Expect showers Wednesday night
Aug 22, 2014; 11:55 PM ET Expect showers Wednesday night
Ancient clams on the shores of Peru have revealed a new history of Earth's most important and unpredictable climate phenomenon. But the implications for the future are murky at best.
The idea of a shark attacking someone in the ocean is scary enough, but this week, a 7-year-old boy was bitten by one of these fearsome fish in a lake.
"If an alien had just one day on Earth and wanted to see a coral reef," says National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Enric Sala, "I would show him Millennium Atoll."
While they may not be as deadly as "Jaws", these 10 beaches hold the record for highest number of shark attacks.
A program that catches and releases potentially aggressive sharks off the coast of Recife, Brazil, has reduced shark attacks on humans by 97 percent, new research finds.
As air and water temperatures increase, some of us may be able to tolerate the changes better than others.
You're dreaming of sun-kissed days on the sand and the sounds of the ocean, but you haven't made your summer vacation plans yet.
Record-high waves hit Alaska's Beaufort Sea in September 2012, when Arctic sea ice shrank to an extreme summer low, a new study reports.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
Welcome to Week 2 in the SEC. Here are this week's games and storylines.
Auburn at Mississippi State; Starkville, MS; Noon EST
Auburn needs a road win over Mississippi State to avert the disturbing and very real possibility of a 1-4 start (after Louisiana-Monroe next week, LSU and Arkansas loom on Sept. 22 and Oct. 6).
Mississippi State is still fuming about close losses the last two years and if Coach Dan Mullen wants to be taken seriously, his team needs to stack wins in September and early October before trips to Tuscaloosa and Baton Rouge and a visit from Arkansas. He has never beaten any of those teams in four years at MSU – and he's a 3-point favorite Saturday.
As we say down South, Auburn just looked …. not right… in the loss to Clemson. The Tigers looked a lot like what they are - a team with two new coordinators, a defense searching for meaning in an uncertain world and an offense whose young quarterback isn't quite zeroed in with the passing thing.
Tre Mason looked pretty good running when Kiehl Frazier wasn't zipping balls over receivers' heads, so there's that.
Auburn could have benefited from a tune-up against Jackson State – that's who Mississippi State obliterated last week, gaining infinity yards in an infinity-to-9 victory.
It was awful. But there's a lot to be said for working the kinks out. This is probably Mullen's best team so far, and his best chance for a win over a good SEC team.
Florida at Texas A&M; College Station, TX; 2:30 p.m. on ESPN
Texas A&M hosts Florida as a member of the SEC in a game that has seen the line move back and forth during the week. This is an interesting match between teams that could wind up being pretty good or going down the drain, depending.
The Gators were unimpressive in last week's ugly 27-14 win over Bowling Green State, which despite its goofy name wasn't a bad team.
The Gators got 148 yards out of runner Mike Gillessee. Quarterback Jeff Driskel, who really looked good at times, threw accurately. But everybody seemed about a step behind the beat all afternoon, the sort of thing that happens in season openers.
Texas A&M, if you recall, was a promising team at the start of last season, but things fell apart and that was that for Coach Mike Sherman. Enter Kevin Sumlin, who lit up Conference USA at Houston, and who looks every bit the part of the hot, young coach who could go the distance. He inherits enough talent to make some noise in his first year at A&M.
The door to glory could swing wide for those bold enough to walk through. If the Gators can manage to welcome the Aggies to the SEC with a good throttling, they could be on their way to who knows what? The SEC East is balanced enough and Georgia is flaky enough that a lot of teams could win it - why not Florida?
Texas A&M could begin the SEC era with an explosive victory and ignite delirium in College Station.
Georgia at Missouri; Columbia, MO; 7:30 p.m. EST ESPN2
The Missouri Tiger fan base is getting all into being members of the SEC. To infuse the community with pep, school officials have printed up commemorative T-shirts saying how Georgia's mascot is "UGA-ly." See, it's a bulldog. And his name is UGA. Get it?
It's kind of sweet - all that school spirit and playful taunting of traditional powers. Wonder how long that will last?
The Tigers got off to a 62-10 start last week, sending Southeast Louisiana back home looking like a windshield after a trip through bug country. Marcus Murphy ran back two long punts, Kendial Lawrence ran for a 76-yard TD and lots of other brutal things happened.
Georgia had its ups and downs against Buffalo last week, and hopefully won't get caught looking ahead to next week's big game with Florida Atlantic. The UGA schedule is a joke. The Bulldogs are known to be a tad schizophrenic – aggressive and opponent-crushing or mild-mannered and prone to upset.
The Dawg defense surrendered 25 points to Buffalo. Missouri is quite better. This one could be pretty good – if bad Georgia shows up; if good Georgia makes the trip,boom.
Games of moderate interest
Vanderbilt vs. Northwestern could be amusing. The Commodores gave South Carolina a hard time last week and but for an egregious no-call on a clear pass interference by a Gamecock defender, the Commodores might be working on an undefeated season going into Week 2. Vanderbilt has the edge in SAT score required for admission.
Kentucky hosts Kent State. Maybe the gods will be kind and allow the Wildcats to stack up a W or two before the mandatory insertion into the SEC meat grinder.
Ole Miss welcomes UTEP to Oxford. JUCO transfer QB Hugh Wallace had a nice game in the season opener against Central Arkansas, which proves absolutely nothing. Is Ole Miss doomed to another horrific campaign or is there a glimmer of hope for the woebegone Rebels? Soon, we will know.
Ritual sacrifices
Alabama vs. Western Kentucky. Perhaps the Hilltoppers will stop Alabama on third down a few times. Maybe they will manage to break a few gains of more than 10 yards, and even score a time or two so Nick Saban can dog cuss his team and drive them mercilessly, telling them they are worthless and weak right up until kickoff of the Arkansas game.
LSU plays Washington. Both teams wear purple. You don't see that often. Might be an interesting game for a quarter or two.
South Carolina hosts East Carolina. USC won't have to pay a guarantee to some out-of-state cupcake. All revenues from this game remain in the state of South Carolina, so maybe they can fix the broken plumbing in that rest stop on I-85 right over the Georgia line just west of Anderson.
Arkansas plays Louisiana Monroe, which is the younger sister of Marilyn Monroe. Kidding.
Tennessee plays Georgia State. Bill Curry, who used to coach at Alabama, coaches Georgia State. Tennessee hates Alabama. Sorry, that's all I've got.

