Nature -- Clash: Encounters of Bears and Wolves
Check out this program tonite on PBS folks! It's
about the wolves and bears in Yellowstone.
Don't miss it!
Starts at 7pm GMT, to give you an idea what time
it starts, so use your local listings to find
out when it starts.
Check out the site for the program here:
Oh yeah and see Avatar. Great movie and you do
see wolf-like creatures in the movie.

Ahhh...that is perfectly understandable then, Runningfox. It is for protection of both humans and wildlife. Thank you for your response.
That area is near the east gate with lot of traffic as well as one of the park visitors favorite gift shops is located there..This wolf pack is not afraid of humans and if they come into that area lots of them would probably get run over by gawkers driving by..When animals get near the roads in Yellowstone people in cars go nuts trying to take photos..I had a friend of mine roll down the glass on the passenger side and almost fell out taking photos of two bear cubs..She even jumped out of the car at one point and approached a big bull buffalo lying down in a field with two cows with younguns by their side..I told her she could have been killed by tht old bull trying to protect his wives and kids..People do strange things in Yellowstone when they see a wild animal and wolves and buffaloes are the two favorites.. Some get injured by being run over by people in cars not paying attention to driving..
I am so glad the wolves are being offered protection. But Runningfox, is Mammoth Falls not big enough for wolves and humans? I mean if there is more elk there to eat shouldn't it be safe for the wolves since they would eat elk and not cattle or domestic pets? Or am I missing something? I am not familiar with the living arrangements and pros and cons of wildlife vs. humans out west.
Thank you on this informative article.

This spring, a pack of wolves conditioned to humans has moved from the park's interior to near its Northeast Entrance, just south of Gardiner.
The pack of four wolves - three black males and one gray female - have denned just a quarter-mile east of Mammoth. As a result, wolves have been spotted around the small community - the same place the U.S. Army set up shop in 1891 to protect the park. The town includes the historic Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, a visitor center, shops, government offices and employee housing.
The pack migrated from Canyon off and on throughout the winter, Smith said, referring to the area around the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. The small pack is likely the remnant of the nearby Hayden pack, which was a favorite with tourists in Hayden Valley because they were so visible.
But the Hayden pack's alpha male and female were killed by the nearby Mollie's pack from Pelican Valley. Confined to the east by the bison-killing wolves of Mollie's - some of the biggest wolves in the park - and the Gibbon Meadows pack to the west, the Hayden pack was under constant threat. Living close to humans, where the other wolves didn't venture, helped them to survive.
But after the alpha male and female were killed, most of the Hayden pack wolves moved west, outside of the park, and are now utilizing territory north of Hebgen Lake all the way to Big Sky in the Madison Mountains. The few stragglers who didn't leave, and a 7- to 8-year-old male from Mollie's, formed up to create the Canyon pack.
Last year, the Canyon pack's two pups were found in a culvert. The pack later moved the pups, but they likely died from a distemper outbreak that killed many of the park's pups. Smith was confident that the pack would return to Canyon to den this spring, because wolves are typically traditional about their den sites. But they proved him wrong.
"They started coming to Mammoth in the winter because there's more elk here," Smith said. "They learned the boundaries of the terrain around here real well."
Now, there are daily sightings of the three male wolves. The female has denned and given birth to pups, Smith predicted. Since the pups are blind and helpless for 10 to 14 days, the mother will remain with them. For another four to six weeks, the pack will be taking food to the den to feed the mother and eventually the pups.
To protect the pups, the den site has been posted off-limits to the public. And the park has put wolves in the same classification as bears when it comes to the distance visitors must maintain - 100 yards.
"We're trying to educate the public to not get too close," Smith said, because if the wolves become too used to humans, they'll have to be killed.
"We try to give them the protection they need. But when they get into Mammoth, we're trying to show them they are not welcome here."
So, Smith is tied to his cell phone, on constant alert for a call that the wolves have been sighted in the Mammoth area. When they are, he hopes to remind them that humans can be dangerous.
"We paintballed them in late January," he said, which acted as a deterrent. "But I've not gotten into them yet with what I call the heavy artillery - bean bags and rubber bullets. But I am itching to do that because they need a lesson."
Although taxing his time, the situation has proved one thing to Smith.
"The take-home message here is you can live with wolves - after all, this is a national park," he said. "We're expending the effort, but it can be done."

That's correct, Runningfox. And did you know that with the wolf's departure so did certain trees and animal species. When the wolf was reintroduced those departed trees started growing again. Isn't nature wonderful?
Did You Know?
There were no wolves in Yellowstone in 1994. The wolves that were reintroduced in 1995 and 1996 thrived and there are now over 300 of their descendents living in the Greater Yellowstone Area.
The bill would maintain separate trophy game and predator zones for wolves in Wyoming. It would authorize the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission to work in cooperation with Idaho and Montana to move wolves as necessary to assure genetic interchange among the states' wolf populations.
The bill would bind Wyoming to maintaining at least seven breeding pairs of wolves outside of National Park Service lands in northwestern Wyoming. Or, if Wyoming entered into a management agreement with the Park Service, the bill would call for maintaining 15 breeding pairs on Park Service and state lands within Wyoming.
The bill would establish a process for the state Game and Fish Commission to alter the trophy game area as necessary. It would also revert to more lenient rules for ranchers in the trophy game zone, allowing them to shoot wolves that are threatening livestock.
So sad to hear about the deaths of the wolves. Before when they were taken out of Yellowstone, not only they disappeared but so did certain types of trees not to mention various other animals. Why don't these agencies learn that by them sticking their nose into things, it totally messes up the ecosystem not to mention kills some beautiful animals! When the wolves were returned later, the former disappearing trees grew again.
Same with the bison. Millions killed off to almost extinction and now that they have tried to make a comeback, the ranchers want them killed because of grazing and the 'so called' spread of brucelliosis. However no one can name ONE instance of a bison giving it to cattle! NOT ONE!

