Riding Trains and Ferries in Ireland and France
By Jaclyn C. Stevenson
Thanks to my Eurail Selectpass, the last eight days have been very eventful: I saw a 360-degree view of Dublin, Ireland and hung upside-down atop an ancient castle. I visited the cultural capital of Europe and got acquainted with nine popes.
And those are just a few of the activities I indulged in while deviating from the predetermined schedule.
But those careful itineraries can subtract some of the joie de vivre that attracts most people to the continent in the first place. Hidden nooks are missed, little is left to chance, and the thrill of not knowing what is around the next corner is bypassed.
Travel by rail, though, and Europe can become your veritable oyster. Gone are those stuffy, detailed schedules, replaced by one ticket and countless possibilities, all accessible at any time by hopping a train and watching the world whiz by. Where it stops, nobody knows.
The Rail Trail
Rail travel is also simplified by purchasing Eurail tickets, as the passes link the various rail systems of Europe together through one pass. Travelers can buy point-to-point tickets (Eurailtickets), or passes valid for an extended period of time in a number of countries (Eurailpasses and Eurail Selectpasses); the latter vary based on the pass purchased.
A traveler could buy 15-day Eurailpass, good for travel within any three-month period, for instance, and use the same pass in 17 different European countries including most of the western European countries, Norway, Sweden, and Finland, and some countries in the eastern part of the continent, including newly-added Romania, for about $588 U.S. dollars. Passes for longer travel periods are also available.
Riding the rails allows for more exploration of a country than a car or bus tour can offer, and can also abbreviate the space between towns and cities, creating day trips out of visits that otherwise would require an overnight stay and plenty of driving.
My journey across Ireland and France began at sunset overlooking the ocean adjacent to Ireland's Eye, a small island that also serves as a bird sanctuary.
Using Dublin as the hub of a wheel with many spokes, the next day began bright and early at Heuston station, where my Selectpass began its transcontinental workout. Carefully penning the date into the first box on the 15-day pass, I boarded an Irish Rail train to Cork, just under three hours away from Dublin by rail.
The city announces the honor of serving as the continent's cultural capital at every corner, festooning buildings with bright, orange flags and posters that point to the crown jewels of Cork's rich cultural canvas.
Also moments away are Cobh (pronounced cove), where the Titanic made its last stop before meeting its tragic end, and Fota Island, home to the Fota House and unusually hearty soil, which allows everything from fuschia plants to banana trees to grow right in the heart of Ireland.
On the train back to Dublin, that color only fades with the sun, and is soon replaced by city lights and the raucous nightlife on the banks of the River Liffey and Temple Bar, where Irish music filters out of every doorway.
There are several cultural highlights within Dublin that can fuel an entire day of sightseeing for those who wish to steer clear of the more famous tourist attractions. Its literary aspects alone can be explored through guided tours that are a far cry from the usual staid walking tours of other vacations. The Dublin Literary Pub Crawl, for instance, allows for two hours of guided exploration of the city jam packed with historical and literary information surrounding the city's famous writers.
Exploration of any country can't begin and end within its capital city, however, lest travelers miss some of the subtle nuances of a country's culture. Thus, after imbibing a little fermented knowledge on the Literary Pub Crawl it was on to the region of Wexford and to the town of the same name, in the southeast of Ireland, by taking a two-hour train ride to one of Ireland's cobble-stoned towns overlooking the ocean.
Wexford epitomizes some of the things many of us associate with Ireland … green, open spaces, small pubs on every corner, and inside those pubs, groups of men singing the traditional songs of Ireland, huddled closely around an oak table, crooning in perfect Irish tenors with a pint in one hand.
My Kingdom for a Crepe!
Trains from Cherbourg stop St. Lazare with a short metro hook-up to Gare de Lyon, where a small snack could be grabbed for a walking or metro-tour of the city.
But unlike most train stations, Gare de Lyon has a hidden gem adjacent to the TGV (high-speed train) tracks: Le Train Bleu, a five-star restaurant with frescoed, cathedral ceilings and a flair for fine dining.
Adjacent to the cathedral is an addition to the palace that serves as a showcase for many of the wines of the Cote du Rhone region, which stretches from Avignon north to the town of Lyon. Here, in "The Pope's Wine Cellar," visitors can sit for a tasting or purchase a bottle of one of the more famous wines (at prices that would never be found state-side), including Muscat (a sweet dessert wine), several hearty reds, and some light whites, including Chateau-neuf-de-Pape.
MP3 players offer the same helpful hints without the visual component. In addition, for those hoping to zoom around town on something more unique than a 10-speed bike, the tourism office in Dijon also rents Segways – upright, mobile units with two wheels and push button controls – that allow for easy navigation and guard against sore walking feet.

