Mrs Jennings talks quite openly about Mrs Palmer being pregnant. In ch 26 she asks Col Brandon about her size. Was it common to discuss pregancy issues, or was Mrs J merely being her usual vulgar self?

Piranha 3D is a horror movie which is a second remake of Piranha, which was first produced in 1978. Piranha 3D is directed by Alexandre Aja. There are also many people working in the studio to produce exciting visual effect. With hard work of these people, many people would regard this movie as a very worth watching movie.
In order to make this movie more exciting than the previous movies of Piranha, director has spent time and effort to improve quality of movies. There were a lot of improvements made in this movie and plot was amended in order to make audience love this movie. As you may know, there are plenty of people who have watched Piranha series, either in movie form or in drama series. Therefore, people would have a higher and higher expectation for quality of movies in this topic.
Luckily, most of people watching this movie have given a positive comment on the quality of it. They reflected that they love watching this movie because the idea was new. For instance, Jessica Szohr as well as Kelly Brook would be starring in this movie and these hot girls would increase the incentive for people to watch this movie.
In this film, they would be bikini ladies and they would experience a lot of horrible moments during the attack from Piranha. For people who are interested in watching performance of them, this 3-D movie would be great for them to have a close look on them.
According to people who have watched previous Piranha movies, this movie is almost brand new and they would not realize that this is actually a remake. Improvements were made and this helped the movie to win support from many fans of horror movies. You would be able to scream crazily in this movie.
If you think that you would not scream easily when you watch horror movies, you could also watch Piranha 3D and you may break your habit and scream with the others together. No one would think that this movie is not scary and this is the reason why supporter of horror movies all think that this is a good movie.
For people who are not used to watch horrible movies, Piranha 3D would not be a suitable choice for them. It is because 3D visual effect from this movie makes this movie like a real experience of those characters and you would easily think that you are one of the main characters as well. Therefore, you are advised to think twice before you watch this movie if you are not used to watch horror movies. Otherwise, you may cry easily and run away from the cinema.
To conclude, Piranha 3D is a worth watching movie if you are interested in horror movies. Some people even say that they would not be willing to go to seaside anymore after they watch this movie. No doubt, these people may only be exceptional cases. But the fact is that you would be regret if you do not watch this movie.

Working to remove barriers to voting and improve election administration across the United States.
There is certainly a lot going on in Wisconsin in the week leading up to its Tuesday primary. The state is one of thirteen to have enacted a voter ID requirement. FELN has been an outspoken opponent of such laws which disproportionately affect students, low-income, and minority voters, placing new barriers on their right to vote.
Last week's primary election in Wisconsin gave us some of the first stories about how voter ID would affect citizens on Election Day.
When defenders of voter ID laws stand up and say that the regulations protect their citizens and our democracy, there's more than one lie being told. First, rather than protect our democracy, voter ID laws actually disproportionally affect the rights of elderly, working, student, and minority voters. Second, the laws, which are aimed at curbing the yet-to-be-seen problem of "voter fraud" will actually cost tax payers millions and millions of dollars to implement. Taking a look at the numbers shows a side of voter ID laws that their supporters fail to mention.
There was a lot of news to wake up to this morning on voter ID. Here's a quick rundown of the headlines you might want to keep track of:
The New York Times "Will Voter ID Laws Disenfranchise Democratic Voters?"
Originally posted on The Huffington Post
Yesterday the New Hampshire House of Representatives passed an initiative that would make it infinitely harder for students to vote in state by radically redefining "domicile" for voting purposes If the proposal became law, anyone who wants to vote in New Hampshire will first have to register all vehicles in the state and get a New Hampshire driver's license.

BIOGRAPHY Huang Xiao Ming, born November 13, 1977 in Qingdao, China, is a Chinese actor, best known for his portrayal of the lead character of "Yang Guo" in The Return of the Condor Heroes. After graduating from the Performance Institute of Beijing Film Academy in 2000, Xiao Ming became popular in 2003 after attaining roles in three television series which were released in China. At the end of 2003, Huang was badly injured after his car turned over while he was driving through a mountainous area to a filming location. However, his immediate reappearance on the set with a neck brace impressed the media and his fans. In 2006, Xiao Ming was chosen to portray the lead role in the latest television adaptation of Jinyong's famous wuxia novel The Return of the Condor Heroes, which was finally decided after several months of contemplation by the production team. Huang Xiaoming finally gained the lead role, playing condor hero "Yang Guo". Other high-profile roles include that of Emperor Wu of Han in the TV series Da Han Tian Zi.

text: One man is forced to go back to the dangerous life he struggled to leave behind in this action-thriller. Dirk Longstreet (Oliver Gruner) is a man who learned to fight and fight well, and put that talent to use in the most punishing environment imaginable. Longstreet was lured into "the Circuit," a private (and illegal) fighting club where spectators will bet fortunes on no-holds-barred battles in which two men fight until they simply can't go on -- often until one of the fighters has died. Longstreet was one of the very few men who not only fought in the Circuit and lived to tell about it, but managed to move on and build a new life for himself. Longstreet joined the faculty of a college, where he enjoyed working with athletes, until he learned that his younger brother, Jeremy (Ilya Morelle), had been recruited to become the Circuit's newest fighter. Now Longstreet must step back into the ring in order to spare his brother the fate he was able to escape. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Help!I've got a feral baby 2 weeks old living in a box around 8 feet off the ground. The strangest thing started happening around 3 days ago. The mom hadn't been around much for a day or so .. and the dad was clearly agitated ..pacing around the roof line and he seemed to be calling out for her. The dad was still feeding the baby and the baby looked to be fine.
I finally saw the mother in the nest with the baby and another pigeon in there with them who was not the dad day before yesterday!!!. I thought it was so odd. The mom was feeding the baby and the other black pigeon was pecking at her back and head. Haven't seen the mom since. Yesterday I was gone most of the day .. I only saw the dad come once that I know of to feed... but I did see the same black pigeon hanging around the roof. When I got up just now the baby was on the ground huddled in a corner, sort of wedged between a potted plant and the house. (I've got a dog pen fence around the area...for safety) And in the box ...was that damned black pigeon!! DId he push the baby out of the nest? and take over the box?? Should I put the baby back in the nest??? UPDATE .. the dad just showed up and once again, seemed very agitated. He appeared to be searching the box and then the baby started squeaking on the ground below. The dad looked down and saw him .. but flew off without feeding him. Last edited by NewPigie; 9th July 2008 at 08:32 AM. |
Wow - that's a tough one... a little out of my league but let me look around and see who's online that may be able to provide better advice. In the meantime I'd suggest putting the youngster back in the box/nest (assuming the black pigeon is no longer there). Hopefully the dad will come back to feed the little guy. You can try dribbling some water from your fingers onto his beek if you think he might be thirsty. I'm assuming he's not drinking on his own yet.
Other than that - hang on & I'll see if I can find someone to give you better guidance. Thanks for looking out for this little guy

