Thanks for pinning a tail on this donkey of a season Owen. I too had my money on Sophie. You didn't disappoint on this last entry. Here's hoping next season picks things up a bit. See you next time.
Seriously-has this show jumped the shark or what? Who else thinks some execs at CBS whispered in Ozzy's ear to do something before everyone dies of boredom? Owen, I'm hanging in there with you but it's hard going!
It has been a long hot summer without you Owen. I for one hope Cochran sticks around a long time. I think he is hilarious in a delusional way. Semhar on RI is the best possible beginning to what looks like a great start. I never liked Ozzy anyway. Looking forward to next week Shanahan!
Well, you put the cherry on the sundae of this season, Owen. I will miss your astute commentary and hilarious observations. There were several weeks where your blog was far more entertaining than the show. I look forward to seeing you in the South Pacific in the fall.
I seriously thought Ralph said, "I'll lick your neck if you let me have some." I didn't even blink. Really, he could have said that. I'm still hanging in there with Sas and Ralph but the show is starting to resemble a train wreck. At this point any one of us could write the script for next week. Matt preaches, Ralph chews on marbles, and Phil rants like a strung out street loony. I keep waiting for a real "twist" to shake things up. Let's hope next week is the real turning point. Thanks again for the yuks Owen. I especially enjoyed the video links. I appreciate your dedication to detail. Your work ethic is beyond reproach.
It was worth the wait. Looking forward to tomorrow.
This is the most entertaining season ever. Just when i thought Survivor had jumped the shark they pull this out "of thin air." Great work Shanahan! Your blog is the perfect set of cliff notes to this Shakespearean comedy. I too had a moment when SAS had me going there. I can't wait for next week.
This blog was actually more entertaining than the show this week. I can't wait for Ralph's reality TV show.
You nailed it as usual, Owen. Thanks !!
You don't disappoint, Shanahan!!
These guys have still got it! Beautiful show-their voices as wonderful as ever!

Two women struggle with their personal demons as well as their troubled bonds in this independent drama. Rosie (Lily Wheelwright) and Sonia (James Katharine Flynn) are two sisters in their twenties who haven't seen one another in five years, having been on bad terms since their parents died in an auto accident. Despite their differences, Sonia asks Rosie to come home for her birthday party, and Rosie agrees. The party turns out to be a two-person affair held in an old farmhouse in the midst of a blizzard, and as the siblings try to buffer their tensions with drugs and alcohol, they bond in an alternately loving and painful manner as they confront their pasts. However, Sonia's troubling attempts to reconcile with Rosie leads to a surprising request Rosie isn't certain she can fulfill. The first feature film from writer and director Ry Russo-Young, Orphans was screened as part of the 2007 South by Southwest Film Festival, where her short film Marion was an award-winner in 2006. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Rosa Acosta Criticized By Dominicans After Volunteering In Tanzania
On any given day, you can log into Instagram and see models and celebs posting up photos of luxury items, the latest designer wear and expensive trips, but it's not too often that you see folks giving back in a major way. Last week, model and dancer Rosa Acosta (who has been focused on selling fitness videos and apparel since announcing she was retiring from the urban modeling game), took a 10-day trip to Tanzania to volunteer at the Living Water Children's Center. While there, she has been assisting in feeding the kids and teaching them how to dance, while bringing them gifts and showering them with love. She also has posted photos from her trip and facts about the conditions the kids live under while promoting the center's website so that her followers can contribute to the cause.
You'd think that this was a good thing, but apparently there are a few people out there who had an issue with the fact that she's helping kids in East Africa and not in the Dominican Republic where she is from. A few days ago, she jumped on Instagram to explain why the Tanzania trip was so important:
A few of my fellow Dominicans ( who I'm pretty sure have NEVER volunteer once in their life ) have not just ask buy kind of "demand" as to why I'm volunteering in Tanzania and not DR. "DR is very poor too" Mmmm NO SH-T Sherlock! I lived there 22 years and most of my family still there so you are not telling Me anything new. Yes DR is very poor, still can't compare to Tanzania, but that is irrelevant since I am NOT here making it rain on the kids. DR might be poor but our culture is much more advance in terms of equal rights for Male/Female.
In DR Girls are not being circumcised, giving on marriage in exchange of a few cows and chickens to a man much more older than them before they are even born or rape on daily basis by their own father. Girls in DR are able to go to school just like the boys unlike here in Tanzania. So just know that I am here working towards a cause bigger than a few dollars. I am here volunteering my TIME, teaching BALLET and assisting at the school and hospital, and most of all giving the kids LOVE (not money). Now let me tell you about a few things I have done in DR: I volunteer for 5 years at Hogares Luby In Santiago. I had a Ballet school in La Vega with a full scholarship program for talented girls that couldn't afford the classes. But my biggest charity in DR is MY FAMILY. I sent every year what for some of you looks like a year worth of salary. My mother is retire and well taking care of by Me and my brother. So now mis amigos let's take all that energy you put into what I am or should do and use it towards what YOU are doing or SHOULD do. Let's do it together and sing Guan tu guan tu tri fol fai Animo Animo Animo!!! Now go do something nice doesn't matter where. Oh and btw lets not forget that we Dominicans are Africans too donate here: Livingwaterchildren.org or to the group I feed the homeless every Wednesday @wefeedthehungry myfriendshousela.org or go buy a #bodybyrosaacosta and help Me at cossamia.com
Rosa herself came from very humble beginnings, and although she now can afford pricier things, she continues to give back.
Back in 2010, rapper Maino slammed her in an interview for wearing cheap shoes, and she responded:
I am still the same girl that came from the Dominican Republic. My family has never been rich. I'm still not rich. Why would I go and buy a $2000 pair of shoes that I can't afford when I can actually help my family that's still living in DR, or I can save my money or I could spend money on my education. What is wrong with buying something that's inexpensive?"
Watching the kids dance to her routines is heartwarming.

