FIELD OF THE INVENTION This application relates to relieving airway impairments in horses.
BACKGROUND ART FIG. 1 shows various anatomical structures associated with the head of a horse. Among these, the airway structures, and in particular the larynx, are susceptible to various disorders which affect the horse's health and its ability to perform normally. The larynx is innervated by the recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLN) which contain motor fibers that innervate both the abductor/opener and adductor/closer muscles of the arytenoid cartilages and their associated vocal folds.
TABLE 1 Difference Between Human And Equine Unilateral Laryngeal Hemiplegia. PARAMETER HORSES HUMANS Vocal Fold Involved for Unilateral Bilateral, because unilateral paralysis in abductor stimulation human is not a big handicap for abduction. Vocal Fold Laterality Left Left or right Vocal Fold Abduction Continuous prolonged abduction for Inspiratory abduction for 1-2 seconds hours (as long as the horse is doing any kind of intensive movement); most muscles of any other species would fatigue after a few minutes of continuous stimulation. Therapy Tracheostomy does not cure Tracheostomy cures Impairment Athletic performance/abnormal Medical/life threatening because of air noise; no life threatening air impairment impairment Severity Slight paresis causes symptoms Paralysis needed for symptoms Quiet Respiration Not impaired Impaired Adduction VF adduction can be sacrificed Loss of adduction causes aspiration and weakens or sacrifices voice production It is therefore clear, that unilateral hemiplegia are very different conditions, requiring different treatment approaches for success, and an approach that works in one species is not necessarily suitable for the other species. In humans, airway compromise usually occurs when both vocal folds are paralyzed. In contrast, in horses, the condition occurs when a single vocal fold is paralyzed. Due to the tremendous negative pressures generated in the airway during inspiration, even slight weakness of one vocal fold will pull that vocal fold into the airway. A horse completely abducts its vocal folds during exercise so that the PCA muscle has to be tonically active at a high rate for minutes to hours. Also, in humans, unilateral paralysis mainly affects adduction, thus, adductory stimulation is the main target for unilateral paralysis in human. Adductory stimulation is much simpler because there are 4 times as much adductor muscles, their threshold is lower (so they can be stimulated separately simply by a lower amplitude), and they are anatomically situated superficially compare to the abductor muscles on the backside of the vocal cords.
In humans, U.S. Pat. No. 7,069,082 (incorporated herein by reference) describes laryngeal stimulation for vocal cord paralysis in the case of synkinetic reinnervated muscles. Other laryngeal stimulation patents for vocal cord paralysis stress the diagnosis of denervated vocal cord muscles. For example, in human sleep apnea, the muscles and their innervating nerves are intact. But laryngeal hemiplegia in horses is a different mechanism in which an ongoing distal axonopathy stops vocal fold movement in a position just lateral to the midline�there is no synkinetic reinnervation and denervation is the end stage, but then the stimulation via the nerve no longer works. In contrast, the transmission of natural signals via the nerve seems to be comprised, because the muscle does not move during any stage of exercise for a relatively long time (grade IV) or only in the condition of intensive exercise (grade III), but the muscle can be activated maximally (as in a non-diseased horse) via electrical stimulation of the nerve.
As used herein, the term �paralysis� is used to refer to complete loss of nerve supply to a muscle, whereas �paresis� is used to refer to weakness of a muscle due to decreased motor nerve supply or activity, and �synkinesis� refers to inappropriate co-contraction of antagonistic muscles.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention are directed to treating an airway disorder in a horse. A pacemaker processor generates an electrical treatment signal to be applied to upper airway tissue of the horse for treating the upper airway disorder. One or more stimulation electrodes interfaces with the upper airway tissue for delivering the treatment signal to the upper airway tissue.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 shows various anatomical structures in the head of a horse.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to treatment of equine airway disorders, for example, laryngeal hemiplegia (hemi paralysis). Although this disorder is known to be a neuropathy (a disorder involving loss of neurons), it has unexpectedly been found that electrical stimulation of the nerve supply to paralyzed vocal folds causes complete abduction of the vocal fold. Moreover, this abduction can be maintained continuously for hours. In addition, the abduction is forceful enough to resist the high negative pressures within the airway that are generated by a horse during exercise or at labor.
Electrical Airway Treatment System Embodiments of the electrical airway treatment system include an implanted portion which performs one or more functions. For example, the implant may generate tissue stimulation signals either by independent electronics or by dependent processing of the signal from an external component. The implant also may record sensed signals such as those related to monitoring operation of the system. In some embodiments, one or more implants may both stimulate and sense the surrounding tissue. Lead wires may be connected in a detachable or non-detachable way for transferring the stimulation signals to the electrodes or recording signals from the electrodes and/or the sensors.