How many years has it taken to get wolves back. They were slaughtered almost to extinction. That also includes the buffalo. Why is it always the poor ranchers that get the permits to kill,a mother a pup. Thats as bad as Sarah Palin aerial shooting hundreds of wolves for what reason? Its always the everyone should get along. But it seems like its only if you do what the ranchers want. Wolves and buffalo deserve to live on the land.There is no excuse for killing mothers and pups under any reason.

General Wolf Information
Wildlife Service concluded attempts to trap and radio collar a wolf in the Red Lodge, MT area. A pack has been reported there for 2 years now and a couple of calves were killed by wolves earlier this spring/summer. Wolves were seen on a couple of occasions but none were captured. Most calves have been shipped. Baiting/snaring/radio-collaring maybe tried here and in the area just southeast of Livingston, MT where 2 wolves were videoed stalking a horse, if conditions permit later this winter.
Snow tracking in Wyoming indicates that the Absaroka pack has 8-10 members and 4 pups. The Beartooth Pack has 5-7 members including pups, and they appear mange-free. However, the former alpha male #164, still apparently has bad case of mange.
Fontaine recovered the carcass of a gray female pup from the highway right-of-way about 4 miles north of Avon on the 21st. The carcass was found by some local ranchers who were moving livestock on the 18th. She was probably from the Halfway pack. We thank the ranchers and local Forest Service biologist for reporting the road-kill. Another wolf was reportedly killed on Highway 200 near Bonner on the 23rd and the next day a live wolf was reportedly seen in the same area.
On a flight on the 21st, Fontaine located a missing former Wildhorse wolf [SE of Stanley in central ID] near Drummond, MT. Local ranchers said theyve seen wolf sign in the area for at least the past year but havent had any problems. It could be part of a pack since we have had reports of multiple wolves near here this summer.
A ewe was killed by a wolf in the Ninemile Valley at the same place that has had several previous sheep losses. No control is planned at this time. The elk/deer rifle hunting season in MT starts 27 Oct and this area has been opened for either-sex white-tailed deer. The abundant supply of deer remains usually provides enough of a supplemental food source to reduce depredations.
Three ewes were killed on private land near Dillon, MT on the 22nd. The only radioed-collared wolf in the area was located nearby, but at least 2 other wolves, including a gray one, have been reported. Lethal control and a shoot-on-site permit were re-authorized. On the 24th, the radioed female and her pup (both black) were shot by WS. Agency control is completed unless further depredations are reported but the landowner still has a shoot-on-site permit that will remain active until 06 December.

What's in a name? For the Timorese, quite a lot
Gordon Peake and Piers Kelly write:
With allegations of Australian chicanery during the Timor Sea negotiations, a definitional dilemma emerges for the media: just what is the correct name of our northern neighbor? Is it East Timor or Timor-Leste? The ABC and the Guardian seem to working off different style guides on the question. In the main, journos tends to use the former with talking heads more frequently opting for the latter.
The '-Leste' part is a Portuguese-derived term meaning 'East' and its position after the word 'Timor' is consistent with the rules of both Portuguese and the national language Tetun. Why then, is it becoming habitual to use this term in English-language contexts? After all, we tend not to talk about going on holidays to Italia or Deutschland for which well-established and better-understood English counterparts are available.
It turns out that there are good reasons for this.READ MORE

I happily own and have bought many Mountain Hardwear garments. This one was the worst quality ever. It plain felt cheap. Thinly insulated and ill fitting. The ribbed cuffs were so shallow that the gauntlet part of a glove could not fit underneath the outer portion of the sleeve, leaving cold spots.
This coat was of such poor quality for MH that it was an immediate return item after wearing it for 60 seconds.
I am so happy with Backcountry, but really disappointed with MH on this model.

SPECFEM3D_GLOBE simulates global and regional (continental-scale) seismic wave propagation.
Effects due to lateral variations in compressional-wave speed, shear-wave speed, density, a 3D crustal model, ellipticity, topography and bathymetry, the oceans, rotation, and self-gravitation are all included.
The 6.0 release offers GPU graphics card acceleration support (Komatitsch 2011) as well as non-blocking MPI communications and includes a significant improvement in performance and a more accurate implementation of the crust. The latest version provides a perfectly load-balanced mesh for 3D mantle models honoring shallow oceanic Moho (depths less than 15 km) and deep continental Moho (depths greater than 35 km). It also accommodates European crustal models EPcrust (Molinari & Morelli, 2011) and EuCrust07 (Tesauro et al., 2008), which may be combined with global crustal model Crust2.0. Sedimentary wavespeeds are superimposed on the mesh if sediment thickness exceeds 2 km.
Additional new model routines are provided for generic point-profile models (PPM) and Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre based models (GLL). The structure of the software has been simplified to facilitate easier implementation of new 3D models. The code accommodates general moment tensor files, and provides more complete information in the SAC headers, as explained in detail in the updated user manual. New matrix-matrix multiplication routines, adapted from the book of Deville et al. (2002), help reduce the total number of memory accesses performed in each spectral element and thus significantly improve performance.