Thank you Dez. The dad has come around twice now. He sat in the nest for a few minutes and then ...He even landed on the ground inside the pen ...but didn't feed the baby. The baby isn't moving around much .. he didn't scatter when put my hand up to him. I'm afraid to put him back because I don't want that black pig pushing him out again ...I'm going to give him some water like you suggested. |
I understand how you feel about putting the baby back in the nest. It IS a good sign that the Dad has returned though. I was just reading another thread about a baby piji - I think around the same age as yours. Some of the advice given there may be helpful - http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/f23/fe...uab-27881.html
Especially putting some seed out by the baby - although the baby won't be able to eat seed just yet, the Dad will probably appreciate & enjoy it and make it easier to find the baby too.

Hey, I'm back..............what it sounds like to me is that Mom has taken up with another pigeon. I don't know how often this happens in the wild feral pigeons, but it does occasionally happen in lofts.
I would be afraid of putting that baby back in the box if the black pigeon is still coming around. Hens usually pick the nesting spot. Well, the males PICK it, but if the lady doesn't like it, he has to go find another spot. It's very possible, and sounds like, Mom has brought another gentleman to her house. Now whether Dad will let him stay or kick his butt, remains to be seen, but you certainly don't want Junior in the midst of any fights that might take place. So..............I would try putting the baby somewhere where Dad can find it and see if he will still continue to feed and take care of it. IF the black pigeon goes away, then put the baby back in the box. IF he stays, Dad will most likely leave and the baby will be abandoned in all likely hood. This is something that you'll have to keep an eye on and see how it goes. Let us know what else takes place. You've got a regular Peyton Place going on there.

Hi NP.
OK, so if I have it right....there is now NO baby in the nest any longer....the baby has been booted but is safe for the time being on the ground...and the dad is aware of where the baby is, has come down to it.... but has not fed the baby (or at least not that you have observed). Putting seed near the baby is a thought...since the dad would likely come down to eat the seed and perhaps feed the baby. If the baby is 2 weeks old, that's good...he/she is becoming robust enough that they can take a bit of jostling or miss a few meals without perishing. My concerns are: 1) The baby may have been injured in the fall. When the dad isn't there....go to the baby and pick her up...see if you see any signs of anything broken...a limp wing or leg. Also observe if the baby is clear-eyed and alert, or if she is close-eyed and un-energetic. If she tries to scamper away and tries to evade you, that's a good sign. If she is very lethargic, though...that's not a good sign. 2) the baby may be OK, but the dad may be giving up on raising, due to the interloper who aggressively has broken their house. In which case....check the baby's crop (this is below here beak and throat...it's like her stomach which sits in front of her chest/ribs...) If it looks like a little balloon or beanbag...then she is getting fed...you have just not seen it. But if you see no sign that there is any fleshy, puffy sort of "bag" under her chin/blow her throat...then, indeed, the dad has not been feeding her. 3) The ground is not a good place for the baby, even with the dog fence (good thinkin', though). It may keep a dog out...but it won't keep a cat out, or a mouse or rat, or another bird. So you are gonna have to change that location before nightfall.....or the baby may well be killed by another animal. 1) If visibly injured, or acting very listless/lethargic, sleepy-eyed and unalert...you should bring the baby in ASAP....because it is likely sick or injured. 2) If it is alert and his crop shows some signs of food...then that's great. Then the dad hasn't given up on him/her. Then it's a matter of relocating her new 'digs' to a safer place and letting dad keep on keepin' on (if he is willing to deal with another relocation). But you should still get her off the ground and keep observing. 3) If he seems OK but it's crop is empty....then that is something which isn't all that great. The dad may have given up on him....or maybe he's just not feeling safe enough to feed him. The birdie will need food and hydration...at this age they can last w/o it for about a day or two, tops. You can observe for the rest of the day and see if she gets fed at all.... Regardless of all 3 possibilities, regardless of her condition....the birdie shouldn't stay on the ground into the evening. The chances of something getting her is too great. So, even if dad is around, bring her in for the night at least. A small box with a towel liner, maybe a heat pad if you have one (on low) or if not, just keep the box in a warm room (sceen or wire mesh as a top). Drop some seed in the box (somethimng smaller than sunflower, such as safflower or budgie/parakeet mix)...at 2 weeks, sometimes they are beginning to peck at solids. If you see dad in AM, put baby back out there and see if he attends to her or shows interest. Keep us posted. Last edited by Jaye; 9th July 2008 at 11:18 AM. |
Thank you so much for your concern. Considering the circumstances I think I would just take the baby and raise it. The first thing I thought of was perhaps the black pigeon is a female and wants the father.
You have already been given good advice. From your description, the baby is way too young to eat on its own so you will have to feed it. If you have a dog or cat that eats dry dog/cat food, soak some of the pellets in hot water, allow to cool, then break off bits to feed the baby. It will not need any water if you do this. The ideal thing to feed a baby pigeon is Exact hand feeding formula which you can purchase at most any pet store. Just follow the directions on the package only make the formula just a bit more watery than they state. Here are some links that will show you how to feed a baby formula. With the pellets, you simply open the beak and place small pieces towards the back of the throat. In this first one, Cynthia is feeding the pigeon seed but you would do the same with pellets. http://youtube.com/watch?v=uU1SO0ZJoow In this one, Cynthia is feeding the baby Exact by the "balloon" method. http://www.urbanwildlifesociety.org/...j&DuvFeedg.htm This is the Kaytee site which has some good information. I think they mostly show parrots but the same instructions would apply to baby pigeons. http://kaytee.com/companion_animals/birds/hand_feeding/ Again, thank you so much. One last thing - a member suggested putting the baby out during the day to let the dad feed it. This is a good suggestion but you need to make sure you watch in case a cat or other predator tries to hurt the baby, or, if the dad is not feeding it.