Tejada, the Orioles' lone All-Star representative, will join teammate Rafael Palmeiro, Texas' Hank Blalock and Boston's David Ortiz in the home run hitting contest against the National League standouts tonight at 8 p.m. ET.
Giambi could not participate because of a lingering sickness and Tejada accepted the invite on Monday morning. Tejada is known around the league as a run producer who can hit homers in bunches. He is hitting .311 for the Orioles with 15 homers and 75 RBIs.
He is tied for 15th in the AL in home runs but Tejada has undeniable power. He has hit 122 home runs the past four seasons and socked 34 in 2002, the year he won the American League MVP award.
This is Tejada's second All-Star Game and he finished fourth amongst AL shortstops in voting behind the Yankees' Derek Jeter, Boston's Nomar Garciaparra and Texas' Michael Young. He is second among AL shortstops in home runs to Chicago's Jose Valentin and first in RBIs.
Tejada hit 19 homers in the second half of 2002, the year he hit a career high of 34. He is on pace to hit 30 this season.
This will be Tejada's first Home Run Derby and will give the Orioles two participants for the first time since 1985 when Eddie Murray and Cal Ripken participated. Palmeiro, who has 13 home runs, was invited as one of the active members of the 500 Home Run Club.

Hagel, Obama's pick for Pentagon, criticized by GOP senators but seems headed for confirmation
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican senators hammered former GOP Sen. Chuck Hagel at his confirmation hearing Thursday on issues ranging from Israel and Iran to his support for a group that advocates the elimination of nuclear weapons. But with most Democrats in his corner, an unflustered Hagel seems headed for approval as defense secretary.
Hagel, a former two-term senator from Nebraska, described his views as mainstream and closely aligned with those of President Barack Obama, the Democrat who nominated him. But several GOP members of the Armed Services Committee sought to portray him as radical and unsteady. Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., called his ideas "extreme" and "far to the left" of Obama.
Hagel said he believes America "must engage -- not retreat -- in the world," and insisted that his record is consistent on that point.
He pointed to Iran and its nuclear ambitions as an example of an urgent national security threat that should be addressed first by attempting to establish dialogue with Iranian rulers, although he said he would not rule out using military force.
"I think we're always on higher ground in every way -- international law, domestic law, people of the world, people of the region to be with us on this -- if we have ... gone through every possibility to resolve this in a responsible, peaceful way, rather than going to war," he said.
14 dead, at least 100 injured in explosion at headquarters of Mexico's Pemex; dozens trapped
MEXICO CITY (AP) -- An explosion at the office headquarters of Mexico's state-owned oil company in the capital killed 14 people and injured 100 on Thursday as it heavily damaged three floors of a building, sending hundreds into the streets and a large plume of smoke over the skyline.
Another 30 people were reported trapped in the debris late Thursday, as soldiers with rescue dogs, trucks with mounted lights and a Pemex crane were brought in to extract victims. The Interior Ministry said it was uncertain of the exact number of people trapped because many were outside having lunch when the explosion occurred about 3:45 p.m. local time in a basement parking garage next to the iconic, 51-story tower of Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, one of the tallest buildings in Mexico City.
"It was an explosion, a shock, the lights went out and suddenly there was a lot of debris," employee Cristian Obele told Milenio television, adding that he had been injured in the leg. "Co-workers helped us get out of the building."
President Enrique Pena Nieto said authorities have not yet found out what caused the blast in the 14-story building in a busy commercial and residential area. Pemex first said it had evacuated the building because of a problem with the electrical system. The company later tweeted that the Attorney General's Office was investigating the explosion and any reports of a cause were speculation.
Ana Vargas Palacio was distraught as she searched for her missing husband, Daniel Garcia Garcia, 36, who works in the building where the explosion occurred. She said she last talked to him a couple hours earlier.