Jerry Dipotos first offseason as the Angels general manager was nothing short of spectacular, but no one should expect a repeat performance this year. Dipoto departs for baseballs annual winter meetings next week in Nashville, Tenn., where hes likely to continue pursuing pitchers to fill out a starting rotation and relief group that is still incomplete. But he wont be making the kind of splash he made last December when he signed free agents Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson on the same day. The big fish this year is right-hander Zack Greinke, who spent the final two months of last season with the Angels but is currently shopping himself to the highest bidder. The Dodgers, Texas Rangers and Washington Nationals are all said to be interested, and although the Angels havent ruled him out yet, it doesnt seem likely theyll commit the expected 150 million or more Greinke will command on the free-agent market. Not that Dipoto is standing still. This week, he made two important additions, r...

At CES 2013, Wilson Electronics finally adds a cell phone signal booster that supports LTE from all major U.S. carriers.
Pricing not available
If you have the cash and can master the design, the Wilson Electronics Sleek 4G-V booster delivers the strong signal your cell phone needs.
The Wilson Sleek is easy to use and performs well. Just make sure that it supports your phone.
Apple's offering some free downloads of new shows like "Scream" and "Zoo." Meanwhile, HBO is streaming some new shows for free on Facebook.
If you can afford the high price, and you frequently drive in areas with poor cell phone reception, the Wilson Electronics iBooster will deliver an improved signal for iPhone users.

FCC chief Tom Wheeler says the agency is doing all it can to promote broadband competition, but smaller wireless providers disagree.
The video game giant showed its first entirely new game since Andrew Wilson was named CEO in 2013. It won't be the last, he says.
The FCC says it won't vote to increase the spectrum reserved for smaller carriers in the upcoming wireless auction.
In a Wednesday hearing, members of a congressional committee press OPM director Katherine Archuleta for numbers and details on hacks affecting federal workers.
The FCC will seek comments on how to expand its $1.7 billion fund for subsidizing phone service for low-income families. The agency wants the fund to cover broadband service as well.

Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. (Bonus Tracks)
by The Monkees
Released: Nov 1967
Label: Rhino
This outing may lack the surefire cohesion of the Monkees' first three long players, but it also finds them broadening their sound palette and approach (these guys would've been a great California folk-rock band even without the TV show). The two hits are real keepers: "Words" sounds more like the Zombies than the Beatles, and "Pleasant Valley Sunday" is a nifty piece of ironic social commentary aimed squarely at their suburban fan base. Not too shabby for a made-for-TV kiddie band. This remastered version includes rarities and different mixes of the album versions.

12-core Mac Pro gets unboxed
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Galleries, PC
The folks over at OWC just got one of the new 2.66GHz 12-core Mac Pro units in their office, and they slapped together and quick and dirty unboxing gallery showing off the goods. Of course, with Apple sticking by their longstanding top-of-the-line desktop design, nothing on the outside really looks all the much different. Still, though, it's a sign that these beasts are finally shipping, and that's gotta count for something.

Apple Magic Trackpad unboxing
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Apple, PC, Peripherals
A few days ago, Apple introduced their Magic Trackpad to the world. It's a multi-touch wireless trackpad device that mimics the trackpads found on MacBook and MacBook Pro computers, but optimized for the Mac mini, iMac, and Mac Pro. We snatched one up as soon as they went on sale, and are currently in the process of reviewing it. In the meantime, though, we took a bunch of Magic Trackpad photos and put them up in our Magic Trackpad unboxing gallery. Go ahead and take a look, this thing is sexy.
You can pick up a Magic Trackpad for $69.

Unboxing Live 058: Apple Mac mini unibody 2010
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Features, HDTV, Home Entertainment, PC, Videocasts
Apple just released a brand new, completely redesigned Mac mini, sporting a new unibody enclosure. We quickly got our hands on the new mini, which also sports other notable improvements (SD card slot, HDMI port, upgraded NVIDIA graphics chip,) so that we could get to work on testing for our review. In the meantime, though, we figured we'd get an episode of Unboxing Live put together, so that we could give you a look at what's in the box, and also the unit itself. Apple did a fantastic job at reducing the size of the new Mac mini, while adding a bunch of function.

Unboxing Live 055: 27-inch Apple iMac
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Features, Videocasts
When Apple introduced the latest generation of iMac to the world, and made it known that they were able to get that LED-backlit display up to 27-inches, we knew it would not only be a gorgeous machine, but it would pretty much be right up there with a low-end Mac Pro if specced out right. We immediately picked up one of the new 27-inch iMacs to put out theory to the test, but in the meantime, we've got an unboxing video for you that shows off the ridiculously huge Mac, as well as the little design tweaks and changes that Apple has made to the iMac line since the previous generation.

Notes & Reviews:
Michael Horvit is considered one of the last links between the great American Symphonic School and today's music. Not surprisingly, one can hear echoes of this illustrious past in such works as the 'Cullen Overture' and 'Concerto for Brass Quintet and Orchestra' (on Troy265, works for orchestra), resplendent pieces which conjure up great open vistas and exuberant optimism. This exceptional disc of chamber music further reveals his traditionalist style, particularly in the 'String Quartet No. 2,' whose thematic material is mostly based on one of his favorite folksongs, 'Shenandoah.'