First .. thank you all so much for taking the time to help me out.
I just got back from being out for a bit ... my husband kept an eye on things ... The dad has been hanging VERY close and did come down to eat the seed we put out. I just checked the baby and his crop looks good and full .. and my husband said he was moving around well when his dad was down there. He doesn't appear to be hurt but he wasn't exactly happy about my trying to pick him up ..I thought it was good that he backed away from my hands. I know the ground seems dangerous but truth is .. this will be our 3rd feral brood in what we refer to as the "gated community" and we haven't had any trouble with intruders. There are several potted plants to hide out behind in that corner. Uno, our first baby was on the ground after jumping out of the flower pot when he was about 3 weeks old. The dad seemed really comfortable feeding him down there and taking him out the opening for flying lessons. |
Renee |
Hey...don't rag on Mom...maybe she came from a broken home, too....
I think we may need to get all THREE of them on Dr. Phil (since Jerry Springer is unavailable)...but until then.... It's GREAT news that the lil' one still looks active and not injured and has a full crop. That's excellent. All I can say is...PLEASE do what you can to critter-proof that area. Cats and rodents are awfully wily in their abilities to get where you think they cannot. Keep us posted. |
Ha! I thought this sort of shady sneaky stuff was limited to humans!
It's all about the kids is right! I wish I knew of a safer place to move them .. but I'm in Phoenix and it's so brutally hot and we're getting into our monsoon season too. The shady little corner seems tried and true (or as close as I'll get). Thanks everybody! |
But the most unexpected divorce happened when Jose and Josefina, a match made in heaven, had their first clutch. The babies were not yet 20 days old when Jose moved another hen into the flat next door and Josefina took up with a younger and less disabled pigeon. BTW, on the subject of "Recognition of Young", this is from Feral Pigeons by Richard E Johnston and Marian Janiga, a good but rare (and therefore expensive) book: "Adult feral pigeons do not recognize their own offspring at 10 to 12 days. More than that, the parents are markedly site-specific and will return to the nestsite rather than brood chicks that have been experimentally placed 20 cm to 30 cm from the nest (Angal't 1982)...Adults are capable of recognizing their own young at about the time they fledge and make short exploratory flights (Goodwin 1977; Angal't 1982, Cramp 1985)." If the father is feeding him, it is most probably in response to the chick begging when the father is in the vicinity...in pigeon colonies, orphaned squabs beg from the adults and are often fed. Cynthia
...while all the time your dear full-throated pigeons will be heard, and the turtledove high in the elm will never bring her cooing to an end. (Virgil) |

Renting a cycle
Posted by Ross Werland
Auto Europe, my favorite car-rental outlet in Europe, has added motorcycles to its fleet in the United States and Canada. This includes motorcycles from Harley Davidson, Honda and BMW motorcycles and scooters from Vespa. But the company didn't stop there. It's also offering ATVs, snowmobiles and jet skis at 66 major tourist destinations.
Brace yourself. Rental rates for a motorcycle begin at $130 per day (based on a week rental) in Dallas or Los Angeles, $155 per day in Miami or Phoenix. Helmets are included with all motorcycle rentals and saddlebags. Prices include unlimited mileage, an environmental surcharge of 5.5 percent, local sales tax, maps and suggestions and state mandatory liability insurance (for U.S. rentals).

While there is no proven correlation between the quality of one's educational institution and the quality of one's professional competence, it is often an indicator. Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

Ulster GAA Writers' Association
The Dr McKenna Cup annually introduces a number of new faces but it also gives some established stars the chance to shake off the winter cobwebs and get up to speed for the season ahead.
It also gives players a chance to re-launch their careers and nobody grabbed that chance better than Fermanagh's SEAMUS QUIGLEY who cracked home 3-21 in two full games and two half games. For that scoring blitz and, also for his overall performances, the Roslea sharp-shooter earns our Quinn Direct /UGAAWA Merit Award for January 2012.
Seamus Quigley receives his Monthly Merit Award from Nicola Gormley, a Customer Focus Co-ordinator with Quinn Direct, and UGAAWA secretary John Martin.
Picture by Peadar McMahon.
"It was a pretty good month for the team (Fermanagh) and for me and it is very good to win this award," agreed Seamus (23). "Awards are always nice to get. The McKenna Cup is a good competition and it gets players involved in competition early in the year. It is good preparation for the season ahead."
Quigley has already collected two Fermanagh Senior Football Championship medals with his club, Roslea Shamrocks, and "a couple of league medals, as well."
"I'm glad to collect this award, as well. It is nice to be recognised personally," he said.
There were other notable achievements from players during January and, in the final countdown, Seamus Quigley breezed past Tyrone's Owen Mulligan who has re-invented his county career with the Red Hands.
The winner was presented with his award at a function in Quinn's Corner, on Monday, February 6, by Nicola Gormley, a Customer Focus Co-ordinator with Quinn Direct. Seamus received an engraved Belleek Living Vase, specially designed silver cuff links from Omeath jeweller Garrett Mallon, training gear from O'Neill's International Sports and an UGAAWA sports voucher.

Identity Thiefs Strike Marshall Area
Police investigate potential fraud ring in Marshall MARSHALL, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) – Police are investigating a potential fraud ring in the Marshall area.
We're told they've identified more than 30 victims, and that number is growing.
The victims involved say they shopped at stores in the Marshall area on Friday, then their bank accounts were drained. The money has been spent from California to New York to Canada.
Police are trying to figure out who is responsible, and have been looking into how they could have accessed the account information.
As of right now, they simply aren't certain.
Police suggest that consumers beware, and offer a few tips:
*Use an ATM inside a bank, as opposed to outside.
*Never hand your card to anyone unless you have to.
*Check your accounts regularly.
*Make sure you have ID protection.

