OscarÆ, EmmyÆ and BAFTA Award Winner Rob Legato To Speak At DCS 2011, Discuss Highly Anticipated Hugo Cabret 3D Feature
DCS 2011: 9-10 April, 2011 Las Vegas Register: http://www.smpte.org/events/DCS2011/White Plains, NY, 15 March 2011 - The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), the worldwide leader in motion-imaging standards and education, today announced that the OscarÆ, EmmyÆ, and BAFTA winner Rob Legato will speak at DCS 2011 at NAB. Legato, a highly regarded visual effects supervisor, director, and director of photography - as well as an expert in virtual and 3D production - will discuss his work on the highly anticipated 3D project from the director Martin Scorsese, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, which is scheduled for release Thanksgiving 2011. Legato will speak on Saturday, April 9, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. at the Las Vegas Convention Center in the South Hall Rooms S222/223.Spanning cinema, broadcast, and broadband, DCS 2011 - which is co-produced by SMPTE and NAB - is a premier industry technology event, drawing leading motion-imaging technologists, researchers, scientists, practitioners, manufacturers, and strategic thinkers. This year's gathering is themed Advances in Images and Sound: 3D, 4K, and Beyond. Register today at: www.smpte.org/events/DCS2011.Legato will address how the intentional use of 3D for its artistic merits can enhance the depth and breadth of character, locale, and story and, as a result, give audiences a more sophisticated appetite for feature films shot in 3D. He will also discuss the digital pre-visualization used to streamline and accelerate the 3D production of Hugo Cabret. "Hugo Cabret is one of the first primarily dramatic feature films to be entirely photographed in Digital Stereo. Not relying on typical Action, Adventure or Visual effects normally reserved for this technology, this drama totally embraces 3D solely for its artistic merits and unique ability to enhance the depth and breadth of character, locale, and story," said Legato. "Martin Scorsese produced, designed and directed every setup of this film specifically in 3D to explore and enhance the creative storytelling opportunities of this new art form." "We are now to the point that 3D is becoming part of the art form, not a production afterthought," said SMPTE president Pete LudÈ. "We're thrilled to have Rob Legato - a creative visionary who has already has an amazing body of work to his credit- discuss the technologies that are enabling this shift to take place."Credits Include Some of Industry's Most Popular, Iconic WorksOver the years, Legato has worked with Martin Scorsese in varying roles, including second unit director/cameraman and visual effects supervisor on The Aviator and Shutter Island and second unit director/cameraman on The Departed. Legato also served as second-unit director/cameraman and visual effects supervisor for Robert DeNiro's The Good Shepherd and as second unit director for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. He was also visual effects supervisor for Apollo 13, Cast Away, Titanic, and What Lies Beneath, and senior effects director for Bad Boys II. In addition to his production credits, Legato created and conceived the virtual cinematography pipeline and created the prototype of the virtual camera rig for Avatar.First in a Series of SMPTE 2011 Gatherings - Industry's Only Non-Commercial, Scientific Events DCS is one of a series of key 2011 SMPTE events, the only non-commercial, scientific gatherings to focus on breakthrough research and advanced technologies, practical applications of motion-imaging solutions, critical standards initiatives to drive business success, and key industry trends and future technology needs. These events include the 2nd Annual SMPTE International Conference on Stereoscopic 3D for Media and Entertainment (21 - 22 June in New York City) and the SMPTE 2011 Annual Technical Conference and Exposition (25 - 27 October in Hollywood).

Hi guys,
I made a program that checks the files on my computer and compares an md5 signature of it to a database. I am shocked at all the stuff that is changing constantly on your Windows directory.
My question is this. This file wpa.dbl is associated with Windows XP activation. Why would the md5 sig change on it? I can't imagine what would update and why it would update. Does anyone know?
In my program I am trying to hash out false positives for changes that happen "naturally" on the Windows OS. I am creating another version for Linux. It's all still in the alpha stages.
I searched google for it and found that you can copy it off incase you need to re-activate XP. The version I am running is a corporate version and has never been registered.

Christina Aguilera Responds to National Anthem Fumble
Christina Aguilera has responded to the discussion over her fumble of the lyrics to the National Anthem during her performance at the Super Bowl on Sunday (February 6).
WATCH: Christina Aguilera perform the National Anthem at Super Bowl XLV
" I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place," Christina shared in a statement to JustJared.com. "I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through."
Instead of singing the line "o'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming," Christina sang "what so proudly we watched at the twilight's last gleaming."
WHAT DID YOU THINK of Christina's National Anthem performance?

You'll notice some of these are series that are "Done" I just have high hopes that the series will spontainiusly continue, but some series that hope has burned out, I tagged such anime as, FIN
I feel as if you and me share this list, lets forget about the life outside and neet of to Anime.
I'm no neet, or otaku, I'm on the track team, straight A student, head of anime club, founder of ches club, member of unicycling, bocceball, business, and chineese clubs. I also get less than 2 hours of sleep a night after my job at Mc D's
Kuudere - Visit my Youtube channel
If i can watch the whole series any time i want then ill watch just one at a time.
Simulcasts, depending on how many shows i like from the list of those currently is what ill watch once a week.
Guest Pass Litter Moderator
At the beginning of a season is when I'm more likely to be watching a lot of different shows in one day, since I try to see the first few episodes of most of the new shows in a season--then I cull them. This weekend was kind of tough that way because I'd been too busy to watch much so had a pretty big backlog to get through to get up to date on simulcasts so I could decide which I wanted to continue watching over the rest of the season, and I set aside most of the weekend to do that. I don't usually get the shows confused but there was one instance in which I had a thought while watching one show, then realized what I was thinking related to the one I'd seen just before it.
But it is pretty normal for me to see two or three different shows in one day. I kind of have a system, which seems to keep everything from getting too confused:
Morning commute to work - I usually watch one episode of some catalogue title on my iPhone. Currently that's Moyashimon.
Several evenings after work - I usually watch the latest simulcasts in my queue. That might be from one or two series. If it's more, I'm probably going to put something off to another day. (After culling I usually end up with oh, 3 to 6 regular length simulcasts that I continue to watch, as well as a few of the 3-minute shows).
Just before bed - it depends. Sometimes it's one of the simulcasts, but most often it's some other catalogue title and I'll watch 2 to three episodes in a row. From time to time I'll get hooked on a K-drama, and that will fill this slot instead. And sometimes, *gasp*, I just read a book!
Weekends - catch up on simulcasts if I'm behind. Watch other stuff (often multiple episodes from just one series) as the mood strikes if I have the time.