Negotiators talking through ventilation pipe to Ala. captor in bunker; standoff enters 3rd day
MIDLAND CITY, Ala. (AP) -- Speaking into a 4-inch-wide ventilation pipe, hostage negotiators tried Thursday to talk a man into releasing a kindergartener and ending a standoff in an underground bunker that stretched into its third day.
The man identified by multiple neighbors and witnesses as 65-year-old retired truck driver Jimmy Lee Dykes was accused of pulling the boy from a school bus on Tuesday and killing the driver. The pair was holed up in a small room on his property that authorities compared to tornado shelters common in the area.
James Arrington, police chief of the neighboring town of Pinckard, said the shelter was about 4 feet underground, with about 6-by-8 feet of floor space and a PVC pipe that negotiators were speaking through.
There were signs that the standoff could continue for some time: A state legislator said the shelter has electricity, food and TV. The police chief said the captor has been sleeping and told negotiators that he has spent long periods in the shelter before.
"He will have to give up sooner or later because (authorities) are not leaving," Arrington said. "It's pretty small, but he's been known to stay in there eight days."
SUPER BOWL WATCH: Beyonce belts, avocados aplenty, Ravens practice moved
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Around Super Bowl XLVII and its host city with journalists from The Associated Press bringing the flavor and details of everything surrounding the game:
Donald Driver didn't waste much time finding a new job.
The Green Bay Packers all-time leading receiver announced his retirement Thursday morning, then helped kids from Junior Achievement sell lemonade at a pop-up stand in the Super Bowl media center.
Marine leader says infantry skeptical about women in combat; some positions may be closed
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- The head of the Marine Corps -- the most male of all military branches -- said Thursday the infantry side is skeptical about how women will perform in those units, and some combat positions may end up being closed again if not enough females meet the rigorous, physically demanding standards.
Gen. James Amos made the remarks to reporters at a defense conference in San Diego hosted by the U.S. Naval Institute and the defense trade group AFCEA.
Amos says most Marines support the Defense Department's lifting of the ban last week, which opened thousands of positions to women.
He pointed out that over the past decade, many male service members already have been fighting alongside women in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Women who serve in supply troops, as clerks and with military police have ended up on the unmarked front lines of modern warfare, blurring the distinction between combat and noncombat jobs. More than 150 women have been killed in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan while serving in support roles.
Clinton says she did what she could about Syria, warns of bigger Iranian role and larger war
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton issued a parting warning Thursday about Syria's civil war, accusing Iran of playing an increasingly prominent role in directing the violence, which she said heightened the danger of a larger regional conflict that draws in Israel or other neighbors.
"I've done what was possible to do," Clinton told reporters on the eve of her last day as secretary of state.
But she painted a harrowing picture of a war that could still get worse.
"The worst kind of predictions about what could happen internally and spilling over the borders of Syria are certainly within the realm of the possible now," she said.
The conflict "is distressing on all fronts," Clinton told a roundtable of journalists Thursday, a day before John Kerry is sworn in as her successor. She pointed the finger primarily at Iran, accusing it of dispatching more personnel and better military materiel to President Bashar Assad's regime to help him defeat rebel forces. Its Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah, is also playing a bigger role in the conflict.
Vigilantes in southern Mexico announce 'charges' against 53 prisoners
MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Vigilantes who have taken up arms against drug cartel violence and common crime in southern Mexico announced Thursday they will bring charges ranging from organized crime to kidnapping and extortion against 50 men and three women who they have been holding prisoner at improvised jails.
Villagers armed with hunting rifles, old pistols and small-bore shotguns set up armed patrols and roadblocks in the township of Ayutla almost one month ago to defend their communities against crime, saying authorities have failed to bring peace and safety to the Pacific coast state of Guerrero. So far, the state government has tolerated but not formally recognized the self-defense squads.
The growing movement toward self-policing, which has since spread to other towns in Guerrero, has sparked concern among human rights officials who say residents shouldn't be allowed to take the law into their own hands.
"What is happening in Guerrero state is a warning sign that should alert authorities to do their duty and guarantee public safety, to avoid having these (vigilante) activities grow and outstrip the power of official institutions," said the head of the National Human Rights Commission, Raul Plascencia. But in townships like Ayutla, it is clear the vigilante movement already has authorities cowed.
Villagers in squads of about a dozen patrol roads and search passing motorists, checking their identification against handwritten lists of "bad guys."
'30 Rock' ends a 7-season marathon of spoofing modern life and the world of TV
NEW YORK (AP) -- You wanted resolution on the "30 Rock" finale?
You got it. Sort of. At least, the sort befitting "30 Rock," with its loopy storytelling mixed with joy in spoofing the culture of TV.
Closure, if that's what it is, came in a two-minute postscript on this hour episode Thursday on NBC. Which, among other things, included this sly touch: a reference to the snowglobe revelation with which the medical drama "St. Elsewhere" famously concluded a quarter-century ago.
But there was more. Just before the final fade-out, NBC President Kenneth the former Page (Jack McBrayer) was pitched a new comedy series taking place right there at network headquarters, 30 Rock.
Hmmm. This was no ending. It was a Mobius strip.
Waiting for next Jackie: Super Bowl comments show hazards of gay player coming out in NFL
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Brendon Ayanbadejo has heard from many players who applaud his support of gay marriage -- some of them teammates, others from the opposing side of the line.
Then, just days before the biggest game of the year, he received a striking reminder of the macho attitudes that still prevail in the NFL.
San Francisco cornerback Chris Culliver said he wouldn't welcome a gay player on his team. Even though he quickly backtracked, the comments underscored what Ayanbadejo already believed:
The league is still a long way from embracing its first openly gay player.
"It's going to take a very courageous person to come out," said Ayanbadejo, a backup linebacker and special teams ace for the Baltimore Ravens.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (5/16/13) – Each year during WKU's May term, Dr. Josh Durkee assembles a group of eight students for his Field Methods in Weather Analysis and Forecasting course and together, they forecast, analyze, document and study severe convective storms across the Great Plains.
The course, which won the "Creativity and Innovation Award" from the North American Association for Summer Programs in its inaugural year in 2010, runs for four weeks, including two spent traveling across the Plains tracking severe storms. During the previous three years, the groups have collectively traveled nearly 25,000 miles and documented 25 tornadoes, numerous damaging hail and wind events, dangerous lightning, and multiple floods. This year's trip will begin Friday (May 17).
"My goal when I created this course was to provide a capstone, hands-on learning experience, never to be forgotten," Dr. Durkee said. "In any facet of learning, when 'real world' scenarios force you to make critically important decisions, your learning retention is going to greatly improve. The design of this course is based on this principle and consequently, the students come back from the trip with a deeper knowledge base and greater appreciation of our atmosphere."
Students participating in the 2013 course are: Ryan Difani of Pocahontas, Ark.; Will Paschall of Germantown, Tenn.; Tyler Smith of Russellville; Colton Lindsey of Mount Vernon, Ind.; Andrew Schuler of Independence; Tara Wagoner of Lafayette, Tenn.; Ilea Schneider of Lewisport; and Veronica Hall of Livonia, Mich.

Two supremely interesting video clips reflecting on the current shift from an industrial growth society to a life-sustaining civilization.
Joanna Macy is a philosopher of ecology, a Buddhist scholar, and an exquisite translator of the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke. We take that poetry as a lens on her wisdom on spiritual life and its relevance for the political and ecological dramas of our time.

Here, Ms. Macy tells a story of how she came to translate this poem after a famous Rilke translator took a pass. And she reads her translation for us.
In her book A Year with Rilke, Joanna Macy chose one poem by Rilke for each day of the year. We interviewed her on July 13th, for which this poem "about death and how not to be afraid of death" was selected. A marvelous reading with a humorous anecdote about her deceased husband at the end.

For Ms. Joanna Macy, this poem exemplifies a way she could continue on a spiritual path while having misgivings about the Church fathers and arcane theological arguments.
While mourning the death of her husband, Joanna Macy felt like she was "dipped in beauty" while translating A Year with Rilke. Here's a passage from a letter the poet wrote to Countess Margot Sizzo-Noris-Crouty in 1924 in which she took comfort in her own grief and loss.
In their conversation, Krista recites a line by Rilke in which she says she found resolve while creating this radio program. Ms. Macy reads this popular piece, which she says has become "theme song of the deep ecology movement."
From his last "Sonnet to Orpheus," Joanna Macy tells us that Rilke has chosen to be with the darkness rather than hide from it. And she shares how she finds resonance with our relationship to our planet.
In this poem Rilke is using images from the natural world, Ms. Macy says, to convey that mystery, beauty, and relationship in the sacred. Listen to her recitation and deeper explanation of this lyrical piece.
Rilke in many of his early poems is "consoling God" says Joanna Macy. And, for her, this poem tells her that "it's okay not to be optimistic or full of hope," but that the main thing is to show up and be present.