Swiss aerospace firm Ruag is offering Hindustan Aeronautics the opportunity to perform engine and propeller upgrades for India's Do228 aircraft.
India is a major operator of the twin-engined turboprop and HAL has produced approximately 100 Do228s under licence, said Ruag. The Indian Air Force operates 40 in the transport role and the Indian Navy operates 26 in the maritime patrol role. India's armed forces will eventually operate up to 100 Do228s.
The proposed upgrade will see the engines of India's Do228s changed to Do 228NG (Next Generation) standard, with five-bladed composite propellers and a Honeywell TPE331-10 engine.
The HAL offer excludes the upgrade of the Do228's cockpit or avionics to Do228NG standard, which offers a range of avionics improvements and includes a glass cockpit. Ruag added that the upgrade to Do228NG standard is possible and has been offered to other Do228 operators.
"The upgrade for the propeller and engine is not complicated," said Ruag. "The engines can be turned in three weeks. An avionics upgrade is much more complex, with turnaround time of approximately six months."
Ruag said there are a number of benefits for the engine and propeller upgrade, such as reduced noise, better power, and higher ground clearance, which is useful when operating from gravel or unprepared runways. The time between overhauls can be as long as 7,000 hours, depending on utilisation.
Ruag added that HAL is licensed to produce only the Do228 Classic, not the Do228NG, which is produced solely by Ruag.
The Do228NG is a modernised version of the Do228-212 that first flew in the 1980s.
The Do228NG made its Asian air show debut in early December this year at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition in Malaysia. In addition, Ruag is planning to bring the aircraft to the Singapore Air Show in February 2012.