On October 31, 2011 a girl was dangling off the edge of the GW bridge. Several cop cars showed up a few minutes later after several 911 calls. Asked what she was doing, she said: "Enjoying life." Strangely poetic that one person's enjoyment of life can appear to so many as a desire for death.
The painter heard me laughing and, without looking down, said "Boogie's looking at you sideways, isn't he?"

Ever since he came onto the scene in the '80s, Mickey Rourke has been one of my favorite entertainers. Back then, he was poised to be one of the great performers of his generation, combining soulful acting ability with movie star good looks. But personal problems, addictions, and a stab at a boxing career left his career in the gutter, one that he's been climbing out of ever since.
These days, his voice is filled with gravel and his good looks are gone (thanks to a botched plastic surgery), but Mickey Rourke movies are just as entertaining as ever. In fact, they may be even more powerful than before, because Rourke has the age and experience to pull off characters who've been to hell and back.
While movies such as The Wrestler, Diner, and Angel Heart remain must-see Mickey Rourke movies, I also wanted to highlight a few roles that might otherwise be passed over by the casual viewer. Most of the films listed feature Rourke in a standout performance, while others are notable for their sheer weirdness. In either case, fans of Mickey Rourke movies should get a real kick out of them.
On an interesting side note, here are few roles that Mickey Rourke turned down over the years:
- Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) from 48 Hrs.
- Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) from Beverly Hills Cop
- Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) from Pulp Fiction
- Charlie Babbit (Tom Cruise) from Rain Man
- Elliott Ness (Kevin Costner) from The Untouchables
- Johnny Ringo (Michael Biehn) from Tombstone
While all of the above would've made for some interesting Mickey Rourke movies, it's hard to imagine anyone but the listed actors playing the parts. Still, I imagine Rourke has been kicking himself for years for turning them down.
- John Sedley from Johnny Handsome (1989) – In sort of a reversal of real life, Rourke plays a career criminal who goes from strange-looking to handsome thanks to a doctor played by Forest Whitaker. Once he's supposedly reformed and released from prison, John wastes no time in plotting his revenge against the man who put him inside in the first place. Lance Henriksen plays the heavy, while Morgan Freeman and Ellen Barkin co-star. Rourke gets to show off his intense side as a man looking for payback, but his scenes as a deformed crook are also filled with the expected levels of pathos.
- Captain Stanley White from Year of the Dragon (1985) – Despite having to play a character 15 years older than his actual age, Rourke delivers a riveting performance as a dedicated and casually racist cop obsessed with bringing down the Chinese underworld in New York City. His relationships with the women in his life are especially interesting, including a middle-aged wife (Caroline Kava) and a Chinese-American mistress (Ariane Koizumi). But there's also plenty of action to be had, including a climactic shootout that's especially thrilling.
- Armand "The Blackbird" Degas from Killshot (2009) – The film itself is nothing to write home about, but Rourke does deliver an interesting performance in this big-screen adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel about a married couple (Thomas Jane and Diane Lane) on the run from a pair of mob hitmen (Rourke and Joseph Gordon-Levitt). Rourke excels as the part-Indian assassin saddled with a psychotic partner, and his scenes with Lane and Rosario Dawson (playing his sometime-girlfriend) are especially strong. Too bad the film is such a mess, but that's what three years of post-production will get you.
- Jan the Actress from Animal Factory (2000) – Directed by Steve Buscemi and based on the novel by Edward Bunker (Mr. Blue from Reservoir Dogs), Animal Factory revolves around a young man (Edward Furlong) who's sent to San Quentin and winds up being mentored by a fellow inmate (Willem Dafoe). While his role is only a supporting one, Rourke turns heads as a well-muscled drag queen who loves the arts. Without a doubt, one of the more unusual and well-received roles for the actor.
- The Cook from Spun (2002) – When he's not arguing with his girlfriend (Brittany Murphy), going down to the porn shop to "buy some fuck flicks," or hanging out with a bizarre-looking Eric Roberts, The Cook is making another batch of his famous meth. Rourke talks with a slight speech impediment, wears cowboy boots with his jeans tucked inside, and rants about the value of pornography. But the role isn't strictly comedic, as a soul-baring scene with star Jason Schwartzman will leave more sensitive viewers fighting back tears.
- Henry Chinaski from Barfly (1987) – Years before his life fell apart for real, Rourke starred in this gin-soaked tale from writer Charles Bukowski. As a skid-row poet and author, Henry Chinaski spends most of his time drinking his life away or banging barflies such as Wanda Wilcox (Faye Dunaway) or Tully Sorenson (Alice Krige). There's a catfight between the ladies, not to mention several showdowns between Henry and his local bartender (Frank Stallone). Rourke does an admirable job of playing a man who's lost himself in booze and self-pity, and he navigates the tricky emotional waters with rare ability. It's one long bender from start to finish, so recovering alcoholics should avoid the film entirely.
- Stavros from Double Team (1997) – Rourke plays the bad guy, an international terrorist who vows revenge after Jean-Claude Van Damme's secret agent accidentally kills his kid. Rourke is muscled up beyond belief, and his interaction with co-star Dennis Rodman is worth the price of admission alone. And let's not forget the climactic fight sequence that includes Rourke, Van Damme, Rodman; a tiger; a minefield; and a baby.
- Marv from Sin City (2005) – Rourke is perfectly cast in this Robert Rodriguez adaptation of Frank Miller's hard-boiled graphic novel. Playing a massive ex-con named Marv, Rourke shrugs off bullets and fists in his quest to punish whoever killed Goldie (Jaime King), a prostitute he shared a one-night stand with. As he tears the city apart (not to mention cops, gangsters, and religious leaders), Marv demonstrates that even the most hardened man isn't immune to a little compassion. And you'll absolutely love his interaction with his lesbian parole officer (Carla Gugino) and a creepy-quiet serial killer (Elijah Wood) with a thing for eating women. Mickey Rourke at his grizzled best.
- The Motorcycle Boy from Rumble Fish (1983) – Rourke gets to brood a lot in this Francis Ford Coppola film based on the novel by S.E. Hinton. As a legendary former gang leader, Motorcycle Boy tries to steer his younger brother (Matt Dillon) down a more peaceful path, all while contending with his reputation as a badass and a contentious relationship with his alcoholic father (Dennis Hopper). Besides, any self-respecting fan of Mickey Rourke movies will be drawn to a role where he's partially deaf, colorblind, and somewhat off-kilter.
- Graff from The Last Outlaw (1994) – During the filming of this TV movie, Rourke displayed strange behavior to rival that of Marlon Brando. Playing a former Confederate officer who becomes an outlaw after the conclusion of the war, Rourke wears a Fu-Manchu moustache and reportedly turned to kabuki theatre for inspiration. As the manipulative Graff, he winds up switching sides and hunting down his own men. But despite his odd behavior, the TV project has gained a passionate following among Western movie fans. Co-starring Dermot Mulroney, Ted Levine, Steve Buscemi, John C. McGinley, and Keith David.
That concludes my list of Mickey Rourke movies you might not be aware of. From the well-acted to the downright bizarre, each and every one of the roles above showcase Rourke's abilities in a different way. If you've only recently discovered this talented performer, dive right in and have yourself a ball.