When the young man was shot many times at the "Big house" a few weeks ago in front of hundreds of members of this community, no one saw anything. When the cops ask them about it no one knows anything but will say "Thats your job to figure it out".
When the young man ran from a cop on S. Adelle a few months ago, drove poorley, crashed into a parked semi and died the "community" was outraged at the police (for doing their job?). If he had pulled over he would have gotten a ticket, the same as Marlon.
Actions have consequences. Dont do the crime if you dont want to do the time. Dont run from the cops if you dont want to be killed in a crash.
I know it is to much to ask, but why not get a real job (as in a legal one not involving dealing drugs) and be a productive member of society? It would go a long way to reducing the number of deaths in this community and reduce the need for the cops to constantly baby sit the area to keep the murder rates down.
I know having a real job may slow the rate of obtaining hooptie cars with $5000 wheels, $5000 stereos and a $3000 paint jobs, but at least you would have earned it legally and not have to worry about the cops coming for you.
There are hundreds of these guys all over DeLand in $30K cars who have never worked a day in their life. All of their "baby mommas" complain about being a single mother when their Baller boyfriend gets caught selling dope to YOUR children. Then they have to go on welfare to feed the family.
The silly no chase policy the cops have has the drug dealers well trained. When the blue lights come on they floor it. The cops run the other way like little kittens and have to anounce that they are changing directions over the radio. This means that the only ones to get tickets anymore are YOU, the honest citizen who stops for the cops. This is dead wrong.
If the dope boy runs from the cops and runs into something, his family will sue and get a bunch of YOUR tax money, stolen from your hard work.
So they act bad, blame the cops for their own high crime rate in their community, claim harrassment when the cops do their job, live on tax money stolen from someone who worked for it and proceeds of selling drugs to YOUR children, die when they are involved in felonies, drug robberies, fleeing from the cops etc... and we are supposed to feel sorry for them?
Rules for everyone:
Dont sell or use drugs.
Get a job.
Pay your taxes.
Take care of your children and family.
Stop blaming others for your problems.
Dont run from the cops.
Dont suck from the government teat, it is addicting and will lead to a lifetime of poverty.
Go to Church then follow what you learn.
Are you sure this is what you would like to do?

They can't hear me
Did a search on this but couldn't find anything, although it is covered quite extensively on the Apple discussion forum (UK).
Had my iPhone about 2 weeks now, but due to carrier indifference, have been unable to use it much until now.
I am getting a problem where, on a call, I can hear the other party, but they can't hear me.
Anyone getting this issue?
Sounds like a problem with the phone, time to take it in and have it checked.

