Happy Halloween
Happy Halloween!
Luke and Scooby are taking a break from dressing up this year.
They rocked some costumes earlier in October and Scooby even put on his old rooster outfit for the Bow Wow Ween party at Queen of Paws Boutique.
However, he slipped out of that and into something a little more comfortable (i.e. his Beer Paws t-shirt) for a festive Team Beer Paws photo with me and our friends Roxy and Sevy.
Technically, our photo is up for an award in a contest over on the Queen of Paws Facebook page.
We'd love your vote, but since we're the only entrant in our category, I really want you to vote on another picture.
Former foster Minnie and her sister Pan are in the running for the title of Cutest Halloween Costumes. If they win, they'll get an array of goodies from Queen of Paws – and affirmation that they are adorable girls in their outfits.
To help Minnie and Pan win, simply LIKE the photo album called Bow Wow Ween Costume Contest 2013 and then LIKE their photo.
Are your dogs dressing up this year? Let me know in the comments and feel free to post a picture on the Wayward Dogs Facebook page!
Non-Stop Awesome Weekend
Burning the candle at both ends and overstuffing my calendar is just how I roll.
Between a full-time job, running my own business, doting on my dogs, blogging and an active social calendar, I don't allow myself much down time.
But even by my standards, this past weekend was insane – in a good way.
5 Things I Did Last Weekend
1. Saw one of my all-time favorite bands play – because of my dog.
It helps to know people with power – and pooches with influence. My common-law sister-in-law Bethany scored us free entry to a Minus the Bear concert in Lawrence, Kansas, after name-dropping Scooby the elderpin.
That's right. My dog is a rock star.
How this happened: Throughout his career of being awesome, Scooby has reported for regular duty at a variety of businesses. As luck would have it, the lord of the tickets at the Granada Theater once worked with the elderpin at a screen printing shop.
Speaking of business, my weekend also included…
2. Launching my Beer Paws products into a new retail location.
Queen of Paws Boutique & Spa, an adorable little business operated by my friend Christine Gregory in Prairie Village, Kansas, now carries Beer Paws. A portion of every Beer Paws sale made at Queen of Paws will be donated to Bark N Blues, one of Christine's favorite local animal welfare organizations.
I got the Beer Paws to Christine's shop just in time for her 1st anniversary celebration. I am so proud of this lady for following her dream and working so hard to make it a success!
Unfortunately, I could not attend the party because my weekend was so chock full with other activities like:
3. Getting up at 5:30 a.m. for Strutt with Your Mutt.
Last year, I actually ran the 5K at this benefit for Wayside Waifs. This year, I chugged coffee in the vendors' area (aka the "flealess market").
Of course, I was there repping Beer Paws. Like at several local pet events recently, I was able to set up shop with Kennel Creek Pet Resort.
As usual, owner Chris Sailors' sweet dogs Reilly and Willow attracted a crowd, and together we introduced a lot of new people to our businesses.
As soon as Strutt ended, I had to skedaddle for another very important event…
4. The wedding of former foster dog Minnie's forever family.
The nuptials were held at the home of the bride's mom and stepdad, in a small town outside of Jefferson City, Missouri. The setting was as beautiful as the bride and the drive so pleasant I didn't mind that it took 2.5 hours.
I was ecstatic to be on the very short guestlist for this intimate gathering. I even had a special role to play – helping Minnie perform her role! The pretty little husky mix was the ringbearer!
I should have booked a hotel that night and saved myself some driving. The next day was also spent in this general part of Missouri…
5. Touring the ranch where the Budweiser clydesdales live.
On Sunday I got up super early again to hit the road with my family for a special daytrip celebrating my aunt getting through her radiation treatments for breast cancer and also my mom's upcoming birthday.
Did you know that those big, beautiful horses synonymous with Budweiser beer are bred right here in Missouri? That's right – they are raised at Warm Springs Ranch outside Boonville. My mom has been crowing about this place for a couple years now, and I have to say she was right. There's just nothing like getting nuzzled by a 2,000-pound gentle giant.
How was your weekend?
How We Helped Dogs in 2012
Way back when my little Wayward Dogs project began, I started this blog to chronicle the lost, stray and abandoned canines I encountered.
I'm quite happy to report that for a second year in a row, those experiences did not occur frequently enough to warrant daily posts. In fact, I hardly ran into any wayward dogs on the streets in the year 2012!
That, of course, meant I had to fill in the days with posts about other things, including other people's awesome dog projects, including:
- Missouri's Puppies for Parole program
- How Rose Brooks Center helps battered women, children and their pets
- How Conservation Canines are helping to save the whales (my other favorite animal)
- The Yellow Dog Project
Then, there was the KC Pittie Pack…
Emily from Our Waldo Bungie and I came together in 2012 to create a co-project of our own.
We founded KC Pittie Pack & Friends, a walking group designed to help people socialize their pets in a structured environment. In its first year, KC Pittie Pack:
- Gained almost 100 members through our Meetup group
- Held 27 Meetups around Kansas City
- Was recognized by local newspaper The Pitch as Kansas City's "Best Way to Tame Your Wild-ass Dog"
- Brought out a whole bunch of bully breed dogs for National Pit Bull Awareness Day
- Outfitted our supporters in awesome hoodies and T-shirts
In 2012, I also used this blog as a platform to generate support for local animal welfare organizations.
My awesome blog readers helped me:
- Run my first 5K and raise $250 for Wayside Waifs
- Raise over $300 through a raffle and shopping event benefiting Midwest Adopt-a-Bull
And the year was not totally devoid of "wayward dogs."
Of the handful of lost dogs I encountered, the three I was able to assist appeared when I was en route to work:
- Malakai - A gorgeous and sweet husky dog who was stopping traffic on a very busy Kansas City street.
- Tara – I knew my neighbor's elderbull was never supposed to run around the 'hood by herself.
- Cotton – A hunting dog I totally failed to blog about. Rather than taking him with me, I turned back toward home. Cotton's ID tag had a phone number, so I left a message on his owner's voicemail that his dog was safe and how to reach me. Then, I went on to work. Within 20 minutes, Cotton's uber-relieved-sounding dad called him, so I told him where to go pick up his pup.
Foster Dogs
The fact that very few stray doggies followed me home in 2012 was actually a really good thing, considering at the beginning of the year we still had two formerly wayward dogs under our roof – Minnie and Charlie Machete - in addition to our two forever dogs.
No kidding – four was too much for our little house and the humans inside it.
Fortunately, by May, both fosters were adopted. But the reprieve did not last long.
Less than a year after he originally arrived in our lives, Charlie Machete came back – by way of a shelter in Omaha.
We still don't know exactly why he ended up behind bars, but we are grateful Charlie Machete's adopters never changed the contact information on his microchip. Because they didn't, the shelter called me, and Zach was able to make the three-hour drive to bail out our big black foster dog, who was otherwise on the list to be euthanized.
For now, he remains with us – when he's not playing with his friends at Kennel Creek Pet Resort – and is available for adoption through Midwest Adopt-a-Bull.
Influencing Others
Although I haven't proven to be a very successful dog foster mom, I'm proud to say that, through networking, I was able to help some other dogs find forever homes in 2012.
Sometimes I feel funny about the fact that I am the girl who almost daily posts sad pictures of dogs desperate to be adopted. I know this habit annoys some of my friends, but I keep doing it for a good reason: Sometimes the sharing pays off.
Because I helped my friend and fellow Kansas City pet advocate Nicole get the word out, these two dogs landed in forever homes in 2012:
- Mia, a beagle/husky mix was adopted by my coworker
- A black lab puppy was taken into a foster home that adopted him
My constant fretting about wayward dogs also seems to have had an effect on Zach's and my mothers.
In 2012, both of them made successful efforts to apprehend and return home lost dogs in their own neighborhoods.
I have also noticed that generally in life I am becoming the person others turn to when they have questions about dogs. That sure feels good, and I always try to help if I can.
Here's hoping for more successful efforts on behalf of dogs in 2013!
What was your biggest accomplishment for dogs last year?
A Christmas Fit for Husky Dogs
Kansas City woke up this morning to white stuff and blustery wind.
My fingers are crossed that we might actually have a white Christmas.
For at least two households I know in this metro area, it will be the first Christmas celebrated in the company of a beautiful husky mix with heterogenous eyes.
I'm not only referring to Minnie, my lovely former foster dog who now enjoys a pampered existence with my friend Holly.
There's also Mia.
Several months ago, my friend Nicole, the Kansas City animal advocate I introduced you to last week, forwarded me this picture.
The beagle husky mix belonged to some people in Nicole's family who were moving and could not take the dog with them.
I helped Nicole spread the word. As luck would have it a family I knew was on the hunt for their first dog. And the dad had a soft spot for huskies.
Come back tomorrow to learn more about Mia's happy ending!
Sunday Dog Date
Luke and I got to see one of our favorite faces today.
Former foster dog Minnie and her mom Holly met us for fresh-squeezed juice and a pumpkin spice latte (for the people) on the dog-friendly patio of Coffee Girl's Cafe.
Located next door to Remedy, Coffee Girls is another favorite spot in my Waldo neighborhood to chill over tasty food and beverages.
I should have photographed the herbs growing out of mason jars on the inside tables.
But I was too giddy overseeing the reunion of lovebugs Luke and Minnie.
The sweet little husky mix with one blue eye started singing as soon as she saw Luke and me round the corner. She seemed equally excited to see both of us after the past few months apart. She also seems very bonded to her mama, which makes me happy.
Between Luke and Minnie, the emotion was so high that Holly and I actually had to walk the dogs around the block to calm down before we settled into our table.
We didn't want the amorous golden retriever and his sassy lady to disturb the other diners too much.
There were kisses, high pitched whines, kisses, happy jumping, kisses, yips and more kisses. Minnie gave Luke lots of licks across his nose and forehead. He seemed to enjoy that.
Back at the cafe, they eventually acted like they'd never been separated and were satisfied to observe the world while laying quietly and close to each other.
After brunch we took the dogs to a nearby swath of unused property where they could run around off-leash like they did before Minnie moved out.
It was awesome – and interaction that these two dogs, who are able to play nice with each other, really need.
Luke and Minnie might not live together anymore, but they are still in love.
They insist on more dates. Soon!
Does your dog have a boyfriend or girlfriend that does not live with you?
Ask the Vet: What is the tick-borne disease Ehrlichiosis?
Do you worry about your dogs and ticks? As it turns out, Lyme disease is not the only tick-borne illness we need to be concerned about (for our pets and ourselves).
A while back, former foster dog Minnie's momma informed me that the sweet husky mix had been diagnosed with something called Ehrlichia canis, a tick-related problem neither of us had heard of before. Figuring that many Wayward Dogs readers also don't know much about Ehrlichia canis and the disease it causes. So, I asked my vet, who provided the following exhaustive report.
Ehrlichiosis is a tick-borne disease of dogs caused by the intracellular organism Ehrlichia canis. Both the Brown Dog Tick and the American Dog Tick can pass the organism into the blood when they bite a dog. It requires 24-48 hours of feeding for the organism to pass from the tick to the dog. The organism enters white blood cells where they multiply and disseminate throughout the dog. Dogs with the disease caused by the infection of E. canis commonly present with fever, lethargy, anorexia, acute lameness or polyarthritis, enlarged lymph nodes, or weight loss.
The inflammatory process caused by the infection can also result in thrombocytopenia (low platelet production), which results in petechial hemorrhages, nose bleeds, and other bleeding abnormalities. Occasionally dogs may present with neurologic disease, vomiting or diarrhea, or ocular lesions.
Cats and humans can also be infected by E. canis from the bite of an infected tick.In cats the disease is similar to dogs. In humans, infection by E. canis is not as common as other tick-borne diseases and causes flu-like symptoms which may progress to varying symptoms caused by immune dysregulation.
Veterinarians have been diagnosing E. canis infection increasingly due to the addition of the 4 common tick disease antibody tests to the IDEXX Heatworm Snap Test in recent years. The increasing incidence of positive tick disease tests at Aid Animal Hospital is similar to other clinics in areas of the country where the disease-carrying ticks are commonly found.
Some dogs testing positive in our practice are showing symptoms at the time of diagnosis, some are without symptoms and are found to be positive on routine screening. Because of the different symptoms caused by E. canis infection based on whether it is an acute, sub-clinical, or chronic infection, it is almost impossible to diagnose a pet based on symptoms alone.
Any pet owner who removes an attached tick from a pet should watch for signs of illness such as fever, lethargy, anorexia or acute lameness.
The treatment for E. canis is usually doxycycline, for 4-6 weeks, but may be longer. Treatment for the disease caused by E. canis is based on the symptoms exhibited by the dog and can include intravenous fluids, anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, blood transfusions, or other treatments specific to the organs affected.
Other tick-borne disease include: Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Lyme Disease, Q-Fever, and infections caused by other Ehrlichia species such as Human Granulocytic and Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis.
The best way to prevent infection by E. canis is by protecting your pet from ticks using effective flea and tick products regularly.
Always inspect your pet's hair and skin after being in areas potentially infested by ticks. Frequent brushing and combing can expose ticks hiding in areas like face, ears, underarms, groin, and around the peri-anal area. If an embedded tick is found, use gloves and tweezers to remove the body and head of the tick, followed by thorough handwashing. Because tick activity can occur year round due to mild weather conditions, pets should be maintained on tick control products year round.