This "I love Hipstamatic" Pack includes Lens "Purple Glimmer" and the rest of the 10 five custom-made Film borders. The final result is a image with violet-blueish shadows and greenish highlights, low on contrast with subtle starburst effect from centre. The action will reproduce a close effect to the original lens, however like most of my action, all the layers are left intact. It gives you the flexibility to manipulate the image result to your taste, option which (I have to say!) HipstamaticApp doesn't give you. I personally recommend to use this action on light images for best results.

Planning to visit the Key River Area of Georgian Bay some time this summer. I have not been on this web-page much the last couple of years due to other interests such as wildlife photography. Than you for your interest in this web-page. I have never placed any ads on this web-page for pay but WordPress has to offset their cost of running the blog page. I could say & write much more about The Key River Area of Georgian Bay but half the fun of wilderness camping & fishing is discovering for yourself the many marvels of the great outdoors. The Georgian Bay is big & there are many places you can explore & lots of wildlife to excite. If my blog page got you there it has served it;s purpose. Talk to the old timers who camped there in 1930 to 1950 & hear their stories of the great yellow pickerel runs, the huge pike & muskie. The fur traders who used canoes to move their goods across country. The fishing & canning industry worked this area for many years. You will see the remains of their businesses. Hope to see you there soon.
Ivan Kewakundo Key River Area Fishing Guide Key Harbour Lodge
This is Ivan the native person that was so kind & nice to us when we camped out in The Key River Area Of The Georgian Bay.
He told us to follow him when he took out fishing parties for Key Harbour Lodge & he would show us where all the good spots were.
He always used & red & white Daredevil ( middle sized one ) & 20 pound line.
As I recall Ivan would sometimes put his head on top of the boat motor & sleep while his party was catching one fish after another in the same spot.
Ivan knew this area better than anyone & could take you places way back in very few knew about.
He knew where to find big yellow pickerel that would get stranded in deep holes when the spring flow subsided & he would take people there to catch them on night crawlers.
He knew where really big largemouth were & in fact had customers catch them on night crawlers back in the area of the bass hole.
Al Lytle also knew about surface lure fishing for largemouth back there as I can recall him taking his young son back to fish for largemouth one year after we told him they were hitting on the surface.
Ivan went way back in one day & never came out & I heard it took them three days to find his body where he had passed away.
They finally found his boat but had no idea where he had gone inland on this particular island.
Ivan knew all the islands all the way out to the Bad River & beyond.
He was trully a legend to me , countless other fishermen & outdoorsmen who were blessed to have crossed his path.
Thanks Ivan!
How & Where To Catch Large Yellow Pickerel (walleye) Trolling At Night On Georgian Bay
The seven inch black & silver floating original Rapala is the best yellow pickerel trolling lure for anywhere in Georgian Bay or Canada for night time slow trolling.
Jam your knot down to the bottom of the eye to keep the nose down & place a split shot eighteen inches ahead of the lure & do not use a wire leader.
I always double my line & tie the knot with doubled line to make it stronger.
Sometimes I tie short four inch solid s.s. wires on mine with wire bending pliers just in case a pike or muskie hits.
If you know how to tie The Albright Special knot you can attach a cable to your line & tie that to your Rapala with an s knot to keep the action perfect with a leader.
The s knot will not fail even though it looks like it would.
If you know how to tie a Bimini Twist you can double your line for four feet ahead of your lure & there is no stronger arrangement as it is used in heavy salt water fishing.
Both of these knots can be found in fly fishing magazines.
I have never caught very many pike or muskie after dark so it really is not necessary.
I prefer twenty pound test line for all Georgian Bay casting & trolling but you can go as low as twelve to fourteen pound test & the lure will run deeper.
I have caught many big pickerel with the twenty pound line & the last time I was out at Dallas Rapids in June I got a seventeen pound pickerel with it.
Put the lure into the water & test it's action with a flashlight to see if it is running nose down & side to side action is right & adjust your trolling speed accordingly.
Let out only fifty feet of line or no more than seventy five feet & hold your rod tip to the water & hold your rod in one hand while you steer & operate the motor with the other hand.
This way you can feel if the lure is touching bottom & move your boat in or out further to adjust accordingly.
You want the lure to run one to three feet off the bottom but not touching bottom.
Big pickerel in Georgian Bay move into shallow water after dark to feed in & around rocks & shoals & that is where you will have the best luck.
The bay just past Key Harbour Lodge is good at night at times & just about anywhere you find shoals out around islands in the big water you will find yellow pickerel feeding at night.
Crystal clear water is best for night time trolling & you will find that out & around all the islands & shoals close to the big water.
The pickerel are very hard to catch in this clear water in the daytime as they stay in deep water at that time for the most part.
In Georgian Bay pickerel travel in schools & follow large schools of ciscoes where-ever they go.
If a school of ciscoes move into the area you are fishing & you are trolling Rapalas you will get them & quickly.
Troll right down the side of the shoals in shallow water but keep the lure from hitting bottom.
You can use the smaller Rapala in four foot water as it does not run as deep as the seven inch model which goes down to about seven or eight feet with fifty feet of line out.
Just keep at it & troll real slow until you catch them feeding or find where they are.
The best nights are when the wind & water is dead & there is no fog on the water.
The full moon nights are the absolute best.
Do not worry about the short line length at night.
I have caught hundreds of them with fifty feet of line out.
Believe me they will come after your lure when they see it as it looks like a cisco & that is their prime food in Georgian Bay.
Trolling in back bays is hard because of weeds so you have to go out where there are no weed-beds in the water that will foul your lure.
The best big yellow pickerel night time trolling is out on The French River in The Dallas Rapids area & the best time is usually around June 10 of each year.
They make their big run there every year & it lasts for about ten days.
They get plenty of yellow pickerel fifteen pounds & up to seventeen pounds is quite common.
The Bad River area is also good.
There are lodges at both places & you would do well to contact them before you go to get all the information ahead of time.
I do not know what the name of the lodge at Dallas Rapids is but it is usually booked for the yearly run anyway.
It used to be called Camp Mc Intosh or something like that.
The Bustard Islands are fabulous for night time pickerel trolling also but I have never been out there.
They are thirty five square miles & surrounded by dangerous shoals & storms are really bad out there at times.
There is no better place in North America for really big trophy yellow pickerel & most of them are taken using the methods I have described.
There are plenty of places to camp out & around French River & Bad River if you can not get a cabin or lodge.
This is bear country & there are many out there & you need to be aware of that.
There are also many rattlesnakes on the islands.