The Whitecaps had more of the territorial advantage throughout much of the first half, but the older Boise Capitals side would draw level on 26 minutes when a shot found the top right-hand corner of the Whitecaps goal.The Idaho club then put the game away with two goals from through balls in the space of three second-half minutes.The Whitecaps created chances to get back into the game in the second half, but facing the strong Idaho winds proved too much of a challenge on the day.Starting line-up v Boise Capitals U-17Gurveen Clair; Katherine Caverly (Nikki Ambrose 55'), Emily Frazer, Sydney Morrison (Nikki Segovia 40'), Karm Jawandah (Jenny Dunn 65'); Jessa Joles, Nicole Setterlund (Taylor Shannik 55'), Taylor Shannik (Tejvir Malhi 40'), Jenny Dunn (Emily Yamaguchi 25'); Maryse Reichgeld, Jaclyn Sawicki (Melissa Horahan 35')

LA GRANGE — North Lenoir's boys basketball team won just three games last season.
It's taken only nine games this year to turn things around.
The Hawks (6-3), who host former conference rival Farmville Central tonight, have won five in a row and have done so with a swarming pressure defense and a high basketball IQ.
"We've had a big turnaround in my second year back," North Lenoir coach Anthony Loftin said. "We had a very big summer where we worked on a lot.
"They've played some real good basketball lately."
Loftin said he took "about eight" players to a camp at East Carolina last summer in hopes of finding an identity for his team defensively.
What he found out was that his team was long and athletic enough to play the full length of the court.
"We learned we could play some man-to-man and trap and stuff like that," Loftin said.
"Once we came back … they bought into the system."
The system is pretty basic: Always have two guys on the basketball and another in the passing lane. Get a steal, then push it up the court.
Even Loftin, who is known by "Copperhead" to most, admits it's an easy system to grasp.
"We try to break it down real simple," he said. "We tell them to contest every shot, every rebound, every loose ball, and go for that. We feel like that's the key in the things we do."
North Lenoir, which began last season by losing its first 18 games, hosts a Jaguars team tonight that is unbeaten with one of those wins coming against the Hawks.
Farmville Central (8-0) defeated North Lenoir 67-57 on Nov. 28, and did so after jumping out to near-20-point lead only a handful of minutes in.
The Hawks were able to whittle that lead down to a point in the second half, Loftin said, and had a chance to take the lead but a turnover sparked an 8-0 run by the Jaguars to put it away.
"We just didn't play," Loftin said. "When we finally decided to play after we regrouped, we came back and made a good run at it."
That was the last loss — the final in three consecutive defeats — North Lenoir has suffered since. Its string of five straight wins has been predicated on defense, which forces more than 20 turnovers per game on average.
"They were disappointed after that. They know we play better than that," Loftin said.
"You gain playing time by playing defense. It's not about how many 3s you can hit or what you can do on offense. Everybody's required to play defense."

SEATTLE (AP) -- Ken Griffey Jr. will be inducted into the Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame as its seventh member.
The Mariners announced the induction Tuesday. Griffey's ceremony will take place Aug. 10 before the Mariners face the Milwaukee Brewers.
Griffey spent 13 of his 22 seasons in the majors with the Mariners. He was drafted by Seattle in 1987, made his debut at the major league level two years later and went on to have one of the finest careers in baseball history. Griffey finished with 630 home runs -- sixth all-time -- and was a 13-time All-Star and the 1997 American League MVP.
Like all Mariners fans, I consider it a privilege to have watched Ken Griffey Jr. grow up before us to become one of the greatest players in baseball and a true gentleman. He was a naturally gifted athlete who played the game with pure joy, said Chuck Armstrong, Mariners President and COO.
After time in Cincinnati and Chicago, Griffey returned to Seattle in 2009-10, his final game coming on June, 2, 2010.
Griffey is near the top in every offensive category in the Mariners record book including:
*Home Runs - 1st
*Slugging Percentage - 2nd
*RBIs - 2nd
*Hits - 3rd
*Doubles - 2nd
*Total Bases - 2nd
*Runs - 3rd
*Games - 3rd
*At-bats - 3rd
Griffey has spent the past two seasons as a special consultant to the franchise.
He will join the six current members of the Mariners Hall of Fame: Alvin Davis, Dave Niehaus, Jay Buhner, Edgar Martinez, Randy Johnson and Dan Wilson.