Thanks to Dr. Smith at Aid Animal Hospital in Kansas City for preparing this report.
Have the ticks been bad where you live this year? Have you ever heard of Ehrlichiosis?
Foster dog update: Minnie
Establishing the bond between a dog and owner isn't always easy.
Sometimes a new person and new dog just don't gel — or get time enough to find their rhythm. We found that out the first time we sent Charlie Machete home with a new family.
Our Waldo Bungie shared a great series about the challenges for foster dogs transitioning into a new home this week. Check it out here.
While we're on the topic, I'm happy to report that longtime Wayward House resident Minnie is doing great at her new home.
Because she's such a sweet and easy dog, we knew Minnie and her new mistress Holly would bond quickly, and we were right.
It didn't take long for the old girl to start demanding pets from her new mistress.
There was a short adjustment period, when Holly says Minnie didn't have a huge appetite.
But she ate when she got hungry enough, and now she's happy as a dog can be.
In fact, she's even finding time to contemplate getting spiritual.
Holly promises more updates about Minnie soon, and I will be sure to share them.
If you are looking to add a new dog to your house, check out the Adoptable page.
Minnie finds a forever home
Guess who's been grazing greener pastures?
That's right. Minnie, the enchanting husky mix with heterogenous eyes and the sweetest smile you've ever seen, has gone and found herself a new home.
We are so happy for her!
Considering what a catch Minnie is — housebroken, good with kids and other animals, leash-trained, obedient and so stinkin' cute — maybe I shouldn't have been surprised that we received immediate interest about her as soon as I re-ignited the campaign to get her adopted.
Two parties stepped up, and Minnie spent a weekend with both of them.
She wowed everybody, but the ideal match turned out to be my good friend Holly.
The bonus about Minnie being adopted by someone I already know and like to hang out with: I'll still get to see the old girl.
In fact, Minnie recently stayed a few days with our pack while Holly was out of town on business.
Knowing that Holly, who used to volunteer at a shelter in California, would be an awesome dog mom, I actually suggested months ago that she consider adopting Minnie.
She wasn't ready for a dog then, but I'm so glad she is now. These two gals make a pretty pair.
As Holly's only dog, Minnie gets to bask in so much more attention than she received at the Wayward House. She also now lives right across the street from a park, where she'll no doubt get to play with some of the children she so enjoys.
I'm so happy with this arrangement that I didn't even cry when Minnie moved out!
Thanks to everyone for supporting us on our journey with Minnie. Please keep passing the good vibes in Holly's direction!