Ever since I began watching anime religiously, I watched multiple shows. As someone said, it passes the time really well and I had quite a bit of it. I only watch "1" show if it's complete and I have the show at my expense to watch in one go. Even then after 4-5 I would go do something else. I just can't be tied down to one show since there are so many shows out there with such a variety of aspects to entice me to watch.
I used to follow up to 30 shows at a time, watching at least one episode a week. Now I don't want to watch any more than 5 shows at once now. I barely even marathon stuff anymore.
Burnout can do this to you. If you're going to watch anime, please don't repeat my mistakes and watch so much anime at a time. Go to a bar or a club and meet some girls/guys!
And here I thought I had a big backlog of animes to watch and currently watching,
So far I'm watching 16 animes that are still running.
I have my main anime and then the base anime. I have the regularly scheduled ones ( 1 or 2 a day) which are the mains ones:
HxH, Shin Sekai Yori, Naruto, Kotoura-san, Blast of Tempest, Maoyu,
Uchu Kyodai(Space Brothers), Magi, and Pet Girl of Sakurasou
When there's that gap I turn to some of those longer ones.
I just finished Katekyo Hitman Reborn and am now on Gintama. Great shows for filling the gap.
Since Gintama is on-going, I'll eventually have to pick up another one adding to the list.
Probably and to my dismay, Fairy Tale. But we'll see after I give it a try.
I recently just finished the JDrama My Little Nightmare, which was a little corny but good. So those might start getting mixed in.
For airing shows, watching multiple things at once is easy + especially if they air on different days. I do agree for when I have two completed series available to me. I have never once watched them at the same time by juggling episodes. If I like a completed show enough, I'd go straight through and if I didn't like it I would have dropped it.
Lets see my current queue is
Bleach ep281
AMNESIA ep4
Natsume Yujin-cho ep 14
My Ordinary Life ep 12
Sword Art Online ep 4
Kuroko's Basketball ep 2
and last but not least Blue Exorcist ep 1
there are a few more that I have queued but not started yet and a few that I have watched fully.
I marathoned Another and No6. was sad to see No6 end after only 11 ep.
Chaos reigns within Reflect, repent and reboot Order shall return
I don't get this question... is it really that hard? I have 8 simulcasts I'm watching right now. It's not like they're all on at the same time or the same day for that matter.
Only DEATH can cure STUPIDITY!!
Errr watching these;
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Darker Than Black - Kuro no Keiyakusha
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Ghost Hunt
Natsume Yuujinchou
To Aru Majutsu no Index
Pandora Hearts
Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai
Black Rock Shooter TV
Hyou-ka: You Can't Escape
From the New World
Kokoro Connect
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun
Problem Children Are Coming From Another World, Aren't They?
Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited - Hyoubu Kyousuke
heyo heyo heyo
Generally I watch 2 to 3 simulcast series and 1 older one. Like others have said I prefer some variaty while watching. While marathoning is okay to me for shorter series I can't do it with longer series like Gintama. Me and my brother took around a year to get through the 200+ episodes while watching other shorter titles along side. Right now I am watching Kotoura, , Chihayafuru, and Gintama simulcasts while watching Hakuoki for the first time.
Personally I find even the best shows I watch tough to marathon if they over 40+ episodes as I need some variety. Perfect example to me is that a year ago I was watching Monster for the first time. Lovedd the show a lot but it was so long I needed a change of pace. So I switched between Monster and Darker Than Black and enjoyed both more than I would have.
Yea I'm watch a ton shows right depending what i am doing. At the Gym Naruto on the trendmill and Fairy Tail on the bicycly. On my lunch break i'm watching Legend of the seeker or Sao. At home i watch naruto, the guild, and i like to catch new shows on crunchyroll
Raining days are for relaxing if your listening some old tunes from dino
Pretty normal watching more animes at once I am watching like 8ish. But dont really like to wait a while week for a new episode
Hello, Kind regards BlueBanana!
I can't watch more than one anime at a time I like to fully immerse myself in the story
My soul flows to the movement of the pen.

I felt the same way until I started running out of complete series to watch in one sitting.
Now I dabble in all.
oh but did you ever know, that i had mine on you?