From the road this is a twenty plus mile trip by boat depending on your route or how rough the bay is so you will need to take extra gasoline & a small spare motor with you & do not forget anything.
I prefer my twelve foot Lund & 9.9. H.P. Johnson for slow trolling because bigger motors shake to much at slow speed & the Johnson is smoother & quieter.
The fifteen H.P. also trolls smooth as it is the same motor as the 9.9 with bigger carb.
Some fishermen put a trolling motor bracket on the transom of their big boat & use this motor to troll & use their big motor to get places fast.
The 9.9 matched with a twelve foot Lund like mine really moves out with one man in it.
We usually take two twelve foot boats & fish one man to a boat.
Get the biggest landing net you can find for Georgian Bay.
You may need it.
Big Georgian Bay Yellow Pickerel Will Chase Down A Seven Inch Silver & Black Floating Rapala Trolled Slowly At Night Fifty Feet Behind Your Boat & Literally Knock The Hell Out Of It & Try To Yank Your Rod Right Out Of Your Hand.
If It Feels Like A Snag It's A Big One.
If you are not the trolling type & prefer live bait fishing & know where the good holes are you can catch big yellow pickerel by dropping nightcrawlers (worms) down in 35 feet of water.
I know one good hole & there are usually boats there fishing for them down deep & I have seen them take many up to 17 pounds this way.
I have also heard of fishermen tying a ballon to a pickerel's tail with a long string & following the small balloon to know where the pickerel are & then cast jigs deep with Mr. Twister Tails.
One year I caught a 3 pound Blue Pike in The Georgian Bay Bass Hole & this fish was thought to be extinct so I quickly released it unharmed. Had no camera at the time. This was back in 1988 or so.
A Blue Pike is a walleye (yellow pickerel) that is actually silverish blue all over & really shiny.
If you catch one of these the Canadian wildlife people would be interested in knowing that because this species in thought to be extinct.
I believe there are are few of them still spawning in this area in so much I have caught one in the past. There used to be millions of them in the great lakes. Take a picture & release unharmed for sure.
Bears, Moose, Wolves & Massasauga Rattlesnakes On Georgian Bay Islands
The bears below got into our campsite & would not leave so we did.
Massauaga Rattlesnake Video Ontario Canada Government
I accidentally stepped on this rattlesnake with sandals on & he did not bite me.
It was sitting on a portage trail near a carry going around what canoeist call a drop or normal people call falls.
They are very hard to spot when motionless because they blend in with the rocks.
He did not rattle until I touched him with my sandal.
I was wearing shorts & had no socks on.
Please do not kill these snakes as this is their home & we are visitors & they are important to the ecology of The Georgian Bay.
I have seen many more of them over the years including very big ones up to 4 1/2 feet long & very fat & they are not rare in this area.
If you go in the hot days of July or August you will see them lay out on the rocks near the water & wait for a frog or something else to eat.
When they are in our campsite I always catch them & move them to another area but I never harm them & I also know what I am doing.
If you don't please do not go near them.
I take special equipment to handle them properly & have hunted poisonous snakes for years in Florida & places like that.
If you leave them alone they will simply crawl away & go back to their den.
After they feed they go back into their dens & do not feed again for awhile.
They like to come out at night when it is really warm.
So always be careful when you get out of your tent at night & always look before you step anywhere at night.
If you get bit wrap the bite area loosely with an elastic bandage & keep beelow the heart & remaim calm & go directly to the road & find out where Parry Sound Hospital is & get there asap & there is also a hospital in Sudbury.
Do not cute the bite area or apply suction devices unless you have The Sawyer Snakebite Kit Suction Device with you which has to be used immdeiately to do any good & then it will only remove about 35% of the venom at best.
It would be a good idea to call the lodge owner where you parked & ask them for advice.
It is illegal to kill these snakes even if you get bitten by one of them.
Do not handle a dead snake as they can still bite after they are supposedly dead.
If you do kill the snake after you are bitten put it in a bucket or bag with a long stick & take it with you so the doctors can see what kind & size it is to determine how much anti-venom you will need which will depend on your size & weight etc.
They probably have to do a test first to see if you are allergic to the anti-venom.
Most people that go to Georgian Bay have never seen one of these rattlesnakes so if you do it is a thrill & an experience you will never forget.
Especially if you end up in the hospital with snake bite.
One of the local lodge owners once told me these snakes were very small & if you get bit is it about like getting stung by a bee as they have a small amount of venom.
She was telling a man that knew better.
This snake has a nasty venom & anyone bitten needs to get help quick or you could lose an arm or leg.
Believe me rattlesnake bites are serious no matter what kind or how large if they inject venom with the bite.
If not consider yourself lucky as that does happen & they call them dry bites & that was probably why she thought that was true.
The Massasauga or pigmy rattler has a very potent poison that can be more powerful than the diamond back, canebreak or timber rattlesnake.
A snake expert in Florida we used to sell live snakes to told me a massasuaga rattlesnake almost killed him & it was the worst snake bite he had ever experienced & he had been bitten over seventy times & even by cobras in the past.
They tell you very few people die but they do not tell you about all the amputations they have to do because of rattlesnake bites & tissue damage & infection & how it rots your skin or turns it totally black.
All rattlesnake bites are serious & require immediate hospital attention.
One year a young boy was bitten by a rattler chasing frogs out around Dead Island when we were up there & I have personally been struck several times but usually had my rubber boots on & did not get injected with venom.
There are wolves in this area but I have only ran across them once in 35 years.
One year we noticed strange scats that looked like dog but we thought they were bear.
They were all over the area we camped & there was a kill nearby with vultures & buzzards high overhead but we did not attempt to investigate it.
The third night we were there the moon was full & all of a sudden the cry of the wolf & right in our campsite were three wolves apparently chasing an injured moose.
They keep howling & chasing & we were shocked & had no idea what to do.
We got out of the tent after they left our camp & jumped into our canoe & started paddling to my son's campsite about a half mile away.
There were a couple of canoeist there nearby also & all of them were up & confused as no one had ever experienced wolves before.
We heard them howling all night long & then never again the remainder of our trip.
The only regret I have is that I did not have a tape recorder with me as that was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard in my life.
I will never forget it & at that time I had suspected that Fritts may have had something to do with that & was probably up there laughing like hell.
The wilderness does that to you.
We have caught a lot of moose & bears swimming across rivers over the years & sometimes you can hear moose snorting or calling in the morning or a bear turning over rocks or tearing rotten stumps at night while you are in your tent.
You will see trails that go in the water on islands where they swim across & if you camp there they will swim across there & go right by your campsite usually at night.