An embodiment may be a treatment system 200 based on electroglottography (EGG) including: a) sensing electrodes 207 adapted for electrical coupling to measure vocal fold contact area (called electroglottography�EGG). EGG involves a high frequency, low current signal passed between the vocal folds with the aid of electrodes. Sensing electrodes 207 are placed on either side of the thyroid lamina or closer to the vocal folds. EGG is based on the principle that tissue conducts current. Therefore, when the vocal folds touch, greater current flows. The output of the electroglottographic recordings can be used to determine when the vocal folds are closed or opened and how fast they are closing or opened) for providing electrical signals indicative of vocal fold opening; b) a stimulation electrode 206 for electrical coupling to a dysfunctional posterior crico-arytenoid muscle; c) a pacemaker processor 201 to receive the sensing signals provided by the sensing electrodes 207, and for providing the stimulating signals to the stimulation electrode 206. The dysfunctional posterior crico-arytenoid muscle, in pacemaker operation, is stimulated in substantial synchronism with the activity of the vocal fold opening signal.
Electrode Implementation System electrodes may be placed on the skin or mucosa of the animal, or within the body closer to the target tissue. For example, the electrodes may be directly adjacent to the target nerve where they will be very efficient and avoid spreading current to surrounding tissue. Multiple electrodes can be placed around the tissue such that differential activation of the electrodes can cause the current to flow through specific areas of the target, thereby activating a portion of the target. This may be referred to as a steerable electrical field. An example of the use of such an electrode is to activate a portion of a nerve containing the neurons to a specific muscle while leaving the remaining neurons unstimulated.
Possible Sensors Alternative to Electrodes: Ultrasound sensing can also be used in an embodiment of a treatment system 200 including: a) sensing electrodes 207 for ultrasound coupling to the vocal fold area or pharynx or the lungs or other regions in the body having a movement or volume change with high correlation to inspiration; b) a stimulation electrode 206 for electrical coupling to a dysfunctional posterior crico-arytenoid muscle; c) a pacemaker processor 201 to receive the sensing signals provided by the sensing electrodes 207, and for providing the stimulating signals to the stimulation electrode 206.
An embodiment of a treatment system 200 may be based on sensors that use the Hall effect. The Hall effect refers to the potential difference (Hall voltage) on opposite sides of a thin sheet of conducting or semiconducting material in the form of a �Hall bar� (or a van der Pauw element) through which an electric current flows. This is created by a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the Hall element. The potential difference is correlated to the strength of the magnetic field. The strength of the magnetic field can be influenced by the transmission of the magnetic field, by tissue changes or movement of tissue composed of parts with different conductivity near the semiconducting Hall the sensor element, or by distance or orientation changes of the Hall the sensor and the source of the magnetic field relative to each other.
For example, a torsion or bending based treatment system 200 could use a piezo-active material. Piezoelectricity is the ability of certain crystals to generate a voltage in response to applied mechanical stress. The piezoelectric effect is reversible in that piezoelectric crystals, when subjected to an externally applied voltage, can change shape by a small amount. The deformation, about 0.1% of the original dimension, typically is of the order of nanometers, but nevertheless finds useful applications such as in the production and detection of sound, generation of high voltages, electronic frequency generation, and ultra-fine focusing of optical assemblies. In a piezoelectric sensor, a physical dimension is transformed by an applied mechanical force which acts on two opposing faces of the sensing element. Depending on the design of the sensor, different �modes� to load the piezoelectric element can be used: longitudinal, transversal, and shear.
Other Airway Conditions Horses experience other upper airway conditions, including but not limited to dorsal displacement of the soft palate (DDSP), various forms of laryngeal and pharyngeal and nasopharyngeal collapse, or airway narrowing. In some embodiments of a treatment system 200, the methods and devices described herein can be effectively used as illustrated by the following examples.
System Implementation Embodiments also include the surgical techniques and tools to safely implant a prosthetic device so that no damage is done to the horse. For example, specific embodiments implant electrodes which avoid spreading electrical current to the surrounding tissue structures, thereby avoiding undesirable side effects. Further specific embodiments allow an implanted treatment device to survive the harsh environment within the neck of a horse and work reliably for months. In some embodiments, the implanted device can signal when it is working properly so that it can be monitored by regulatory officials�and this can be confirmed before, during, and after an athletic event by other methods and devices that are embodiments of this invention. Further embodiments include methods and devices for reversing neuronal degeneration such as found in this disorder and for treating other airway disorders of a horse.