A Singletown Mystery: The Case of the Mysterious Mailman
By Sara Singleton
Dedicated to my parents who have given me
infinite amounts of support and encouragement.
And thanks to Jonathan Singleton for his input.
It was sixth period and the bell was about to ring. Jimmy couldn't wait to get home. Mrs. Wright his teacher, had been talking for an hour, but Jimmy hadn't been listening. He had his mind on more important things. The bell rang. Jimmy jumped out of his desk chair and ran out the classroom door.
As soon as he got home, Jimmy started writing a letter to his pen pal in Korea. He hadn't written to her in two weeks. He was extremely excited about telling her that he had made the basketball team. It took him fifteen minutes to write the letter, and then he headed over to the post office.
When Jimmy got to the post office, his friends Lisa and Robbie were there.
"Hey guys," Jimmy said.
"Hi!" said Robbie. "I hear you made the basketball team!"
"Yeah, isn't it great?" Jimmy said happily.
"So, who's the letter to?" asked Lisa.
"Oh, it's for my pen pal in Korea," explained Jimmy. "I haven't written to her in a long time."
"I'm sending a letter to my aunt," said Robbie, "she lives in New Jersey."
"Well I'm waiting here to check our post office box for a letter from my Grandfather who lives in Kentucky," Lisa said, "I'm supposed to get it today."
They talked a little longer and then decided to go home.
Meanwhile, at the post office, Mr. Markenson, the local mailman was going through the incoming mail. The light was very dim in the room so he had to hold the letters up to the light to see who they were addressed to. He then put the mail in the appropriate post office boxes. One letter was addressed to a Ms. Haley Fischer. Mr. Markenson happened to catch a glimpse of some words in the letter. He saw one sentence that read, "There is a mean man named Bill Markenson." Mr. Markenson was a rather angry person already, but this pushed him over the edge.
The next day, Jimmy, Robbie, and Lisa met at Kennan Park around noon. It was Saturday.
"So has the letter come yet?" Robbie asked Lisa.
"As a matter of fact, it did," Lisa said.
"Well, what did your Grandfather have to say?" Jimmy asked curiously.
"Actually, I have no idea. The letter came in a dark envelope and the
words were all blurry," said Lisa. "I also noticed that it wasn't sealed all the way."
"It sounds to me like someone tried to open your letter," said Robbie. "Did you get it right out of the post office box?"
"Yes, I did," said Lisa. "How do you know someone tried to open it?"
"Well, if a letter is held over steam, perhaps from a pot of boiling water, the sticky seal may come undone. That usually doesn't happen accidentally," Robbie explained, in his usual scientific manner.
"If you got the letter right out of the box, then someone must have messed with it during the mailing process," said Jimmy.
"This sounds like a mystery to me," Lisa said excitedly.
After church on Sunday, Jimmy, Lisa, and Robbie set up a meeting time for Monday after school. They decided they would meet at Lucky's Cafe for a snack and then head over to the post office.
It was 3:30 in the afternoon on Monday and the kids were halfway to the Singletown Post Office. When they arrived, they immediately hid behind some bushes to set up a plan.
"So who's going to be the decoy?" asked Robbie.
"Decoy?" Jimmy and Lisa said at the same time.
"You know, the person who distracts the postal worker while the others spy on the mailman?" said Robbie; surprised they didn't know the meaning.
"I'll do it," said Lisa, "I'm good at distracting people."
"Great, Jimmy and I will split up to see if the mailman is doing anything suspicious while you keep the person at the front desk occupied," Robbie said with determination.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Jimmy said. "Let's go!"
Lisa went out first and casually walked into the post office. The boys went in, but they ducked when they got to the counter. As Lisa and the postal worker were talking, Jimmy and Robbie sneaked behind the counter and hid behind a large box. From here they could see what the rest of the postal workers were doing.
After about ten minutes, the conversation between Lisa and the person at the counter faded. As soon as the postal worker turned around, Lisa sneaked behind the counter to join the guys.
"So, what have you seen so far?" Lisa asked in a whisper voice.
"Nothing unusual yet," answered Jimmy.
"All the mail is in good shape, and nobody is tampering with the letters," Robbie added.
"Well, let's keep watching," Lisa said.
They stayed in their hiding place until the postal workers began to leave. They all decided to get going as to not get locked in the post office.
"I can't believe we didn't see anything," Jimmy said disappointed.
"Well maybe it was just my letter," said Lisa.
"I'm still not satisfied," Robbie mumbled.
"Let's all ask around to see if anyone else's letters got messed up. We have about an hour before dinner time," Jimmy requested.
"Great, let's go!" Lisa said. "Meet back here tomorrow after school."
They all split up and went to different sections of Singletown. They got the information they wanted and still managed to make it home by dinnertime.
On Tuesday, the friends got to the post office at the pre-arranged time, but this time they didn't hide. Instead they went across the street to the library so they could have a quiet place to talk.
"I talked to two people who's letters were messed up," Lisa said. "They described them to be exactly like my letter. I also noticed that all the letters that were ruined had colored envelopes. The ones with white envelopes were fine."
"I noticed that also," Robbie said.
"Yeah, same with the people I talked to," Jimmy agreed. "Hey, I'm noticing a pattern here."
"You're right," said Lisa. "The reason only the dark envelopes were opened was because you can see through the white envelopes."
"I still can't figure out why someone would try to read all of the letters," said Robbie, in a rare moment of confusion.
"Hey, I just realized something," said Jimmy. "Why would someone open the letters in front of all the other employees?"
"Well, they wouldn't do that," Lisa answered.
"Exactly," Jimmy said. "That's why we have to wait until all the others leave so that we can find the culprit and their motive. In other words-who did it and why."
It was nearly time for the post office desk to be closed (the post office box area remains open). Robbie, Jimmy, and Lisa found their hiding place from the previous day and remained there until after almost all of the employees left. Only the mailman, Mr. Markenson, was still there. For about ten minutes, he just straightened up the office (it was the janitor's night off). They began to get discouraged until, suddenly, Mr. Markenson began to mumble to himself. He sat down in a chair and began to go through a bag of mail.
"Well, let's see what the nasty people of Singletown have to say about me today," Mr. Markenson uttered to himself. "It's a good thing I found out about the letter to Ms. Fischer. Otherwise, everyone would be talking about me behind my back, and I wouldn't be able to do anything about it."
Jimmy, Robbie, and Lisa exchanged amazed glances and then watched as Mr. Markenson put a kettle of water on the portable stove in the post office break room.
He said, "They think they can fool me with colored envelopes that I can't see through. Ha! They're the ones who are being fooled. I sure am teaching them a lesson by steaming the letters open, then destroying the ones about me. So what if the pen writing bleeds together on some of the letters. These rotten people deserve it!"
The kids couldn't believe what they were seeing and hearing!
After almost an hour, Mr. Markenson had opened at least four letters and looked through the envelopes of over twenty other letters. He finally decided to go home.
As Mr. Markenson was turning out the lights, the kids quickly and quietly climbed over the counter and out the post office door. When they got home, Jimmy, Lisa, and Robbie explained to their parents were they had been. Their parents were angry, but since the post office doors were still open, it wasn't illegal.
The next day, after school Robbie and Jimmy were trying to figure out what to do. They met up with Lisa and they talked about the situation. They decided to go to the police station to tell the police about what had happened last night at the post office. The police were glad to get the tip, but told them never to spy on anyone again. Officer Langley followed Lisa, Jimmy, and Robbie to the post office. He talked to the person at the front counter about their plan to catch Mr. Markenson in the act after closing hours.
That night, Officer Langley hid out at the post office alone. He was unsure about the accusation that Jimmy, Lisa, and Robbie had made, but after about five minutes of watching Mr. Markenson, Officer Langley discovered that the mailman was guilty as charged. The plan was successful, and Mr. Markenson was arrested under the charges of tampering with the U.S. Mail.
The kids were headed to the bike ramp on Saturday when they saw the Singletown Outpost. There was an article about the arrest of Mr. Markenson. They were all very pleased at what they had accomplished.
"We should try to find more mysteries to solve," said Robbie.
"We'd almost always be successful," Jimmy added.
"Hey, you're right," Lisa said, "This could be really fun."