Steve Gill said he and his classmates simply did what needed to be done.
Gill, along with 19 others, recently renovated the Onslow Women's Center as part of a leadership class through the Jacksonville-Onslow Chamber of Commerce.
The project, which started in January and ended in May, gave the volunteers a new perspective, required hard work and helped them bond with the local community.
"A lot of the people had never been to a women's shelter, so they maybe think about what they've seen on TV or what they've heard … You come in not knowing what to expect," Gill, the project chair, said.
Gill said he and his classmates tried to put themselves in the center residents' shoes.
"I think that helped us put into perspective what … to focus on to make it more comfortable and more inviting to someone and for someone to feel secure and safe and just kind of relax," he said.
The Leadership Jacksonville-Onslow class runs every year from August to May and brings together leaders from various professions throughout the community.
"We are trying to develop community leadership … they come to this program to learn about the community," said Janet Bowen, the chamber's director of operations and government affairs who also facilitates the program.
By November, each class selects a community project. The pick this year was renovating the Onslow Women's Center, which provides a safe place for women and children to stay when they are recovering from sexual assault or domestic violence. The center houses 10 bedrooms with a bathroom between every two rooms.
"We saw there was a need for carpet, paint, furniture, appliances, several things," Gill said.
They started labor first, which classmate Christina Fernandez said was physically demanding.
"Power washing," Fernandez said with a laugh. "My arms and my hands, I couldn't lift them."
Fernandez said the class asked local businesses for donations to help the cost of the renovations.
"This community is very good about coming together when it needs to, so I knew we would have support, I just didn't realize the amount of support we would get," Fernandez said.
Gill said most every company they approached was willing to help.
One of the first tasks in renovation was to replacing the window tinting which is used to help protect the identities of the workers and guests inside.
"If you're there for spouse abuse reasons, and someone comes looking trying to find you, they can see right in," Gill said. "We had that replaced, and it was perfect timing, because the very next day, that happened."
Next the class renovated a room with water damage. They replaced the carpet with the help of Shepards Floors, repainted with paint and plaster donated by Lowe's Home Improvement ; Roddy Williams worked the oak trim; and Beyond Blinds donated custom fit blinds.
They continued into the hallways, where Watkins Flooring re-carpeted. They ripped up the carpet in the foyer and All About Floors installed tile. They replaced the tile in the laundry room. The class put fresh coats of primer and paint in the foyer.
The class worked a cumulative 600 hours on the project from January through May. Gill said it took a while to complete the project when most people were coming to volunteer in the evening hours or on Saturdays after leaving their regular jobs.
The last tasks included planting approximately $1,000 worth of plants from Grant's Creek Nursery to build a hedge and help conceal the center from passersby and to improve drainage underneath the building.
"There was also standing water underneath the building," Gill said. "It just had really poor drainage."
The class installed a pump and drainage lines underneath the center to pump the standing water into the nearby woods to keep the standing water from building up. They also fit vents in the crawl space to keep it dry.
Gill said along with construction donations, they also received donations to improve the quality of life within with items such as towels and toiletry kits donated by the Walmart on
"This project showed me really what community is all about," said 1st Lt. Sarah Burns, a Camp Lejeune Marine and a member of the class. "The renovations we did on the inside and outside of the building couldn't have happened without the support from the community in providing monetary and material donations for the items needed to make the shelter a place of comfort."
The class collected approximately $4,700 in cash donations, which they then used on a new dryer and washer. The remaining funds, just over $1,700, they gave to the center to use at its discretion.
"There are a lot of people who say they are in community, and people who demonstrate they are in community," Onslow Women's Center Executive Director Junie Christian said. "All I can say is that they have demonstrated the true meaning of community and unselfishness."
Citizens in the community who wish to participate in the upcoming Leadership Jacksonville-Onslow class, which starts in August, can apply with the Jacksonville-Onslow Chamber of Commerce. Applications are due in July.

Tom Hood's curator insight, May 22, 4:55 AM
Research says that we can thrive from traumatic change as much as we can be setback from it. More and more we find ourselves in the midst of transformation in this VUCA world. This article gives some great perspectives on this. Love this graphic! Enjoy!
"Many people in organizations find that change provides both challenges and opportunities, but often the negative part can overshadow the positive outcome at the other side of the change moment. And yet, change is a constant, in both life and work. How can we learn to navigate the emotions change brings up more positively, so that growth can be the outcome?" Tim continues, "Change is growth, it is never meant to take us down. Companionship enables us to handle change far better."

Karen Dietz's curator insight, May 13, 11:17 AM
Now here's a piece coming from the worlds of creativity and education about the necessity for storytelling -- but it is directly applicable to business.
As you read the article by Menno van Dijk, Laurie Kemp, whenever the words "education" or "school" are mentioned, simply substitute the word "business" and you'll get their points.
The authors discuss research from the journal of Creativity And Innovation Management. The focus of the research was how storytelling skills build creativity and innovation abilities. There's even a link to the original research article that you can download for free.
And a business's competitive edge today is in creativity and innovation, right? In fact, that's the competitive edge for the US economy in the global marketplace.
The research focuses on storytelling in schools. But if it's good for students, it's good for business.
The take away? If you are in business of any size, training in storytelling could be a key to your sustainable future. If you are a consultant or coach, adding storytelling skills to your repertoire could keep your pipeline fed (but get trained in storytelling first, please).
Storytelling, creativity, innovation -- go forth and prosper!

Allan Shaw's curator insight, May 24, 2:33 AM
This post by DCulberhouse is interesting. The Paradox of Chaos is an apt title - change, doubt and confusion on one hand and opportunity for invention on the other.
However, in dealing with children and parents one needs to be very careful. A stable emotional environment is vital to build confidence in children. Thus the values that underpin operations need to be explicit and maintained. The partnership with parents must be developed, nurtured and maintained.
The greater understanding of how children learn, the influences of digital technologies and broader societal changes are all bringing pressures to bear, challenges to tackle and advantageous opportunities for schools.
Our challenge as educational leaders is to keep the values and human interactions stable and positive, analyse and take advantage of the opportunities as they arise and carefully explain these opportunities to parents as they develop.