It was a big day for Emily Stotesbery, Lauren Church and the rest of the Convent of the Sacred Heart swimming team.
Stotesbery, a sophomore, set a school record by winning the diving competition with a score of 241 in the Tigers' 110-76 victory over Miss Porter's on Saturday afternoon.
Stotesbery and Amanda Molinelli went 1-2 in diving for the Tigers, who stayed perfect at 5-0.
Church, another sophomore, also had an exceptional meet, winning the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke. Church, Sveva Marcangeli, Jillian Carter, Nicole Rogers took first in the 200 medley relay, while Christine McGuire, Rogers, Carter and Church touched first in the 400 freestyle relay.
"It was a really close meet, all the races were decided with half a second," CSH coach Maura Foster said. "I'd say 90 percent of the girls had personal bests and the rest had season bests. Lauren had a spectacular meet. Miss Porter's is a friendly rival, so the meet was a ton of fun."
Carter won the 100 butterfly, and McGuire finished second in both the 200 and 500 freestyle events.
CSH hosts Holy Child on Monday.
A goal by Kevin Duane at the buzzer gave Brunswick a dramatic 4-3 victory over The Hill School (Pa.).
Ben Weisburger and Bo Stafford each had one goal and one assist, while Toshi Terai also scored.
"It was a great hockey game," Brunswick assistant coach Mike Kennedy said. "Both teams had quality chances and the goaltending was great. Hill protested the game-winner a little bit, but the goal was allowed so we'll take it."
Tommy Dwyer and John Hayden had two assists apiece, and Nick Trepp set up Duane's goal with a feed across the crease.
Gryphon Richardson stopped 27 shots for the Bruins, who are 6-0-1 in their last seven.
"We've found some good team chemistry and the lines are clicking right now," Kennedy said. "It's a good feeling, but there's still a lot of hockey to be played."
Eliza Hompe scored on a pass from Lucy Keohane with 7:32 remaining, lifting Greenwich Academy to a big 1-0 victory over Millbrook in a showdown of NEPSWIHA Division II teams.
Eliza Pujol made 25 saves to preserve the shutout for the Gators (4-6), while Pam Schulman was credited with four blocked pucks.
GA coach Moe Tarrant also praised the efforts of freshmen Mary and Keira Taussig, and Kelly Groglio.
"Those three probably had their best games," Tarrant said. "This was a great win for us."
GA will host Canterbury on Wednesday.
Brunswick School remained perfect on the season with a pair of 6-1 victories over Salisbury and Hotchkiss.
Parker Hurst (No. 3), Cooper Briggs (No. 4), Chris Baldock (No. 5) and Ned Whelan (No. 8) all won two matches by a 3-0 count.
At No. 6 Matt Shang pulled out a 12-10 win in the fifth game and also prevailed 3-0 for a sweep on the day, while Reed Breck (No. 7) won 3-0, 3-1. Matt Mackin (No. 1) and John Dudzik (No. 2) split their matches, with Mackin losing a 14-12 heartbreaker in the final set.
Brunswick will host undefeated Taft on Saturday.
Devin Mehra scored 20 points and the Brunswick School basketball team connected on seven 3-pointers, but it wasn't enough in a 56-54 loss to Salisbury.
The Bruins (7-7) trailed by 11 with 5:00 remaining before whittling Salisbury's lead down to two with 10 seconds left. Brunswick had a chance to tie, but turned the ball over on its final possession.
"We weren't as sharp as we would have liked coming off the break for exams," Bruins coach Anthony Fischetti said.
Max Barrett added 14 points and Zach Lynch had eight in the loss.
Brunswick will host Hopkins in a FAA contest on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m.