Backyard Farmers
The founders of our start-up are passionate about improving the health and well being of Americans and improving the environment and building family and community values by educating homeowners, schools and businesses on all the benefits of turning their backyards into productive "mini-farms" with raised bed vegetable gardens, fruit trees, chicken coops, perennial vegetable plantings, forest gardens, composting and rain water catchment systems, and other unique products, potentially even honey bees and rabbits.
We plan on doing seminars in local restaurants with taste tests comparing "conventional" store bought produce to local, freshly picked organic produce. We will then do a power point presentation on all the health, social, and environmental benefits surrounding our concept, enjoy a locally sourced organic dinner, and then sign people up to have their own "backyard farms" designed and installed by our company.
The company will offer as many locally produced and grown plants and materials as possible and will be all about quality and making sure everything the company does is done right.
We will also approach area schools, businesses, and other organizations to embrace our concept and hire our services.
We will give back between 10 - 20% of profits for helping to educate and ensure that less fortunate children can have access to healthy, locally produced food.
The company will initially target upper middle and upper class suburban homeowners and will initially start in the Philadelphia market with plans for expansion geographically as the company grows.
Targets for "backyard farm" installs:
1. Suburban Homeowners with larger, sunny backyards who are interested in healthy, good tasting food and lifestyles, but may not have the time or ability to convert their backyard into a productive, food producing garden/mini-farm.
2. Area schools - public and private for purposes of education and healthy food for students
3. City dwellers with small backyard and/or roof top planter gardens
4. Commercial properties - businesses with cafeterias, green roofs, etc
We believe there is a strong desire right now with people to "get back to the land" and we intend to be a big part of this trend. We intend on having a very comprehensive website (also will need to be built) that will create a very significant online community for anyone working to establish their own backyard gardens and food supply.
Our service will:
1. Reduce pollution and greenhouse gases by producing food locally
2. Produce food that is much more nutritionally dense
3. Provide a backyard "classroom" for children and a way for neighbors to share produce and form stronger social connections.
4. Enable people to become more connected to the land and more educated on food.
IMPORTANT update for all designers: We have decided to extend two additional days... We have a very nice design (#130 ) that we like. We are not certain however that this is the best visual to make our brand memorable, as it is more of a "backyard scene" In the next couple of days we would like to see some adjustments to the farmer character image (see response posting to #'s 125, 144, and 146. The best of these will be put into the mix and voted on with #130 .
VERY IMPORTANT: For anyone starting a new design concept, we would like to try a few other more simple concepts (and of course are open to any other outside the box ideas)...
1) an image with a (bean) sprout uncurling out of the ground with the company name "Backyard Farmers" next to it (most likely the name would be on two lines)
2) an image of a basket of fresh produce (fruits and vegetables) along with a few eggs of varying shades of brown and white with our name next to it. Not sure if the eggs should be in separate basket or in a compartment or small basket within the produce basket.
3) same as # 2 but with a pitchfork and/or farmer hat as part of the image
4) Just a pitchfork and farmers hat w/ or w/out the sprout.
5) (high on this idea at the moment)
Another design concept we are playing with is putting the letters of the company name into a vegetable...for example each letter of Backyard Farmers into each individual pea on each side of an open pea pod - ie. the top half would have:
B A C K Y A R D and the half of pod below would have F A R M E R S - each letter inside each pea...
We think this type of design could be simple and clean yet very memorable
To sum up, we think we might need to keep this logo a lot simpler. Our target audience is the upper middle/upper class suburban homeowner and the imagery and font used need to be very classy/high end looking. It should also have a strong earthy feel. Definitely not busy looking or campy...
6) we also think a farmer hat hanging off the name Backyard Farmers w/ or w/out a pitchfork and/or produce might be very effective...perhaps just the hat...
Once we have a bunch of these other design concepts described above submitted, we will then conduct a poll for the top 8 (this will include #130 and the best farmer character logo we receive).

Almost half of federal workers are using mobile devices for work purposes every day, according to a recent survey, which concluded that mobile devices will "become the norm" in federal offices in 2012, InformationWeek reported.
Research firm Fabrizio, Ward & Associates found that 45 percent of federal IT employees said they were using mobile devices at work every day, mainly for e-mail. Project management was the second most popular mobile application, followed by social media.
Those surveyed also said two-thirds of their non-IT colleagues in government are using mobile devices at work each day.
"We believe that 2012 will be the year that mobile devices become the norm and not the exception at government agencies for work purposes," according to the survey, which was conducted for BlueText, a communications firm based in Washington, D.C.
The survey coincides with the release this week of a draft federal mobility strategy by federal CIO Steven VanRoekel. The draft itself is using social media to ask for comments from the public on what should be included in the strategy.
The BlueText survey also found 68 percent of its respondents said they are using Facebook on their mobile devices for work; 21 percent use Twitter; 16 percent are using Google+; and 11 percent use LinkedIn, all via mobile devices for work.
More survey findings are at Slideshare.

What the study does not address is that in most cases where mobile technology is making agencies more effecient it is because the employees are doing it out of their own pocket and in some cases in violation of agency policy. To make it worse, the White House issued guidance requiring the agencies to DECREASE, not increase, the number of mobile devices in use.
Mobile devices are essential in the day to day operation of the Department of Labor Agency where I'm employed. However, the agency doesn't pay for this service. Leaving it to the employee. Only top management is authorized. However on several occassions, if it wasn't for the Blackberry that I carry, critical information wouldn't have been received in a timely manner.

The mail room is in the Headquarters Service Building. Incoming mail may be picked up only by your expedition adviser when your crew arrives at Philmont and when you return to Camping Headquarters from the trail. You may send mail from any staffed camp.
Trek participants' address at Philmont is:
Your Name + Expedition Number47 Caballo RoadCimarron, NM 87714
Make sure the address contains no more than three lines.
Public phones are available at base camp. Cellular phone service is spotty. Mobile phones are permitted in the backcountry, but are not encouraged. Do not rely upon your mobile phone for any important calls during your trek.
The emergency phone number at Philmont is 575-376-2281. Telephone calls to campers are restricted to EXTREME EMERGENCIES ONLY. Since Philmont covers 214 square miles of rugged mountain wilderness, it may take several hours to transport you from some camps to return an emergency phone call. In those cases, it will speed contact when the caller has your full name and expedition number.
Chaplains of the Catholic, Latter-day Saints, Jewish and Protestant faiths reside at Camping Headquarters or the Philmont Training Center during the summer. Quiet hours are observed nightly between 7 P.M. and 8 P.M. at Camping Headquarters during worship services.
The Tooth of Time Traders carries camping equipment, Scouting items, uniform parts, sundries, and souvenirs. You will have a chance to visit the trading post when you arrive at Philmont and again when you return from the trail. You may also order items online through the trading post website, and many crews have Custom Crew Tees made for them through the Tooth of Time Traders.
Coin-operated laundries with washers and dryers are at Camping Headquarters and at the Training Center. Soap is available at the Tooth of Time Traders. Change machines are in the laundry buildings.
There are several locations for lost and found items. For training center participants, the first place to check is your tent city office. For camping participants, the lost and found is in the security building near the Camping Headquarters entrance. The number one lost item is water bottles; the best way to keep from losing items is to make sure your name and crew number are labeled on every item you bring.