A d.c. voltage is produced from a single-phase electric mains for supplying an X-ray tube. This supply is pulsed under the control of a synchronizing circuit with which it is further possible to adjust the duration of the operating pulses, as well as their phase blocking with respect to the mains. By acting in this way excessive current is not taken during the voltage troughs between two successive half-waves. The losses by the Joule effect in the mains are reduced and the quality of the pulsed high voltage is improved because of the increased stability. There is only a slight increase in the exposure time.
1. A high voltage d.c. supply which receives alternating electrical energy from a general single-phase distribution mains, comprising:
means for periodically tapping said energy from said mains during periods having a duration less than a half-wave of the alternating electrical energy to thereby produce periodically chopped high d.c. voltage synchronized with said alternating electrical energy;
means for regulating said chopped high voltage wherein said regulating means includes a frequency modulator for modulating an oscillating frequency of a ripple generator and wherein said means for periodically tapping said energy includes a means for validating that said regulating means is operating.
2. A supply according to claim 1, comprising:
first rectifying means connected to said mains, wherein said ripple generator is connected to the first rectifying means, and wherein said ripple generator produces a rippled voltage;
means for raising the voltage produced by said ripple generator and a second rectifying and filtering means connected to said raising means, wherein said periodic tapping means includes means for synchronizing said ripple generator with said mains.
3. A supply according to claim 2, wherein said first and second rectifying means are a double half-wave rectifier.
4. A supply according to one of claims 2 or 3, wherein the synchronizing means includes means for varying said means for synchronizing depending upon the phase of said mains.
5. A supply according to any one of the claims 2 or 3, wherein said synchronization means includes means for increasing or decreasing the times during which said tapping is performed.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a d.c. high voltage supply, particularly for an X-ray emitter tube. However, it can also apply to other fields. The supplies in question are intended to be connected to a general electric mains.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Most of the supplies have high frequency generators at present. The mains undergoes rectification and filtration, the d.c. voltage obtained is rippled at high frequency by a ripple generator, the ripple voltage is raised by a step-up transformer, followed by rectification and filtration. This type of supply functions perfectly when the mains is of the three-phase type, but certain problems arise with the single-phase type. Thus, there is a voltage trough between two half-waves. Thus, in this trough, the ripple generator cannot take power from the mains. The use of a LC filter for storing energy at the peak of the sinusoid, so as to restore it during said trough cannot be used for power levels of approximately 30 to 100 kW. The filters become enormous as regards size and cost. Another standard solution consists of directly raising the single-phase mains voltage and then rectifying it after raising. However, the rectified high voltage follows the system and drops completely in the voltage troughs between half-waves. The spectrum of the X-rays emitted then extends over a vast range. This solution is increasingly falling into disfavour and is in fact forbidden in certain countries.
The present invention aims at obviating the aforementioned disadvantages by proposing a power supply in which the high voltage is chopped. It is only produced during short times corresponding to the peaks of the half-waves of the single-phase network. In this way energy is not taken from the network or mains when this is at low voltage and during these stoppages the current is zero. There is then no loss as a result of an excessive Joule effect in the network.
The invention relates to a d.c. high voltage power supply of the type receiving alternating electrical energy from a general single-phase distribution mains, wherein it comprises means for periodically tapping energy from the mains during periods shorter than one half-wave and for thus producing a periodically chopped high d.c. voltage.
The invention is described in greater detail hereinafter relative to non-limitative embodiments and the attached drawings, wherein show:
FIG. 1. A power supply according to the invention.
FIGS. 2a to 2k. Time charts or diagrams of signals involved in the supply according to the invention.
FIG. 1 shows a high voltage supply according to the invention. It receives electrical energy from a single-phase mains 1 and converts it into a high d.c. voltage for supplying an X-ray tube 2. It has first means 3 for double half-wave rectification and filtering of the single-phase voltage. A ripple generator 4 supplied by rectifier 3 feeds into voltage raising means 5. In an embodiment, the ripple generator oscillates at a few dozen kilohertz. Second rectifying means 6 rectify and filter the alternating high voltage supplied by transformer 5 and deliver a high d.c. voltage to tube 2. An important feature of the invention is that chain 3-6 operates so as to periodically tap energy from the mains 1 under the control of synchronization means 7, which are provided with means 8 for recognising the phase of the mains. Said means are also provided with means 9 for varying the synchronization blocking with respect to the phase of the mains or for varying the tapping periods. Means 9 are related with controls 10, 11 on which an operator can act.
In the represented embodiment, the supply also has regulating means 12, which regulate the high voltage produced by the second rectifier 6 as a function of an externally applied reference VRE. In a preferred embodiment, the synchronization means 7 act on means 13 for validating the operation of the regulating means 12. In other words, when permitted by the synchronization means, the regulated high voltage is normally supplied. When they no longer permit it and in particular during the voltage troughs of the single-phase signal of the mains, the regulation chain is interrupted and the high voltage from it is cancelled out.
The first rectification means 3 are conventionally provided with double half-wave rectifying means 14 in cascade with a low-pass filter 15. The ripple generator 4 is conventionally provided with four power transistors mounted in cascade in pairs 16-17 and 18-19 between the two outputs of rectifier 3. The diagonally opposite bases of the transistor 16-19 and 17-18 are connected together. They receive complementary conduction instructions via an inverter 20 from the validation means 13. The two cascades of transistors then operate in inverted push-pull-like manner. Their centre points, respectively 21 and 22 are connected to the voltage raising means 5, which in this case incorporate an oscillating circuit with an inductance coil 23 and a capacitor 24, tuned to a frequency slightly below the minimum frequency at which ripple generator 4 is expected to oscillate. According to an example, the frequency of said filter is 18 kHz. Inductance coil 23 represents the actual inductance, as well as the stray inductance of a transformer 25 in series, which is used for raising the voltage.
Transformer 25 feeds into second rectifying means 6 incorporating two double half-wave rectifying circuits 26,27. Each of these is connected between a centre point 28 of transformer 25 and to one of the ends of the secondary winding of said transformer. Smoothing means, e.g. incorporating two capacitors 29, 30 make it possible to filter the double half-wave rectification of circuits 26, 27 respectively. The high voltage then appears substantially flat. Capacitors 29 and 30 are small, because the rectified high alternating voltage is a high frequency voltage. The centre point 35 of rectifiers 26-27 is connected to earth. It makes it possible to divide by two, compared therewith, the value of the high voltage produced. The insulation stresses of the high voltage connections are then also divided by two.