Waveform biphasic, cathodic Current 500 microamperes per phase Phase duration 0.427 milliseconds Number of pulses per burst 480 (20 sec) Pulse distance 40 milliseconds Pulse rate (calculated) 24 Hz Number of bursts per stimulation 164 Burst rate (calculated): 0.09 Hz Burst distance 2 seconds Electrodes activated in group 1 to 12 at 98 to 1300 microamp per electrodes In horses #5, #6 and #7, abduction of the stimulated arytenoid cartilage was able to be induced continuously in a �tetanized� fashion for one hour. During exercise, continuous abduction was obtained by using the following stimulation parameters:
Waveform biphasic (range: monophasic, biphasic, triphasic), cathodic (range: cathodic, anodic, alternating) Current 500 microamperes per phase (range: 250-1000, possible: 50-10.000) Phase duration 427 microseconds (range: 250-1000, possible: 50-10.000) Pulse rate 24 Hz (range: 10-40, possible: 0,1-200, maybe 0,1-20.000) Parametric Adjustment Techniques In embodiments that include a treatment sensor 207, the pacemaker processor 201 and/or the stimulation module 204 may receive information from the treatment sensor 207 via wireless telemetry. The treatment sensor 207 may be an external component which is not implanted. In alternative embodiments, the treatment sensor 207 may be integrated within the housing of the stimulation module 204 and/or the pacemaker processor 201, or be coupled to one or both of them via one or more leads. FIG. 6 shows an embodiment in which an external processor 603 also may transmit information to the treatment system 200, such as adjustments to stimulation parameters to be applied by the stimulation module 204. The adjustments may be made based on the information received from the treatment system, for example, from the stimulation module 204 or the treatment sensor 207, or from a source external to the treatment system 200 such as a horse expert human user 606 via a clinician terminal 604 user interface with the external processor 603, or some combination thereof.
In one specific embodiment, the pacemaker processor 201 may record the received information, analyze the information, and adjust stimulation parameters based on the information, or some combination thereof. Alternatively, the pacemaker processor 201 may record information and transmit the information to the external processor 603 via a data network 602. In this case, the external processor 603 analyzes the information to generate adjustments to system characteristics such as stimulation parameters, and transmits the adjustments to the treatment system 200 for the pacemaker processor 201 for application to the stimulation module 204. One of skill in the art will also understand and appreciate that a separate processor responsible for analyzing the received information and proposing or instituting adjusted stimulation parameters could also be associated with the treatment system 200. As used herein, �associated with� refers to a structure that is either housed with or within a device, or attached to a device via a lead.
Treatment Verification Monitoring Related to the foregoing, there also is a need in horse racing to follow the rules of the governing agencies such that a treatment system 200 or treatment method would not create an unfair advantage, disadvantage, or erroneous response. The therapeutic goal is to restore function without supra-maximal or supra-physiological advantage. Accordingly, embodiments may allow various safeguards to not influencing wagering. A logging system may document use and frequency of the stimulation protocol. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a verification monitor 209 and corresponding record log 210 may act as a logging system which allows an equipment person in the paddocks or the competition arena to readily assess that the treatment system 200 is active and functioning appropriately. The logging system should be easy to monitor under the conditions of competition.
And embodiments include methods to satisfy the spirit and rules of agencies governing equine sporting events, including monitoring devices and methods such as a verification monitor 209 and/or record log 210 which allow calibration by an attending veterinarian only, where the stimulation parameters are fixed and can only be adjusted by race track personnel or attending veterinarians. In addition or alternatively, the athletic governing authority can monitor the effect of the treatment system 200 before, during, or after an athletic performance. The monitoring authority may want to know that the treatment system 200 was on and delivering proper electrical stimulation, that the treatment system 200 senses that the vocal fold was abducted, and that air was passing unrestricted through the larynx during inspiration. Along these lines, a variety of physiological parameters may be sensed and stored (data logging in the record log 210) or transmitted outside the horse 100. Examples of data logging of such information include without limitation stimulation parameters; nerve action potentials; microphone, acoustic, or subglottic pressure monitoring airways; tracheal pressure; and vocal fold abduction reflected by electroglottography (EGG�laryngeal impedance to hi-frequency electrical fields). In addition, light produced by a source located on one side of the larynx may be sensed by a light the sensor located on the other side.
Axonal Regeneration Another embodiment of this invention stimulates regeneration of damaged axons, or prevents this degeneration, and/or monitors axonal regeneration, such as measurement of nerve action potentials and conduction velocity. An example of electrical stimulation to enhance regeneration is 20 Hz stimulation (100 microseconds, 3-5 V) to electrodes placed at (anode) and just proximal to the area of injured nerve (cathode).

Awesome service! They told us a 45 minute wait, ended up being 20 minutes! The brunch was amazing! I loved the king ranch chicken casserole, a must! I will be returning!
The brunch is to die for. You'll wait a while, but you can get mimosas and bloody marys in the meantime! Regular menu is also good, but Sunday brunch just can't be beat. Wonderful atmosphere as well.

Very impressed with the Sunday brunch buffet! Great food and you get to try anything you want! A little pricey for some, but worth it if you want something unique and special. Would go back in a heartbeat!