Surprised no one posted on this yet, but according to the SF Chronicle - http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2006/05/24/SPG4LJ0C5E1.DTL - the Giants might be kicking the tires towards Snow's return. That might explain the odd talk about carrying one less pitcher in order to carry another position player.
Holy Guacamole Batman! What's worse, playing Vizcaino at 1B or bringing back Snow at even the league's minimum but costing us a low level prospect?
I liked Snow when many fans were ragging on him - AT&T Mays Field killed his power, but he still had 20 HR/year power on the road and his OBP was great in the #2 spot - but last year he couldn't even hit for power on the road - even when he had his bad years with injuries bothering him, he still hit for power on the road - so I think he is done.
Maybe if they brought him back as a 1B instructor for Vizcaino and Niekro and all the organizational OF that Jack Hiatt wants to learn 1B, we already have Darren Lewis instructing OF and Kirt Manwaring instructing C, it would be wholely appropriate to have him teaching 1B, particularly Ishikawa, if he's our future starting 1B (though I've heard that he already has MBL caliber defense).
But I see no need for bringing Snow back, particularly if it requires us paying more than league minimum and costs us even a low level prospect. At this point, we might be better off bringing back Andre Gallaraga or Will Clark than Snow.

The world of economics is a complicated and messy place. Yet modern economic analysis rests on an attempt to represent the world by means of simple mathematical models. To what extent is this possible? How can such a program cope with the fact that economic outcomes are often driven by factors that are notoriously difficult to quantify? Can such mathematical modeling lead us to theories that work?
"I have spent my whole professional life as an international economist thinking and writing about economic geography, without being aware of it," begins Paul Krugman in the readable and anecdotal style that has become a hallmark of his writings. Krugman observes that his own shortcomings in ignoring economic geography have been shared by many professional economists, primarily because of the lack of explanatory models.
This interesting and provocative collection of essays addresses most if not all of the key current policy issues in open economy macroeconomics: the strong dollar, LDC debt problems, and deficit financing.