Puritan Blister #38
A Diddley Diary
By William Bowers , July 18, 2008
Due to a summer of trouble, I was set to make this column a sequel to the suicide one I did back in 2005 (PB #10). I's just feeling extra finite, not in an I-need-help ideation way, but leisurely so, you know, like a cavalier malaise that lets you think, almost romantically, "Hmhm, I could just drift right on out of the world today." But because the beginnings of that column seemed too indulgent, I started filtering its energy into one about functional-jalopy relationships, the kind resulting from the cynical/protective lowering of expectations that can blossom as one ages.
My favorite of those odes to partnership resignation is Bob Dylan's "From A Buick 6", the one on which the speaker is just happy to have a "soulful mama," a "junkyard angel" who "walks like Bo Diddley." It was so funny, or so its nimbleness allowed me to misremember it as being. When I revisited the track in my morbid state of mind, I felt like a dunce for never picking up on its fatality: She's a "graveyard woman." The (suicidal?) speaker is "lost on the river bridge" and then "on the water's edge." She keeps the shotgun "loaded with lead." He needs a "steam shovel" to "keep away the dead." And of course there's the refrain, about how she'll put a blanket over him when he goes "down dyin'." She sounds more like an accomplice in his death wish than a life mate.
Then on June 2, Bo Diddley-- an artist whom I couldn't help but love, and who lived one town over from me-- died. That night, the Raconteurs opened with a patch from "Hey Bo Diddley" on Conan. The next day the Ian Curtis biopic Control arrived on DVD, which was one's first chance to see it if one lived a town over from Bo Diddley. Voila! My new column would be about dead legends! About how we fans process such passings/losses not just concretely (aw, no more product from that artist, despite the vast amount of other artists they inspired) but abstractly and personally, how much sort of vicarious, possibly intellectually indefensible emotion-dumping and projection happens, and how similar those transactions are to "mainstream" folks' populating their personal mythscapes via "connections" to Brett Favre, Princess Diana, Heath Ledger, Brooke Hogan, etc.
So, with multiple fractured ribs and something called costochondral separation, facing a lawsuit and a misdemeanor charge, with two dead cars, and practically no friends left, I went to Bo Diddley's funeral.
But you have no right to go to Bo Diddley's funeral, some remnant of my conscience uttered. You did not know him. I have been to strangers' funerals before, as part of a Sociology course called "Death, Dying, & Bereavement" that I took to help me get over my teenage death anxiety. We spent a day observing a funeral home as a business, sitting on the back rows while people streamed in and out and were serviced. The place was a McDonald's of grief. (Note: persons with family histories of depression and suicide might seek to nurture, rather than alleviate, their death anxiety, just as a buffer/prophylactic.)
But you are going to this funeral as an aesthetic pose, a gesture toward a larger gesture, my conscience replied, or to fill column inches for Pitchfork, to get money for tuna melts that you smuggle past your "vegetarianism." You even sickly enjoy the phrase, "Bo Diddley's funeral." Guilty as charged, but without conviction. Bo Diddley most certainly is an aesthetic: a character, a style, a beat, a tremolo setting, a pair of ginormous vocal inflections, a guitar design, a series of stage moves, a fashion sense, all of it invented by Otha Ellas Bates McDaniel. He was a trickster, from his costume through his customized/decorated axes, to his dozens-playing moniker (the performing name literally meant "nothing" in slang). But he was also this, like, manifest epicenter of American (and planetary) music, from his Baptist-hymn and classical beginnings through his blues, soul, rock, proto-surf, rumba-funk, dance, rockabilly, and eventual latter-day less-celebratable gospel/hip-hop (though I tend to most cherish his prom jams, slow-dance heartscrapers such as "What Do You Know About Love?"). He influenced and spurred almost everyone who is awesome, from the countless songs that used his blisteringly macho guitar-as-percussion innovation, to the myriad second-wave rappers who sampled him (Kwame, Schoolly D, Yo-Yo, De La Soul, Method Man, to cite just a handful). And his early, wholly self-referential singles, repeating his handle, practically spawned the self-branding overdone by so many commercial emcees today, from 50 Cent to (shudder) Soulja Boy.
Dude, he wrote that Dirty Dancing song, "Love Is Strange"! He was a hero to punks the Sex Pistols, the Fall, and the Clash! Hell, Dylan's aforementioned, namechecking "From A Buick 6" is just a slightly sped-up version of Diddley's "Do What I Say". I hear him everywhere on my indie-rock hard drive, in the Cramps, Pixies, the Raveonettes, the Gories/Dirtbombs, in the Violent Femmes' gonzo "Black Girls", and in the Chuck D breakdown of Sonic Youth's "Kool Thing". Cheech and Chong spoofed him (awfully)! His song about a lover who could only say "googlia moo" certainly fertilized the Dead Milkmen tune about the wife who could only say "dog-pussy"! "The Originator", indeed! His first band's name: The Hipsters. And yet, as of this typing, at just under 500,000 last.fm plays, he's garnered 20 million fewer laptop listens than (shudder) the Kooks. Piss off, conscience; I can go to this funeral in good faith. I "know" Diddley.
As I walked into the funeral, at the Showers Of Blessings Harvest Center, I was subject to one of the most vivid spectacles I've ever beheld: a huge, bouncing, berobed choir performing not some staid dirge, but "Hey Bo Diddley". These people weren't about to tell him goodbye. And they were letting rock and roll visit a church. (The band was guitarless, which seemed inappropriate/offensive at first, until the host graciously told us that "no one wants to...compete with Bo.")
The room was about half "white" (Jews, et al) and half black. (Sorry, those of us raised in South Carolina's cultural Center For The Development Of Non-Healing Wounds just have a useless, superficial awareness of these things.) The room also seemed to consist of half people who knew the real human in the casket on a community/dinner-table level, and another half of people who "knew" the musician, either via the industry or fanhood. Two flower arrangements were shaped like Diddley's iconic rectangular guitars. Others were from Tom Petty, George Thorogood, and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Lying in state, Diddley looked amazing. As my "encounters" with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees go, I've been in big coliseums with Dylan, small clubs with the Ramones and David Byrne; I used to have the same literary agent as Carlos Santana, and my kid sister once picked up Johnny Cash for her job at Enterprise car rental. But now I was mere feet away from two legends: on the fourth row facing Diddley, and about half a pew from Eric Burdon of the Animals. I had plopped, with utmost impertinence and only four dollars in my bank account, into a center seat behind Bob Gruen, capturer of classic photos of Dylan, Bowie, the Stones, the Pistols, the Clash, and he took the John Lennon NYC shots, etc. Star-stricken, me.
Superintendent Designee Elder Karl Anderson (what titles!) opened the ceremony discussing Diddley's signature beat: "Whereas James Brown took it to the bridge...Bo Diddley rode it aallll the waaaay!" The performance was so manipulative and wonderful, with complementary crescendos of organ and drums. Thus I (and most folks around me) started bawling. But I knew that, as much as part of me was crying for the family members across the aisle, I was using a funeral's permissive context as an excuse to cry about other sorenesses. It reminded me of when my mom was in prison in the nineties, and during her 8-hour weekend passes, she'd ask me to ferry around another inmate whose relatives would never visit her. The woman's favorite thing to do on the outside was to go to high school football games, where she could just scream, and it was cathartic and legitimizing, because, as she put it, "Everybody around me was yelling; they just didn't know what I was yelling about!"
The tension among the non-Christian rock fans in the room was "palpable," as they say. Rejecting death, the program brochure called the funeral a "homegoing," which reminded me of dayjob coworkers who actually answer the phone "Heaven-o," to not risk a syllabic mention of hell. So nothing could have been classier than Brother Corey Harris' choice of reading from the Old Testament: Psalm 90:12 contains no magic stunts, or afterlife hoodoo, or phantasmal intervention, or separatist invective. It's just good counsel for mortals, the obvious and unprofound kind of which it is so hard to stay mindful: "So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."
From that point on, every speaker had either a funny or transcendent story to tell about the garishness or generosity of Diddley (you can barely imagine how much I want to type the less formal "Bo" instead, by this point). His pal Roosevelt Hutchinson discussed cooking a pig underground with Diddley, and then let his talk become a registry of the mundane: they ate, they drank, they mucked around in the afternoon, they drove, they talked—and right when he realized that his story was barely a story, and that it bordered on boring, but that he may have honestly conveyed the ho-hum mechanics of time-bondededness, how unlegendary and banal faithful companionship can be, he broke down and said, "He was my friend," only he pronounced it in a beautiful, fighting-back-tears rush: "Hewsmfrn."
Faith Fusillo read a condolence/dedication letter from Bill Clinton. Shayna Lillie read (I'm sorry) a really bad "poem" titled "How Do You Say Goodbye To A Legend" that sent every non-Christian rocker, who by now had weathered hours of hymns and preaching, into a politeness-testing, seat-shifting sub-rage. "How do you say goodbye to a legend?" the longtime homeless eccentric beside me asked the air. "Umh, you fucking don't. And anyway, you fucking can't."
Diddley grandson Garry Mitchell spoke next, finely setting up a battle between God and rock that characterized the rest of the proceedings: "In the beginning, God created heaven and earth, and man in his image. In the beginning he created Ellas McDaniel, and in 1955, Ellas McDaniel created Bo Diddley." Then Diddley's brother, Reverend Kenneth Haynes, told of the first time he heard Diddley sing: it was "Doodlebug, doodlebug, doodlebug," when they were barely not toddlers. He went on to almost over-portray the schism between churchly "calling" and Diddley's secular destiny, chastising his brother for following his guitar, voice, and songwriting talent around the world. Haynes told of Diddley offering him half of his earnings if he would keep him company, only to congratulate himself by saying that he stayed behind for Jesus. (The guy beside me: "You fool. You idiot.") He told of confronting (i.e. jealously guilt-tripping?) Diddley about his rock lifestyle, to which he claimed Diddley (kickassily) responded, "I don't like what I'm doing out here. But God gave me this gift to feed my family, and I can't stop now."
Haynes got overcome by the exhaustion of driving in from Biloxi, and his tales of being trapped by Katrina softened his evangelical tug. In order to finish, he had to be dramatically propped up by his daughters. Trust me, it was Shakespearean and worthy of portraiture, this patriarch unable to mourn upright without the weeping human crutches he sired. Before Haynes left the proscenium, he acknowledged that, despite the worldly success, Diddley was a model of Christian charity. "He would have given me anything," he said, and then, when he was away from the mic, he mumbled "except his hat."
As Diddley's granddaughters delivered an interminable gospel coda, the relatives who looked the most hard-living stumbled out of the theater. I followed them outside and watched them smoke and complain about how the service was going. True, Diddley got religious in his later years (consult his apologist joint "My Jesus Ain't Prejudice"), but he was more complicated than the scripture-party inside conveyed. As an atheist still trying to exorcise the superstitions of my fundamentalist upbringing, I understand that when a Christian dies, it's a infinitesimal part of a larger narrative about the body of Christ, but I've been maddened at funerals for relatives that seemed hijacked by biblegeeks, during which no tribute was paid to the individual stinky humanity of, say, my peppermint- and monkey-toy-addicted fussbudget grandmother, because some preacher felt compelled to regurgitate his invitational join-us trip. I mean, come on, Diddley wrote "Pills", which seemed tailor-made for the New York Dolls, and his homemade guitars had mudflap stripper silhouettes on them. The picture that ran with Entertainment Weekly's obituary had filth written in the walls in the background about junebugs fucking spiders, and running through the jungle, holding one's dick and pissing in the wind. An acquaintance who lived next door to him told me about his dropping by to invite the acquaintance's gorgeous girlfriend over to film a video "in a prostitute outfit" about how women shouldn't be mistreated. They said his home studio was peppered with huge piles of dog poop.
Didn't these folks know that Jesus and Mary Chain recorded the blasphemous/worshipful "Bo Diddley Is Jesus"? I left the funeral, weirdly energized, after sobbing along for about three hours, during the whiteface "Mime Ministry" of Boy Of Silence. I am not kidding. It was the coolest and most heartbreaking thing in the world, at that minute. When I got home, I checked out iTunes' special Bo Diddley section, and thought righteously of Morrissey's lyric from "Paint A Vulgar Picture" about the greed of profiteers when talent expires: "On their hands a dead star!"
The next night I went to see Vampire Weekend at St. Augustine Beach. Something about a band of Ferris Buellers flirting with afrobeat made me feel even more acutely caucasian than the Diddley ceremony, especially when Ezra Koenig baited the crowd about the East African origins of his opening band's name: "Do you all even know what a Harlem shake is?" I walked out to the ocean's edge and tried not to think depressing shit. My inner jukebox played Don Gibson's "Sea of Heartbreak" on repeat. I thought about the linguistic similarities shared by ammunition and sand: powder, shells, etc. Then the most retarded, reverent sentence popped into my mind, and I was okay: "What would Bo Diddley's funeral do?"