The interest of oscillating circuit 23-24 is based on the sinusoidal appearance of the voltage produced by it. This sinusoidal voltage on the one hand more easily passes through transformer 25 than a square-wave signal of the same frequency. Moreover, during the rectification in rectifiers 26, 27, the regular decrease of the current, as well as its regular increase at each half-wave is favourable for a good store removal of the electronic charges stored at the time of saturation in the diodes of said rectifiers. This sinusoidal appearance is also favourable with regards to reducing the reinjection of radio interference into mains 1.
It will be shown hereinafter that the regulation of the supply takes place by frequency modulation. The regulating means 12 are in fact provided with a frequency modulator 34 (VCO). At maximum high voltage, the oscillating circuit is slightly detuned by excess and the ripple generator e.g. oscillates at 20 kHz, whereas the oscillating circuit 23-24 is tuned to 18 kHz. At minimum high voltage, the oscillating frequency of the ripple generator is higher (e.g. 50 kHz), the oscillating circuit is strongly detuned and only permits the passage of less power. This frequency distribution is provided in order to minimize switching losses. Thus, at maximum high voltage, the oscillating frequency is at a minimum and consequently the losses by switching are at a minimum. At minimum high voltage, the oscillating frequency is at a maximum, so that the switching losses are at a maximum. However, this is not prejudicial, because in this case the power required by the supply is low.
The regulating loop incorporates a comparator 31 receiving on a first input a signal from a divider bridge 32-33 (which measures the high voltage produced) and which receives on a second input a reference voltage VRE representing the high voltage at which tube 2 is to operate. The error signal produced by comparator 31 is introduced into a frequency modulator 34, which e.g. produces a square-wave signal at a frequency definitively dependant on the reference voltage VRE. The square-wave signal is applied at the same time as its complementary to the corresponding bases of the transistors of ripple generator 4.
The synchronization means incorporate means 8 for recognising the phase of the mains signal. Means 8 incorporate a double half-wave rectifier 36, which feeds into a comparator 37. The signal produced at the output of means 8 appears in FIG. 2e. The comparision voltage VC with which is compared the double half-wave rectified signal is sufficiently low for the output signal of comparator 37 to have a rising front 38 relatively close in time to the zero passage time between two successive half-waves. This phase finding or designation signal is introduced into means 9 for varying the blocking. These comprise two RC circuits, respectively 38-39 and 40-41. The centre points of these RC circuits are connected to first inputs of comparators respectively 42 and 43. Each comparator receives at its second input a threshold voltage, respectively VS1 and VS2. These two voltages can be equal, but this is not a necessary requirement. The rising front 38 of the signal emanating from comparator 37 is not transmitted immediately to capacitors 39 or 41. The latter are only charged at the end of a time which is dependant on the time constant of their RC circuits. Charts 2f and 2g show how the potentials evolve at the terminals of the capacitors. In an example, the time constant of circuit 38-39 is less than the time constant of circuit 40-41. In this example, thresholds VS1 and VS2 are equal, so that comparator 42 switches over before comparator 43, as shown in charts 2h and 2i. By connecting the outputs of said comparators to the inputs of a logic AND gate 44 (having previously reversed the output of comparator 43), at the output of said gate 44 there is an active logic square-wave pulse between the times when comparators 42 and 43 have switched over, as shown in chart 2j.
Each of the RC circuits of means 9 is surmounted by a diode 47 or 48 for completely discharging capacitors 39 or 41 at each half-wave change. A diode 49 connected in parallel at the output of comparator 37 aids this discharge. Another feature of RC circuits is that their time constant is regulatable. For example, resistors 38 and 40 can be regulated by graduated switch handles 10, 11. By acting on the latter, it is possible to determine the time of putting into operation, as well as the stoppage time of ripple generator 4, so that the duration can be modified. Validation circuit 13 incorporates two logic AND gates respectively 45 and 46 receiving on a first of their inputs the signal from AND gate 44. On their second input, they receive the square-wave signal or its complementary from modulator 34. Thus, these logic gates supply pulse signals comparable to that of chart 2k. The ripple generator operates during the active periods of duration a in a half-wave duration b. The X-ray tube is supplied with power. Outside durations a, the bases of the transistors of the switching generator are brought to zero, all the transistors are blocked and the X-ray tube is no longer supplied.
Charts 2a to 2d respectively represent the mains signal, the double half-wave rectified signal, the sinusoidal signal at the output of the ripple generator and the filtered rectified high voltage signal applicable to the terminals of the X-ray tube. The oscillating frequency of the rippled signal is the same as the frequency of the signal supplied by logic gates 45 and 46.
In a preferred manner with respect to a half-wave corresponding to a 180° phase rotation, the duration a of putting ripple generator 4 into operation is between the times when said phase is 40° and 140°. It might be thought that this manner of operating would increase the exposure time necessary for producing a radiographic negative. However, this is not the case. For the operating time a referred to, if the peak value of the chopped d.c. voltage is approximately 90% of the peak value of a rectified half-wave voltage, the exposure times are substantially identical. Moreover, the images or pictures obtained in the invention are better, because there is little development in the supply voltage throughout the exposure. With a double half-wave rectified voltage (100 Hz), the spectrum emitted takes the whole range as a result of the voltage trough.
By comparison with a conventional supply, in which the d.c. voltage is not chopped, the exposure times are increased in the ratio b/a. However, these conventional solutions are only of a theoretical nature in single-phase, due to the fact that they require excessive capacitors and inductance coils. It has been found that the filtering elements 29 and 30 can be reduced in a ratio of 4, whilst the exposure time is not even doubled. It is also possible to carry out settings in such a way that at a low high voltage the cyclic ratio a/b is higher, action then taking place on switch handles 10 and 11. Comparative measurements have been carried out. They revealed that the peak current absorbed from mains 1 was lower in the invention than that measured with a permanent d.c. high voltage generator. This is essentially due to the fact that tube 2 taps no current when the voltage on the mains is low, i.e. during the voltage troughs. The consumption efficiency is higher in the case of the invention. In particular, electrical energy taken in the form of a current is partly dissipated by the actual mains, because the latter is not perfectly conductive. From this standpoint, the higher the internal resistance of the mains, the more the comparison is favourable towards the invention.