Gangs of New York (US - BD)
Gabe Powers revisits Scorsese's near masterpiece in high definition video...
After watching his father murdered in an epic battle between the 'nativist' and immigrant Americans, Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio) swears vengeance. Over a decade later Vallon infiltrates nativist leader Bill 'the Butcher' Cutting's (Daniel Day Lewis) gang of dandy thugs, eventually falling too deep into the ranks for his own good. Vallon takes a break to fall in love with one of the Butcher's ladies (Cameron Diaz), further muddling his revenge plans. Meanwhile, New York is torn apart by an increasingly bloody Civil War.
So Martin Scorsese finally won himself an Oscar, the only problem is that he won it for one of his most (comparably) average movies. Don't get me wrong, The Departed is a fine film, but it's got nothing on the fiery vigor of Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, or Raging Bull. The biggest problem is that the film came off as Scorsese impersonating Scorsese, something other filmmakers had already been doing for decades. The Departed was also a remake, and it didn't take the gangster genre anywhere the director hadn't already been. I think it was a step back, but it's an understandable step back when one considers the relative failure of Scorsese's previous crime film— Gangs of New York, which was set up to be the master's final word on the subject.
Gangs of New York belongs in a long line of dream projects that go wrong. Sometimes famous and powerful directors nurse a project along for so many years that they're entirely unable to look at things objectively, and the final product is a bloated mess of humourless pretension, with hints of genuine greatness. I find it hard to hate any of the long gestating dream projects I can think of off the top of my head (I own the extended cut of Peter Jackson's King Kong), and sometimes they actually work (as is the case of Schindler's List), but there is a definite sadness of missed opportunity to most of them.
That said, I actually think Gangs of New York is a fantastic mess, and a better movie then The Departed. Some of these sequences are among not only the best in Scorsese's oeuvre, but the best in modern film. At its best this is exactly what we should've expected from Scorsese—a based in fact historical melodrama with a heightened sense of reality far more theatrical than anything we could ever find in the real life record. On his commentary the director calls it more of an opera then history, and when it works that is exactly what it is.
The opening sequence is like a force of nature, beginning in the alien catacombs of the immigrant ghetto, and moving slowly by steady-cam into the snow covered street, where a brutal and bloody battle then takes place. The scene should be stuck in a capsule, along with the D-Day attack from Saving Private Ryan and the train standoff from Once Upon a Time in the West, and shot into space so that alien species can study the best way to open a motion picture. Then, after a whole bunch of good but not great stuff, Scorsese hits us with an obvious but beautiful little self contained visual narrative, where his boom crane follows immigrants as they come off the boat, are put into uniform, and stuck onto another boat, which is unloading coffins. It's a bit obvious, yes, but it's beautiful nonetheless. Then, after more good but not great stuff, Scorsese (who fails to pay off with a full blooded climax) creates a terrifying wall of images and sounds while recreating the bloody draft riots of 1863.
The cast is another mixed bag, and in some ways both the film's strongest and weakest suits. I like Leonardo DiCaprio, and I think he did a fantastic job in the film's lead, but he's still distractingly miscast. Cameron Diaz is even more woefully miscast, and unlike DiCaprio, entirely out of her element (though I'd still call this her single best performance). The supporting cast, while a bit typecast, shows up these leads on most occasions, including a very understated performance from E.T.'s best friend Henry Thomas, but there's simply no competing with Daniel Day-Lewis' Bill 'the Butcher' Cutting. Day-Lewis would take the Oscar this year for a similar portrayal in P.T. Anderson's There Will Be Blood, a roll that will likely overshadow this one over time, but looking back Cutting may be an even more monumental achievement. It's like staring into the sun, through the eye of a hurricane during an earthquake.
First the bad news. The original Miramax DVD release, despite being stretched over two discs, was wrought with thick and painful edge enhancement (read all about it right here, written by David Beamish). A side by side comparison (or at least as side by side as one can get flipping between players on the same set) isn't as kind to the new disc as I might've liked. There're almost as many of the nasty white lines on this new, 1080p Blu-ray transfer. The enhancement itself is a bit thinner then the DVD release, but there's just as much of it.
Now the good news. This transfer is noticeably better on every other level. First up is the overall brightness. Scorsese's painterly use of red, white, and blue leaps off the screen with twice the vibrancy of the DVD release. Close-up details are immaculate, and despite the obnoxious edge enhancement, the wide shots reveal new details I missed even in theatres. There are some noticeable flecks of dirt and print artefacts throughout, but grain is shockingly minimal, and the general print is very clean. The big and most noticeable difference between the standard and high definition releases in the lack of compression noise, which depleted the details of the old release sharply.
Still no PCM abilities 'round these parts (that PayPal account just isn't growing), but I can say that this standard Dolby Digital 5.1 track is a noticeable improvement over the original release. There are still some problems with bleeding during DiCaprio's narration, but the separation is tighter, and the general volume level is louder, both of which are symptoms of compression. The voices are all just a little bit clearer, the score is a little bit fuller, and the surround effects are a little bit more realistic. There's nary a hint of distortion to be heard, and I have nothing to complain about.
Again Disney isn't putting any new effort into the extras of these Blu-ray reissues. If you ever owned Gangs of New York on DVD, you've had access to all these extras. The film was shelved for almost a year, and when it was finally released it was amongst tales of Scorsese's battles with producer Harvey Weinstein. There are still rumours of a director's cut out there, despite Scorsese's insistence that the theatrical release was his final cut. I'm still not totally convinced that we won't see an anniversary release with additional footage someday down the line, or perhaps at least some deleted scenes. As it stands, the French DVD release still greatly overshadows this release in the extras department.
But until that day we can listen again to Marty's fantastically informative and energetic commentary track. Scorsese is on the short list of directors that can always be counted on for a good commentary, and despite a few stops in momentum he does not disappoint. The audio quality changes a bit after pauses, leading me to believe that this track was edited together from a long series of sessions, but it doesn't hurt things. I'd like a bit more talk about the behind the scenes troubles, but I can understand why the director wouldn't want to burn any bridges this close to release date.
'History of The Five Points' is a tantalizing fourteen minute historical featurette that quickly runs down the bare facts of the area of New York which the film takes place. I think there's room for improvement here, but I can't think of exactly what needs to be added. This is followed by a series of other brief featurettes, including 'Set Design' (nine minutes), 'Costume Design' (eight minutes). There's a more substantial multi angle featurette entitled 'Exploring the Sets of Gangs of New York', which sort of speaks for itself.
Besides various trailers and a U2 music video (I'm the one guy in the world, apparently, that hates U2), the disc is rounded out with a decent made for Discovery channel special entitled 'Uncovering the Real Gangs of New York', which was aired around the same time the film came out in theatres. The special is informative, but has that distinct 'made for TV' Cliff's Notes of history feel. Again, I'm not sure what specifically I'd add, but there has to be more.
Gangs of New York is a wondrous mess that never quite finds its footing, but still stands pidgin-toed above the rest. The film is actually more re-watchable then I originally credited it as being when I first saw it in theatres, thanks to effective and excitingly paced first and last halves. This Blu-ray Disc features no new extras, but looks sharper than the original DVD release. Unfortunately, that sloppy edge enhancement is still pretty bad, so I'm sure there will be some complaints from the hard core cineastes and tech-heads in the house.

