is frequented much by collectors or scalpers? I called Laurel(nuthin') but I didn't check Ellicott City.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
Also spotted the aforemention S.D. wave at north Glen Burnie WalMart(Chesapeake Ctr.). 2 of each: Bossk, Dengar & Ozzel still there as of 12 Noon today, along with some Yavin wave.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
Even though I ordered silver clones from TRU.com, I went by TRU in Frederick yesterday hoping they had put out new figures in support of the giveaway. They had 4 browncoat Hans that have been there for at least a month and a few Deluxe 3-PO's and Reikaans as well as the bespin guards that have been there for several years. What's the point of having a promotion if you have nothing to promote? I left empty handed and very dissappointed.
Same goes for Hagerstown TRU. However, I really wanted the Silver Clone (They only got in 32 of them & I saw them) and I know they won't be on the pegs ever. So I bought another Hailfire Droid which will be a birthday gift when my son turns 4 next month.
I did see that my Target has CW Anakin Starfighters & Geo Starfighters on CLEARANCE at $13.98 each. I'm hoping they come down under $10 & I'll pick up another Geo fighter. Make sure you check out your local Targets if you need these ships.
Star destroyer wave was at Wal-mart on 26 in Frederick this morning.

Developmental reading disorder is a reading disability that occurs when the brain does not properly recognize and process certain symbols.
It is also called dyslexia.
Developmental reading disorder (DRD), or dyslexia, occurs when there is a problem in areas of the brain that help interpret language. It is not caused by vision problems. The disorder is a specific information processing problem. It does not interfere with one's ability to think or to understand complex ideas. Most people with DRD have normal intelligence. Many have above-average intelligence.
DRD may appear with developmental writing disorder and developmental arithmetic disorder.
The condition often runs in families.
A person with DRD may have trouble rhyming and separating sounds that make up spoken words. These abilities seem to be important in learning to read. A child's early reading skills are based on word recognition. That involves being able to separate out the sounds in words and match them with letters and groups of letters.
Because people with DRD have difficulty connecting the sounds of language to the letters of words. They may have difficulty understanding sentences.
True dyslexia is much broader than simply confusing or transposing letters. For example, mistaking "b" and "d."
In general, symptoms of DRD may include:
It is important for a doctor to rule out other causes of learning disabilities, especially reading disability. Emotional disorders, intellectual disability, brain diseases, and certain cultural and education factors can cause learning disabilities.
Before diagnosing DRD, the health care provider will:
Psychoeducational testing and psychological assessment may be done.
Every person with DRD requires a different strategy. An individual education plan should be created for each child with the condition.
The following may be recommended:
Positive reinforcement is important as many students with learning disabilities have poor self-esteem. Psychological counseling may be helpful.
Specialized help (called remedial instruction) can help a person make big improvements in reading and comprehension.
DRD may lead to:
Call your health care provider if your child appears to be having trouble learning to read.
Learning disorders tend to run in families. It is important to notice and recognize the warning signs. The earlier the disorder is discovered, the better the outcome.

I am amazed at this historic panorama of Bath that was taken by Kilgore. Anyone who is interested in the literary history of Bath must be able to access something of this quality to understand life in this most beautiful of all English Cities. The other panorama, View from Above, taken again by Kilgore from on top of the Bath Abbey is a tribute to the skills of this one person who can readily capture the essence of Bath like no other has. And appreciation to the Gigapan system design where one can easily zoom in and move around to see a city from a historic perspective.

In message from Uzbek jail, journalist hints of abuse
News is rare from Uzbek prisons, where authorities are holding at least four independent reporters in retaliation for critical journalism: Muhammad Bekjanov, Yusuf Ruzimuradov, Dilmurod Saiid, and Salidzhon Abdurakhmanov. All four are serving lengthy sentences. Uzbek authorities refuse even to update CPJ or other human rights organizations on the journalists' whereabouts, status, or well-being.