what a ride!
So I hope no one was looking for me, I hit the slab back to south shore.
I had a great ride. If this happens again I'll be needing modern machinery!
There was a couple times I couldn't make out the boulders for all the dust, but I missed all the big ones.
The poor little avenger was gasping for air. When we came apon the Leviathan mine road on 89, I looked up and saw the repeater station...
I thought, "oh no even higher!" (gasp)
So Robert was low on gas...bet you had to reload his tank. I was beginning to worry when Markleville looked like the station wasn't open so I cruised right on through. Stopping to look inside the tank at woodfords...not much gas left!
The sign at the 88-89 juntion said Tahoe 26 miles. I thought no trouble, even though I had gone on reserve. Heading down the other side of luther pass the motor went buuuwaaaa...(petcocks at rear of tank, going downhill=no gas in carb)
But there was still some gas in there. Just in case, I pulled the plug and checked for spark...that was good.
So next the old limey trick of laying the bike over on it's side till the footpeg folds. Now the last gas is over on the reserve side of the tank! But I didn't want to use it yet! Figured I'd bump it after coasting as far as I could. Got all the way down to santa claus lane @ Meyers city limits and came to a stop.
This time it started first kick and off we went all the way to that chevron station near the inspection station. So all was well and I headed back for SF street in SLT.
But I already had it in my head that I shouldn't punish the little museum piece 2 days in a row. I loaded up and drove home. No need to push my luck, as this was a fine ride today.
(you ride a little...you tinker with it...ride a little more)
You guys have a great ride tomorrow. Nice meeting all of you.
This was a very rewarding adventure for me.
Thanks tahoeracer for the push start in Holbrook.
Thanks Mrs tahoeracer for shouting out about the morning coffee.
I rode 110.8 miles
The total motor run time was 3 hours 35 min 43 sec
max speed 61.2
max engine temp 217 f
Since I made the triumph street legal I have 183.34 hours in the saddle.
I broke the 5,000 miles barrier while coasting down the grade off luther pass.
Who knows how much time and miles are on it all those years with a green sticker!
What a ride!
too many...
I have completely lost count
and here's my channel...