"Where do you find hope and inspiration when confronting your own or this planet's mortality?*
Confronted by such an immense question, humbled and stupefied by its immensity, I really only feel fit to walk into the kitchen, set coffee, take a moment to give heart spirit thought quiet free reign.
Adrift in thoughts. Swelling in waves. Each wave resonates. The waves play upon each other, continue and continue. Not simply growing, but moving in every direction, form, related, unrelated, above, below, deeper taller higher, swirling, waves interwoven logically, waves in counterpoint, waves without clear relationships. Ballet of waves, small symphony of waves.
And by now, coffee, ready, delicious, pulling me back to shore.
Mortality. Grandparents die, parents die, childhood friends die, school friends die, media seek easy profit by titillating us with shocking news of celebrity deaths. Tragic dramatic deaths. Anonymous innocents buried in rubble and numbers. Outside our kitchen window, Elm tree leaves turn from lush end-summer greens to autumn yellows. A man gets a jumpstart for his car's dead battery. The news is not good. More die.
Take my father: worked hard, got cancer, died young, I spent six years wondering, "What was the sense of that?..." I kept a Death Journal, filled it with obituary clippings, glimpses of peoples' lives and ends, to try to reconcile myself to death.
To paraphrase Joanna Macy, "Embrace what you know is real and it will set you free to experience in full."
I'm grateful I had the time, means and opportunity to dwell on death: I feel it liberated me.
Over time I came to a vastly fuller and gratifying sense of wonder at the diversity of lives well-lived, and how death is present in every moment. Because I saw death as ubiquitous, impossible to avoid, I stopped fearing or avoiding it. I no longer saw death as some deviant punctuating the smooth Status Quo fabric of life, nor as a remote abstract icon causing panic, fear, confusion, adrenaline. But rather Death as full and profoundly-present partner and friend in Life's Journey.
I know: hard to swallow. Western clichés are so life-biased; Western clichés view death as a morbid obsession. There's strong Western taboe against dwelling on death. Or being positive about death. Openness to death isolates.
A self-perpetuating spiral escalates to isolate us.
In the West, death is the Elephant in the Living Room.
The cards are stacked against that changing. Start with practicalities: time. Most people find it hard to find sufficient time to live. Who has time to confront death, let alone to befriend death? We tend to believe we'll have plenty of time for death when we're dead. For better or worse, we turn a blind eye to death, push death away at the expense of trying to live. It's the Western Way.
Our pragmatic, urbanized, shiny conditionally-reinforced mediatized blindness to our connection with the living glory of the universe turns "living mortality" into a stranger. We simplify death as one-dimensional Darth Vader: dark, threatening, faceless, no past, no future, just go away and leave us alone. Strangeness intensifies xenophobia. So we invest in taller stronger antiseptic electric fences to hold the stranger at bay.
Not every life adheres to blindness. My mother loved to garden. Her energy, life, breath, fruits of her labors all flowed from her body into the earth, bringing the bounties of life to loved ones to share her tables, perfumed blossoms, passion for colors, passage of seasons. We recycled and composted endlessly, giving countless generations and rebirth of life from death to life.
After a long life beautifully lived, her body as great-grandmother confided to that same earth, in which she worked and was part of countless cycles of life death rebirth life.
Given her place in that interwoven web of constantly dynamic being, it is impossible for me to not witness her on-going full presence in everything at every moment in all the profound pulsating energy and glory of the sun earth universe. She is here and alive, make no mistake of that. Not as trite physical body, but beautifully incarnate and expansively reflected in the universe that she loved, absorbed, moved in, lived to her fullest, and all which carry on amazingly. As I write I hear wind in the trees, swaying full with her presence.
I love this gorgeous rich sense of being part of the tapestry of this earth, profound joy and gratefulness in this gift of mortality and life interwoven.
O Me! O Life!
By Walt Whitman
Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill'd with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew'd,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
That you are here—that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

Up until July 21, 2008 I seemed to have gotten an abundance of my inspiration from my companion and love Michael. On that day he made his transition into the life process of death rather suddenly leaving me with all of the trappings of this life we had built together which included at 14 year old son who was beginning high school and a 24 year old daughter 2 weeks away from marriage.
In our 22 years together I had the grace of his adoration for me to inspire me and give me hope. In the two years since his leaving this physical plane, I have been able to get in touch with that energy he held out to me in every moment of every day. Without the words he visioned for me the Divine within myself. He adored that Divinity and called it to me in his love even in those times I could not feel it in myself.
I am inspired by his work with me in our years to be a beacon of grace to others in my life and to be a witness in adoration to the Divine within them.
Being that we live in an impermanent and divine world, our relationship to our planet makes our task one of great importance. I lean into the grief I feel with the events our humanity has created that has brought pain to our nature (both our planet's and our own's)! In my willingness to feel the many facets of the grief, I hope to bring about the Divine into healing our world.
Michael helped me in that contract that is mine now. My children and their travels through their lives give me practice. My community and my world reflect my efforts......
Today is
the morning after
Yom Kippur.
I find it hard to
put food in my mouth.
I woke with
a subtle headache,
undoubtedly from
going without
coffee for 48 hours,
and though I've
made myself a cup,
I don't really want
to drink it.
I want to go outside
and drink in
the wide silence,
to be with
the earth.
On the radio
Joanna Macy is
reading Rilke to me,
reminding me
to remember
the beauty
of this world…
"World is lover,
world is self;
it's okay for our
hearts to be broken
over the world…"
For this
I've needed
for I am just
a foolish woman
over the world…
I made a special point of listening to the recent Being program in which Joanna Macy elucidates the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke. I was unfamiliar with Joanna Macy and, until the title of one of her Rilke translations was mentioned did I connect her with The Book of Hours, a volume I have long had on my poetry shelves.
Rilke has always been a poet I turn to in times of grief, and when my husband died suddenly this past February, the Duino Elegies once again topped the stack of books on my nightstand. I made copies of a Rilke poem that has always been special to both of us to give out at his funeral. It is from The Sonnets of Orpheus—"Be ahead of all parting, as though it already were/ behind you, like the winter that has just gone by…."
My husband underwent many successful transformations in his 66 years—athlete (college swim team, bicyclist, Taekwando black belt, rollerblader), US Naval officer, scientist (he held a Ph.D. in Biology), farrier (after grad school he rebelled against animal research and attended the Oklahoma Farriers' College), financial analyst (earned his Certified Financial Analyst designation), and, in the last year of his life, a devout Catholic—but through all of it, he was primarily a seeker. Although he was not a serious reader of poetry and never understood my own poems, something in Rilke's work touched him deeply. The lines he quoted often were from Dove that ventured outside: "Ah the ball that we dared, that we hurled into infinite space,/ doesn't it fill our hands differently with its return:/ heavier by the weight of where it has been."
He seemed, in his intense living, determined to be heavier at his end by the weight of where he had been despite his genetically flawed heart. After forty years in a partnership, the sudden loss of that partner has shattered my way of being, but I have found comfort in many wonderful ways: solitude (I often walk to our beautiful garden cemetery downtown and sit among the graves of Emily Dickinson's cousins), art (drawing, folding origami cranes), film (esp the films of Ingmar Bergman), and Tai Chi (learning the 108 moves and now doing the complete set several times a week has calmed my anxiety). But highest on my list of resources are nature and literature: Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking helped me understand the emotional/physical reality of sudden loss (she, too, had been married 40 years and her husband also died of ventricular fibrillation); Peter Matthiessen's The Snow Leopard reinforced the power and miracle of nature in grief (his wife had just died of cancer when he undertook this journey into the Himalayans); and Rilke has taught me how to go down into the dark cave of grief and mine it for self-understanding:
It's possible I am pushing through solid rock
in flintlike layers, as the ore lies, alone;
I am such a long way in I see no way through,
and no space: everything is close to my face,
and everything close to my face is stone.
I don't have much knowledge yet in grief
so this massive darkness makes me small.
You be the master: make yourself fierce, break in:
then your great transforming will happen to me,
and my great grief cry will happen to you.
Rainer Maria Rilke
(Translated by Robert Bly)
There is the best kind of hope in that. Thank you for Being. --Judy Loest
Dear Krista, Thank you for all your work, and especially the program tonight with Joanna Macy's readings of Rilke . Her translations made vivid our connection to a larger world and psyche, so helpful at a moment when I am particularly aware of personal worry and pain. Let me share with you a couple of my recent paintings, where I have tried to follow the poet's charge 'to flow' and 'to be', in my own way. (downloaded here). Thank you again for your beautiful efforts to enlighten us. Sincerely, Jamie Rauchman
Wow! Wow! Wow! (Not Bow-wow-wow)That woman is , as they might have said in Britain in the 90"s, f'n brilliant! What an inspiration ! 81 years ! (Sorry, I never use exclamations but how can you NOT in regards to your guest to-day?) I'm in tears still. There ARE some great souls left. I'd given up.
Thank you so much for launching On Being with Joanna Macy speaking about her profound and fierce love for our planet home. What a fitting baptism for the new program.! To listen to Joanna and Krista conversing was both very enlivening and comforting.
In my long search to understand the "mobius strip" of deep grief and love I experience for our planet, I have turned to Joanna and her teachings again and again over the years. I was fortunate to have a monthlong training on the Oregon coast with Joanna and her husband, Fran, three years ago.
I'm a mindfulness teacher and offer classes and workshops based on the tremendous forms Joanna has developed for aiding people to touch their deep love for the world and let that love inform their lifestyle choices. www.mindfulnessforchangingtimes.

