This image of a Snow Monkey family huddled together was created on the February 25, 2014 at 12:26pm on the Japan in Winter IPT with the tripod-mounted Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Lens with Internal 1.4x Extender (with the internal extender in place at 345mm) and the Canon EOS-1D X. ISO 800. Evaluative metering +3 1/3 stops off the snow: 1/125 sec. at f/14 in Manual mode. Color temperature 7,000K.

Two years ago I created the image below. I liked it from the moment I saw it on the back of the camera. It made it to the final round of BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition judging.
On our first day at the Snow Monkey Park folks were asking, "When do we get that big pile of monkeys?
Just before lunch today there were three monkeys huddled together on the edge of the onsen (hot springs pool). They were facing into the pool. The problem was that there were about 8 photographers behind them piled in tight. So there was no shot from the other side of the pool. The three monkeys posed and posed. The gathered photographers were taking images of their backs with wide angle lenses. The three monkeys posed and posed and posed. Finally I could not take it any longer. I called out, "The shot is from this side of the pool. All that you are getting are the same close-up face images that you have been getting all morning. If you folks would move over here we could all do well." Nobody listened at first. Then a tall gent from South Africa backed me up. One by one everyone joined us on the side of the pool with the monkeys facing the photographers. But by this time two or three of them were sleeping.
Please let me know which image you think is the stronger one, the new image above or the older image below? And to let me know why.

23 comments to One Better?
Groups of three almost always look better balanced than groups of four – uneven numbers look more balanced than even ones.
There is direct eye contact with two out of three monkeys in the first image which is more engaging with the viewer and their faces are arranged in a pleasing curve.
The monkeys in the second image are not only looking away but their eyes are not even all looking in the same direction (look carefully) leading to a sense of a lack of engagement.
I would be tempted to crop out the pair on the right.
This choice is very nearly too difficult to make. If I couldn't have both I would definitely be disappointed and miss the one I couldn't have. If for some presentation reason I were looking for a 'portrait format' I would choose the 3 shot with the young one so preciously burrowed between it's parents. Odd numbers of subjects are traditionally considered compositionally stronger than even numbers, but that is to put form over content. The 4 shot reminds me of the scene in Kubrick's 2001 of the family group. The content dynamics are just as strong and the horizontal suits the group of four just fine. The total seven individuals are all too priceless to choose between. How much space do you have on your wall and what shape will work best?
The newer camera technology with the 4 shot pleases me and perhaps the photographer's already superb taste and technique are more evolved in the four shot, but it is still a 'choice too far' for me.
Well I see I'm in the minority here but I like this year's better. I see more detail and their eyes are so clear. The white background in the 2013 shot is very bright and somewhat distracting whereas the exposure and tonal values in this year's are spot on. Also the texture in their coats this year is much finer and realistic. However, I would be ecstatic if I could have shot both! Exceptional photography as usual.
Hi Artie, great pictures, but I think the old one is the strongest, simply because the three monkeys are engaging with you (and us as the viewers) more than the new shot.
I would be interested to know if the new shot at +3 1/3 off the snow means the snow is blown or not ? I am guessing it was, but you are not after detail in the snow. ?
I agree with the others. The trio has a very personal family felling to it. Much better in my mind!
– The gradient from white BG to light adults to darker child.
– And those tones framing the red faces and brown/green eyes.
– Seeing the shoulders of the adults and just the child's face.
– The top and bottom ones looking at us with the middle looking pensively aside.
– I've heard that odd numbers make more powerful images (from Juan Pons).
I love the 1st image of the family all looking one direction, absolutely fine art, great job Artie !
The three monkeys is the better shot. The eyes make all the difference. They are incredible.
I like the trio best, I like the flowing curved line from one face to the other to the other. Also the young one looks so safe and comfortable.