By italia, 7/8/09
My friends and I went during brunch on a Sunday. We arrived at 9:40 am and there were people already waiting outside. TIP: THERE IS A HOSTESS THAT WALKS AROUND WITH A WAITING LIST. Nobody told us and the hostess must have taken a break because we never saw her. It wasn't until a kind girl told us that there is a list made before opening. Anyway, once inside the food is good. Our group had a bit of everything including pancakes, many egg casseroles, sausage, biscuits, chicken fingers, and fruit. It was a bit crazy because there were alot of people in line and several lines. Also, I had to return twice to the buffet because they were out of several items I wanted. Especially the pancakes! They should bring out more than 12 mini pancakes to a buffet line with tons of people waiting and most grabbing at least 2 to 3 of them. I would return if I stayed in downtown Austin because it was convenient.

AWESOME restaurant! Went to moonshine on saturday, 12/6, at 7:15 p.m. we had a party of 8. didn't have a reservation and only waited for 30 minutes at the bar. dinner was way better than what i expected. i had salmon and my husband had the steak. they were both incredible. everyone loved their dinner. can't wait to go back again! great atmosphere and lots of good food!
I agree about the host, but im reffering to the one with the blue/black hair. I have never in my life had someone be so rude to me for no reason at all. NOT GOING BACK. And it wasnt just me, I heard a few people comment on her while waiting for the valet.
I have one word to describe the hostess with the pink hair; it rhymes with the play most football teams’ call at 4th and long.
Such a horrible ordeal to get to a table, and once there the food was mediocre at best. $43 breakfast for two is way too much for this clusterf*ck of a restaurant.

Just Curious: Take Time to Read
I did not read a lot as a child. "Why not" I sometimes wonder, because reading is now one of my favorite personal interests - it has been for many years. Of course, I can list a few tangible reasons for my lack of books read as a youth; it's the intangible reasons that are difficult to be certain of, because even though books were available, I did not crave the story, the fantasy, or the bio of another life. Perhaps there were just too many distractions in my own life.BUT NOW, distractions and all, I get my reading time! I need it. Before I go to sleep at night, I have to read. If I am sitting in an office waiting for an appointment, I have to read. If I sit in the car while my children have after school activities, I have to read. After church, I have to scan the book section in the Sunday newspaper and read a few articles in the Parade Magazine insert. I have to read my book club's selection, so that I can socialize with "the girls" and talk about the book. I have to read on a rare Sunday afternoon when I can curl up in bed in the middle of the day. I have to read while sitting on my screened-in porch on a warm summer day. I have to read to my kids. And so on, and so on...Currently, my book club is reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I am only on page 38, but the story has my attention.The book we just finished reading is Heart in the Right Place by Carolyn Jourdan. It is a memoir about a time in her life when she transitioned from being a Washington lawyer to a Tennessee mountains receptionist in her father's medical practice. She spoke of many real people and situations common to the country doctor, a position that is almost extinct. The book was heartwarming and funny. We had the pleasure of speaking with the author via speakerphone and she was a spark to our discussion.I also just finished reading The Shack by Wm. Paul Young. It was a hard read for me, but I gather that it has touched many people's lives.Other books that I am currently reading are:- On Writing by Stephen King- The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas- Matthew (in the Bible)- Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (aloud to my kids)What are YOU reading?
I'm reading One Month To Live by Kerri & Chris Shook. It's about finding new urgency, fresh purpose, and a sharper focus for your life. It's really challenging me to be who God created me to be -fully alive and living without regrets.
Good description of the book Lisa. You'll have to tell me more when we see each other. Thanks for commenting!
Right now I am reading your blog and later I will be reading about those crazy Buendias. What an unusual group. Love your blog , Thanks for the link.
Read...who has time to read. Oh,that's right, you are in the Beyond the Diapers stage. You know, that's not me. I am hot and heavy in diapers, but there is hope.1-2 more years and I am graduating. Hey, I may NOT be qualified to respond in your blog...but, I will take my changes - lol. Well, first and foremost, I daily read my Biblea at the moment I am in the Book of Romans. When I am finished my daily Bible reading, and I am not reading children's stories to my baby, if time alots, I enjoy reading magazines, specifically Adoptive Families Magazine. I love reading true stories that bring tears to my eyes; it's a great release, and I can always count on that subscription to give me that. There are many books in my library that I have yet to get to...I will though, when I am beyond diapers and spills!
Anita,Hey, I am so impressed with your computer skills. I think I am the only one in America without a facebook, myspace, etc... This is also my first time to ever blog. Wow! I have not had time to read lately. Two teenagers will do that to you. I do have a book to start. The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly. It is suppose to be awesome. I have had several people recommend it. I plan on reading The Shack. The people I know that have read it either loved it, or hated it. I will have to read for myself to find out. I am glad it is Friday. It is almost wine time. Enjoy your weekend.Ava
JENNY - I'm struggling with the crazy Buendias, but I'm determined!FELECIA - Enjoy the baby; I know you do. I've learned something...that there is a magazine for adoptive families. When I see the stories on TV, they are emotional and happy.AVA - You crack me up as usual! And, I'll have to Google The Tea Rose.Thanks "Girls" for Commenting. Enjoyed them!