Hello - I listened to the "a wild love for the world" program on the way home to VA from St. Louis where I had been working on a project titled "Transcend2010". This temporary community public art project is a version of others I have been doing, and am scheduled to do in other communities. They all are based or mutual trust. The fact that they are well received and understood gives me immense hope. Because the projects are temporary I was especially moved by the quote from Rilke - "Is not impermanence the fragrance of our days".
The links below will give you the general idea of these projects that involve borrowing 100's of ladders from a community, building a metaphorical sculptural representation of their interconnected hopes and dreams - and then returning all the ladders to their owners in the community.
I am amazed that we can make these projects work in today's seemingly selfish world that often seems not to even care about itself. I am inspired by the people that lend me (a stranger in their community) a ladder to make a sculpture about the way their own hopes are tied to those of the whole community.
Thanks for "Speaking of Faith" & "Being" - they give me hope too!
Yours truly, Charlie

Transcend2010 IN THE NEWS:
I find hope, actually hope I do at least, in the fact that the world is the important thing. This world will outlast us most likely. We are a small piece of the world and much too self-important. I find hope that I will die and, without a doubt, be reborn as parts of this beautiful world. We will do damage to ourselves as humans, but I honestly believe that we cannot do long-term (longer than our limited perspective as beings who hang around for 80 or so years) damage to this wonderful creation that is our world.
The Speaking Of Faith episode centering around an eighty-one year old Joanna Macy was a wonderful journey. Her life history alone was fascinating but the real connection I felt was the manner in which her religious beliefs formed over the years of her life. Like myself Joanna became troubled with the dogma associated with religious practices and beliefs and soon after chose to no longer believe or be involved. Until a time in her life when she came across the poetry of Rilke, who's spirituality based poems are written from the viewpoint of the larger picture of us being one with nature. In the inspiration from his poetry she found that she was able to find a connection with God in how the nature of him relates to our physical world.
I especially enjoyed the time in which she began reflecting at her own hands saying that these hands are not just hers alone. They are the hands that symbolize all of those before and after us. The same hands that learned to crawl, build, walk and weave. In addition to this I also enjoyed when she reflects on the passing of her husband and what may happen to us when we pass. She sees it as a comfort that maybe our bodies at the end of our lives may just become one with the Earth and that being enough. That we are completing a sort of circle of life in doing this, giving back to the Earth that sustained our life. And that we should focus on the life we are living now, to appreciate and make the most of what we can while we can and to "live in the moment". What a beautiful thought!
Joanna discovered herself throughout her life, found passions, fought for those passions and lived to better our world and others. She truly is an inspiration to others.

Joanna Macy interview.
In Dec of 2009, while simultaneously searching for meaning in my work and life, I stumbled upon Joanna Macy's translations of Rilke's poetry. Since that discovery I have spent a year with Rilke, reading and painting his poetic interpretations of spirituality and infusing my life and life work with his words. Thank you, Krista, for this interview and for making the connection for me between Rilke's words and Joanna's translations of his words. As Joanna said about finding that first Book of Hours in a German Bookshop, that the furniture had been rearranged in her head, I now feel Joanna voice and spirit with me as I sit and reflect on Rilke's poetry. With this voice comes her wisdom, her connection and passions for our world, and her sense of presentness. Thank you for widening my circle.