By scrumtrelescent | REVERSEBLOG: the reverse shot blog September 28, 2005 at 1:32AM
Robbiefreeling rightly pointed out that I've been negligent in sending missives on the NYFF, and so, considerably chastened by his tongue lashing, here goes (with apologies to Eshman):
Perhaps it's because I'm still disappointed by a year of substantially unrevealing biographies, but there was a quite a bit to like about Capote. Contrasted with The Aviator, which only really divulged that Howard Hughes was crazy, liked to fly airplanes, and. . .was crazy, or Ray, which justified Charles' nastier personality traits in light of his talents (he cheated on his wife, fathered a kid with his mistress, and all but abandoned his family, but it-s okay! He was a genius!) Bennett Miller-s outing quietly illuminates and refused to apologize for its protagonist. The script makes plain Truman's considerable facility with cocktail party witticisms, but also takes great care to show how his ability to lie with equal poise. It's immediately clear that both are defence mechanisms to protect the great author's rather underdeveloped ego; under Hoffman's layered performance, we get veiled glimpses of Capote's desperate desire to be loved as well as his fear of disappointing others. There-s also a shameless honesty in Hoffman's delivery as he intimates the depth of his sympathy for the In Cold Blood murderers—and the limits of it too. He cares about their attempts at death row commutation, but without a full confession detailing the brutal act in question, compassion cedes to business consideration and the need to finish his story. It's not the first biopic to show blemishes and all, but the way Miller does it, by by oblique hints and deft structuring, puts it among the better ones I've seen. Capote was also shown a day after Good Night, And Good Luck, which is why I like it probably better than I otherwise would. Set a scant few years after Clooney-s portrait of righteous indignation, Capote subtly observes Truman in a manner that approaches naturalism, and refuses to fetishize its own aesthetic.

A new species of carnivore from the wetlands of Madagascar has been identified by scientists at the Natural History Museum, the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust (DWCT), Conservation International (CI) and Nature Heritage (NI).The small speckled brown mongoose-like animal is about the size of a cat. It belongs to a family of carnivores called the Eupleridae, only known in Madagascar, and it is likely to be one of the most threatened carnivores in the world.

The most well-known member of this family is the fossa, which is the largest of the Madagascan carnivores.
The new species has been named Durrell's vontsira, Salanoia durrelli, in honour of Gerald Durrell, the conservationist and writer who died 15 years ago.
Very little is known about the vontsiras as Natural History Museum zoologist Paula Jenkins explains. 'Durrell's vontsira is very rare, as it is known only from 2 animals captured, photographed and briefly observed before being released, and from the type specimen carefully preserved in the Museum so that it is available for future research.'
It is extremely rare to discover a new species of carnivore. 'The last carnivore discovered in Madagascar was Grandidier's vontsira, Galidictis grandidieri, which was described more than 20 years ago,' says Jenkins.
'More recently, the Bourlon's genet, Genetta bourloni, was found in west Africa. It was described 7 years ago.'