Hi, Artie. Thanks and congratulations. I have to agree with the others, the one of the three monkeys from a couple years ago is one of the best wildlife photographs I've ever seen, including all the ones of yours I've seen. Maybe it's absolutely the best. The composition and facial expressions are perfect. And that the monkeys are looking at the camera helps as well. If you hadn't made that image, I'd say those things about the new one, and indeed it is an amazingly fine image. But I don't know how you or anyone else can equal, let alone top, the one from 2 years ago.
The new image is lovely and I wish it were mine, but the old image is much betetr with the trio hurdling tight and looking straight at the viewer.
Artie: Enjoying your postings from Japan. The picture from your previous trip (trio) is clearly my favorite. An intimate family portrait, stronger facial expressions, father and son looking at you in the eye, and the young one "nested" and protected by his elders.
Artie good morning or evening. The trio is definitely hands down the winner. Anytime you have a odd number is better the eye perceives even numbered objects. More intimate the family unit protecting the youngster. So close almost looks like one unit. As far as eye contact I think the trio is stronger.This photo is actually stronger as a family unit.
In my mind, no question that the older one is way more intimate and a much more powerful image to me. The new one is very good but in comparison to the old one it just lacks composition, intimacy and that sense of family like the older one does.
The photography of Artie Morris.
Everyday I look forward to seeing and learning something about photography.
The source is the genius of Artie Morris.
I truly admire your photographic, communications, and importantly your blogging skills.
Thank you for making a difference every day.
THE ONE FROM YOUR LAST TRIP WINS HANDS DOWN. THE MALE IS LOOKING RIGHT AT YOU AND IT DEFINITELY LOOKS LIKE A FAMILY PORTRAIT. THIS YEAR'S IMAGE LOOKS LIKE A GROUP HUDDLED TOGETHER TO KEEP WARM. MOREOVER, THEY ARE ALL LOOKING AWAY AS IF DISTRACTED BY SOMETHING ELSE. THERE IS NO SENSE OF INTIMACY.
Both are outstanding. I think the new image is a bit stronger because the eyes of all four are looking in the same direction.
Both are appealing but the trio is phenomenal. It has more emotion.
I'll always love the trio. No other image has ever affected me so strongly; a powerful reminder that I too am a naked ape.
I also like the new image, but the lack of eye contact reduces it's power.
one is a more traditional family portrait.

Caracas (AFP) - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Thursday warned the armed forces in his crisis-hit country against "fissures" in their ranks, ahead of war games seen as a show of strength after US President Donald Trump's threat of military action.
Maduro launched the warning in a speech to his top military leadership, including General Vladimir Padrino, his defense minister, and General Remigio Ceballos, commander of operational strategy, two days before the drills begin Saturday.
"We must be clear, especially for the youth in the military, that we must close ranks within the homeland -- that this is no time for any fissures and that those with doubts should leave the armed forces immediately," Maduro said.
"You are with Trump and the imperialists, or you are with the Bolivarian national armed forces and the homeland," he added. "Never before has Venezuela been threatened in such a way."
Maduro has faced months of deadly mass protests by opponents who blame him for an economic crisis and are demanding elections to replace him. His main source of support is the military.
Venezuela's opposition has repeatedly urged the military to abandon Maduro, so far to no avail. He has only faced low-level dissent, such as from the two rebel officers who staged a raid on an army base this month.
Maduro urged the military to "be prepared to fight fiercely... in the face of an eventual" US invasion.
"They treat us as a dictatorship," said the embattled president.
Since Trump's threat, Vice President Mike Pence sought to soften the message, saying during a visit to Latin America that he was sure democracy could be restored in Venezuela through economic and diplomatic pressure.
In another move made with an eye on Washington, Maduro announced he had moved his oil minister Nelson Martinez over to run the state oil giant PDVSA -- and brought the company's boss Eulogio Del Pino over to be his oil minister.
Maduro told the military leaders that in the face of possible future added US sanctions on Venezuela, "I decided to do some re-casting... we have to prepare ourselves."
He pointed out that Del Pino, who has been at the helm of PDVSA since 2014, was the architect of agreements between OPEC and non-OPEC countries to boost flagging crude prices.