"The truth will set us free," there is no doubt that the technologies of information and communication technologies (ICT) are a two-edged sword, we must use the edge to help grow the company. It will help us see the video:
"Ex-CIA spy, Robert Steele, presents his vision of a New Story which has 'Open Source Everything' as its basis. We need to create a world brain - a deliberative dialogue world brain and become citizen intelligence 'Minutemen'. We are at the end of an era in which lies can be used to steal from the public and the Commons. We are at the beginning of an era in which truth in public service can restore us all to a state of grace."

In the latest episode of 'From The Field' from PNN, Paramore visit the beautiful city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on The Vans Warped Tour. But Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers were coming here as early as the late 1600s to trade with the Native Americans. In fact, "Milwaukee" is actually pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "The Good Land." Were you aware of that?

Sports scientist Ross Tucker says the Sharks have a realistic chance of beating the Chiefs in Hamilton.
While there is still a Super Rugby final to be played on Saturday, many would agree that the Sharks have already exceeded expectations.
After a stuttering start to their league campaign (which included five defeats in their opening nine fixtures), a strong finish saw them finish in the top six. They did the job during the wildcard qualifier in Brisbane, powering to a 30-17 victory over 2011 champions the Reds. They defied odds in the semi-finals by travelling across the Indian Ocean for the second time in a space of week to give the Stormers their first defeat at Newlands this season with a 26-19 victory.
So how do we rate the Sharks' chances in the final? Sure, they've hit a purple patch of form, but how much does all the travelling really affect this?
Tucker's analysis, which includes Super Rugby records from the past seven years, states that playing at home gives a team a five-point advantage, while travel overseas gives you a five-point disadvantage. This study puts the Sharks at a 15-point disadvantage, considering their travel to Hamilton was their third trip across the Indian Ocean in two weeks.
'I don't mean 15 points in the literal sense, which many people have interpreted it.' Tucker told keo.co.za. 'But theoretically … in the sense that the Sharks would have to perform that much better than they would've if they were playing at home. There's no absolute rating as anything can happen on the day, but this study gives a fan some view to weigh the odds.
'Guess the score for Saturday's match, then guess it again, but this time, try to do the hypothetical exercise of imagining that the Sharks are not away from home and that they haven't had to travel three times in two weeks. If your score is different, then you have factored in the travel effect. How much of an effect is found in how different your answers are. The history of the tournament says it is about 15 points. Think of it as a "cost" of traveling.'
Some pundits have already written the Sharks' chances off as the Super Rugby title decider is seen as a step too far.
Seven-time champions the Crusaders fell short in a similar scenario last season, after they beat the Sharks in the wildcard play-offs in Nelson before downing the Stormers in the semis in Cape Town. They went on to lose the final 18-13 to the Reds at Suncorp Stadium.
However, Tucker believes the Durban franchise can defy the odds once more.
'The win over the Stormers was a major psychological boost,' he said. 'The Stormers were favourites as they were playing at home and had rest, while the Sharks had the setbacks of travel. But you can never discount form. The Sharks' players are playing superb rugby individually and their combinations are gelling really well. This will give them the belief that they can do it again … one more time… in Hamilton. The Super Rugby title will be a huge motivator.
'But while form can't be discounted, you have to admit that travelling back and forth and such great distances will take its toll. Players have to adapt to certain time zones, then re-adapt, and re-adapt again. It's a tiring process. [Head coach] John Plumtree will need to manage his players really well and allow them enough rest. He will also need to focus on sleeping hours and diets – those 1% factors that can make a difference.
'In terms of preparation, Plumtree doesn't have to develop anything new heading into the final, so he shouldn't use training drills that will drain his players during the week. With the correct management plan, the Sharks can surprise many people.'
However, Tucker stressed that a strong start to the match will be needed.
'Against the Stormers, the Sharks began to tired in the last 15-10 minutes of the match. That's when the Stormers started cutting the deficit and nearly came back. Against the Chiefs, the Sharks will need to build a lead. It will be a tough task, but it would put them in a strong position.
'At the end of the day, the Sharks will know that they only need to get through 80 minutes. They might discard certain factors, but at the end of the day, this is what sportsmen live for. They can't avoid the challenge, they can only overcome it. In the final, they'll try and set the tempo early on and follow through with it.'