Bridging Belief, Sexuality & HIV – Tues 7/28 10 AM
Bridging Belief, Sexuality & HIV Tuesday, July 28, 10:00 AM Google Hangouts On Air - Broadcast for free Spiritual and religious communities provide a sense of identity, belonging, and comfort...
research helps | help research
Hello Everybody –
At our next community meeting we will discuss the current research into a topic of great interest to us all: getting older with HIV.
Our meeting will be held this coming Tuesday, April 22ndat 5:30 PM in the ACTU Large Conference Room at Harborview (2 West Clinic, Desk B).
(A map to help you navigate the halls of HMC is attached to this email)
Many people think of HIV as a young person's disease, but it's not.
By 2015, half of all people with HIV will be 50 or older!
However, a number of age-related problems occur earlierin HIV+ people than in individuals without HIV.
This "accelerated aging" appears to be largely related to chronic inflammation and immune activation.
Join us next Tuesday evening if you want to know more about inflammation and immune activation, and learn about one of our studies which will answer whether aspirin could be a possible remedy for these conditions.
As always, we will provide dinner for you.
We can also cover your parking at the HMC VIEW PARK garage. Just bring your parking ticket with you and we'll give you a sticker or a pass that covers your time at the meeting.
We also have bus tickets available for those who'd like to use public transportation.
An RSVP to 206-744-3184 orby replying to this email will help me gauge food and seating needs, as well as if you need a bus ticket beforehand to get to the meeting.
Feel free to call or write me if you have any questions about this coming Tuesday, April 22nd (206-744-3184).

Schooner Isaac H. Evans: Enjoy The Maine Windjammer Parade From The Deck Of A Schooner!
Valid Date:
7/9/13 — 7/13/13
Location:Schooner Isaac H. Evans
PO Box 791 Rockland, ME US 04841
(207) 594-7956, 877-238-1325
Windjamming is the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. Each day you can participate in sailing the vessel as we set our course based on the wind and tides. Take the helm or relax and enjoy islands, lighthouses, wildlife, new friends, and great food. You'll indulge in three hearty meals a day, one of which will be a traditional Downeast lobster bake on the beach of one of Maine's pristine islands. Each evening we will anchor in a quiet cove or peaceful harbor where you can stargaze from the deck or go exploring in one of our rowboats. When you wake in the morning to the smell of the wood stove fired up to cook breakfast and you wander the deck with your first mug of hot coffee, you'll think you've stepped back in time to an era when hundreds of schooners graced the waters of Maine.
On Friday we will participate in the Maine Windjammer Parade sharing tacks take by the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse with over a dozen other tall ships. This trip is one of the best to get great photos of all the schooners together...bring your camera!
22 guests maximum. Price is per person and includes a full crew and captain, accommodations, meals, on-site parking, activities, and taxes. All cabins accommodate two people but single guests are welcome (no single upcharge but be prepared to share a cabin). Bring your own beer, wine, or soda. Non-alcoholic and non-carbonated beverages included. Ice and cooler provided.

A few more random photos and words...
Day 1 (yesterday) was tough, even for the more seasoned competitors and Tuareg Rally regulars like Wesley Beane (Beaney) #25:
Beaney was going really well on his big KTM 690 (with a 690RR fairing mated to Rally Raid Evo2 tanks) - finishing the first Profi lap in the top ten, and was running as high as third overall before the last checkpoint, when an over-the-bars error cost him more than an hour trying to repair broken cables and wiring... He still finished in plenty of time, but with hopes of an early lead dashed.
Similarly Torque Racing team-mate George Dennison #107 has raced the Tureag Rally in Morocco on a number of occasions... and even he found the first day in the soft Tunisian dunes hard work. If you skip back a few pages, you'll see he is sporting a rather elaborate beard (a hangover from the Movember fundraising he participates in each year) - However this morning (Day 2) it was gone... it is hot and hard work in Tunisian sand!
#87 Tony Schattat's team-mates who are all racing under the Macad banner and competing Malle Moto, were in a confident if slightly apprehensive mood before the start yesterday:
L-R: #24 Polytimi Kyriakopoulou, #22 Guillaume Martens and #86 Edward Taylor:
All of them suffered in some way during the first stage - see Brodovich's post #202 above for specific news about Timi and Guillaume's day - while Ed found for some reason he was struggling with a severe lack of power from his 300 EXC - not something you would usually attribute to that machine!
Fortunately on the way back from refueling in the evening, Tony spotted that the tail pipe was glowing red hot with the heat, and after some investigation, it turns out Ed had bought a replacement front pipe that had an emissions restrictor welded inside - severely limiting the exhaust gas exit, and no doubt the cause of his constant over-heating problems... With a quick beg and a borrow around the bivouac, Ed found a German car team who were able to slice open the pipe, removed the offending gauze, and re-weld it together again overnight - result!
And finally, as the competitors leave the soft sand behind for a few days and head north towards Gafsa, I think it was probably these guys who had the
vehicle for crossing Tunisian dunes yesterday:
As for myself, I travelled the assistance route today with Patsy in the huge Desert Rose Racing support truck, and we arrived at the second bivouac hotel in plenty of time. Fortunately I have been able to secure my own room (with like a proper bed and everything!) for tonight, and it would seem the hotel has a pretty decent wifi connection too... Although I am somewhat concerned by the 2-inch thick metal box-section bars that surround the hotel lobby front door like it's some sort of bullion vault; and similarly the huge steel shutter doors that enclose the car park like we're some kind of fortress - I hope they're not expecting trouble in Gafsa tonight!