As for Martinez, who took over the oil ministry in January, Maduro said he would work to increase Chinese, Russian, Indian and Malaysian investments in PDVSA's various projects.
"We are in a moment of flexibility to face the economic war," said Maduro.
So far, the United States has applied economic sanctions directly targeting Maduro, who says the economic collapse that has dragged his country into crisis is a US-backed conspiracy.
He has accused Washington of preparing fresh economic sanctions and a "naval blockade" to stifle oil exports, which account for nearly all of Venezuela's hard currency reserves.
The fall in world crude prices has left Venezuela -- which has the largest proven oil reserves in the world -- short of dollars for vital imports. The country is suffering from shortages of basic goods and medicines.
Earlier this month, PDVSA reported a sharp 33.5 percent drop in revenues for 2016, as compared with the previous year.
The average price of a barrel of Venezuelan crude declined 21 percent to $35.15 in 2016, down from $44.65 in 2015, it said.
The opposition blames Maduro's economic management for the crisis, and his critics accuse him of clinging to power by hijacking state institutions, such as by installing a new constituent assembly packed with loyalists.
Clashes between anti-government protesters and police this year have left 125 people dead, according to prosecutors.
Also on Thursday, Venezuela took two Colombian television networks off the air -- Caracol Television and RCN.
Caracas is angry at Bogota for offering protection to Maduro's onetime attorney general Luisa Ortega, who is now a fierce critic of his government.

Pretty in Ink: Trina Robbins Schools Me on Women in Comics
May 18, 2014 May 18, 2014 ~ illustrationclass
Trina Robbins at PIX, 2014, photo by Kevin McCloskey
In the 1980's I drew the occasional cartoon for the San Francisco Bay Guardian, an alternative weekly newspaper. Trina Robbins, the great underground cartoonist, drew a strip for them, too. We never met until last month at Pittsburgh's PIX comics convention. Trina is the foremost expert on the history of women in comics. Her newest book, Pretty in Ink: North American Women Comics 1896-2013, published by Fantagraphic, is the definitive work on the subject. She showed me the hefty book. It is an impressive and important volume. I ordered a copy for Kutztown's Rohrbach Library. Any school with an illustration major or a women's studies major should order a copy for their library, too.
Illustrator Rose O'Neill became a millionaire with her invention of Kewpies.
Rose O'Neill
A free sample chapter from Pretty in Ink can be found here. It is a quite fascinating chapter about the Irish-American Rose O'Neill. O'Neill began her career in her teens, so young that nuns would chaperone her visits to Manhattan art directors. O'Neill's 1896 comic strip may have been the first ever published by a woman. Her most famous creations were the Kewpies and the Kewpie doll, cupid-like sprites she claimed visited her in her dreams. She was the first woman to draw for Puck and in 1917 the first woman inducted in the all-male Society of Illustrators.
She studied abroad, including sculpture lessons with Rodin. She held great parties at her Washington Square townhouse studio in Greenwich Village. The press described her as one of the 5 most beautiful women in the world. She managed to be a suffragette, a sex symbol, and a doll-maker.

O'Neill's pen and ink drawings for Puck are brilliant. The Rose O'Neill Museum, Bonniebrook, in the Ozarks in Missouri has an archive of hundreds of images, like the one above, worth exploring.
Poster for Mary Blair exhibit at Disney Family Museum San Francisco
When I told Trina Robbins I taught the history of graphic design, she challenged me to tell her which female illustrators I included in my lectures. At the moment the only woman I could think of of was Violet Oakley, who painted the magnificent murals in the Pennsylvania Capitol Building in Harrisburg. Then Trina asked me if I taught about Mary Blair. Mary Blair? I had to admit I'd never heard of her. Trina shook her finger at me and told me I owed it to my students to look her up. She told me Blair is the subject of a show at San Francisco's Disney Museum. (Full disclosure, I didn't even know there was a Disney Museum in S.F.)