ELIDA — An Elida High School freshman was in custody Tuesday expected to be charged in connection with a threat made on Twitter to bomb and shoot up her school.
The girl, who is 14, was expected to be charged with inducing panic. Depending on the section of law she is charged under, the crime could be as high as a second-degree felony, officials said.
No one was injured and the girl never made it to school Tuesday, said Chief Deputy Jimmy Everett of the Allen County Sheriff's Office.
The girl, whose name was not released, could appear at a hearing in Allen County Juvenile Court as early as 1 p.m. Wednesday, officials said.
"She's being held at the Allen County Juvenile Detention center," Everett said.
Sheriff investigators became aware of the plot when an out-of-state computer investigator conducting research came across the threat on Twitter. The investigator notified Allen County Sheriff officials at 6 a.m. Tuesday, Everett said.
"She made several threats on a Twitter account about harming students at Elida High School," Everett said.
By 7 a.m. deputies were at the girl's home, before she even had a chance to go to school. They took her into custody. Sheriff investigators have since talked to the girl and are continuing to investigate to learn more about her ability to carry out the threat, Everett said.
"Every threat like this you have to take seriously," he said.
Investigators have not found any bombs, explosives or guns that girl would have had access to. They also have not found any information to indicate she had chosen a date to carry out the plot, Everett said.
Still, the matter is being fully investigated because of the serious nature of the threats involving a school, Everett said.
"What it looks like, the student was making threats trying to get suspended for the rest of the school year," Everett said.
Elida Superintendent Don Diglia said the Sheriff's Office contacted school officials immediately after receiving information on the threat. Investigators made the choice to locate the girl and take her into custody before school started for the day, Diglia said.
Diglia sent an email to staff informing them of all the information he had in case pupils asked about the incident. A short time later, he sent out a text alert to parents and anyone signed up for the alerts, telling them briefly about the incident while referring them to the Elida schools website for information to make sure the correct information was out, he said.
"Rumors started going around pretty quickly," he said.
The district has 2,600 pupils of which 780 attend the high school, Diglia said.
Diglia expects the girl will be suspended and then expelled, he said.
"There certainly will be something coming. We need to get some additional information so we can act appropriate," he said.
Diglia said the girl's disciplinary record at Elida Schools is minimal and she was not on the radar as a troubled student.
"Not a lot of history as far as student discipline. Certainly nothing of a violent nature," he said.
The school was not placed in lockdown because she was in custody before the school day started, Diglia said.
Everett said the main concern is student safety, which means such threats will carry heavy penalties.
"When something like this comes up, you throw everything at it, take it seriously and get it resolved as soon as possible," he said.
Authorities said there does not appear to be any connection with an incident at Elida Middle School last month in which a 13-year-old boy brought knives to school to carry out a plot of killing staff and pupils. The boy was stopped in the principal's office when he decided to tell the principal instead of stabbing him. That boy has been expelled from Elida schools. His case is pending in the juvenile justice system.
Diglia did not have a lot to say about two recent plots at Elida schools, saying it was premature to tie either one together in anyway.
"If parents have any concerns, please give me a call. We are doing everything we can to make sure their students are safe," he said.

Overview of content related to 'thesaurus'
This page provides an overview of 1 article related to 'thesaurus'. Note that filters may be applied to display a sub-set of articles in this category (see FAQs on filtering for usage tips). Select this link to remove all filters.
A thesaurus is a reference work that lists words grouped together according to similarity of meaning (containing synonyms and sometimes antonyms), in contrast to a dictionary, which contains definitions and pronunciations. In Information Science, Library Science, and Information Technology, specialized thesauri are designed for information retrieval. They are a type of controlled vocabulary, for indexing or tagging purposes. Such a thesaurus can be used as the basis of an index for online material. The Art and Architecture Thesaurus, for example, is used to index the Canadian Information retrieval thesauri are formally organized so that existing relationships between concepts are made explicit. As a result, they are more complex than simpler controlled vocabularies such as authority lists and synonym rings. Each term is placed in context, allowing a user to distinguish between "bureau" the office and "bureau" the furniture. Following international standards, they are generally arranged hierarchically by themes, topics or facets. Unlike a literary thesaurus, these specialized thesauri typically focus on one discipline, subject or field of study. In information technology, a thesaurus represents a database or list of semantically orthogonal topical search keys. In the field of Artificial Intelligence, a thesaurus may sometimes be referred to as an ontology. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Thesaurus)

I referred to authenticity in conjunction with happiness. Other than that, I am typically more concerned with what is than with what should be. Sam Harris has some ideas about how happiness/suffering might be worth looking into in developing standards for ethical conduct; HampsteadPete's remarks about Confucian reciprocity got me farther into this thread. I have already expressed some opinions about these ideas. I tend to agree with them.
Here's how you and I got into this tiff:
[quote author="Parable"]SaltCreek,
Many of us think it should be easy to come up with morality which improves on the dyspeptic ruminations of a bunch of sheepherders and weed eaters barely out of the Stone Age.
What are your suggestions for a viable morality, in a nutshell?
Pete responded to you, and you picked a fight with him.
Why the eff are you bringing in viability, as if somehow you are the judge of what might be "viable"? My remarks are not about "viability" but about improvement, meaning something which "improves" on the Bible's "dyspeptic ruminations". You pick your fights in subtle ways, Parasite, but that doesn't make you any less of a prick, oozing absolutist sanctimony like some case of philosophical blue balls.

OTOH, we don't want to be the downers on the block - so we're handing out glow bracelets and multi-colored led glowies (think throwies but with a pin instead of a magnet, and a more interesting led).