This show interviewed a woman named JoAnna Macey that was once a Christian but converted to Buddhism, and became an activist and philosopher. She talked about how she became an environmental activist, too, and how the decisions we make today are going to affect future generations from now, and how they will affect sound and body. We should feel grief and despair for things like clear cutting our forests and contaminating our waters. We are not supposed to run from the feelings of outrage or fear towards our environment, but to look at this, be with it, keep breathing, and it will then turn to reveal the other face of the world; our love for the world and our connectedness with all life. If we love our world, we should be able to face it. We should be able to look at the Gulf oil spill and the scum it left, and how it destroyed life in the ocean. If our mother or child has cancer, we shouldn't avoid looking at them, but instead love them until we can't love anymore. Joanna also talked about how Rilke poetry nourishes her vision that we are in a time where we are in an industrial world but need to focus on how to live in a world of sustainability. One of the poems talked about how God became the Earth and how God talked about the darkness, and how He wanted one more hour to love everything on Earth. We need to love our world because it won't be healed without love, and this is the theory that keeps JoAnna going. Her ultimate goal is for us to achieve a life sustaining society; energy, food, new ways of measuring prosperity and wealth, new ways to communicate in non-violent ways, etc. How we choose to invest our energy in our hearts and mind will pave the path to how we choose to invest our energy in the world. Our Earth is not our supply house for resources and it isn't a sewer, either, but our Earth is love.
Rilke's words have helped me get through numerous tough times in my life, including the death of my father. Many days after the event were spent buried in Stephen Mitchell's book "Selected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke", in particular his translation of "Requiem For a Friend". I wrote the following poem for my father not long after reading it for the first time. It's definitely influenced by what I read, along with a conversation had between Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell about Indra's net of gems. It's been many years since he died now, but sometimes it still feels as though it happened just yesterday.
After the Fall
The snow is falling father,
Outside your cold window,
It's a frigid and bitter weather,
Icy and white below,
Can you feel us father,
We're all here,
Your three sons; and mother,
All struggling with our fear,
You fell so fast,
One moment alert at the top of the stair,
The next curled at the foot aghast,
Broken and bleeding and scared,
Oh how I wish I'd returned that call,
Your message recorded without a reply,
And I've so many things I'd tell you now,
Now that you're about to die,
It's been so long since we really talked,
About home and the coulee and your trips with Marly,
The back roads you walked,
The ginseng gardens, or the Amish in the valley.
But that's not the stuff I'd speak of in the end,
Not stuff of the day or the hour,
But of things left unsaid that of the heart rend,
That I'd have you understand forever.
You grew old locked in a fence,
With one self beating another,
How could you know that it would take you so low, and break you of all confidence,
If I had my choice, if I could hear your dear voice, of this I'd now speak of together.
I know how it troubled you so
That bent and shamed you lost your health and employment,
But I'm older now with my own sorrow,
And know something of self made confinement.
Yes we three sons have done quite well,
At ease in worlds you never were, of books and complex computations,
But life is long, and time moves on, and rips us with revelation.
I've had my share, of divorce and decay, of grief and despair, of bitter self recrimination,
And of this I'm now sure, in the face of much pain,
Life is a game of eternal internal integrations.
You need not think that I loved you less, for those things you never achieved,
Or the boyhood wishes I once had of you, but in the end never received,
Conditional love has become a confusing thing, a thing from which divisiveness springs,
Take from me the unconditional sort, and the hope for what healing it may bring.
Mother has told me of the yawning ache in you,
Over long lost days, when tired and tried, you found so little time for play,
But I have done the same father, and feel that yawning ache too,
For long lost days, and the time I withheld, from a dear wife now far away,
Our suffering should count for something shouldn't it? Something other than rue.
Mistakes are mistakes. I'd ask you to let them lay.
Strange to see you like this after that long agonizing ride,
Unconscious. Quiet.
Your heart unraveling inside.
I couldn't drive for all the sobbing and the need to lose myself in the night.
Thinking of death and the grave.
Not morbid thoughts, but thoughts to challenge my days.
And questions.
For instance: where will you be after you're gone?
I once thought "nowhere" in the strictest sense of the word.
But now I'm no longer so sure.
I've walked in old grief an open question, from dusk to midnight to dawn.
Thinking muddy thoughts, big picture involutions,
Spending evenings in books, in silent conversations, with scientists, poets, and philosophers,
I know you've wondered at it all.
But I have found something father,
Something strange and troubling, and often fearful, I've discovered the god inside,
The only word I can find to describe it though certain to strain belief.
The "is" made manifest in the whirl of an I,
Without expectation, as I found it tonight, lost in the black outside.
A sense of presence, Of expansion about the sky.
It's an old old story isn't it?
I no longer know what you believe.
I'd ask you if I could.
But if I'm right, there's no need.
There's no me, no you, but only a single I,
Caught in a net of gems.
Good-bye father.
I see that your body has died.
It's simple, really. I find both in the simple first hand experience in the natural world of the senses, and in the thoughts and dreams that grow from that. After years I'm beginning to see that there are faces everywhere looking back. And a poem came to me:
- for Rob
All things show their faces when we do.
All things speak when we do.
All things appear when we do.
The first face, the first word,
they blossom into all the others.
They all are true.
A river runs by my house, and I'm beginning to sense it there too.
Very moved by Joanna Macy's sharing, only heard today (03/20/11) on my local NPR affiliate in western NC.
Everywhere: In honor of Joanna Macy
everywhere I see beauty
the first slippery silver kiss of love
the resonance of old friendships
the gleam of snow against the sunrise
how the winter finally gives itself to spring
and the intimate abundance of the earth itself
and everywhere I see ugliness
the brutality of war
the unbending shadow of regret and shame
the willingness to kill for money and pretension
the indignities we suffer at the hands and words
of one another
and the deep, lonely cut of death's loss
but herein lies the magic, if any can be found