I did look up Mary Blair and learned she created much of the concept art for Disney's greatest animated features including Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. Blair's Little Golden Books are enjoying a renaissance as new readers appreciate her timeless style. Blair, who died in 1978, was inducted this year, 2014, into the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame.
Mary Blair concept art for Alice in Wonderland.
I asked Trina Robbins if it was hard finding historical information about women in comics. She said the research was tough in the beginning, but once she published her first essays, people came out of the woodwork to share comics by women. She had more to say in this 2008 interview at the International Museum of Women site. "I knew that there had been more women cartoonists, and the guys would always justify their attitudes by saying, 'Well, women just don't draw comics. Women have never drawn comics.' And I knew that wasn't true. So I did a lot of research and, of course, I was right. I found hundreds of women cartoonists. Really, really great women cartoonists."
I'm happy I got to meet the legendary Trina Robbins. It is quite wonderful the definitive history of women in comics is written by a woman practitioner. I will read Pretty in Ink cover to cover and add more slides of women's work in my historical survey of graphic design class. I promise.

Hey All, Have a new Crosstrek coming in for just side windows. Anything Pointers?
That would be a GREAT X Mas gift!!! Happy Holidays from Koalaty Tint and Detail.
Hey thanks for the reply. Looked at the car today looks straight forward.
Hey All, Just got a call about one of these. It's a all window job, should I run or is it straight forward job. Can a 20" roll work for these windows?
Hey any body done one of these? Tuck or remove door panel? Just have the front side windows to do.
Hey All, Any pointers on this one. Looks like rubber trimming and removing back deck to get behind the third brake light. How about pulling door panels or not? Back side windows look like a pain. Thanks for any info.
I always used a razor blade knife. But have not done that in awhile. I use the Tri edge pink now.


Flight is a movie that grips you soon after it starts as you literally feel the terror of being trapped on airplane where a maintenance failure causes it to drop out of the air. You also are riveted as every scene of that crash is filmed and choreographed so well. You watched with fearful anticipation as an expert pilot is able to save most of the passengers in what would be term as a miracle in the film.
At the center of this chaos is Denzel Washington. He plays the main character, Captain Whip Whitaker. His character's name sounds heroic. The story centers on heroism and also character flaws. Deep ones. In this case, alcohol and drugs. Yes, Denzel's character was drunk and high on coke , when he piloted the doomed aircraft.
The movie delves deep into the unraveling of lies of the hero and his alcoholism.
The story is edgy but it is the acting of Denzel Washington that is stellar. I thought while watching his performance that I was literally in the presence of one of the greatest actors of our time. He is so nuanced and so believable in this very human Whitaker character. He is likable, but at the same time, you can see him wallowing in his self destruction.
He does this dance with his destiny that you know will ultimately fail. In the end, the definition of hero is redefined.
He certainly deserves an Oscar nomination and in my mind, the award for best male actor of the year. Director Robert Zemeckis does wonders with this film but it is Washington who makes it worth seeing. I hope you do.

COVID-19 CHICAGO BUSINESS REOPENING & REIGNITING
Notable Chicago experts and business leaders gathered in mid-January to discuss the complex issue of balancing workspaces and the importance of trust in reconnecting our employees, consumers, and local communities into in-person, office building experiences.
Frank Pasquesi (Managing Partner, Foley & Lardner LLP) moderated the discussion with an esteemed panel, including Derrick Johnson (SVP, Zeller and President, Board of Directors, BOMA/Chicago); Gary A. Noskin, M.D. (SVP, Quality, Northwestern Memorial Healthcare; Chief Medical Officer, Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Professor of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine); and Gitte Schjøtz (EVP & Chief Technical and Operations Officer, UL).
"The panel was outstanding, providing practical guidance and answering questions posed during the event," said Frank Pasquesi. "Generally, the panel's overall view is to remain flexible and focused on the ever-changing needs, concerns, and best practices as we continue to see circumstances change, adapt and evolve in the coming weeks and months."
Here are a few tidbits shared during the interactive event, which included a live question-and-answer session with attendees.