Animal Species:Longfin Eel, Anguilla reinhardtii Steindachner, 1867
The Longfin Eel is a large, primarily carnivorous fish that has a broad head, and a large mouth with fleshy lips.
Standard Common Name
Longfin Eel
Alternative Name/s
Australian Longfinned Eel, Conger Eel, Freshwater Eel, Marbled Eel, River Eel, Spotted Eel
The Longfinned Eel has well developed pectoral fins, a broad head, and a large mouth with fleshy lips. It can be distinguished from the similar-looking Shortfinned Eel, Anguilla australis, by the length of the dorsal fin. The dorsal fin origin of the Longfinned Eel is well forward of the anal fin origin, whereas the dorsal fin origin of the Shortfinned Eel is above the anal fin origin. The two species also differ in dentition and colouration. The Longfinned Eel usually has olive or brown blotches above and on the sides, fading to pale on the belly. The median fins are brown and the pectoral fins are often yellowish. The Shortfinned Eel is usually a uniform colour and does not have a blotched pattern.
Size range
Landlocked Longfin Eels (those that cannot return to sea, due to physical barriers) can grow to 3 m in length and weigh 22 kg. The species is usually seen at much smaller sizes than this, often about 1m. Males are smaller than females.
The species occurs in Australia, New Caledonia and New Zealand. In Australia, it is known from the entire coastal margin of eastern Australia from Cape York to Melbourne and also from northern and eastern Tasmania and Lord Howe Island.
The map below shows the Australian distribution of the species based on public sightings and specimens in Australian Museums. Click on the map for detailed information. Source: Atlas of Living Australia.
Distribution by collection data
Ozcam map of Longfin Eel specimens in the Australian Museums.
The Longfinned Eel lives in rivers, lakes and swamps, but appears to prefer flowing water.
Life cycle
Longfinned Eels undergo a remarkable migration to sea to breed. Adult Longfinned Eels swim downstream to the sea and then migrate to their spawning grounds near New Caledonia. Female eels can have millions of eggs in the ovaries. Developing leptocephali take about one year to return to the streams of eastern Australia. Glass eels arrive in New South Wales in early Summer. Those that make the additional journey south to Victoria arrive from January to late May. Young eels (called elvers) then swim upstream and spend a number of years maturing in freshwater.
The closely related New Zealand Longfin Eel (Anguilla dieffenbachii) is reported to live up to 60 years in freshwater before migrating. Researchers at NIWA in New Zealand have tagged NZ Longfin Eels in an attempt to identify the location of the spawning grounds. This research is yielding very interesting information.
Danger to humans and first aid
From Wikipedia: "Eel blood is toxic (if injected) to humans and other mammals, but both cooking and the digestive process destroy the toxic protein. The toxin derived from eel blood serum was used by Charles Richet in his Nobel winning research which discovered anaphylaxis (by injecting it into dogs and observing the effect)."

WASHINGTON (AP) — His lease renewed in trying economic times, President Barack Obama claimed a second term from an incredibly divided electorate and immediately braced for daunting challenges and progress that comes only in fits and starts.
"We have fought our way back and we know in our hearts that for the
The same voters who gave Obama four more years in office also elected a divided Congress, sticking with the dynamic that has made it so hard for the president to advance his agenda. Democrats retained control of the Senate; Republicans kept their House majority.
It was a sweet victory Tuesday night for Obama, but nothing like the jubilant celebration in 2008, when his hope-and-change election as the nation's first black president captivated the world. This time, Obama ground it out with a stay-the-course pitch that essentially boiled down to a plea for more time to make things right and a hope that Congress will be more accommodating than in the past.
The vanquished Republican, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, tried to set a more conciliatory tone on the way off the stage.
"At a time like this, we can't risk partisan bickering," Romney said after a campaign filled with it. "Our leaders have to reach across the aisle to do the people's work."
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, spoke of a dual mandate. "If there is a mandate, it is a mandate for both parties to find common ground and take steps together to help our economy grow and create jobs," he said.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of
"The voters have not endorsed the failures or excesses of the president's first term," McConnell said. "They have simply given him more time to finish the job they asked him to do together" with a balanced Congress.
Obama won at least 303 electoral votes to 206 for Romney, with 270 needed for victory, and had a near-sweep of the nine most hotly contested states.
But the close breakdown in the popular vote showed Americans' differences over how best to meet the nation's challenges. With more than 90 percent of precincts reporting, the popular vote went 50 percent for Obama to 48.4 percent for Romney, a businessman-turned-politician. Romney had argued that Obama failed to turn around the economy and he said it was time for a new approach that combined lower taxes and a less intrusive government.