The new carnivore was first seen swimming in a lake by DWCT researchers during a field trip in 2004.
'We have known for some time that a carnivore lives in the Lac Alaotra marshes, but we've always assumed that it was a brown-tailed vontsira that is also found in the eastern rainforests,' says Fidimalala Bruno Ralainasolo, a conservation biologist working for DWCT who originally captured the animal.
The new creature was compared to those in the Natural History Museum's collection, which has over a third of a million specimens, and specifically with the brown-tailed vontsira, Salanoia concolor, its closest relative.
Jenkins explains, 'I was able to take measurements and make detailed morphological comparisons with specimens in the national collection.'
'In addition to the difference in colour of the fur, these detailed observations showed that there were obvious differences in the structure of the skull and teeth and that the size and shape of the pads on the paws clearly distinguished this animal from the brown-tailed vontsira,' says Jenkins.
'My colleague Clive Moncrieff, a biometrician at the Museum, analysed the measurements and the results clearly confirmed the distinctiveness of the new species.
'This research is a fantastic example of the importance and relevance that Museum collections have for contemporary scientific research.
'Though people may be aware that museums such as the Natural History Museum hold reference collections, little is known about how critical these collections are to our understanding of the world today.'
Madagascar and the Indian Ocean Islands are known as a biodiversity hotspot because of their great richness in species. They have 7 families of plants, and 15 families of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish, which live nowhere else on Earth.

Durrell's vontsira is found in the Lac Alaotra wetlands in central eastern Madagascar. Sadly, the Alaotra grebe, Tachybaptus rufolavatus, from the same area, was announced extinct just a few months ago.
The Lac Alaotra wetland habitat has suffered over the past decades from pollution from fertilizer and pesticides, silting and the introduction of invasive fish and plants that compete with those native to the area.
This habitat degradation, along with a small population size and restricted distribution, make the Durrell's vontsira vulnerable to extinction.
'This species is probably the carnivore with one of the smallest ranges of any in the world, and likely to be one of the most threatened', said Frank Hawkins of CI, co-author of the paper describing the species.
'The Lac Alaotra wetlands are under considerable pressure, and only urgent conservation work to make this species a flagship for conservation will prevent its extinction'.
Ralainasolo adds, 'The Lac Alaotra wetland habitat is a highly significant site for wildlife and the resources it provides people. DWCT is working closely with local communities to ensure its sustainable use and to conserve Durrell's vontsira and other important species.'
Jenkins explains the future work that will need to be done. 'The most important research priorities for the new species include investigation of its ecological role in the wetlands, estimation of its population size and distribution, the recognition and assessment of potential threats to the population, and the conservation steps needed to reduce any serious threats.'
Stephan M Funk of Nature Heritage, formerly at DWCT and one of the authors of the paper, says 'Population genetics and evolution of Durrell's vontsira and related species remain poorly understood, highlighting the importance of future research. More important, however, is the protection of the wetlands around Lac Alaotra, which remain highly threatened.'
This research is published in the journal Systematics and Biodiversity.

We have been finding good fish up north the past couple of trips. The fish are still holding on rocky bottom in 16ft of water and pushing bait into the shallows in the evening. I have been getting out with Paul most nights and have been bad about taking pictures- sorry. The fish really haven't gotten any bigger. Low 30′s is about the biggest fish we are seeing lately but the fish are hitting hard on topwater and 5-7 inch soft plastics on 3/4 oz jigheads. Here is Pauls coworker, Mike with a nice low 30′s fish:
We had a close call this evening with small craft advisory in effect for the next few days. West winds gusting to 30kt but we had to try. We launched out of Rocky Point State Park and headed out of the cut to mild seas. About 3/4 of the way to the fish on the other side Paul makes a smart move to turn around and face to wind to see how bad it was going to be on the way back. Well, the first wave came over the bow and that was all she wrote. It would not have been smart to stay out in the bay so we started our wet, pounding trek back to the river. We made it back and tried a few casts at the old sunken concrete ships near Fort Howard. There were no fish there but I did see birds working near the new Pleasure Island rockpiles. Fortunately, they saved the day. We had fish to 24 inches right near the ramp and they were hungry for 17 tony spoons and topwater plugs. We ended the night with a fish-on-the-meter sunset to our west and a full moon rising to the east. Its hard to beat time on the water in October!

Been technically doing ball/toe, so it's not completely necessary to buy a long board. My feet aren't that big either. Size 9.
I didn't get to try any longboards today though. Only made it to West today. I tried out the DW 5000, 3000, Pearl Eliminator, some cheap Gibralter pedal, and the Mapex Falcon.
Really liked the Falcon. Smooth, responsive, and I like the idea of weighted beaters. Apparently Mapex is coming out with a new version though, not sure if I should wait for that if I decide to go with the Falcon.
For the $50 bucks or so that Gibralter pedal was, I liked it a lot. If I wanted a cheapo, I'd buy that. Didn't like the Eliminator, and liked the 3000 more than the 5000 for whatever reason. Probably the settings. Tomorrow I'll go to GC and hopefully try out the IC/SC's.

The youngest of the Clarke brothers, Reece Clark, 16, was just chosen as the Best Young British Dancer by judges Gary Avis, Zenaida Yanowsky, and Deanne Bergsma:
Apart from some dodgy biographical info about his brothers -- Ross is older than Russell and retired from Ballet Arizona a couple of years ago, and I'm assuming the 2006 article from the BBC is accurate -- it's great news. I wonder if there will be another Clarke brother to join Russell at BA?