The most frequent questions Dr. Noskin reported to be asked are "When will this pandemic end?" or "When will my life go back to normal?" His estimate is when we achieve what's called herd immunity. "The concept that once we get a certain population vaccinated or protected because of natural infection, that the virus can no longer propagate."
Gitte Schjøtz, EVP & Chief Technical and Operations Officer, UL, has a great perspective on the application of pandemic related concerns. Joining us from quarantine in a Singapore hotel room, Gitte talked about UL's work and expertise in researching, publishing, and applying safety protocols. While there are many practical applications, she shared that just as important is the role science and trust plays in building a sense of safety. "This is about trust, how you feel about your coworker or customers visiting, how you trust in a building; the performance, and the health of the building." Gitte went on to describe how UL has been helping their customers quickly and safely respond to the crisis and established protocols for the UL offices and field staff around the world to safely remain open for business. "We developed a start safe playbook which outlines all the protocols and processes our staff and offices must follow, to enable employees to perform essential services on-site, as expected of a global leader in safety. And obviously, with science in our genes, we happily make this playbook available publicly, including checklists on key recommendations so other organizations can leverage our approach as well." Gitte encourages anyone interested to download the information on the UL website at: ul.com/resources/start-safe-playbook.
Derrick Johnson leads the management of Zeller properties in Illinois and Indiana and serves as board president for BOMA/Chicago (Building Owners and Managers Association). In other words, he thinks of office buildings more often than not. Derrick's advice to the group is to find ways to begin a return to the office, if only for a couple of days. "It is important for everyone who hasn't been in the office to just start coming back, see that it's safe, and find ways to feel and be comfortable." Again, flexibility is key here, expecting we'll see in the coming months a new semblance of balance, with remote and in-office work options.
Dr. Noskin closed by sharing that he and others in the medical field are seeing a marked decrease in common colds this year because of the protocols we have in place. "The best way to prevent spread is to wear a mask, maintain social distancing, and wash hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based solution."

There was a definite buzz in the room at Soma Analytics' recent event 'Where Science and Technology Meet to Beat Stress At Work'. Friends of Soma Analytics came together to share stories and ideas on how we can work together to beat stress at work, using our skills and expertise in science and technology.
The room was a mix of occupations, including; sleep professors, mindfulness experts, HR professionals, healthcare professionals to insurance providers, developers, product owners. Everybody in the room was motivated by working together to reduce the biggest cause of sickness absence in the workplace – stress.
The event was kicked off by our fantastic hosts, The Humble Grape, sharing their own journey (and stresses!) of setting up a business based on their passion: biodynamic and organic wine from small, independent producers. Each handpicked for their own unique story and flavours.
A round of organic Prosecco (with it's own unique story) was followed by a talk from Soma Analytics' Co-Founder and Head of Science, Christopher Lorenz.
Christopher shared the story of Soma Analytics own 'organic' growth. Starting from a retreat in the Swiss Alps, where the company was founded and 'Soma Analytics' was born. Quite ironically for a technology company the chocolate-box style hut they had rented had no electricity or running water.
Some memorable moments and photos followed, with the story moving from alpine huts to German sleep labs, to developing Soma Analytics' unique sleep algorithm – that is now the built-in sleep tracker within our Kelaa Mental Resilience app.
A big move to London followed, made possible by sponsorship from individuals and companies that believed in Soma Analytics and saw the vision of what it was trying to achieve through Kelaa.
The grand finale of the story, and bringing us back to the present day, was Soma Analytics being awarded €1.8M in funding from the biggest EU innovation and research programme – Horizon 2020. This will allow Soma Analytics to deliver the largest Randomised Controlled Trial of its kind, looking at reducing stress in the workplace via a smartphone application and HR analytics dashboard. For more information email research@soma-analytics.com.
Quite a journey for the three Founders of Soma Analytics. A journey that brought together everyone in the room around a united cause.