Conversations with a Globetrotting LD
On occasional Monday evenings, lighting designer Robert Wierzel can be found tucked into a booth at a popular little restaurant in New York City, deep in discussion with a few colleagues over dinner. The fact that Wierzel lives in Connecticut (he is married to his high-school sweetheart, and is the father of 10-year-old twins) and travels extensively from theatre to theatre, makes these Monday night get-togethers all the more valuable. I met him there one night last fall as he was on his way to the New York Shakespeare Festival's Public Theatre, just a few blocks away, to check on his lighting for a new production of Othello, directed by Doug Hughes. The evening proved the perfect opportunity to catch up with Wierzel about his life and prolific career.
Ellen Lampert-Gréaux: I saw your powerful lighting for Doug Hughes' production of Othello at the Public. It is quite interesting visually. Can you comment on the design concept?
Robert Wierzel: One aspect of Othello is about corruption; about destroying faith in oneself and in others. Doug talked about the romance and fragility in the play, especially the fragility in the relationships between characters. This led Neil Patel to set the piece in an open, classic-looking space which gave the actors, and the story, the freedom to move. Cathy Zuber's costumes had a romantic edge to them. Everyone was part of the same world. There was a sense of abstract reality, with gold-painted columns and red screens to represent the opulence of Venice. Yet there is also a modern context: very spare, very considered. The back wall had a horizontal slit, like some idea of a window, or light, and gave the space a contemporary feeling. The floor was beautifully stained wood with metal bands, But this production was really about watching what was going on in Iago's head, being part of his private moments.
ELG: How does lighting emphasize that idea?
RW: There were moments in the lighting (and the sound by David van Tieghem) that take you out of the reality of the play and into Iago's thoughts, his private thinking. I tried to shift our perception, to deaden the space in those moments, to negate it. This translated to a fluorescent footlight idea to light Iago. At one point there is a giant shadow of Iago on the back wall. Is his ego that big? This is a turning point for him. He realizes that his plot is working. We see a larger-than-life Iago because that is how he perceives himself.
ELG: What about the use of color?
RW: I hope the use/not use of color had a coherency about it. One of my goals was to infuse the space with various qualities of light that would reveal something about the moment. The slit in the back wall, for example, is lit with two sets of striplights to bounce into the back wall and one set to shoot straight down. There are also PAR-64s coming in from the sides. The color changes from acid green [Rosco 86 Pea Green] to yellow [R312 Canary], white [Lee 161 Slate Blue], and blue [L119 Dark Blue]. The thought is to communicate with light; to create a vocabulary of ideas with light. How it moves, what it reveals, when it commands focus, and why things happen.
ELG: What lit the water at the bottom of the back wall?
RW: There were L&E Mini-Strips, and ETC Source Fours focused on the water. The bottom of the trough was mirrored Plexiglas, and stagehands moved the water to create a sense of movement.
ELG: How do you respond to scenic constraints in a given production?
RW: It seems to me that set design is becoming highly architectural. People tend not to design sets but spaces. Therefore, light has a bigger role in how that space is revealed. It is all in how you think about the light — the color, the angle, the architecture of the light itself and how you reveal the space. You can force the light to have a certain attitude, but you do not always have sidelight or backlight.
For example, take Othello. There is a back wall and a floor. Yet we can move from a violent storm at sea to a violent storm of the mind. That's something theatre can do. You can create atmosphere after atmosphere with the light. For example, I combine L120 [Deep Blue], acid purple, with sickly amber, R17 [Light Flame], very dim, for a dense and thick night light. Othello was a good collaborative process. Doug would be sensitive enough to see what was there and use it. What the light started to mean is something we did together. We brought our visual vocabularies together. When the questions you have start to be answered by the choices you are making, I believe this is the best place to be.
ELG: What was your path to becoming a lighting designer?
RW: I thought I was going to be a dancer first. My father was a retired New York City policeman and we moved to New Port Richey, FL, from Staten Island when I was 16, in 1972. At first I hated Florida, later I loved it. At the time, the school system was many years behind. Our television received only a very few stations. One of those was PBS. One day, Dance in America, I think, was on with this couple from Russia. The Panovs had recently defected from Russia and I watched them dance in a televised concert. I had no experience in the theatre and had not gone into Manhattan too often as a child. But I became totally entranced by how the Panovs were dancing, which was in the grand pas de deux from The Nutcracker. It took my breath away. I wanted to know what it was.
ELG: Did you rush from the living room into a dance studio?
RW: No. Actually, I found a little community theatre called the Richey Suncoast Theatre. I got involved there and helped with the lighting. I was very young, just 17 years old. I also began to study dance with an eccentric Romanian woman of Martha Graham's generation and we gave concerts at the community theatre. Then I discovered you could do this professionally and took courses, first at a community college, then at the University of South Florida, in Tampa, where I took dance and theatre, working my way through school. I went to be a dancer but eventually moved to lighting, which I had been doing at the community theatre.
ELG: When did you move back north?
RW: After freelancing a little while, I felt that I was missing something. I had begun to discover what looked good, and how to shape light. The college courses helped organize something I thought I knew in my mind's eye. But I decided to go to graduate school, and applied to NYU, Yale, and Cal Arts. I went to Yale in 1981. Peter Maradudin and I were in Jennifer Tipton's first class. Yale was very hard at first, and I was a little apprehensive. I did not think it was anyplace I would ever be. I was the first person in my family to finish college and go to graduate school.
ELG: What did you do when you first graduated from Yale?
RW: One of my first projects was The Mystery Plays at Hartford Stage, with sets by John Conklin. Our world is a very small one and sometimes people recommended recent grads for projects. This is how things started. Also, about that time I started working with choreographers Bill T. Jones and Arnie Zane. Bill has changed the way I see the world, and somehow helped me understand the role of the artist in our culture. His piece Still/Here made a really incredible impact. I connect to dance. Dance and lighting are both nonverbal art forms. Dance asks questions that you, the viewer, must answer.
ELG: What makes it art?
RW: It is art if when you leave the theatre you are moved, or changed, because of what you experienced, even temporarily. Also, when you look at a piece and it resonates beyond its parts. When it is seamless somehow.
ELG: What about the transitions from scene to scene?
RW: Transitions are very important. They are the engine that propels us forward. The quality of the light has to have a meaning we react to psychologically or emotionally.
ELG: Is your approach to opera different from theatre and dance?
RW: No, I think basically the process is the same. Music is also a nonverbal medium and therefore allows many points of interpretation. I enjoy 18th- and 20th-century opera, when it has a point of view. When we can make those pieces live for today, opera can be thrilling. For Roberto Devereaux at New York City Opera, the space was very unreal, with red, black, and white sets. The floor was like a checkerboard with lit squares. The lighting was harsh white and violently red. It's about the world of the opera, not the reality of it. This production was very emotional.
ELG: What is your response to new technology?
RW: Technology can be your friend, but you still have to have the process, and know how to work with it. You need to apply your ideas to technology and not the other way around. The use of the technology has to be born out of something you want to say. If you want a beam that moves around, okay, that's an idea, now find the technology to match that.
ELG: It seems like you really love what you do.
RW: I do; in fact, I feel privileged, but not compensated enough financially. Artists are still considered a luxury in our society. Our culture is very diverse, but also very narrow in many respects. However, I am happy to do work that challenges people, and affects the way they think. I like the shared experience of theatre. It is important to give back as well as take from one's culture. I work with dancers who cannot afford to pay much, but still do their projects. I wish the arts were considered more important in the world we live in. As a 16-year-old, I saw an event on television and it changed the way I saw the world. What do 16-year-olds see on television today?
ELG: How long have you been on the faculty at NYU?
RW: This is the fifth year, and I teach the first-year graduate students. M.L. Gieger, Allen Lee Hughes, Heather Carson, and Curt Osterman are also on the faculty. We are a very diverse group. Susan Hilferty [design department chair] has recreated the program at NYU. She has brought a fresh energy to the training of young designers.
ELG: You also travel extensively. Do you find that difficult?
RW: As you get older, it gets harder, but one goes where the work is. And when the work is interesting it makes it more worthwhile. But I do spend about 50-70% of the year on the road. This year started off with a very busy month of January. I was in Buffalo working, then flew to Virginia to work on an opera. Then back to New York, where I was in production with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company working on three new pieces, then back to Virginia to premiere the opera. Then to Iowa to premiere the Bill T. Jones piece, then back to New York to premiere the same piece with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Then on February 2 I flew to Los Angeles to work on some Molière plays with actor/director Brian Bedford.
ELG: Does all this travel take a toll on your personal life?
RW: It does, but Michele, my wife, and I try to involve the twins more in what I am doing. We took them out of school for a day for the New York premiere of the Bill T. Jones concert. And when I am at home, we try to separate our private time from my work time, which can be very hard to do sometimes. It's difficult to juggle the roles of professional LD and family, but we have found that putting work aside and spending quality time is extremely important, as well as realizing that with time so distilled the highs seems higher and the lows seem lower, so you try to keep things in perspective. A sense of humor is important. Having a wife that is a therapist is a major plus!
ELG: Your studio is in your home. Do you work with assistants?
RW: Yes, I rely on two assistants very much: Marcus Doshi, a Yale graduate, and Aaron Black, an NYU graduate. They are both fantastic. Both strong, inventive lighting designers which is what I enjoy about them! Depending on the project and what we have to do, they will travel to my studio but they have their own studios as well. In this electronic era, it is very much a virtual office. My agent, Russ Rosensweig, also has a big hand in keeping my professional life in order.
ELG: In spite of all the travel, you make it all sound so enjoyable. What makes it fun?
RW: The people I work with, and what I learn from them. I learn something on every piece. I also like the generosity of spirit in the people I work with. There are certain directors and designers, including Mark Lamos, John Conklin, Jennifer Tipton, Michael Yeargen, Jim Ingalls, and Tazewell Thompson, to name but a few, who make working in the theatre a most rewarding experience, as well as lighting designers Mark McCullough and Jeff Harris, who are my good friends. I still relish it all, and it rarely seems like work. The traveling is hard, and I'd like to be home more with Michele and the twins. You need to balance all that. That is why the Monday evenings with the other LDs are so important. There is only one lighting designer on a production and therefore we rarely get to see each other, to share experiences. This is a nice way to get together and see what their perspectives are. And to stay in touch.