After a miserable winter, I was hoping that my first trip to Southern California would live up to the hype. I entered this as a destination race - and what a destination! Great weather, great fun, great volunteers on the course, and a great expo. Other than a wait in a queue to get into the expo, there wasn't anything I could complain about. I was especially wowed by all of the kids who came out to work the course and the water stations on the course - it was so uplifting that I really looked forward to the next water station! My only regret is that I have to leave.
This has to be the best-organized marathon I've run. The logistics for 2011 were flawless, from what I saw. Here are the overall pluses and minuses. Pros: - Weather was mostly in the 50's, plus no sun, thanks to an early start time. - Course was flat. - The marathon had good separation from the other races, whose runners made up 90% of the participants. - There was free parking for the marathoners, plus efficient shuttles to and from the race. - Plenty of fluids (although the PowerAde destroyed my stomach) and jello thingies at Mile 18 or so. - Fanwise, it isn't LA or NY in terms of numbers, but they really come out for the race and offer their support. - Course is clearly marked and the organizers were very friendly. - Best shirts and medals I've seen. - Price is a good deal compared to LA and the other majors, especially if you register early. Cons: - Mile 1-9 through are inland and fairly pretty, going through the marshes and parks, but the rest of the race is basically three laps on Pacific Coast Highway, which is fun the first time, but less so the next two. - The path was a little thin along the beachfront, but this is the price you pay for good scenery. Not much of a complaint. - The bands were incredibly loud; it's not that I don't love the Beach Boys, but the crooning and whining can drive a man insane after 12 miles of running. Basically, I would recommend this as a fun destination race, and one with good terrain/elevation, but, like most California races, it's hard to set a PR here.
I've now done 28 marathons and this was my 1st Surf City... though last year I did the half. Good vibrations... one of the better ones! Well organized: lots of energy, a nice, Trader Joe's-looking shopping bag, the coolest surfboard medal, and a pretty design on the long-sleeve tech shirt, too. These early start Cali Marathons don't draw the fans out early, but organizers can't help that. This is one to do!
Overall, a "must-do marathon" - if only for the awesome surfboard medal, and the amazing view of the Pacific Ocean for much of the course. Well organized, great volunteers and enthusiastic crowds! The whole vibe of the day is positive and fun. My only complaints are: Being sent back up PCH at mile 16, away from the finish area, when you can hear the finish line... just makes that last trek seem like forever. But I guess that's how they get a more scenic ocean course? A couple of places on the path (at the beach) were tight, and had non-participating runners, cyclists, and random people - causing a few close calls for collisions. And lastly, the finish area was completely fenced in, and I felt like I walked a mile to get out and find my friends. Just a little over-protected maybe? But really, minor little complaints. Overall, the day and experience were fantastic, and I will run this marathon again!
This was my first marathon and I couldn't have picked a better race. Pros: -Good course (minus the out-and-back on PCH, where you will be descended upon by the 18,000 half marathoners) -Great course for spectators, who can meet you easily at several points -Well organized - tons of porta-potties, water stations, and treats -Majority of the kids at the stations were hilarious and great cheerleaders (minus the few that yelled, "Only 23 more miles to go!"). -Fabulous bling (medal)- unique and appropriate for the venue! Things to change : -Marathon map needs to be adjusted - the turn onto the beach path indicated the turn would be at ~15.5 miles, but it occurred at ~16.5 -Mile markers needed to specify whether they were for the marathon or the half - Marathon instructions indicated 2 wave starts... but there were at least 4.... Oh... and it's amazing how the weather suddenly turned perfect for race day, regardless of the downpours that occurred the day before.
Pros: Great pre-race expo with polite volunteers and good merchandise. Very efficient set up. The course was full of beautiful views - even the portion through residential area was very nice. The wave start was a plus to prevent us from running over the top of the slower runners. The PCH is wide enough to spread everyone out fairly quickly and safely. Well staffed stations with good non-sweet electrolyte drink. Lots of porta-johns throughout the course. Extremely cool finisher's medal, and a nice, long-sleeve, tech shirt. The most efficient post-race recovery snack system I've seen (pre-filled post-race bags handed to runners towards the tail of the chute). Although there are many quiet sections along the course, the crowds cheering during the last few miles were very motivating to hear and see. Great race temperatures. Cons: Really unusual split increments, including no half split. Flat except for a couple of SERIOUS hills you hit between miles 6 - 10. They were supposed to have Lara Bars and other refueling treats at the mile 6/8 station, but I didn't see them if they were there. Don't remember seeing any gels anywhere along the course either. The last 12 miles were double out-and-back, which I'm not a fan of, but hey, it's along the PCH, so at least there were snow-capped mountains on one side and huge waves crashing on the beach on the other... simply beautiful. My only serious complaint is that the already narrow bike path along the beach was congested with MANY Surf City residents on bikes who seemed oblivious to the fact that we were racing. This was not only annoying for slowing us down, but it was a safety hazard for runners. Valuable tip: Spring for the Hyatt Spa and Resort. Share a room with a friend or two to make it more economical. You can easily get your packet pick up, and also walk/limp back to your room after the race. The Hyatt offers a $2 round-trip shuttle service to downtown, which is valuable to keep unnecessary mileage off your legs pre- and post-marathon, and saves money compared to the taxis at $7 - $10 one way. Plus the Hyatt is just an incredible resort with a nice pool and hot tub to enjoy after the race (BYOB though for money's sake). Also, I suggest staying an additional day and enjoy the downtown area without all of the other runners around. Great town, nice people, wonderful scenery, incredible food! I did this with two friends, one of whom BQ'd. We'll likely do this one each year for the getaway and for a truly wonderful race. Thanks, Surf City!