The February report from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) about the inevitable insolvency of Social Security is discouraging enough without checking the CBO's assumptions. A closer look at the report and those assumptions reveals a Ponzi scheme that is going to crater sooner than expected.
For 2013 the CBO said that beneficiaries will receive $816 billion in benefits while revenues from payroll taxes will be $846 billion, leaving the program with a surplus of $30 billion. By the year 2023, however, the CBO estimates that outgo will exceed $1.4 trillion compared to revenues of $1.3 trillion, a shortfall of about $100 billion.
According to Jed Graham at Investor's Business Daily, that means that the funds backing Social Security (which include Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance trust funds) will go to zero by 2031. He estimates that beneficiaries just now becoming eligible for retirement benefits will suffer huge cuts in their checks by the time they turn 80 — just when most of them will need them the most. And "workers 44 years old [today] face the prospect of retiring after the trust fund is bust."
Chuck Saletta, at The Motley Fool, agrees. He notes that the temporary "surplus" in the funds will peak two years sooner than estimated by the CBO just a year ago and will have $140 billion less in them in 2022 than projected. He says the "collapse date" will be moved back to 2033 or even sooner.
But neither of these picked up the footnote from the original CBO report:
The CBO projects that the DI [Disability Insurance] trust fund will be exhausted during the fiscal year 2016. Under current law the Commissioner of Social Security may not pay benefits in excess of the available balances in a trust fund, borrow money for a trust fund, or transfer money from one trust fund to another.
So what is a good economist to do? They just assume that somehow those DI benefits will be paid from somewhere: "CBO … assumes that the Commissioner will pay DI benefits in full even after the trust fund is exhausted."
The CBO then calculates the additional shortfall that paying those DI benefits will create: another $1.2 trillion. That brings the total "surplus" remaining in the trust funds in 2023 to a little over $1 trillion. That's just enough to pay benefits to everyone for about three more years.

The cozy ambiance in the Beranek Room at Symphony Hall last Friday made the announcement of the Boston Symphony Orchestra's 2007–2008 season seem more like a family chat with BSO music director James Levine. Were the wall sconces and Oriental rugs and overstuffed chairs and sofas (not to mention the pasta, sandwiches, and cookies) aimed at distracting the press from the actual content of the season? Uh, not likely, not with Renée Fleming, Yo-Yo Ma, Thomas Quasthoff, and Leon Fleisher plus Smetana's Má vlast and Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius and Bach's St. Matthew Passion and Berlioz's Les Troyens in the offing. And Levine once again demonstrating that if there were a Grammy for intelligent conversation with the press, he would win every year, as he elaborated on the choice of operas at Tanglewood (Les Troyens could well lead off the 2008 season), explained why the BSO programming seems to be getting more modern ("I would love to do more Bach, but it doesn't make sense in [early-music-rich] Boston"), and talked about the Met broadcasts and the Lorraine Hunt Lieberson/BSO recording of her husband's Neruda Songs.
The season opens with Levine in a Ravel program: Alborada del gracioso, Shéhérazade, with mezzo Susan Graham, the Piano Concerto in G, with Jean-Yves Thibaudet, and Suite No. 2 from Daphnis et Chloé. Other highlights: Robert Spano in Tchaikovsky's Pathétique Symphony (October 18-20); Marek Janowski in Bruckner's Symphony No. 9 (October 25-27 + 30); Levine in the Berg Violin Concerto, with Christian Tetzlaff, and Mahler's Symphony No. 9 (November 8-10; the Mahler alone November 13); Levine in Smetana's Má vlast (November 23-24 + 27); Levine with Renée Fleming in Henri Dutilleux's Le temps l'horloge, a BSO 125-anniversary co-commission (November 29–December 1); Miguel Harth-Bedoya with Yo-Yo Ma in Golijov's Ausencia and Azul (December 6-8); Sir Colin Davis in Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius (January 24-26); Charles Dutoit with James David Christie in Saint-Saëns's Organ Symphony (February 7-9 + 12); Levine in a set of Schubert songs, with Thomas Quasthoff, and the world premiere of William Bolcom's Symphony No. 8, another BSO 125-anniversary commission (February 28–March 1); Julian Kuerti with Leon Fleisher in Beethoven's Emperor Concerto (March 6-8 + 11); Bernard Haitink in Bach's St. Matthew Passion (March 20-22); Levine with Evgeny Kissin in Brahms's Piano Concerto No. 2 (April 8-9) and Piano Concerto No. 1 (April 11-12); Levine in the world premiere of John Harbison's Symphony No. 5 plus Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde, with Anne Sofie von Otter and Johan Botha (April 17-18); and, ending the season, Levine in Berlioz's Les Troyens (Part I: April 22 + 24 + 26; Part II: April 30, May 2). Note also the visit of hot hot young Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel with the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra in Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra and the Symphonic Variations from Bernstein's West Side Story (November 7) and Thomas Quasthoff with Levine as pianist in Schubert's Winterreise (February 24 — don't wait on this one). The full schedule — and, of course, subscription information — is at www.bso.org.
Boston Ballet has also announced its 2007–2008 season. In a Boston Globe interview that appeared last Friday, BB artistic director Mikko Nissinen goes to some lengths to "sell" Boston on Marius Petipa's La Bayadère, as if he weren't aware that Boston knows the ballet from the October 2000 BB production staged by former company artistic director Anna-Marie Holmes. No matter, this too is a most attractive line-up: George Balanchine's Monumentum pro Gesualdo and Movements for Piano and Orchestra on a bill with August Bournonville's La Sylphide (October 18-28); The Nutcracker (November 29–December 29); John Cranko's Romeo and Juliet (February 14-17 + February 28–March 2); a "Next Generation" bill of works, most of them world premieres, by Helen Pickett, Heather Myers, Sabrina Matthews, and BB resident choreographer Jorma Elo (March 6-9); La Bayadère (May 1-11); and Antony Tudor's Dark Elegies on a bill with two works yet to be named (May 15-18).