Loveland's rich history begins with the first settler, Mariano Medina, in 1858. Medina picked a location on the Big Thompson Ricer near Namaqua just West of where the city sits today. In 1877, the Colorado Central Railroad established a line from Denver to Cheyenne. A local farmer, David Barnes, learned of the railroad plans, purchased land along the line and began to plan the beginnings of a town that would eventually become the city of Loveland. Barnes named the town after his good friend and President of the Colorado Central Railroad, William A.H. Loveland.
Loveland's roots are in agriculture, mainly sugar beets and sour cherries, with the railroad acting as the farmer's lifeline. In addition, the railroad provided for cattle ranchers and lumber companies to do business from the Loveland locale. The Great Western Sugar Company opened its doors in 1901 and employed many in and around Loveland until its closure in 1985. The Spring Glade and other cherry orchards produced millions of dollars in cherries until miserable weather conditions began to wither the industry.
Towards the end of the 20th Century, Hewett-Packard, Teledyne, Hach and other manufacturing facilities moved in and became the primary employers of the region. The recent arrival of Centerra has created many new jobs. The city of Loveland has been growing steadily since its inception and continues to grow each year.

Ducks hand Red Wings another home lossby Brian Hedger / NHL.com
DETROIT -- Mike Babcock said Tuesday morning at Joe Louis Arena that his Detroit Red Wings couldn't get into a scoring race with the Anaheim Ducks.
The Red Wings might've understood it, but it didn't stop the Ducks from cruising to a 5-2 victory and nearly winning that race to five goals in the first period alone. The Red Wings (15-12-9) struggled to keep up with the Ducks (24-7-5) while hampered by injuries to eight lineup regulars, including captain Henrik Zetterberg, goalie Jimmy Howard and six of their top nine forwards.
Anaheim has won six straight games.
"We took advantage of a team that was hurting," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "Listen, we beat Detroit 5-2 in the first game we played them last year, too. How'd it end up? It's just ... that was no way the Detroit Red Wings that you're going to see in January."
It might be the Ducks team that people see next month. They keep stacking wins and collecting points to maintain a lead in the Pacific Division with 53 points. They also have a habit of brushing off adversity in games.
Red Wings rookie Tomas Jurco scored the first goal of his NHL career for a 1-0 lead 3:15 into the game, but Anaheim stormed back with four unanswered goals to take a commanding 4-1 lead into the second.
Jakob Silfverberg, playing for the first time following a 24-game injury absence, got the Ducks even 25 seconds after Jurco's goal and that opened the floodgates. Nick Bonino made it 2-1 at 5:29, Corey Perry upped it to 3-1 at 18:16 with his 22nd goal and Sami Vatanen made it 4-1 by launching a hard slapper that crossed the goal line with 1.2 seconds left on the clock.
Detroit, playing with three rookies and a lineup full of replacements, never recovered.
"I thought we started off pretty good and then everything just fell apart," said Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall, who was minus-2. "There's no excuse whatsoever. Injuries [have] got nothing to do with it. We're a better team than we showed tonight. That was embarrassing at times."
Vatanen and Saku Koivu finished with a goal and assist each, Andrew Cogliano logged three assists and Jonas Hiller (16 saves) earned the win. The Ducks outshot Detroit 30-18 in a building where that rarely occurs.
"I liked how we started," Babcock said. "Things were going pretty good for about three minutes. Obviously, it didn't go very well for us. They shot the puck in the net and we lost momentum very fast and didn't have a very good effort from that point on."
Anaheim did get a scare when center Ryan Getzlaf left the game with a facial injury at 14:20 of the first. A hit by Kyle Quincey in the offensive zone threw Getzlaf into the boards face-first and he left holding a towel over his mouth.
Getzlaf needed stitches to close a cut at the corner of his mouth and missed the rest of the period. He also sat out the first 6:55 of the second, but didn't lose any teeth and finished the game. Quincey was assessed a boarding major and game misconduct.
"I was kind of trying to stop and hit the puck, and he made a play with his stick horizontal to the back, which is obviously what you don't do in this League right now," said Getzlaf, who had recorded a point in the previous 14 games he played. "That's what caused it to be so dangerous."
He didn't place all of the blame on Quincey.
"I watched it after and I was in a tough position," Getzlaf said. "I've got to take some of the responsibility in putting myself there. I don't think he needed to cross-check me in that kind of a position, and obviously I went into the boards pretty hard. That's why it ended up the way it did."
The Ducks lost the ensuing man-advantage when Dustin Penner was called for high-sticking 3:25 into it, but Perry scored during 4-on-4 play with Mikael Samuelsson still serving Quincey's penalty.
Perry's goal, a wrist shot to the far side from inside the right dot, chased Detroit starting goalie Jonas Gustavsson (eight saves). Rookie Petr Mrazek (17 saves) relieved him and allowed Vatanen's goal, a last-second slapper.
Vatanen's shot came from the top of the right circle after a drop pass by Cogliano, who then picked up his third assist of the night on Koivu's goal at 12:26 of the second, which made it 5-1. Cogliano's shot led to a loose puck in the right circle that Koivu backhanded past Mrazek, who couldn't glove the fluttering puck after it nicked the inside of Brendan Smith's left skate.
Daniel Cleary scored his third goal with 1:58 left in the third for the final margin, coming much too late to salvage a miserable night for the Red Wings. Detroit has lost three straight, is winless in its past six games and fell to 5-9-6 on home ice.
"At times we were all over the place and nowhere," Kronwall said. "We were at times running around like a chicken with our heads cut off. It's not good enough. Enough talking, it's time to actually go out there and do something about it."