Hello Anita,I am so glad to see and read what you're doing. I think this is a necessary and important subject matter to exchang and share info with mothers. Keep up the good work!!Your CousinBarbara
Thanks for the boost (cousin)Barbara S. xoxo
Anita, good for you. I love your writing. I, too, was a former stay- at-home mom. I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to share lots of time with my children so I could be the one who mainly impacted them in the thousands of moments in a day. Important work--it'll pass faster than you think. I'm now back to work and loving that too.I'm reading Holy Cow. It's about an Australian woman who went on a spiritual journey in India.Keep blogging and sharing your good work.
ANN,I really appreciate your compliments,and you sharing your past stay-at-homemom experience with me and others...the book you're reading, Holy Cow; the first thing that came to my mind was Eat, Pray, Love. I read that one with my book club. I wonder if the authors had similar experiences in India. xoxo

But It's a Dry Cold: 2011
Posted by Nick Morra at 3:34 PM No comments:
So the way I currently understand it, if gold is an interesting investment alternative, then silver is utterly fascinating. Gold and silver have often been used in tandem as units of money, silver being the "poor man's gold" mainly due to it being more abundant. Silver shares all the same properties of money as gold. If gold is worth something as a store of wealth, how do you value silver?
Throughout most of history, the gold-silver ratio has been around 15. This would imply that there is about 15 times more silver than gold. Apparently, silver is about 16 times more abundant in the earth's crust, so I guess the historical ratio is pretty close. If we know approximately how much gold and how much silver there is in the world, we should be able to do a rough calculation to see if this makes sense. I think it's important to know how much of each metal has been mined and is lying around somewhere on earth, and how much is being added to that cumulative total each year. And how much is being used up.
Most commodities have a somewhat predictable relationship of supply to price, although the time lags can be several years. For example, if people decide they need more zinc, demand goes up, meaning the price will go up, which now makes it more profitable to open a new zinc mine, which (eventually, after all the environmental assessments, permits, geology, building infrastructure, etc.) will result in more zinc on the market, and prices will adjust down. But silver, unlike most other metals, is usually mined as a byproduct of another mine like gold or lead; there aren't too many primary silver mines in the world. Which means it's that much harder for silver to respond to the supply-demand laws of economics. If the demand for silver goes way up, the price will rise but it will be very difficult for the market to create new supply as there just aren't the massive silver deposits sitting in the ground waiting to be mined. So the price of silver might stay high.
An extension to this is the scrap market. There are a couple of reasons why reusing silver is problematic. First of all, when silver is used industrially it is generally in minute quantities, which makes recovery expensive. How much time and effort does it take to recycle a few milligrams of silver from a circuit board? (It's these tiny amounts that also make silver relatively price-inelastic for industry.) And second, much "scrap" silver is in the form of silverware and other heirlooms that generally aren't for sale. For instance, the amount of silver scrap increased only about 50% in the late 1970s while the price of silver was going up 1000%.
As most people know, silver used to be used mainly in photographic film, and digital cameras have basically become the entire market. However, while photographic use of silver drops to zero, countless other industries are finding that silver is unique and irreplaceable. The main uses of silver these days is in electronics (silver being the single best electrical conductor) and also increasingly as an antibacterial agent. It is used in microscopic quantities, meaning (a) it is hard to recycle, and (b) it is fairly inelastic. A recent Kitco article projects industrial demand for silver to increase by 35% over the next five years. This would bring the demand from industry pretty close to the annual mining supply - which doesn't leave a lot of room for investment demand.
According to the World Gold Council, about 150,000 tonnes of gold have ever been mined, give or take. A few ounces have been lost or buried in dead people's dental work, but basically most of it is still around. (That sort of confirms its constant value over time: gold has never been so worthless that it gets lost.) This works out to a little more than 4 billion ounces, and mining can only increase the supply about 2-3% a year.
Data on silver is for some reason harder to nail down. My best guess for all the silver ever mined in history is a little over 40 billion ounces, or roughly ten times the historical figure for gold. Annual mining produces about 700 million new ounces a year, and like gold this supply does not change much regardless of price or other factors. So at best, there is ten times as much gold as silver, and the supply of both is quite consistent. But: while upwards of 95% of all gold ever mined is still around, a much lower percentage of silver still exists. One estimate is about 50%, meaning the other half has been consumed by industry, or is in landfills. And only a small fraction of this is in bullion form; the rest is jewelry and other artifacts that make is more difficult to obtain for investment.
So these admittedly rough estimates indicate that the ratio of silver to gold (the actual, tangible metals, not their prices) is a high of 10:1, and could be 5:1 or possibly lower.