This is a test of a technique to capture action in low light. I used the Canon G10 to capture the scene at .25-.60 second, ISO 80, accepting the fact that I could not capture peak action.

Bensen was started in 1981 by designer Niels Bendtsen. Along with his staff, Bendtsen designs and oversees production of an extensive line of furnishings. The Bensen philosophy balances simplicity and honesty to produce designs that can continue to grow in today's ever changing world.
Born in Denmark, Niels Bendtsen and his family immigrated to Canada in 1951. In place of a formal design education, Bendtsen trained as an apprentice for his father, who designed and built Scandinavian furniture. Through working with his father, Bendtsen gained valuable skills and a respect for non-industrial, hand-built traditions, but he was also intrigued by new technologies and ways to satisfy increasing demand. Between 1963 and 1972, Bendtsen had his own retail store where he sold his father's furniture, as well as imported Scandinavian designs. He designed small items for the store, but it wasn't until he was in his early thirties that he truly began designing furniture. Dissatisfied with the quality and limited functionality of the furniture he received from his overseas manufacturers, Bendtsen sold his store, moved to Europe and became a full time designer.
In the 1980's, he moved back to Vancouver, bought back his old store and added a manufacturing component. Using the skills he learned working with European factories, Bendtsen successfully found a balance between affordability, aesthetics and quality. Customers responded , and in the mid 1990's Bendtsen began making his designs available through other retailers.
Bendtsen's eye for simplicity and honesty is clearly visible in the sofas he has designed for the renowned Zurich based furniture brand, Linteloo.

Well lets hope that they have worked out those kinks and get better at free agency this year.
It depends on how we perform overall. If the team plays well and the offense & defense is solid then I would be able to tolerate 7-9. 6-10 is most likely my tipping point. Honestly if we play well a Tannehill continues to develop we should get a wildcard spot. Ireland has to get this year right not only for his job but for the future of this organization. Tannehill is the key, he plays well we win.
The bottom line if Ireland fails, the organization fails and takes a step back. As I have stated I am not the biggest fan of his however I am pulling for him and the organization to hit in free agency with some team players and also the draft. I don't know about everyone else but I am tired of us finishing less than or right around the 500 mark. When need something to hi five each other about. I am really pulling for him with the help of Coach Philbin to get the necessary play makers in here so we can get back to prideful Miami Dolphin football.