Teschenmacher, Laurenz (16th century)
Laurenz (Lorenz) Teschenmacher, a citizen of Aachen in Germany, was charged there in 1533 with Lutheranism. Though in a first trial Teschenmacher refused to give information about his heresy, it was soon proved that he was an Anabaptist and had taught the "new doctrines" in sermons which were attended by his followers. Further particulars are lacking.

First Tamagotchi Wii Details
Tamagotchi for... president?
by IGN Staff
September 13, 2006 - The DS has had numerous million sellers in Japan, but only one of them originated from a third party. Bandai's Tamagotchi virtual pet is still big business, driving strong sales of Corner Shop and its sequel, and now the success is set to make it over to Wii. Bandai Namco will be bringing Tamagotchi no Pika Pkia Daityouryou! to the Wii for Japanese release some time this year.
The premise is a little different for this console entry. Set up as a board game, your goal is to get a large support rating and eventually become the president of Planet Tamagotchi. As you cross sections on the board, you earn ratings. The person with the highest ratings on voting day wins the election.
Where there's a board game, there's sure to be mini games. Specifics on the mini games haven't been revealed as yet, but expect heavy use of the Wiimote.
Details on Tamagotchi's Wii outing should follow in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

Coastal Hotel with Fresh-Seafood Restaurant Overlooking Pacific Ocean
Despite its remote location along the Pacific coastline, the city of Bandon, Oregon, has built a reputation for great food. Budget Travel named it one of the Coolest Small Towns in America, labeling Bandon a haven for farm-to-table restaurateurs drawn to the area due to its local produce. At The Inn at Face Rock, a Best Western hotel, you won't have to look far for a great meal. The onsite Bandon Bill's Seafood Grill serves fresh fish and barbecue, often slow-cooked in a smoker.
With this Getaway to The Inn at Face Rock, you'll receive a $20 hotel credit that you can apply toward a meal at Bandon Bill's Seafood Grill. The restaurant's signature dish is a fish fillet that's charbroiled with mesquite on an ale-soaked cedar plank and served atop of a bed of asparagus-mushroom risotto. Breakfast is served each morning at Bandon Bill's, too. From 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., you can dig into a hot breakfast buffet of scrambled eggs, pastries, muffins, sausages, make-your-own waffles, cereal, and biscuits. The hotel credit can also be applied toward onsite dining at Tony's Fireside Pizza.
The area contains several attractions waiting to be explored. The Inn at Face Rock has access to secluded beaches across Beach Loop Drive, where you can walk along the Pacific coastline and spot the large, misshapen boulder known as Face Rock. The craggy rock resembles the profile of a woman who has just surfaced from beneath the sea.
Bandon, Oregon: Windswept Beach Town with Renowned Golf
Bandon is located on Oregon's Pacific coast and surrounded by forested hills. On a stroll along its unspoiled beachfront, you can find agate, petrified wood, jasper, and tide pools. Just a 10-minute drive from the hotel is downtown Bandon, whose charming Old Town area features quaint shops and boutiques brimming with various homemade goods and artisanal wares.
The windswept Bandon Dunes is a must-visit for golfers, when the weather is warm enough to play. It's made up of four award-winning courses, each of which sits 100 feet above the Pacific Ocean. The grassy dunes sprawl over Oregon's rugged coastal terrain, which recalls Scotland's links-style courses.

The Walrus Says
We were told they were there for former islander Robert Leach. Bob is a sergeant major in the Army and has completed three tours of duty in Iraq. During those tours, he was never home for Christmas. Pres Froberg said that Bob is now home again in North Kingstown, and the lights and decorations were left up so he could see what Christmas is like in Jamestown.
He did so on Sunday. Welcome home, Bob, and Merry Christmas.
Answers to Dorothy Strang's observations in last week's column are: The three public clocks downtown are located at 28 Narragansett Ave. across from Green Lane, the firehouse and Town Hall. The Town Hall clock stands separate from the building. All have Roman numerals.
The three historic houses at the lower end of Narragansett Avenue are a) at number 10, the W.H. Knowles house, c.1885, now a small apartment complex; b) at number 17, the Samuel Smith house, c.1885, now occupied by Jamestown Designs and c) at number16, the Isaac Carr house (no date visible), now occupied by the Cathryn Jamieson Salon. It is reasonable to suppose that in 1885 and the years following, Samuel Smith and W.H. Knowles might have chatted together across the avenue.
This week's questions: Narragansett Avenue is lined with beautiful shingled colonial-style buildings. Between the waterfront and the firehouse, however, six buildings are constructed of brick. What businesses occupy those six buildings? Which one has been recently restored and refurbished? Which two appear definitely "modern?"
Three churches sit at the upper end of this same stretch of Narragansett Avenue. Which one is not brick? Which one has just celebrated its centennial year? Which one has a bell tower that plays hymns at 5 p.m.?
Kudos to islander Megan Greene, who has been named to the ProJo's All-State Field Hockey team. A senior at N.K.H.S., she finished her high school career with a total of 28 goals and 20 assists.
Laura Rossi Totten emailed: "Happy 7th birthday to twins Julia and Matthew! Seven years ago on Jan. 19, we were blessed with your arrival. Mommy and daddy love you both so much!"
Lotsa hugs, please!
Why is Washington sending our taxes to homeowners to insulate their residences when global warming is upon us?
Fred Brome and Barbara-Ann MacIntosh had last week's poser. Fred said, "Baby It's Cold Outside" was too easy! He hoped I was feeling effulgent. To which I reply, always! Barbara-Ann wrote, "With the chilly winter we've been having, excluding the last few days, I would say the lyrics are most appropriate."
From John A. Murphy: Identify "Two Ten Six Eighteen Ten Fortyfour"
Still silence from the state on insurance companies redlining Newport County on homeowners' policies and Blue Cross policy increases without approval.
There is space available in some Jamestown Arts Center's winter classes.
"Imagination Exploration" with Lisa Kerr offers creative drama in a four-week class for pre-schoolers and their caregivers on Wednesdays from 9 to 10 a.m. Cost is $36.
"Open Figure Drawing" on Tuesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. offers figure drawing on all levels and will run through April. Artist teachers will be present and lead poses, but it will not be an instructed class. Walk-in fee is $15.
"Freeing the Writer" with award-winning author and professor Kelly Easton, a workshop "for writing from your deepest mind," will be held Jan. 30 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Bring your laptop, or paper and pen .The class is limited to 12; cost is $60.
The classes are held at the Jamestown Gallery, 47 Conanicus Ave. For questions and to register, contact Elizabeth Congdon at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We received a note from Beth Weibust that read, "Someone pointed out to me that in the issue before New Year's, you had resolutions and one of them was from 'Jack the dog.' Was this resolution, per chance, from my Jack, the dog...or another Jack? He's not telling..."
Actually, it was from Apple Jack, a Jack Russell terrier who lives with the Clarkes on Watson Avenue during the summer. In the winter, when the Clarkes are south, Apple Jack stays with Kathy Brownell. "I'm his winter mother," she said.
*** ...you are my heart's bouquet.
The British are coming, the British are coming! Or at least their emissaries, who will endeavor to explain to us colonists the similarities and differences in contemporary U.S. and U.K. cultures. The Friends of the Jamestown Library will host the talk, "Britannia in Brief: A 101 on Modern British Culture," given by Leslie Banker and William Mullins on Monday, Jan. 25, at 7 p.m. in the library meeting hall. They are the authors of "Britannia in Brief: The Scoop on All Things British."
The Potter League for Animals will present its 37th annual Have A Heart Cocktail Party and Auction on Monday, Feb. 8, at the Hotel Viking in Newport. The preview party for the benefit of homeless animals runs from 5 to 6 p.m., and the main event begins at 6. There will be hundreds of silent auction items, as well as opportunities to dine on hors d'oeuvres and desserts, buy a Break A Heart Bag and take a chance in the 50/50 raffle. BankNewport is the presenting sponsor.
Monday is the birthday of Robert Burns, who was born in 1759 and is Scotland's favorite son and national bard. The poem and lyrics, "Oh my luve is like a red, red rose that's newly sprung in June..." brings tears to the eyes of all Scots throughout the world who on Monday will raise a glass to our "Rabbie."