The gold-silver price ratio has usually been around 15 or so for most of history due to the geologic availability of the two metals. It currently sits at 37.8. If the ratio were simply to revert to the average, the price of silver would go up to around $95 from $38 today (assuming the price of gold does not change). If the ratio hits 10:1 or even 5:1, then silver would be worth $143 or $287 respectively. If the dollar bears are right and gold continues to go up, you can double or triple all these prices.
Even if this whole fiat money/gold thesis is wrong and gold goes down, there's an excellent chance that silver will hold its own, due to the gold-silver ratio correction and to its own unique industrial demand. The only way I can see silver going down (apart from paper manipulation, but that's another story and should be unwinding soon anyway) is if a massive silver deposit was suddenly discovered, far bigger than anything ever found. It would have to be the silver equivalent of three or four new Saudi Arabias flooding the oil market. Apart from that, the downside risks are so low and the upside is so high.
Some very logical and sane people have been calling this a once-in-a-generation opportunity for while now. And it should continue, at least until we get either 1) a gold-backed currency, 2) double-digit interest rates to combat inflation, or 3) your cab driver starts asking you how much silver you own.

This week I thought I'd do something different. I've been getting a lot of neat animal shots and I thought I'd show a few. I'm sure I will use some later in other posts but this is a start of what I've been lucky enough to see.
Here are a mixture of Mallard Ducks and Canadian Geese sharing a flooded field. We had a lot of rain and the snow and ice is gone. (Michele - Do you see the Canadian?)
The two seemed to get along and were swimming together.
A large Red Tailed hawk flew across the road and landed in a tree close enough to capture a few shots before it got nervous. Can you see his 'crimson' tail (especially for Stacey).
There was a Coopers hawk in a tree that overhung the road. I turned around and got several shots.
I turned again and it kept posing. It was a nice bird.
I thought these were the best from a neat hawk encounter. A gust of wind ruffled it's feathers.
The deer came back to the back yard and posed. This was a mother and two fawns that are pretty well grown.
This was another day from the car. I saw a deer cross the road in front of me so I got my camera and drove closer. The one fawn was scared and gave me the white flag as it bolted. That is what it is called when a deer raises it's tail like that.
It did not go far and they settled in. I thought this was a neat family pose.
After lunch as I returned to work there were four deer crossing the driving range. I did get some shots at a long distance. I was able to get three in this shot.
I do hope you enjoyed my chance encounters with nature.
Posted by This Is My Blog - fishing guy at 7:16 PM
Yes, what an encounter indeed and you have pretty nice 'catch' there :)
Well done, Sir Hawkeye!!
A great series of wonderful pictures.The deer were in a photographic mood,I'd say.
Wow you really got some great photos..those of the hawk are extra special, love your close ups...kind of exciting to capture a hawk in your lens..especially one who will sit for you!! Playful deer..always one of my favs.
Loving your pics and looking forward to more.
I'd give my right big toe to get a Cooper's hawk shot as good as your! It's (they are) wonderful!
You certainly got nice captures of several species. What a great potpourri!
I can never get a good photo of the deer, cause they're always on the move. Never stopping.
Great shots again, FG!
Nice deer shots! Some deer have been visiting me in my front lawn.
looks like it was a good week for wildlife in your area. love the hawk pictures.
You always get such good pictures, Tom.. I especially love seeing the deer.
these are wonderful! i keep hoping to get a good photo of a hawk some day...when i see them, they are never willing to pose! lol
Fishing Guy: it's an amazing series of animals images. I like a lot the photos of the hawk on the tree.
How beautiful!! It is so nice when these birds co-operate. Many of our buck species also have a white underside to their tails which they raise when fleeing. This sight helps them stay together especially if it is dark.
You hit the jackpot there! Speaking of, were you in the group from Ohio that won all that lottery money? (haha) Great photos of the Hawks!
Loved all your encounters! Especially the ruffled feathers.
I certainly did enjoy your encounters with nature. Great photographs of a variety of fauna. My favorite is the hawk.
Wow...you really have been seeing some great stuff! I love the ducks and geese in the flooded field! The hawks shots are great. I saw one yesterday but the light was so poor, I never figured out what kind. And you have deer in the back yard...wow! I really crave some sunshine and time to get out and about for some photos.
Thank you so much for sharing these pictures and bringing the beauty of nature into my day! These are indeed wonderful pictures! What a wonderful place you must live in to see so many so often.
Now this is what I call having eye for the catch!
Getting much better and trying to gain the rythm again to be more around in blog world.
I enjoyed those Hawk shots FG. Well done for showing them.
LOL Fishing guy... YES I saw it's Crimson Tail.. Great images today.. I love seeing the wildlife in all parts of the world.. thanks for sharing
Looks like you had a good camera day. Great shots. :-)
I loved your encounters within Nature and how you not only found Nature, but how Nature also found you.
Such beautiful birds and deer! I love the hawk shots in the tree. Really amazing - and how nice of him to pose for you!!!