Awesome Avatar and Sig by Brother DisturbedShifty
the amount of pages of comments on this in 1 day is hilarious
There should be no "for or "against". Ofcourse you dont always have to agree with the personel moves, but honestly there should be support no matter who it is up there. This man was hired by OUR organization. Weather he makes bone headed moves or not, at the end of the day he's still a big part of the Miami Dolphins organization. So me? I'm for whoever it is in that position trying their damned hardest to build a winning NFL franchise.
The superior man blames himself. The inferior man blames others.
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
Vince Lombardi
So who has changed their mind? I still want him gone and let the new gm pick a coach or keep philbin.

"95 Points Wine Spectator "Silky and suave, with violet, lime, mineral and scallion aromas and flavors, this is concentrated and graceful. It's unevolved today, needing a year or so to open up, but will develop well. Fine class and harmony. Best from 2008 through 2025. From Germany.—B.S." According to Claude Kolm in the Fine Wine Review: "And so we come to what Stuart Pigott has justly called the world's greatest white wine estate. Dr. Manfred Prüm is now assisted by his talented daughter Katharina who, like him, is a lawyer. Dr. Manfred Prüm thinks of his 2005s as a combination of 2004 and 2003, more classic than 2003, and richer than 2004. The harvest here was early, beginning on 6 October, and finished rapidly, contrary to the usual practice of waiting and harvesting late for the top wines... The Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese has spiced apple aromas with spiciness in the mouth, lots of minerality, some apple and pear flavors, succulence, and depth." (#113, November 2006)" Best 2008-2025

Great expression of grape and site. A touch lighter, yet more expressive than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr today. Best from 2006 through 2020." According to David Schildknecht of the International Wine Cellar: "It took a few minutes for the fermentative overlay to blow off here, revealing blue and black fruits, citrus, salt and iodine minerality, with a tingling combination of acidity and spritz. Like all of the wines here today, this is notable for its delicacy of touch and satisfying length. 1 star."" Best 2006-2020

Once the rice deal is completed we bike to the bus station to buy our Bangkok tickets for Wednesday night but as we are now late the ticket office is closed until 18:00 tonight. My last visit to Phon Thong now looks unlikely to be today !!
I drop Jai off at a salon to get her hair and nails done and head to the internet for an hour whilst I wait for her
Update my travel blog for probably the last time before we are back in UK.
I go to collect Jai from the salon but find her still getting a pedicure so have to hang around for a while waiting ...
It is 13:00 by the time we get back to Khamnadie and lunch.
It is very hot again this afternoon but I force myself to do a few odd jobs around the house.
After eating this evening we walk to visit Jai's nephew's wife, Boo, and baby Yaya to ask her for a lift to the bus station in Phon Thong on Wednesday night. We are in luck as the family also lend us a motorbike for tomorrow.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, then see how things actually turned out.
The Gate Debate
Man, only brothers can fight like that.
The siblings were helping me try to fill an Iowa tag, and they were both fantastic turkey hunters. However, one was a run-and-gun artist, and the other preferred a patient, passive approach.
That hadn't been an issue earlier in the day. In fact, we'd been surrounded by hard-gobbling longbeards. We just couldn't get one killed. That afternoon, we hit a great-looking area consisting mostly of large ag fields surrounded by mature timber.
The older brother won the strategy discussion, so we planned to walk and call. Not much was answering, though, and we eventually bumped a gobbler that had been coming to our yelping as we stood by a large gate.
"Dang it," the younger brother said. "This is a great place to just sit and call. That's what we should have been doing. Turkeys travel back and forth here all day."
"Yeah, but we have tons of acreage to cover," the older sibling responded. "You never know where you might strike a red-hot turkey. Why wait when you can get tight with one?"
The sun was setting, so our hunt for that day was finished. However, we started to ponder the next morning. We knew the spooked gobbler would like be roosted in the neighborhood, so the debate began anew. Yes, we'd start by the gate, but if nothing gobbled nearby, should we stretch our legs or sit and be patient? I'd have to be the tie-breaking vote.