Absolute Rookie: 1st painting ever...beginning of a journey
Hi Everyone,
I, like everyone else, have been inspired by Andrew Jones (and heavily by the skill of my brother..."Smeagol71" on conceptart.org) to learn to paint...and paint well. I have to say begrudgingly I am tens of years from doing that. HOWEVER, I decided that now is the best time to start and that I should just throw myself into the fray. A 9 x 12 intuos 2 is on it's way to me right now via UPS and I have painter 6 installed on my system...Now I just need to figure out how to paint.
One of the cool things about Andrew Jones is that he constantly posts his work...I am going to do the same...everything I do...whether it sucks horribly I am going to post it...and I am sure people will make fun of some of the stuff I put out because, as of now, I have no idea what I am doing.
But I will number every digital painting I do so that everyone will know what number I am on and hopefully be able to see improvement over the days/months/years. I just think it would be cool to go through the process and get everyone's feedback the entire time. I figure...if everyone is giving me feedback with everything I do...then I probably won't develop bad habits...hehe.
I am enrolled in a couple art classes this semester and next semester I am going to be taking some more at the University of Pennsylvania. I am totally untrained in drawing or painting but have studied film for a while now. So I'd like to think I at least have an art bone somewhere in my body.
At any rate this is literally number 1...I have never (since kindergarten-painting by numbers) painted anything...and so this is my very first attempt. I was using a mouse to do this adjusting the size and pressure of the brush etc... It was done using the trial version of Painter 7. I know this painting sucks...and it probably isn't even worthy to post but hey...it can only get better from here. Any feed back would definitely be appreciated too...I know you must be thinking, "Man...where do I start"...but lay it on me. Thanks...I will be posting again when I create painting number 2...thanks.
p.s. - Any criticism is fine with me...fire away.

Traders Rush Into Crude Oil Options
Markets don't always behave rationally. Oil prices do not always reflect fundamentals like supply and demand, but over time, markets eventually come into balance with fundamentals. At the moment, crude oil prices are profoundly out of balance with fundamentals and most industry observers expect a correction.

Lufthansa Group generated an operating loss of €20 million ($24.5 million) during the first six months of 2012 after achieving a €114 million operating profit during the same period last year. However, the company's net loss was cut from €206 million in H1 2011 to €168 million this half.
Revenues increased 6% to €14.5 billion, but profitability came under pressure from increased fuel costs, "sustained" price pressure, air passenger taxes in Germany and Austria, and the European Union's Emissions Trading System (ETS), the airline says. Its operating margin dropped from 1.2% in 2011 to 0.2% this year.
The group generated a €361 million operating profit during the second quarter, which almost compensated for the losses between January and March 2012. As indicated in March, Lufthansa still expects higher full-year sales than in 2011 and a "medium three-digit" operating profit across the group this year.
However, this will not include costs for the Score restructuring programme, warns Lufthansa, which it estimates at €100-200 million for the current year. The group plans to improve its operational result by at least €1.5 billion a year by the end of 2014.
First half revenue increases were recorded at the company's subsidiaries for maintenance, catering and IT services, while the passenger and cargo carriers performed weaker.
Operational losses in the passenger airline segment - comprising Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines and Swiss International Air Lines - increased 79% to €179 million year-on-year. Lufthansa's operating loss more than doubled from €146 million during the first half of 2011 to €300 million this half, while Swiss's operating profit fell from €104 million to €48 million.
Austrian's €64 million loss during the first half of 2011 turned into a €26 million operating profit this half. However, this was due to one-off effects as a result of transferring flight operations to its regional subsidiary Tyrolean Airways. Without that measure, Austrian would have generated a €55 million loss, says Lufthansa.
The group has also decided to make capacity cuts beyond those it initially outlined last year. By retiring additional aircraft, the winter 2012/13 schedule will now see a 2.5% reduction in available seat kilometres (ASKs). This will trim the capacity increase for the whole of 2012 to 0.5%.
Lufthansa Cargo's half-year operating profit was down nearly 65% to €47 million. The airline says this is due to weaker customer demand, high fuel prices, and the night flying ban at its main hub in Frankfurt. The group's fuel bill increased 22% to €3.6 billion.