My friends and I do several "destination" marathons and half marathons a year. We chose this one for the sun, since it is winter where we are! We ran the marathon. I would have to say that this is really geared for the half, and the full is just an add on. Overall, the race was fine. It's a pretty run with mountains, ocean and a nice park all in view. Not much for fan support or entertainment on the course. The kids at the water stations were energetic. But I found a bit of a shortage of water nearing the last 8 miles. Packet pick up was fine. It was pretty crowded in the tents, so really, "shopping" for gear was out of the question. I did like that you could try on the shirts prior to receiving one to ensure a nice fit. It's a nice, long-sleeve, technical shirt. They had run out of full marathon maps, so my friends were left guessing as to the exact route. There were plenty of half marathon maps. My biggest problem with the event was that there was no gear check bags. At most of the races I've done, your packet pick up bag IS the gear check bag, and you label it with your race number. In an attempt to be green, they gave out reusable shopping bags that really couldn't be closed or labeled for gear check. Thankfully I had family present to hold my phone, keys, jacket, etc. But often this is not the case and could have been a big problem. The full marathon said it was going to have a 5-hour pacer, but there wasn't one, so I got behind the 4:45 pacer. There was no real organization to the start. They said we would start in 2 waves, but there was no time requirements for either wave. A bit confusing. We are slow, so we just headed for the back of the pack. The race start did take place under the moonlight and was quite pretty. The website describes a hill at mile 3-4 but we doubled back - likely due to the recent rains and ended up with a good sized hill at mile 9. That's about the time when the half marathoners started passing us. At first it was just the elites, and they were instructed to stay to the left, with the rest of us on the right. But then it became a full overtaking of faster runners juking in and out of us 10-minute-milers. I'm sure they were not excited about trying to get around us either. This went on for almost 8 miles before the full marathoners turned onto the beach. I found it mentally distracting. I had been on pace for a PR but being passed for nearly an hour I began to feel that I wasn't doing well. In a sport that requires so much mental toughness, you don't need that kind of discouragement during a marathon! Once on the beach, I thought it would be better, but then it really got interesting. They didn't close the trail (this was noted on the website), but I didn't realize how many people would be walking dogs, riding bikes, or even running (not as part of the race). Many were cutting in and out of the marathon runners. Couple this with less-than-ideal water stations and it made for a long last 10 miles. On a positive note, there were tons of porta pottys along the way and never a line. The finish line food was fine. Although, in a "green" marathon, they gave everyone a plastic bag filled with food. Some of which I wouldn't have taken. Then we made our way to the beer tent only to find that our 2 freebies were no longer available. They had run out of beer. We ended up with a beautiful sunny day after a chilly start, and it was a pretty course. I would not run this one again. The medal is pretty cool and I'll add it to my collection!
This is definitely a challenge! Of course, 26.2 foot-miles is no walk in the park in itself, but you certainly will be challenged here. I've run 2 Surf City Marathons and 2 Surf City Half-Marathons. I won't repeat some of the same pros and cons others have noted, but I'll hopefully add a few myself. On the subject of food provided on the course, they should add a few more liquid-type items such as gels, and/or oranges. Solids can end up stuck in your throat, which is what happened to me last year. Of course, you should bring your own, but cut oranges would certainly provide a welcome refreshment in that broiling sun. The up-and-back during the last 5 miles definitely wears on your mind and body, and an interesting diversion in the course would be welcome. Have cut bananas and BAGELS handy SOON after crossing the finish line, instead of having runners snake through crowds to the tent. In any event, that classic California ocean view just can't be beat!
The course for this race is easy to traverse but pretty stunning, especially with the last stretch of miles along the beach bike path, seeing the waves rolling in. The first few miles are also nice enough, going all around a local park. Out-and-backs are always fun because you can see friends and fellow racers coming and going. The staggered starts for the half made it a bit annoying, as the really fast halfers darted through the slower marathoners when we were in double digit miles and they were still fresh and strong. It was like bullets whizzing by - a bit scary! Organization was pretty fine. The expo is set up okay, but it is very warm and stuffy in the tent. But there was quite a bit to see and do. Race morning is not easy - parking is sort of hellish and far away! Post-race is fun, though, with coffee (it gets chilly despite the pretty sunshine), beer, and massages (which take forever to get to!). Spectators along the course were great, quite attentive to our needs, cheering, and even offering to splash water on me when I was really hot! Overall, another great experience here - it was my very first marathon in 2007, and now, almost 50 marathons later, it's still a gem! :)
I had a wonderful time at a great race. What a beautiful day for a run. The energy of the other competitors and the crowd was amazing.