Obama's re-election means his signature health care overhaul will endure, as will the Wall Street overhaul enacted after the economic meltdown. The drawdown of troops in
The most pressing challenges immediately ahead for the 44th president are all too familiar: an economy still baby-stepping its way toward full health; 23 million people out of work or in search of better jobs; civil war in Syria; a menacing standoff over Iran's nuclear program.
Sharp differences with Republicans in Congress on taxes, spending, deficit reduction, immigration and more await. While Republicans control the House, Democrats have at least 52 votes in the Senate and Republicans 45. One newly elected independent isn't saying which party he'll side with, and races in
Votes also were being counted Wednesday in the
Even before Obama gets to his second inaugural on Jan. 20, he must deal with the threatened "fiscal cliff." A combination of automatic tax increases and steep across-the-board spending cuts are set to take effect in January if
Despite long lines at polls in many places, turnout overall looked to be down from four years ago as the president pieced together a winning coalition of women, young people, minorities and lower-income voters that reflected the country's changing demographics. Obama's superior ground organization in the most contested states was critical to his success.
Obama's victory speech — he'd written a concession, too, just in case — reflected the realities of the rough road ahead.
"By itself the recognition that we have common hopes and dreams won't end all the gridlock, or solve all our problems or substitute for the painstaking work of building consensus and making the difficult compromises needed to move this country forward," Obama said.
"But that common bond is where we must begin. Our economy is recovering. A decade of war is ending. A long campaign is now over, and whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you, I have learned from you and you have made me a better president."
The president said he hoped to meet with Romney and discuss how they can work together. They may have battled fiercely, he said, "but it's only because we love this country deeply."
Romney's short concession — he'd only prepared an acceptance speech — was a gracious end note after a grueling campaign.
He wished the president's family well and told subdued supporters in
Obama won even though exit polls showed that only about 4 in 10 voters thought the economy is getting better, just one-quarter thought they're better off financially than four years ago and a little more than half think the country is on the wrong track.
But even now, four years after George W. Bush left office, voters were more likely to blame Bush than Obama for the fix they're in.
Elsewhere on the ballot, voters in
The most expensive presidential campaign in history, at $2 billion plus, targeted people in the nine states that determined the outcome, and the two sides drenched voters there with more than a million ads, the overwhelming share of them negative.
Obama claimed at least seven of those states, most notably
Overall, Obama won 25 states and the
It was a more measured victory than four years ago, when Obama claimed 365 electoral votes to Arizona Sen. John McCain's 173, and won 53 percent of the popular vote.
Preliminary figures indicate fewer people participated this time. Associated Press figures showed that about 118 million people had voted in the White House race, but that number will rise as more votes are counted. In 2008, 131 million people voted, according to the Federal Election Commission.
Obama was judged by 53 percent of voters to be more in touch with people like them. More good news for him was that 6 in 10 voters said taxes should be increased, and that nearly half of voters said taxes should be increased on incomes over $250,000, as Obama has called for.
Obama's list of promises to keep includes many holdovers he was unable to deliver on in his first term, such as rolling back tax cuts for upper-income people, overhauling immigration policy and reducing federal deficits.
A second term is sure to produce turnover in his Cabinet. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has made it clear he wants to leave at the end of Obama's first term but is expected to remain in the post until a successor is confirmed. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama's rival for the presidency four years ago, is ready to leave. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta isn't expected to stay on.
To the end, the presidential race was a nail-biter. About 1 in 10 voters said they'd only settled on their choice in the last few days or even on Election Day, and they were closely divided between Obama and Romney. Nearly 1 percent of voters went for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson, who was on the ballot in 48 states.
In an election offering sharply different views on the role of government, voters ultimately narrowly tilted toward Obama's approach.
"We have seen growth in the economy," said 25-year-old Matt Wieczorek, a registered Republican from
Notwithstanding his victory, Obama will lead a nation with plenty of people who were ready for a change.
"The last four years have been crap," said 73-year-old Marvin Cleveland, a Romney supporter in