Beaumont/Port Arthur
The McDonalds restaurant at 190 Interstate 10 in Beaumont had to temporarily close its doors in early November for a remodeling project to create a new look spreading across the hamburger chain's locations nationwide.
During this remodel, this location launched a new program called "OPERATION A.R.C.H." During the remodel, store employees donated their time to local charities from Nov. 8-16. The charities include the Julie Rogers "Gift of Life" Program, the Southeast Texas Food Bank and Goodwill.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

In what is likely to be only one of the gazillion inane, uninteresting, moronic spats of Election 2012, dog welfare has arisen as an actual story you see on television. Because Mitt Romney has taken heat for once strapping his dog's travel cage to the roof of the car on a family vacation, the Romney campaign decided to fire back by noting that in his book "Dreams From My Father," Barack Obama wrote about eating dog meat as a child while living in Indonesia.
The basic vapidity of this spat aside (which I guarantee more people are paying attention to than, say, the candidates' plans to deal with toxic materials leaching from hardrock mining sites into drinking water or one of the approximately 2 billion other issues that actually affect anyone), I'd like to point out that we should eat dogs.
Longtime readers will note that I really dislike dogs and think their owners become insufferable any time they are discussing/fondling their pets, but my distaste for dogs has nothing to do with my reasoning behind why we Americans should eat them (or eat no animals, but we'll get to that).
Among my many jack-of-all-trades-master-of-absolutely-none gigs, last summer I served as a teaching assistant for an on-line class about animals, animal rights and animals in literature, which gave me a new appreciation for how illogical and thoughtless most of us are about the animals we eat and the ones we keep as pets; the ones we cry over when they die in movies and the ones we find completely dispensable.
Pigs, for example, are smarter than dogs—maybe way smarter. Studies of pig cognition have shown again and again that pigs are as smart as a three-year-old human child and may be closer to dolphins and apes than they are to dogs. They exhibit social behavior and memory unmatched by anything else on four legs, and yet people react to this with a big yawn. In order to eat the pork, bacon and ham we so enjoy, we basically torture pigs to death "Saw IV"-style in complex and efficient industrial farming practices.
Could you imagine the outcry if some meat producer herded a bunch of dogs into a pen where a steel wall descended and scraped the dogs into the clutches of a mechanical disembowler?
"Marley and Me Part II: Cutting Marley's Terrified, Screaming Throat So We Can Eat Low-Cost Meat."
After once writing a column for RedEye about how much I hate dogs, I appeared on some guy's dog radio show (which likely means he'll never host a "losing one's virginity" radio show) so he could reprimand me. At one point he argued that humans and dogs have a long-standing evolutionary relationship because we befriended and domesticated them when we were hunter-gatherers. And that's fine. If you go back to defecating in the woods and trying to hunt wild gazelle, I'll appreciate your relationship with your dog in a new way.
Otherwise, shut up and admit your affinity for dogs and disinterest, perhaps even mild revulsion, for pigs is a completely illogical cultural norm. We find dogs cute and pigs not (I mean, look at that picture I used). Yet with all the hungry people in America and the world, it would make perfect sense for us to eat the millions of stray dogs put to death every year. If you grow up in a country (like Indonesia) where you can't just head down the street to the nearest McDonald's, you learn to eat dog and snake and grasshopper and anything else that provides protein.
Hell, in Detroit after its decade-long crash there are anywhere from 20,000 to 50,000 stray dogs wandering the city, many of them released by owners who fled the city or could no longer afford to care for them. Which just goes to show that as soon as overwhelming First World prosperity vanishes, our values surrounding our precious and beloved pets quickly follows.
Local Detroit shelters euthanize 70% of the dogs they catch, but why not eat them? Why toss the bodies into incinerators and send them off as carbon into the atmosphere? Why not cut their throats, skin them and hack them apart for meat like we do basically every other animal from lambs to chickens to cows to bison to pigs? Unless you're a strict vegan, I don't see an argument. Maybe you believe that we should eat no animals, that the federal government should ban all meat producing because that's far more inhumane than any method any shelter has ever devised for putting a stray dog to sleep and we should all be banned from consuming any animal flesh. But unless you believe that, I don't see how you can justify not eating dog. It's downright wasteful not to.