to recognize
that what touches me here
and what touches you there
affects the very ground beneath our feet
flows into the water that wraps this planet
and drifts above the farthest flung stars
out and beyond
around and inside
each one of us
and it is the daily ebb and flow of this life
the push and pull of it
that draws us ever nearer
into the bittersweet embracing of the world
and in that holding—that embrace
the image of this planet—this earth—this love
becomes firmly fixed across our hearts
like a postage stamp of pure adoration
bearing our intentions and resolve
beyond where we can see today
a love letter
carried far into the tomorrows of this universe
long after we are gone
i touch the world
and it touches me
and there is no difference if it is here or there—
it is everywhere
Gaye F. Colvin
I want to say (belatedly after years of listening to your show) that you and your guests have nourished my head and heart in such wonderful ways. You have shared with me stories and music and ideas of wondrous breadth that I would never have found on my own. Given me a "jumping off place" for further exploration.
I usually find myself alone in the kitchen cooking on Sunday mornings while my husband goes to church. I used to feel rather guilty about that. But I find myself regularly excited to share what I've heard that morning with him when he comes home.
My Sundays alone in the kitchen with men and women from around the world were central to finding a calm centeredness - and also at times a sorrow and tears - both essential to balance I suppose. For myself I would not trade my cookie making with Joanna Macy and yourself this morning for anything. Would that I could give you both a warm oatmeal cookie!
I lost my son three years ago and my grief has been my constant, delilitating companion. When Joanna shared the image of the swan settling into the receptive waters and his regal grace - oh how that image touched my soul. How wounderful to hear the laughter and acceptance in her voice - it was as if she were reaching out with this gift to me and saying, "it is alright to grieve but loss does not preclude joy." I can see my beautiful son gliding on the calm waters.
Thank you both,
I find hope in seeing the
I find hope in seeing the American people wake up to what the rest of the world knows about them. I take hope that the American people are beginning to see the Koch Brothers and the nasty methods of ruling elites to perpetrate and perpetuate scarcity and ecological exploitation of this world, which in turn leads to fear of lack, and the beginnings of evil rising. I delight that these evil doers like Tsar Nicholas or Kaiser Wilhelm are playing their grandfathers' cards in arrogance ever closer to the widening spot light of our expanding consciousness of cause and effect. Each round they come closer and closer to toppling themselves, just as their peers have all done before them.
Once American people can see how these ancient practices of Kings are still being used against them by their "betters" in their flawed constitutional democracy, and start to protect themselves with a greater social construction, we can expect much better times on this earth.
It was Spinoza who said that our collective social constructions are what reveal divinity in us on earth. I agree with him. I look forward to the future social constructions we will collectively agree upon to improve on our US constitution in the next round which is clearly been rigged to favor rulers and their property rather than the majority and their economic security. Once we do that, we will see through the lies and duplicity of the few we serve who truly profit from poverty, economic insecurity, social unrest, power vacuum and violence all over the world in resource rich lands.
My great hope is that the people starting in Wisconsin will wake up for our own version of a peaceful 1848, 1989, and now 2011 velvet revolution of consciousness of the true laws of cause and effect! Perhaps, we can show the Mayans a different 2012 prophecy!
Has there ever been such an
Has there ever been such an immediate response to an On Being program as this?
I don't remember one. Fifteen years ago there were no real conversations
about religion taking place on or off the radio. Moyers on PBS and that was about it.
Thank you Krista. This program is a continuing gift.
I have been reading Joanna
I have been reading Joanna Macy's Rilke for at least a decade. After I have observed 13 things from my kitchen window, and written them down, I read from "A Year with Rilke."
From his poems, I have gained a better understanding of our basic humanity, of how to listen to the earth and give back, the net beyond and yet within, big enough to hold all of us, and how every living thing is essential to its well-being. Rilke is the poet that sustains, Joanna Macy the beam of the light that highlights the way into Rilke's profound reflections. Praise is my only response.
What a lovely show. I am new
What a lovely show. I am new to your show, know very little about Rilke. Your interview with Joanna Macy was delicious and inspiring. Thank you!
Hi! Great show! How do I find
Hi! Great show! How do I find out what the song is that closes the show (50:10)? Is an original piece? Or a "cover" of a classic I don't know about? It sounds hauntingly familiar to the 2007 Viral Video song, "Chocolate Rain". Trying to find out if this is an ironic derivative or if the viral song is a derivative of a jazz classic that I should know.
Thanks for the help!!
Such an excellent interview
Such an excellent interview with Ms. Macey, a seaswell of a voice into which so many of us can
realisticalloy plug and find a direction in this "turning" (from Heidegger) and Ms. Macey. I've
been doing a book on poetics of photography -- PhotoPoetics: 3 Secrets of Poetic Photography --
and this interview put some missing pieces into place for my overall message that centrally
wires into Whitman (who did influence Rilke and too many other genii to mention)... Please
continue this level of work, Ms. Tippett (I also use your interview with V V Raman
for material for my book re: the complementary relationship of poetry and science (which
Whitamn did understand) AND WHY NOT DO AN INTERVIEW WITH SOMEONE WHO IS DEEP
INTO WHITMAN? He is our (artists') "unconscious" said C. K. Williams in On Whitman.
Or have you done such an interview?
With gratitude for your Rilke
With gratitude for your Rilke reflections, this poem.
November Is the Name
for Neighbor
Tuesday when I wake up
I'll walk to my town hall
to make our country again.
November is a party's
weather. Isn't a leaf a vote,
the wind winding down its
burnt campaign? There's more
than enough to complain about,
set right, with one vote.
Memory is a way to remember.
And stopping, before I ballot,
to see the crushed bird, that barred
owl—that one vote—wings'
splayed, cast on the paved road.
Isn't it fair to say a feather is more
than a feather when it meets
my eye. Say aye here, if you want
to be remembered. If you want
to see what's here. Because
of what we've made of the weather.
Because of the party the wind makes
when it calls us together,
by the side of the road. Say
when we cross paths again,
checking ourselves off the checklist.
Say when November is the name
for neighbor.