After a short legal battle with the City of Macomb, Steve Wailand is now officially the city's second Ward alderman.
Wailand was sworn in during Monday's city council meeting along with three other newcomers - Ryan Hansen (1st Ward), Clay Hinderliter (5th Ward) and Dennis Moon (alderman at large).
The Liberty Justice Center filed a lawsuit against the city last month on behalf of Wailand after officials refused to declare him the winner of the second ward alderman race last February. Although Wailand received 17 votes compared to opponent Kay Hill's 16 votes, city officials argued that he didn't receive the majority vote.
(Click here to read about the court's decision)
McDonough County Circuit Court Judge Rodney Clark presided over the case and ultimately ruled in favor of Wailand.

On 2 March 1942, the initial acreage required for the establishment of Hammond General Hospital was acquired by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) by fee purchase from the County of Stanislaus with an additional 40 acres acquired on 16 June 1942 by condemnation proceedings against the Modesto Irrigation District. Almost immediately after acquiring the first parcel of land, the USACE began building the 2,540 bed general hospital using standard Quartermaster Corps (who had the U.S. Armys general construction mission prior to 4 December 1941) and USACE 700-, 800-, and 1100-series plans for wood framed wards, clinics, barracks, and support buildings. On the eastern portion of the hospital, a cantonment area using mostly TOS-series buildings was constructed for hospital patient and garrison overflow as well as for Army Ground Forces units training at the hospital. Hammond General Hospital specialized in neurology, general and orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery and psychiatry. On 6 March 1943, the hospital was designated as one of five thoracic surgery centers, and the only one on the West Coast. The center remained at Hammond General Hospital until August 1944 when it was transferred to Baxter General Hospital in Spokane, Washington. Hammond General Hospital also maintained six detention wards for the mentally ill and a prison ward, all of which were surrounded by security fencing.
The hospital was named in honor of Brigadier General William Alexander Hammond (1828-1900), who was appointed as the Surgeon General of the U.S. Army by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862. Hammond energetically began reforming the Medical Department. He eliminated much of the red tape of the prewar service, created the general hospital service, saw that competent medical men were appointed to high-level positions, provided assistance and medical information to surgeons in the field, and oversaw the establishment of an efficient ambulance corps. Hammond also created two large government operated drug laboratories to produce high quality medicines for the army. Hammond could be autocratic and tactless, and he clashed with Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. As a result, Stanton had him court-martialed on a petty charge and dismissed from the army in August 1864. After the Civil War, Hammond was the primary impetus behind the founding of the American Neurological Association and his signature was the first listed on the original membership invitation letter of 1874. Hammond's court-martial was overturned in 1878 by an act of Congress, and he was restored to the rank of brigadier general. He was placed on the retired list the following year and continued his efforts to advance the field of neurology.
In addition to the hospitals permanent garrison, Service Command Unit (SCU) 1975, at least two Army Ground Forces units, the 47th and 77th Field Hospitals, were stationed at Hammond General Hospital prior to their deployment overseas. SCU 1975 was subordinate to the Army Service Forces 9th Service Command headquartered at Fort Douglas, Utah.
By 1945, the Hammond General Hospital was a 2,556-bed facility with approximately 240 buildings and other structures, including 78 wards, clinics, barracks, offices, warehouses, 6 mess halls, pump houses, and utility shops. The building inventory is presented in Table 3-2 and the general layout is shown in figures 3-1 through 3-5.
4,427 linear feet of railway siding that spurs off of Southern Pacific Railroad Fresno Line used for patient and freight transportation; road system consists of 1,796 square yards of paved (bituminous) roads, 18,276 square yards of gravel roads, and 30,286 square yards of paved parking and storage area;
The 31 December 1945 War Department report, Owned, Leased and Sponsored Facilities, Hammond General Hospital is shown to have operated a convalescent section and a 250 man prisoner of war branch camp located near the town of Vernalis. This information is included in this report for operational history purposes only and this site is not otherwise included in this report.
In December 1945 Hammond General Hospital was closed by the U.S. Army. With the closing of the hospital, the State of California set its eyes on the facility as a possible state mental hospital. On 20 December 1945, Governor Earl Warren sent a telegraph to the Federal Surplus Property Administration (after March 1946, the War Assets Administration (WAA)) expressing an interest in acquiring the former Hammond General Hospital for that purpose. On 9 April 1946, the USACE reported the Site as surplus to the needs of the U.S. Army to the WAA who assumed jurisdiction over the Site.
In a letter dated 19 April 1946 to Lieutenant General E.B. Gregory, Chairman of the WAA; General Omar N. Bradley, Director of the Veterans Administration, waived any claim to the hospital, thus clearing the way for the State of California to obtain the Site. On 17 November 1946, the WAA granted a Right of Entry to the State of California to begin the process of converting the former Hammond General Hospital into a state hospital pending a formal transfer of the facility. Through the WAA, the former Hammond General Hospital and its assets (i.e., medical and support equipment) were quitclaim deeded to the State of California on 20 October 1947, who operated it as the Modesto State Hospital under the Department of Mental Hygiene (After 1971, Department of Mental Health) until 1970.
On 6 and 10 August 1970, the State of California
respectively quitclaimed the former Hammond General Hospital/Modesto
State Hospital to the Yosemite Junior College District and the
County of Stanislaus. On 17 March 1947 and 12 October 1978, the
County of Stanislaus quitclaimed two parcels to the Yosemite Junior
College District. The Yosemite Junior College District developed
their portions of the Site into the West Campus of Modesto Junior
College. The County of Stanislaus has developed their portion
of the former Hammond General Hospital/Modesto State Hospital
into a consolidated juvenile justice center.