A kiss is more than just a kiss when you have a life-threatening food allergy. Anaphylaxis Canada offers tips to teens and adults for a safe Valentine's Day
Candy, chocolates and stolen kisses may be synonymous with Valentine's Day but can represent a challenging combination for the approximately 2.5 million Canadians who self-report at least one food allergy, the leading cause of anaphylaxis. As even a trace amount of an allergen may cause someone with food allergies to have a potentially-life threatening reaction, avoidance of those allergens is the only means of staying safe.
So while Valentine's Day may make young people in particular want to throw caution to the wind, it is not worth the risk for those with food allergies. Teens and young people face unique challenges in managing their allergies: they have to navigate a number of social situations, contend with peer pressure, and balance a tendency towards risky behavior. Consider a recent Anaphylaxis Canada survey of youth members revealed that only 66% of respondents reported always carrying their adrenaline auto-injectors.Anaphylaxis Canada offers some tips for those with food allergies hoping to be hit by Cupid's arrow:
- Do not be shy: make sure your date knows about your food allergies ahead of time.
- Ask questions: ask to see ingredient labels for any food you are planning to consume, do not share utensils and cups, etc.., and be sure you both wash your hands and brush your teeth after eating.
- Be prepared: always carry an auto injector (e.g. EpiPen®, Twinject® or Allerject™), wear MedicAlert® identification, and know what to do in the event of a reaction.
- Before the big event – the kiss – be sure to ask your partner if they recently ate any of your allergens.
These safety precautions are unique in comparison to the pre-kiss worries of other Canadians. A 2011 Angus Reid Strategies poll showed the biggest worry for Canadians before their first kiss was whether they should close their eyes (33%), the smell of their breath (15%), "whether they should "French kiss" (14%), how attractive they looked (9%), or whether they would be caught in the act by their parents (7%).
In response, Anaphylaxis Canada released a public service announcement developed by advertising firm Zulu Alpha Kilo which depicts some of the worries a teen with food allergies faces. The video, appropriately titled "First Kiss" can be found here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cejHLq3uaik.
For more in-depth strategies on avoiding allergens and staying safe please visit Anaphylaxis Canada's website: www.anaphylaxis.ca/en/daily_living/eating_safely.html and our site specifically designed for teens and young adults at www.whyriskit.ca.

Broccoli and Burritos
Thursdays nights are for swim lessons. I teach for fun at the local YMCA. Sometimes though, like tonight, I'm the one who's taught — or reminded of — the important lessons of life.
Mateo is my four-year-old energetic curly-haired student. We were practicing our kicking by "racing" each other across the pool. I was letting him win, because, well… it's kinda mean to beat a pre-schooler. As I was feigning defeat, the conversation went like this:
Me: "How are you going so fast?"
Mateo: "Because I ate my vegetables today"
Me: "Oh? What type of vegetables did you eat?"
Mateo : " Broccoli!!"
Me: "Oh! Do you like broccoli?"
Mateo: "Yes. I had it for lunch. What did you eat for lunch?"
Me: "I had a burrito"
Mateo (matter-of-factly): "Burritos aren't very healthy. You'd swim faster if you ate broccoli."
Alas. There's nothing like a four-year-old telling you the brutal honest truth. But what can I say? He's right. After all, Robert Fulgham did say that all I need to know I learned in kindergarten.

Kenneth Tomlinson: Former Police Chief and Boy Scout Leader Now a Child Molester
Categories: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Follow That Story
In January, Tomlinson was charged with a dozen counts of first-degree statutory sodomy and four counts of second-degree statutory sodomy, with the Missouri attorney general's office accusing him of "deviate sexual intercourse" with three boys under the age of 17, 14 and 12.
The acts occurred after March 2009 with the boys telling authorities that most incidents happened in Tomlinson's truck with the scout leader giving them naked pictures of girls.
In a statement today, attorney general Chris Koster said Tomlinson abused his position of authority.
"It is tragic and unfathomable that a person in a position of trust and influence, especially trust and influence over minor children, would take personal advantage and would abuse that trust," Koster said. "I send my concern and sympathy to the victims and family members harmed by this act of betrayal."
Tomlinson, a bear of man standing 6-foot-two and weighing north of 400 pounds, had no prior criminal record. He'll be sentenced in February.

Call it the most perfect PR stunt for Taylor Swift's (see her hottest outfits) new album, Speak Now. The singer, who is performing live tonight on Vh1.com, was apparently at the Saturday Night Live after-party this weekend on the arm of doe-eyed hunk Jake Gyllenhaal. According to Lainey Gossip, Taylor and Jake showed up together and awkwardly flirted and held hands. What's more, Taylor introduced Jake to people as "her date," and they – duh duh duh - left together. While we haven't seen photos of the new pair together, it's entirely plausible this went down. Tay is in town for her performance tonight (and she's also tight with this weekend's SNL host Emma Stone) and Jakey is here promoting his new movie, Love and Other Drugs. We love that sweet, sweet circumstantial evidence!
But what makes this story wonderfully scandalous and awkward is that John Mayer was at the same party on Saturday (see pic of him arriving, above). We've now listened to Taylor's song "Dear John" 10+ times, and it's a pretty scathing take-down of the 32-year-old horndog. Did Taylor have an uncomfortable run-in with her "expert at sorry"? Did Jake protectively fend off Mayer and his hockey hair from his new woman? Or did they all just peacefully co-exist in the same room like mature adults?

If sharing something "feels" wrong, it probably is, says Timothy C. Bradley, an attorney with Coats & Bennett, PLLC in Cary, N.C. who specializes in intellectual property matters.
From ReadWriteWeb:
"If you know something is illicit, such as a link to an illegal download of an album or movie or photos from an unreleased publication, avoid posting such content," he said. "Also if you know for any reason that a content provider does not want their content shared, then avoid sharing that content on sites like Pinterest."
Pinterest and Tumblr will both remove content that is shared illegally if they are contacted by the copyright owner. Content providers who don't want their content linked on Pinterest can install code on their Web site, which seems to be a proactive move to prevent copyright infringement claims. And users need to keep in mind that while the unwritten rules protect them when they share content, the actual written rules may not.
"The partial sharing discussed above helps to bolster a fair use claim, but is not a guarantee that your use is indeed a fair use under US Copyright Laws," Bradley said. "Thus, while following the 'common sense' approach is unlikely to get you in trouble, there is no guarantee."