What incredible luck you have had, getting all these birds and the deer! I love the hawk with the ruffled feathers!
Lucky you to have such beautiful creatures as your neighbour, not like us staying in town. There's hardly any wildlife I can find here, unless I go to the zoo.

Obviously it depends on who's performing, but it also depends on what we're looking for.Geraldine Rojas and the late Carlos Gavito gave one of those unique and "I wish I'd been there" performances a few years ago. Carlos illustrated his mantra "less is more" - that passion, timing, and giving time for his partner to improvise was far more important than what he once referred to as 'dancing like a bunch of washing machines". Geraldine shows her clear joy at dancing with one of tango's greats, but it didn't get in the way of her demonstrating her exquisite skills that complemented her partner's intensity. What can I learn from this piece? Aim to evoke sensuality from the dance and focus on musicality - but that'll mean keeping it simple.And two dancers who do keep it relatively simple are Sebastian Achaval & Roxanna Suarez while performing this great De Angelis piece; note the word relatively. Mind you, their turns are brilliant - no chance of emulating that - but they otherwise dance small figures that would be familiar to many intermediate dancers. So what puts them on quite a different plane? Their execution is precise, balanced, and grounded for a start. Now add a generous layer of timing while they expertly link their figures seamlessly. And finally, as with the other couple, their musicality - the dance reflecting the moods & changing rhythms of the music. Again, I learned more about timing & musicality, but there's no short cut to the hours of constant practice that needs to go into it.Bob

Some people like to start dancing each tango (vals or milonga) as soon as possible. "We're here to dance, so let's make the most of it." But I 'm rather fond of the old tradition of not dancing the moment the music starts. And I'm finding that the more I get to know the music, the more I like to tune in to the opening phrases - somewhat like savouring an appetiser before the main course.Certainly the music of the Golden Age of tango isn't anywhere near as complex as that of the genius Astor Piazzolla. The rhythms and patterns are more predictable, so social dancers can easily connect and respond to them. Yet the great musicians of that era were no slouches. The large number of dancers at that time had very high expectations. So in the first 10 - 20 seconds of a piece, the artistry of the arrangement and brilliance of the musicians were able to create the mood for the dance. This is the time for the body to absorb the music, indeed surrender to it. And later, when the singer comes in, especially if you understand some of the lyrics, that's another treat! (Sometimes I get goose-bumps.)Those interested in music could easily spend an hour or two on Rick McGarrey's brilliant website where he looks at some fabulous pieces of tango music in Cracking the code. It will feel like peeling away the many layers of an onion - tears and all! After this, Golden Age tango music will never seem the same.Pat

Hens in the Orchard: Life in the Orchard
Life here is a
joy in the orchard everyday there are such pleasures with different colours of
the rainbow mainly clear blue skies, wonderful fresh luxurious green grass with
brilliant white daisy popping up their heads with bright yellow eyes to say
hello. The pale delicate blossom with tissue paper thin petals that smells so
sweet. Daffodils blowing their trumpets along the path, previously walked by
badgers and deer. The first butterflies are emerging sunning themselves on the
top branches. It is such a joy to visit the ladies in the orchard and being
greeted with happy clucking and rewarded with eggs with sunshine centres. I
sometimes still rush down to see them in the morning in my dressing gown and
welly boots never open-toed shoes as they think my toes look rather tasty.
Today they are in for a treat black-berries that I have found at the bottom of
my freezer. I boil them up, strain them and then re-boil with sugar to taste.
Let them cool down then swirl it through vanilla ice-cream then return to the
freezer for awhile. Delicious and the girls have the pulp.

Proteus - Review | Rambling Fox Gaming Reviews
Home » 2013 » Artistic Games » Casual Games » Exploration Games » Indie Games » Introspective Games » Linux Games » Mac Games » Modern PC Games » Pixellated Graphics » PlayStation 3 Games » PlayStation Vita Games » Windows Games » Proteus - Review
‘Proteus’ is a game set to divide opinion on everything from its very status as a game to the skill involved in its design. Clearly I consider it to be a game but this definition is fairly loose to begin with and, if anything, ‘Proteus’ is simply a walking simulator with little to offer in terms of interactivity. That said, there is something distinctly magical about this game and it is truly best appreciated when you’re playing it by yourself without knowing much about it and, preferably, without having paid too much. So, if you don’t mind your experience of the game ‘Proteus’ to be ruined I’ll go into detail about what this game is all about.
Look a house! Enjoy our landmarks!