It was breathtaking listening
It was breathtaking listening to this episode. I felt like I had landed on another planet and was trying, unsuccessfully to pick up the language.
I have just listened to this
I have just listened to this conversation between Joanna and Krista and, like you, found it breathtaking (and breath giving). I have never read through these kinds of comments and never replied. So this is a first, but here I am. I felt that I wanted to respond to you and encourage you to listen to this interview - again and maybe again and again. I notice your name is signed: Kurt Mudgeon. Perhaps it is your given name but I'm guessing it's more a name for a way you feel you are - as in - curmudgeon. I can imagine it would be hard for someone who has taken up "curmudgeon" to pick up the language. But I wonder if, with practice, you can! Best wishes. Denni

"Taking Refuge in our
"Taking Refuge in our inextricable identity with the living Earth ..."
Linus, the cockatoo, bites the cage for two reasons. Firstly, he's bored. Secondly, it gets my attention. Whether I want to give it or not, I'm instantly magnetized to the sound of it. Doh! Not that! Rust. Rust. Rust. Beneath that teflon coating is steel and future rust.
The first thing he did when he came to my house was dismantle one of the bars of the cage. It made such a deep impression on him that I was so emotionally invested in keeping him from doing this that now he wakes me up this way every morning --because it works! I'm instantly energized. I've been known to sneak downstairs to see exactly what he is doing. Is he biting the cage or taking a quarter inch hunk out of one of his perches?
"Really? That's how you want to connect?" I ask him feeling a little vexed when I see him doing it again. Even I can see that I am putting a lot of energy into doing something about this behavior--moving perches, moving cages, hanging toys, changing the room and its occupants relationships to one another in space. I know, it sounds subtle, but it works.
Now my macaw is doing it. Tick, tick, tick. There's only one way to stop these birds from being so bad. It is to keep my emotions perfectly smooth when it happens. Not even a tiny bit of interest can escape. Power is a reward. I am handing it over and they are leading me with it. Grr! It's the same thing my brother used to do to make me mad enough to chase him. Aggravation is a form of humor. It's a way of having fun in a world of cages and an ocean of sameness. I've got to turn things around.
To get them to follow me to a new game, I have to make them forget about how it effects me. So the answer isn't in controlling them. It's in controlling me. I've had years of practice with this. Before they knew and trusted me, that's how I got all of them to stop biting me. This technique takes time, but the faster and better I can do it, the less I'll be reinforcing what I don't want to see.
I begin working on the macaw first because she's just starting this business. I can already get her to stop after just a few minutes because the whole reasons she's doing it isn't working.
I leave the cockatoo cage open and start washing dishes in response to him doing it. He asks me what I am doing and before long he makes a new game of hanging on the outside of the door --which he hasn't done before. See? A new behavior is already starting to manifest. The solution is not so far away now that I've identified the problem and created a strategy, but I don't JUST ignore them. I understand that the underlying reason they're doing this is because they want is more attention. They want more than ever and for no reason at all. So that's how I give it to them-- more and more for no reason--unassociated with this drama.
This is not about reason. It's about empathy. I feed our connection and before long they'll stop aggravating me to get what they're needing and our relationship will be deeper still. They're easy to love! And this transformation is what our hearts are for. This is the work it does best.

Thank you for such a wonderful interview with Joanna Macy. What an inspirational woman! How comforting it is to know that someone is out there making sure our planet stays safe so that many more generations can feel their love for God by enjoying it. I enjoyed all Rilke's poems that Joanna read and they made me remember my dad who left this world 14 years ago. He lived life through God and the earth which is something I cherish. You truly can live through the people you love.

My life's blood is river deep
My life's blood is river deep, depths difficult to know, recognize, as it moves, silent, heavy to the sea. OnBeing comes. My blood-river-running in response to Krista and her guests here in middle of my night, lifts as a lover, pelvis, heart into sounds, words, lips of the guest, and Krista. And I know all must be well for they, recording guest after guest calling me forth from washing my dishes, hurrying, and scurrying to bed so I can get back up. In Rilke sacred forest and other guests, too, we run luminously through, recognizing ourselves. It is music of Krista unfolding into my kitchen, here I at 79 and so much left to braid, weave from the world, into myself before I let go onto the lake and float ripples expanding enlarging the circles.
Krista don't run away under pressure from new management and all of the rattle revving up storm, spinning and grabbing everywhere anything but fight to last breath and stay with us here, our mouths yearning and wanting to lift, lift into flight into our own magical being. For in this show we recognize sweet breath from the hills down into valleys, water for our journey. We not alone, strengthened, weep and giggle in the knowing, and meeting ourselves.

New London — A 30-year-old man was arrested on burglary charges early Friday morning after police discovered him inside Car Quest Auto Parks.
About 3:30 a.m. Friday, police officers conducting a building check at the auto parts store at 390 Broad St. discovered a broken window on one of the garage doors. They called in the K-9 unit and found Angel Rodriguez inside the building.
Rodriguez, of no certain address, was charged with third-degree burglary, possession of burglary tools, sixth-degree larceny and third-degree criminal mischief.

Did anybody notice the 18K gold sprint Spyderco bead/lanyard?
Also not appearing in the catalog is the fluted CF Para2 sprint. I wonder if this means that production has been delayed further, or whether it was entirely too "sexy" to include in the catalog? Hmmmmm.
I think a fair number of sprints don't ever make it into the catlogs/supplements, so I'm not going to read any discouraging smoke signals here.
Thank you Kristi.
Stay Sharp!

But it appears to be real. I handled a prototype at the Blade Show this spring. Eric said that he was not happy with the thickness of the scales on the prototype and wanted to thin them down before the release. As I recall, the prototype was similar in contour to the Millie fluted Ti scales - but made from CF, of course. I can't describe exactly how it felt in hand... but it was among the most comfortable handles I've ever experienced. The CF was warm and tactile with just the right amount of grip, but it didn't feel like it would rip your pockets up like a lot of textured G10. Great stuff - like I said: Drop-dead sexy.
I'm anxious to see what kind of steel they are including in this package. Would it be too much to hope for M4?
Thanks for the heads up. My wallet is gonna be a whole lot lighter after reading this.
The Knife Center already has some of the new models listed for pre-order. I ordered the Spy-DK and the Clipitool with the bottle opener. I thought the list prices on them were quite reasonable, and the KC discounted prices very nice, indeed. The Firefly, however, costs more than I would ever allow myself to spend on a single knife. Not sayin' it isn't worth it, though...
My Spydercos: (all plain edge)
Jester (Gray G-10 & Black FRN), Manbug (Black Lightweight & British Racing Green ZDP-189), Dragonfly (Green G-10), Dragonfly2 (Black, Orange, Yellow H-1, British Racing Green ZDP-189), Pingo (Black & Orange), Squeak (Black), Delica4 (Black), Salt1 (Yellow), Manix2 (Blue FRCP), Native (Black FRN S30V & Brown FRN CTS-XHP), Zulu, Rock Lobster, Balance (Stainless), Calypso Jr (Gray FRN), Double Bevel, Lava (Blue G-10)
Tusk looks great! Curious why such a small blade though?
Autonomy, H1 auto = instant winner!
More S90v & CF please.......

"Continuing in the classical tradition" is a David Yurman maxim. From early Greek and Egyptian art to Celtic jewelry; from medieval legend to sailors' lore—the collections richly reference the artifacts and wisdom of antiquity. "My interest in design has always been touched by magical, ancient forms," David Yurman says. "I sense there is a common thread in recognizable symbols that seem to bind people together."
Named after the fabled creature that was part lion and part eagle, the Griffin collection is one of a series of designs inspired by history and mythology. An amalgam of the king of beasts and the king of birds, the Griffin was considered to have dominion over all creatures. It was also known to collect and fiercely guard treasures, including precious gems and metals. Fittingly, then, this collection features bold stones and colors evoking the creature's symbolic power and majesty, including black onyx, black diamonds, and red jasper. On rings, amulets, and belt buckles, the motif creates a sense of mystery and meaning.