Dress for Success
Importance of Professional Dress
First impressions DO COUNT when we are evaluating someone, particularly for a professional position. Professional dress is an important component of that first impression. People make assumptions about professional credibility and potential performance based upon appearance during a first meeting, and it is difficult to overcome a first impression, regardless of your knowledge and expertise.
As an interview candidate, you have your foot in the door, but so do all of the other candidates. An interview can distinguish between qualified candidates and the "perfect match." Professional dress is part of that match.
Interview Attire
Professional dress is not just about clothes, but an overall professional appearance. You want an employer to be impressed with your look; however, your clothes should not upstage you in an interview. All attention should be on your interview presentation, not on your clothing and accessories.
The following are dress requirements needed for formal interview attire, as well as suggestions on how to achieve an overall professional look.
For Men and Women
In creative fields such as advertising and the arts, for example, while a suit is always a safe bet you may have some more leeway in selecting a bright colored top. However, when in doubt, ALWAYS err towards formal and conservative dress. It is better to be overdressed than underdressed.
For men, beards and other facial hair should be neatly trimmed. Also
aware that some industries and organizations may frown on long hair or
facial hair.
Professional Items Can Include:
A tablet or some type of notebook to take notes or jot down
A good pen or pencil
At least one copy of your résumé and list of your references
Personal Items Can Include:
Wallet & Car Keys
Breath mints
Dressing on a Budget: Helpful Hints for College Students Wanting to Look Professional with Limited Funds
Looking professional does not necessarily mean expensive. Of course
there is some expense to buying professional interview attire, but you
can learn some easy lessons to shopping that can save you a considerable
amount of money while still looking good.
Do Not Buy Interview Attire When You Need It
Buy "Seasonless" Clothing
Invest in the Right Pieces
Good for Birthdays, Holidays, Graduation, etc...
Business Casual
Many students get confused by the difference between formal, interview attire and business casual. Defined, business casual is professional clothing that is not as formal as the interview suite. Many times an organization will state that an event is "business casual;" however, if you are unsure of the dress, ALWAYS err to the more formal and conservative.
For men, a pair of khakis or slacks and a button down shirt or
sweater define business casual.
Remember, the key is to look polished and professional. You should not draw attention to a specific area of clothing or accessory; thus, the same rules for hair, makeup, jewelry and all accessories apply to business casual just as they do with formal, interview attire.
Frequently Asked Questions
I have never bought a suit or professional dress wear
before and do not know where to even start.
I am interviewing with a very casual company that
typically does not wear suits as a standard of dress to work. Should I
still wear a suit or should I wear something more casual to blend in?
However, it is appropriate to dress less formal if the company specifically tells you not to dress formally. For example, in arranging a dinner interview, a company representative may let you know that the dress code is business casual, which is your signal that it's okay to dress in business casual.
I just got my interview agenda and I am scheduled to stay
and interview all day at the organization. Is this going to have an
effect on what I wear?
I have an interview and the weather forecast is snow.
What should I do?

Since my daughter was born nearly three years ago, I haven't traveled much. So it was with a lot of excitement that I boarded a flight this morning to attend a conference in Portland, OR.
Ever since I was a kid (remember when you still got little plastic wings instead of a full body scan?) I have loved flying. At 14 I was lucky enough to take some flying lessons and I've never fallen out of love with the science of flight, nor have I lost my appreciation for the physics of it.
Lift. Thrust. Weight. Drag. It seems so simple... just four small words. But, the mechanics of flight are nothing short of amazing.
Right now, I'm inside an aluminum frame that is capable of lifting and holding 154,500 pounds of weight in to the air while cruising at 593mph thanks to two massive high-pressure turbofans producing 49,200lbs of forward thrust.

70 days. A delicious pepper with 4-inch long tapered, pimiento type fruit that are super sweet. This fine pepper is early and ripens well in the north. A flavorful favorite with thick, red flesh.

What are the pros? Easy to roast and skin.
What are the cons? Too many to eat!
I started these in a heated seed box and transferred to cells. I put them out after frost on drip and under black plastic for greater root heat. What an amazing producer! We had more than we could process on the 20 plants we grew. Best part is that they are so easy to process: Cut off tops and remove seeds. Lay on cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Turn off oven leaving peppers inside oven until fairly cool. The skins will be dry and the yummy flesh just squeezes out like toothpaste! Put them in freezer jam jars for freezing. Roasted red pepper soup all winter. I will be better prepared next year to save these sweet rich flavored peppers.

What are the pros?
What are the cons?
Planted indoors in March, moved outside in May here in Northern Illinois. Had about a 75 % germination rate. Plants were hearty and stood up to our high winds, extreme temperatures, and drought, which made this summer absolutely a nightmare. The plants lost all their leaves twice due to the winds, but they cam back strong, with thick stems, dense leaves, and lots of peppers. I pulled the flower up until June, in order to ensure a strong flush of peppers. When they came, we got wonderful peppers. One of the best things we did with them was to make lots of creamy red pepper and tomato soup on Sundays and for guests. They were also great in salads, grilled, on pizza, or as a snack. We are preparing to can the last of them for the winter to use on Italian beef sandwiches when the weather gets cool again. Will definitely grow these again.

Excellent producer. We had tons of beautiful, sweet red peppers. I grew them in a small, plastic covered home-made greenhouse, and they produced their first pepper about the time we harvested our first tomato (tomatoes were not in greenhouse). Good for short growing season.

I planted many pepper varieties. This was one of two varieties that did not sun burn. Most of my peppers were devistated by sunburn last year. A wonderful pepper.

U.K. Lawyers Long for Offices in India
Posted Nov 21, 2007 3:39 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Attorneys at major law firms in the United Kingdom are notably unhappy about their inability to open offices in India, and will continue to press for permission to establish a presence there, a London newspaper says.
Eager to work on cross-border deals, London lawyers at big firms long for offices in India, reports the London Times. But, although India is known as a center for outsourcing legal work from other countries, the organized bar there opposes a plan by foreign lawyers to put on a fast track efforts to liberalize the country's rules on practice by non-Indian attorneys, as discussed in an earlier ABAJournal.com post.
"In their quest to grow revenues and profits, European firms are disappointed to be missing out on an increasing amount of lucrative work coming out of India," the Times writes. "With estimates of annual growth ranging between 7 and 9 percent, its economy is one of the fastest-growing in the world. Even more importantly, the type of economic activity that European law firms are likely to profit from is growing even faster."
Although legal work outsourced to India has historically been less-skilled, lower-end tasks, that may be starting to change. Hollywood reportedly has recently begun sending more challenging legal work there, as noted in another ABAJournal.com post.
Without local law offices in India, outsourcing legal work there potentially poses ethical issues for U.S. lawyers who do so, as discussed in a recent Professional Lawyer article.