Genre: Exploration game, walking simulator
Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita
ESRB: None - suitable for everyone
This mellow game contains no objectives, no characters, no dialogue and no storyline. That’s not to say the game is entirely empty as instead of these things you’re instead invited to explore what is present within the procedurally generated wilderness. As you’re exploring you’ll encounter some pretty pieces of scenery such as mountains, ponds and forests and to enhance the whole experience you’ll gradually work through all four seasons as well as playing through a day and night cycle. It’s a tough one for me. Usually I really enjoy artsy games even when there’s not a whole lot going on; ‘Flower’ for instance was frequently heralded by some as a complete waste of time but, in its defence, at least it had stages and objectives. I’m quite unsure about ‘Proteus’ though as whilst I want to like it and I appreciate that it’s designed to be a form of interactive artwork rather than a game with goals there’s just something off about it. Maybe it’s the price tag. I have played free, online browser games there were more thought provoking than this and yet ‘Proteus’ is asking for £7 so that I may partake in an uneventful, if peaceful, walk.
Tiny, tiny gravestones in a field of giant lemons.
It is a very attractive game however and whilst some criticize the pastel, pixelated art style I found it to be quite endearing. Rather than a sign of laziness I preferred it to be 16-bit as it encouraged an imaginative view of the world and enhanced the simplicity of the game. Everything was well done which is the important thing; individual floating leaves from the trees in autumn, the steadily shifting rain clouds overhead with hundreds of droplets of water or the tiny crowd of terrified quails I encountered in the woodland. Oh yes, there’s life out there but unfortunately you cannot really interact with it other than make it run away from you. Birds, frogs, insects and similar small creatures can be encountered here and there so in the very least the game does not feel lifeless. Clouds breach through the landscape in a natural manner and there’s plenty of flowers and things of that sort but still, it’s just lacking. I was hoping to stumble across some kind of abandoned civilization, mysteries to uncover, landmarks to marvel at… but there was nothing truly of note. The developers have added in a few things to discover and upon reaching them visual events will be your reward for stumbling upon them but I suppose I was looking for something that ran deep throughout the entire island. I remember playing ‘Shadow of the Colossus’, I know this is a long shot of a comparison, but the empty nature of the lands and the little hints here and there of a long forgotten society really fuelled my imagination yet ‘Proteus’ doesn’t give enough in the way of this. Every time the game was started the island unfurled in a different way and I’d come across what appeared to be natural pathways and, at one point, I swear I found gravestones but it’s all open to interpretation due to the lack of explanation. It was only with the release of this game on the PlayStation 3 and the introduction of trophies that I realized there was more to discover such as teleporting towers and particular ‘landmarks’ but, as I said, it’s not particularly inspiring.
Death everywhere you look. And not just because of the winter.
What I really appreciated about the game was the strong focus on its ability to immerse you entirely with its simple visuals and unusual audios. The soundtrack to the game changes depending on your location on the island as well as your proximity to living creatures. At times the audio is so loud it makes you jump whilst often it’s subtle and as peaceful as your surroundings but its shifting nature is very effective at building anticipation or encouraging further exploration.
Decent draw distance, pretty open world, but there's not much to find
‘Proteus’ is delightfully immersive and a lovely thing altogether but without objectives it makes it hard to enjoy for longer than half an hour. Thankfully the introduction of the trophies gave me something to strive for but it still felt forced and as though I was only completing them to try and wring as much out of this game as possible which, honestly, is not how I want to enjoy my games yet I felt forced to scrape the barrel for positive experiences. I truly wanted to enjoy the game to the fullest extent but the overriding feeling that I was being ripped off was constantly looming over me and it really spoilt my time playing it. If the game was developed and expanded on whilst maintaining its status as a feast for the senses then I’m sure I’d have few qualms with its original identity. As it stands, however, I feel it’s simply an artistic walking simulator that may or may not be worth your time depending on how you feel about fairly uneventful strolls.
Autumn is by far the prettiest season but it's still not enough
Procedural generation of island adds in different experiences
It's an immersive and calming experience
A graphical style that is simple, well done and undeniably beautiful
It's a whole different notion of what a game is
Nice little bits here and there to discover
Trophies to add in some additional playtime
Encourages a sense of imagination and wonderment
It's a fairly uneventful game
Feels like more could have been done with the genre
It's overpriced for what you get
Lacking in any meaningful message
A lack of goals and objectives results in little reason to fully explore
Once you've seen it once you've seen it all
Final thoughts: "This game really does divide gamers into two camps, people who think this is a game and people who think it doesn't have enough within it to qualify it as such. I guess on the plus side it's certainly challenged the modern notion of what a game is but it's a huge debate I'd rather stay out of..."

1. Human civilization or a comparable civilization is unlikely to reach a level of technological maturity capable of producing simulated realities or such simulations are physically impossible to construct.
According to Bostrom at least one of these propositions must be true. His argument rests on the premise that given sufficiently advanced technology, it is possible to represent the populated surface of the Earth without recourse to digital physics; that the qualia experienced by a simulated consciousness are comparable or equivalent to those of a naturally occurring human consciousness; and that one or more levels of simulation within simulations would be feasible given only a modest expenditure of computational resources in the real world.