At home in Chicago, the president all but claimed victory. "This happened because of you. Thank you" he tweeted to supporters.

But Obama led in the competition for electoral votes, where it mattered most.
His triumph in
The election emerged as a choice between two very different visions of government — whether it occupies a major, front-row place in American lives or is in the background as a less-obtrusive facilitator for private enterprise and entrepreneurship.
The economy was rated the top issue by about 60 percent of voters surveyed as they left their polling places. But more said former President George W. Bush bore responsibility for current circumstances than Obama did after nearly four years in office.
About 4 in 10 said the economy is on the mend, but more than that said it was stagnant or getting worse more than four years after the near-collapse of 2008. The survey was conducted for The Associated Press and a group of television networks.
Democrats got off to a quick start in their bid to renew their Senate majority, capturing seats in
Polls were still open in much of the country as the two rivals began claiming the spoils of a brawl of an election in a year in which the struggling economy put a crimp in the middle class dreams of millions.

Romney reciprocated, congratulating the man who he had campaigned against for more than a year.
Earlier, he raced to
But the mood soured among the Republican high command as the votes came in and Obama ground out a lead in critical states.
Like Obama, Vice President Joe Biden was in
Voters also chose a new Congress to serve alongside the man who will be inaugurated president in January, Democrats defending their majority in the Senate, and Republicans in the House.
The long campaign's cost soared into the billions, much of it spent on negative ads, some harshly so.
In the presidential race, an estimated one million commercials aired in nine battleground states where the rival camps agreed the election was most likely to be settled —
In a months-long general election ad war that cost nearly $1 billion, Romney and Republican groups spent more than $550 million and Obama and his allies $381 million, according to organizations that track advertising.
According to the exit poll, 53 percent of voters said Obama is more in touch with people like them, compared to 43 percent for Romney.
About 60 percent said taxes should be increased, taking sides on an issue that divided the president and Romney. Obama wants to let taxes rise on upper incomes, while Romney does not.
Other than the battlegrounds, big states were virtually ignored in the final months of the campaign. Romney wrote off
There were 33 Senate seats on the ballot, 23 of them defended by Democrats and the rest by Republicans.
Democratic Rep. Chris Murphy, a Democrat, won a Connecticut seat long held by Sen. Joe Lieberman, retiring after a career that included a vice presidential spot on Al Gore's ticket in 2000. It was Republican Linda McMahon's second defeat in two tries, at a personal cost of $92 million.
The GOP needed a gain of three for a majority if Romney won, and four if Obama was re-elected. Neither Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada nor GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky was on the ballot, but each had high stakes in the outcome.
All 435 House seats were on the ballot, including five where one lawmaker ran against another as a result of once-a-decade redistricting to take population shifts into account. Democrats needed to pick up 25 seats to gain the majority they lost two years ago.
Depending on the outcome of a few races, it was possible that white men would wind up in a minority in the Democratic caucus for the first time.
Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, raised millions to finance get-out-the-vote operations in states without a robust presidential campaign, New York, Illinois and California among them. His goal was to minimize any losses, or possibly even gain ground, no matter Romney's fate. House Democratic leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California campaigned aggressively, as well, and faced an uncertain political future if her party failed to win control.
In gubernatorial races, Republicans picked up
In a campaign that traversed contested Republican primaries last winter and spring, a pair of political conventions this summer and three presidential debates, Obama, Romney, Biden and Ryan spoke at hundreds of rallies, were serenaded by Bruce Springstein and Meat Loaf and washed down hamburgers, pizza, barbecue and burrito bowls.
Obama was elected the first black president in 2008, and four years later, Romney became the first Mormon to appear on a general election ballot. Yet one man's race and the other's religion were never major factors in this year's campaign for the White House, a race dominated from the outset by the economy.
Over and over, Obama said that during his term the nation has begun to recover from the worst recession since the Great Depression. While he conceded progress has been slow, he accused Romney of offering recycled Republican policies that have helped the wealthy and harmed the middle class in the past and would do so again.
Romney countered that a second Obama term could mean a repeat recession in a country where economic growth has been weak and unemployment is worse now than when the president was inaugurated. A wealthy former businessman, he claimed the knowledge and the skills to put in place policies that would make the economy healthy again.
In a race where the two men disagreed often, one of the principal fault lines was over taxes. Obama campaigned for the renewal of income tax cuts set to expire on Dec. 31 at all income levels except above $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples.
Romney said no one's taxes should go up in uncertain economic times. In addition, he proposed a 20 percent cut across the board in income tax rates but said he would end or curtail a variety of tax breaks to make sure federal deficits didn't rise.
The differences over taxes, the economy, Medicare, abortion and more were expressed in intensely negative advertising.
Obama launched first, shortly after Romney dispatched his Republican foes in his quest for the party nomination.
One memorable commercial showed Romney singing an off-key rendition of "America The Beautiful." Pictures and signs scrolled by saying that his companies had shipped jobs to Mexico and China, that Massachusetts state jobs had gone to India while he was governor and that he has personal investments in Switzerland, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.
Romney spent less on advertising than Obama. A collection of outside groups made up the difference, some of them operating under rules that allowed donors to remain anonymous. Most of the ads were of the attack variety. But the Republican National Committee relied on one that had a far softer touch, and seemed aimed at voters who had been drawn to the excitement caused by Obama's first campaign. It referred to a growing national debt and unemployment, then said, "He tried. You tried. It's OK to make a change."
More than 30 million voters cast early ballots in nearly three dozen states, a reflection of the growing appeal of getting a jump on the traditional Election Day.

Those who regularly read this column know I mine weekly reporting blurbs to dig up what I consider to be entertaining stuff — at least to me. This week's news was horrible.
Yesterday morning I was met with reports that one of the bombers had been killed and the other escaped the shootout. I'm glad one reptile is dead and hopeful the other snake will follow him soon.
When mindless evil rears its ugly head, I can't muster up a single molecule of concern or consideration for those who summoned that beast. I want them removed from the gene pool and don't care a whit about "reasons" or "motives."
I've never had religious leanings, choosing to believe the universe was way too big for a carbon speck like me to matter one way or the other. In my eyes, the creation of religions must have been a function of evolving intelligence.
Once humans became capable of abstract thought we ceased having to live only in the present and branched forward and backward, into the future and past. I've always supposed that being able to substitute identities with deceased or injured fellow humans led inexorably to "invention" of a force for shelter from life's tribulations.
That's a lot of words that ask a simple question: Did God create us or did we create God?
Of course without faith it may never be knowable to me, but when something so terrible as the
Well, by any measure I can imagine terrorism that kills and maims innocent kids is pure evil. So if I accept that as a truth then there's no way around accepting the existence of counterbalancing pure "good," the foundation of so many faiths.
Is Otis Gardner getting religion? No, but looking at things through an accountant's eyes, we live in a very big balance sheet. The cosmos appeared from nothing so all of its components must eventually total to zero.
If I follow that thread into my personal life, it requires depths of evil have to be offset by heights of good. It's the yin and yang, debit and credit of existence.
I'm deeply sorry for the innocents who were knocked out of wonderful lives without rhyme or reason and to no purpose other than the creation of pain. That's pure evil by any measure.
I want to say I'll pray for those folks, but that seems a bit two-faced given my history of rejecting any hint of metaphysics in my world. Besides injuring people in
Maybe I'll turn inward and visit my soul, if I can find it.