After nearly 400 years on this continant a families history can get lost as the years and decendants pass on, and before you realize what you've missed it's gone. I hope this will bridge over the chasm of time. I hope this site and the information I have found via the internet and other sources wll help to connect the past to the present. My own interest in American and nautical history inspired me to look further into our family and I soon found more than just a little interest in the history of the Gunnison family. I want to share the information, history and memories of when we Gunnison's were growing along with this great nation and the contributions and sacrifices this family suffered along the way.
The name Gunnison descended from the time of the Norse Vikings and was derived from the name Gunn, Gunnis,Gunnius, the descendants of Rognvold of Moeria dating back to the year 870a.d.. The first recorded Gunnison was Snaekohl Gunnison living in 1232, his first son's name esaped history, Snaekohl's grandson was James de Gunn, After this time the family fractioned off forming the families of Henryson, Herrickson, Williamson, and others based on first names of male family members.

(1.) Hugh Gunnison born about 1610, was the first Gunnison to arrive in the new world. Though history has yet to reflect whether or not a Gunnison was among the Vikings who arrived in what they called Vineland 500 years before. Hugh arrived in the new world with 5 other families the ; Scammons, Bryar, Raynes, and Frost, two families had the same last name, which one it is not clear. They arrived as part of an English Colony, landing in Piscataqua harbor in 1631. Hugh settled first in Dover Neck, New Hampshire.
Hugh was employed by Sir Richard Bellingham, the Govenor of the Plymouth colonies with the Massachusett Bay Company as a wine maker or vintner. In 1634 Hugh moved to Boston and married his first wife Elizabeth (her last name is unknown) in 1635.Hugh and Elizabeth had four children between the years of 1635-1646.
Their first child whose name was not recorded, died young durring an Indian attack in 1636. The child had been left behind durring a surprise attack and the horrified parents could only watch as an Indian grasped the child by the ankles and smashed his head against a rock.
In 1636 Hugh owned an "ordinary" commonly known as a tavern, the kings arms Tavern and a boatyard in Kittery NH now located in Maine. there was a bar and several rooms to let,or rent.
In 1637 Hugh was disenfranchised because he supported Anne Hutchinson, who was accused of heresy for preaching the gospel.
In those early years there was a shortage of preachers or even educated people, men or women. Preachers went from town to town and clearly some folks were with out Sunday meetings. Anne who was learned in the Bible also was a strong supporter of the separation of church and state, and would stand in for the preachers who were often occupied in other towns or villages or held up by weather or illness.
This act of a woman preaching the Gospel was strictly forbidden by the Puritans laws. The trials lasted quite some time and after 5 years Hugh was returned his property. In 1642 Hugh once again was licensed to operate the tavern, and boatyards. The boatyards were very successful and built over 36 boats and employed over 100 men.
Durring these years Hugh and Elizabeth had three childen: Sara in 1638 and Elizabeth in 1640 and Deborah in 1642.
Hugh was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Atrillary Company of Boston in 1646. Elizabeth died on Jan 25 1646 and Hugh remarried to the widowed Mrs Sarah Lynn, in 1647. They had two sons, Joseph born 1649 and (2.) Elihu, born Feb12 1650 the last of Hugh's 6 hildren.
In 1651 Hugh again found himself in court, this time accused of neglect in the death of a man who was scalded by a boiler or furnace accident, Hugh was aquitted and continued to operate his tavern and boatyard. Eventually his son Elihu became a shipwright and took over the boatyards with his son.
Hugh and Elizabeth's fourth (living) child Joseph never married and in 1707 accidentally shot and mortally wounded Grace Wentwoth. Grace who was a cousin or niece to Joseph. Joseph was on sentinal duty at the time, in the Garrison on his fathers property. The routine for sentinals was to hail strangers 3 times, then shoot.
Indian attacks were so frequent that nerves were always strung tight and Joseph fired at someone running in the dark durring a fierce snow storm. Unfortunately Grace had just arrived in a small boat durring the snow storm in Portsmouth. Grace had rushed ahead of the others, she either could not hear the sentials hail, or he didn't hear her reply, needless to say Grace was shot.
Though her wound was mortal, she forgave Joseph as she lay dying. He was tried and found not guilty but he never forgave himself and lived out his life reclusive and slipping in and out of sanity untill he died.
(2)Elihu married twice, first to Martha Trickee in 1674 who died shortly afterwards and then to Elizabeth Skillin who was widowed when her husband John Skillin had been killed by Indians in 1689. John and his parents had previously been driven from Falmouth to Kittery in 1675 and returned to Falmouth in 1680. After John died Elizabeth returned to Kittery where she married Elihu, they had 6 children, Elihu in 1675, and a twin who was killed by Indians at a young age and not named, Priscilla born in 1679, Mary in 1681,(3.) Joseph in 1690 and last, Elizabeth, born 1694.
In 1694 Elihu and his brother Joseph operated the shipyards and in 1696 they were commissioned to build the ship Rebecca Sloper by Edward Carwithy. Elihu's son (3)Joseph, followed his father and uncle in the ship building buisness and (3)Joseph became a shipwright at Hughs shipyard.
(3) Joseph was married 4 times and had 10 children in all. His first wife Susanna Follett (no other information), his second was Elizabeth Lewis oct. 23 1729, (no other information), the third was the widow Mrs.Margaret Nelson Jan.8 1734, and his fourth was Susanna Ayers Mar.3,1742 or 43.
When or how his wives came to their demise is not clear but illness was a constant threat. Medicine was in it's infancy and a simple cold could go along way. If the Indian's didn't kill you the influenza did. Joseph's children were (4.) Samuel Jan 27, 1720 or 21, John Oct 21,1722 David July 9,1724 William may29,1726 and died young, Christopher mar 9,1728 Benjamin feb 24,1733 Margaret nov 13,1735 or 36 William june 4, 1737 Elizabeth aug 29,1741 Lydia sept 2,1744.
(4)Samuel was a carpenter in Kittery,Goshen and Halifax, he was married twice, Jane Fernald in 1745 and to Alice Fernald in1752 Samuel had a total of 9 children Susanna dec 4, 1746 Joseph sept 5 1748 died feb 20,1750-51Margaret july 16,1735 (5) Samuel may 29,1757 Ephriam feb 14,1759 died aug 24 1761 Daniel april 29,1761 Ephriam july 16,1766 twin to Nathanial july 16,1766 Alice 1768.
(5)Samuel was a farmer in Goshan NH., he served at the rank of private in company no. 1 Col. Benjamin Bellow's regiment durring the revolutionary war at fort Ticonderoga.
This is the same time frame that a later family members descendant, Steven Griffing was writting his revolutionary war journal and mentions his visit to Fort Ticonderoga, as well as meeting General Washington, and yhat he was present at the trial and hanging of Benedict Arnold.
Samuel died aug 27 1823. His son (5) Samuel married Dorcus Cutts feb25 1780, they had 7 children (6) Joseph april 8,1781 Samuel dec 15,1786 William sept 3,1795 died nov 5, 1795 Polly feb 23 1792 died nov 3 1795 Alice june 17,1794 William feb 8,1797 Oliver april 4, 1800.
(6)Joseph was a farmer in Lempster NH, married Tabitha Wells nov 28,1802 they had 12 children Polly june 17,1803 Harriet F. sept 21,1807 Samuel aug 8,1807 Alvin june 7,1809 Orren july 2,1811 Elzira july 9, 1813 Issac april 3,1817 Sarah june 28,1819 Hannah jan 25,1822 Robert feb 29,1824 Susan oct 26,1827 (7) Joseph C. sept 24,1829.
(7) Joseph C. (is the last relation on the family tree image at the top of the page) enlisted in Dec.12 1861in Company 1, 1st Cavalry Regiment Rhode Island. he fought in nearly every battle of the cival war and mustered out in 1865. He returned to the Rochester NY area and became a railroad Telegrapher, he married Angelina Potter of Rochester and they had 5 children. (8)Jay Hoyt (no info) Etta, who died young Myrtie (no info) Bert (no info) Jessie (no info) (8) Jay was a RailRoad Station Agent and married Flora Griffing, Flora was a descendant of Steven Griffing, who wrote the journal durring the revolution. Jay and Flora had four children (9)Harry Averill july 3,1880 DeForrest Myron april 5,1882 Robert Joseph sept 1,1884 Beatrice Louise april ,1892. (9) Harry was a railroad conductor and married Adeliade Wood of Sodus Point ny and they had 2 children (10) Armon Percivile sept 4,1898 Lawrence W. (no info) (10) Armon led quite an ineresting life his father Harry died young at 35 in 1915. He had the responsibility of supporting his mother and brother and at 17 worked at kodak as a draftsman. In 1917 he enlisted in the army and served in the last mounted calvary in Europe durring WWI. He claimed to have had several mounts shot out from under him as he displayed his saddle knot proudly. He mustered out in 1919 and returned to Sodus Point NY to support his mother, and her sister Rose. In 1920 he joined the NY State Mounted Police Troopers,
Armon in WWI uniform with Gr.Grand mother Jane Wood, Percy White,
Armon in NY State Mounted Police Troopers uniform, along with his mother Adelaide and her mother Jane Wood
I found this in the book "the Troopers are coming" by Albert S. kureK;
"on May 5th of 1921, a raiding party executed a search warrent at a local hotel owned by Ralph W. Brown of Tonawanda NY. Troopers Armon P. Gunnison and Joseph E. Holcomb had lived at the hotel and for several weeks had observed the illegal activities of an organized gang of bootleggers working between Canada and the United States. The bootleggers smuggled liquor hidden in bags by using the Niagara river route for entry. High powered motor boats travelled around the south end of Grand Island with the contraband stored at Brown's hotel. Troopers found 240 quarts of gin. 360 quarts of whiskey as well as champagne, brandy and wine valued at 50,000 dollars. two cars and two trucks under gaurd carried the confiscated alcohol to the Batavia Barracks where it was secured until turned over to federal authorities."
In 1924 Armon was the Post Master of Sodus Point NY, and later became a Prohibition Officer.
In 1929 Armon married Elizabeth (Betty) Kohler june 30,1929 and had one son (11) Lawrence Armon. june 14 1929.
In 1930 they moved to Lockport NY and later built the house on Lockport rd in Sanborn just east of Nash rd. which still remains though slightly larger now. At the beginning of WWII Armon reinlisted and rose to the rank of Major and supposedly worked in intelligence through out the war. Amon sent home war trophys from both world wars and had a collection of guns, swords and other militaria as well as shipwrights tools and half hull ship models the came from the boatyards in Kittery, which had later become the US Naval shipyards. In the late 1960's early 70's Armon and Betty moved to Mt. Union Pa. where Betty's sister Agness Kohler lived near by. I was fortunate to spend a week in 1972 at Their house located adjacent to the American Legion Golf Course in Mt.Union Pa. and again after he died in 1986 when I and my brother Mike along with our father Lawrence discovered and unloaded an arsenal of weapons. There were loaded rifles, a BAR purchased durring prohibition, and numerous hand guns through out the house and even in the two cars.
(11) Lawrence Armon married Nina Ann Harvey (Dutton) in 1954 and had four boys Tim April 1955 David Aug 2 1956 Alexzander Aug 11 1959 and Mike in 1962 Lawrence worked for GE under contract to Nasa and we moved from Syracuse NY to Daytona Fla in 1959-60 and then to Huntsville Ala in 1964.
At this point I have connected the Pilgrim's to the Moon as Laurence Armon worked for NASA when man first stepped on the moon.