Former University of Alabama professor and Neurobiologist Amy Bishop, 47, has decided to challenge the guilty verdict and life sentence she received after opening fire at a faculty staff meeting on February 12, 2010, killing three of her colleagues and wounding three others. On September 11, 2012, Bishop accepted a plea deal to avoid the death pentaly. She pleaded guilty, changing her original plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. Given the seriousness of the case, a jury trial was still required by Alabama law, after which she received a life sentence.
Now Bishop has decided to appeal the verdict and the sentence, a right she waived in the plea deal. Her attorneys filed documents with the court on November 5, and, not surprisingly, have asked to be removed from the case. Bishop is reportedly requesting a new tax-payer funded attorney. Given the terms of the deal she made, it is unclear if her challenge will be allowed to proceed.
An appeal in Alabama would probably delay extradition proceedings for the 1986 shooting of her brother Seth Bishop in Massachusetts.
Deadly Professor Amy Bishop Pleads Guilty

McLEAN, Va. — Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said Wednesday that the courts ultimately will have to determine the legality of surveillance programs by the National Security Agency.
And he's not sure that's a good thing in an era of complex security threats against the United States.
Scalia told the Northern Virginia Technology Council that questions about how much information the NSA can collect about Americans' telephone calls and under what circumstances the agency can monitor conversations are best answered by the elected branches of government.
But he said that the Supreme Court took that power for itself in 1960s-era expansions of privacy rights, including prohibitions on wiretapping without a judge's approval.
"The consequence of that is that whether the NSA can do the stuff it's been doing ... which used to be a question for the people ... will now be resolved by the branch of government that knows the least about the issues in question, the branch that knows the least about the extent of the threat against which the wiretapping is directed," he said.
Scalia did not raise the issue in his speech, but instead responded to a question about it. He repeatedly used the term "wiretap" in his comments, but indicated later that he was speaking more generally about NSA surveillance, including the massive collection of Americans' phone records.
In July, following the disclosures by NSA leaker Edward Snowden about the extent of the agency's surveillance programs, the Electronic Privacy Information Center asked the Supreme Court directly to bar NSA from collecting phone call records on millions of U.S. customers. The court has not yet decided whether to hear the case.
Civil liberties groups also have filed lawsuits challenging the program as a violation of Americans' privacy.
Earlier this year, the Court ruled in a 5-4 vote that clients represented by the American Civil Liberties Union lacked standing to challenge a 2008 law under which the NSA conducts aspects of its surveillance. Scalia voted with the majority to turn away that challenge to the law.

The Canning Stock Route was originally created by Albert Canning in 1908 for Kimberley cattlemen to take their stock to the southern markets. Covering some 51 wells and stretching 2,013 kilometres from Halls Creek to Wiluna, the Canning Stock Route now forms one of the most remote and challenging four wheel drive tracks in the world.
Those wishing to tackle the route should be extremely well prepared before setting out. Outback travel experience is required in conjunction with a very reliable and capable vehicle that has been specifically prepared for remote, long distance desert travel. Your vehicle will need to be extensively prepared for remote area travel, with all fuel, water, food, vehicle repair equipment and spare parts.
The route can be traversed either way from June to September, but access is totally weather dependant.
All vehicles, whether private or in commercial tours, are required to hold permits for travelling on the Canning Stock Route. Travellers should note that even with a permit, access is restricted to several sites, some located within the Canning Stock Route reserve.
Permits are available through the Western Desert Lands Aboriginal Corporation and the Australian National Four Wheel Drive Council (ANFWDC).

If you can spare $50 to help some young people in Purvis, you could be the next owner of a rare, classic car. Saturday, a drawing will be held during the Dixie Youth state tournament for a 1928 Ford Model-A tudor sedan.
It's the grand prize in a raffle to help pay for the building of two new baseball fields at the Purvis Youth Sports Complex.
Purvis Jewelry donated the car.
Tickets can still be bought at the Youth Sports Complex right up until the drawing at 12 p.m. They are $50 each.
"I really hope it's somebody who appreciates what they're getting," said Aaron Lott, owner of Purvis Jewelry and member of the board of directors of Purvis Youth Sports. "The '28 Model-A is kind of hard to come by nowadays. It's the first year they were made. So, it's a special car," he said.
Ticket sales began in March.

Who is Vanessa? - Google Earth Sleuthing
Another one of those mystery views from a satellite photo in Google Earth. Someone at the Google Earth Community noticed a womans name and "phone number" written in 12-meter tall letters on the ground near Belo Horizonte, Brazil. You can view the location here. So, the poster asked why someone would do this? Somone speculated maybe a real estate developer (based on the nearby development). Then, about 2 months later someone called 'jfjunior' posted he had done some Google searching and discovered "Vanessa 45444" was an MPP candidate, or in Portuguese a "Candidato a Deputada Estadual". Apparently the photo is from 2002, because 45444 was the number she used during that election. It amazes me how the Internet enables you to find out about almost anything odd you may see if enough people look into it. There's now almost 500,000 registered members at the GEC forums. And for every registered user there is usually 15-20 people not registered viewing the forums.

Here's even more useless information about Vanessa:
According to this page:
"VANESSA LUCAS 45444" is listed as VANESSA DE OLIVEIRA DIAS.
And then on this page:
we find that Vanessa de Oliveira Dias is also known as VANESSA LUCAS (the name in the field in Google Earth).
And then a quick search will lead you to Vanessa Lucas' official government page here:
And on that page, you can even see a photo of Vanessa (kinda cute!):

Bell Helicopter delivered the 100th copy of a planned total of 349 H-1 helicopters during a ceremony at its Amarillo Assembly Center earlier this year. The U.S. Marine Corps H-1 helicopter program comprises both the UH-1Y utility helicopter and the AH-1Z attack helicopters.
Wednesday will be a big day for helicopter OEMs and could shape the future of the industry for decades to come, when Phase One proposals are due into the Army Aviation Applied Technology Directorate. The proposals will likely lead to the construction of Joint Multi-role demonstration aircraft (JMR TD) that could fly as early as 2017, with the start of production expected between 2025 and 2030.
While it looks forward to accepting its first TAI/AgustaWestland T129 attack helicopter, Turkey is urgently seeking interim helicopter gunships in the face of increased terrorist actions by the PKK and other Kurdish separatist groups. The situation has become desperate as Turkey's current force of Bell AH-1W Cobras has fallen to just six operational aircraft, plus a few earlier single-engine Cobras.