The second part of the evening was kicked off by an intro into Humble Grape's most highly recommended white wines. This very much helped start conversations flowing as Nicky Hemmings, Soma Analytics' Lead Psychologist, shared the science behind Kelaa Mental Resilience in an interactive exercise. Kelaa defines stress as the imbalance between the demands on us, and the resources we have to cope with them.
Soma's model of stress. Stress is an imbalance between our demands and the resources we have available to deal with them. It is based on Bakker, A. B., & Demerouti, E. (2007). The job demands-resources model.
Sharpie pens were grabbed, wine glasses filled and discussions started on what demands had taken their toll on energy levels during the day, London transport and laptop issues featured heavily. This was balanced with an appreciation of what resources had helped support, grow and develop levels of mental resilience. The discussion then expanded to how to help build resources and reduce unnecessary demands for individuals, teams and businesses.
Guests excitedly discussed their demands and resources, both for themselves, their teams and their businesses.
The event was fueled by an enthusiasm to change the current workplace for the better, helping to beat stress at work through introducing science and tech. It was great to have so many people together to discuss this and begin to help increase wellbeing at work.

Disney In Depth: Previewing Upcoming Disney Editions Books
By Brett Nachman | @ | Thursday, April 21st, 2016 at 9:00 pm
Disney Editions has an exciting release schedule over the next six months. Honoring some of the coolest characters, themes, and elements of all things Disney, these six titles should be on your "Disney wish list" for a variety of reasons. Here is my preview of upcoming Disney Editions books!
Disney Facts Revealed: Answers to Fans' Curious Questions (Disney Editions Deluxe) by Dave Smith (May 3, 2016)
Dave Smith knows practically anything you would ever think of when it comes to The Walt Disney Company. After all, he was the chief archivist of The Walt Disney Archives. This title promises to unveil secrets that have yet to be published and, considering how much Smith has written about the corporation, that should mean some pretty neat content shall come to light. Its early sales are encouraging. Plus, the $10 price tag makes Smith's Disney Editions book reasonable. This should be a must purchase for the ultimate Disney connoisseur.
The Art of Disney's Dragons by Tom Bancroft (June 28, 2016)
You can possibly thank the forthcoming release of the new version of Pete's Dragon for prompting the development and debut of this book from Tom Bancroft, perhaps most notable as the supervising animator of Mushu from Mulan. I guess it's only apropos, then, that he is the individual responsible for crafting a Disney Editions book that showcases Disney's long history of dragon characters. There's the obvious ones, such as dragon Maleficent and Figment, but also The Reluctant Dragon, the dragon version of Susan Sarandon's Queen Narissa from Enchanted, and the dragon form of Madam Mim from The Sword in the Stone. It appears to be a shorter read (at only 128 pages), but should provide a thorough analysis from such a knowledgeable and gifted artist like Bancroft, who has animated popular Disney heroic figures like Pocahontas and Young Simba.
In keeping up with the dragon theme, here is how Disney translated the Maleficent dragon to theme park form in the Festival of Fantasy Parade via a video by YouTube channel Attractions Magazine.
Disney Villains: Delightfully Evil: The Creation • The Inspiration • The Fascination (Disney Editions Deluxe) by Jen Darcy (July 12, 2016)
Their intentions are evil, but we love to root for some of the bad guys and gals. Many of Disney's dastardly characters will steal the show – and likely a good amount of space – within this book by Jen Darcy, who has written many titles and articles for the company over the years. The Amazon.com description notes that her favorite villains are Ursula and Shere Kahn, so expect them to get some extra love. What most intrigues me is that it notates the book will also focus on Disney villains within pop culture. Does that mean some attention on Cosplay, the folks who dress up as these personalities at fan events? I suppose we will know come July whether images of major Maleficent aficionados appear in Darcy's book.
Tales from the Haunted Mansion: Volume I: The Fearsome Foursome by Amicus Arcane (July 19, 2016)
It looks like we must enter a "room with no windows and no doors" to fully appreciate this title by Amicus Arcane, based on Disney's darkest attraction. This new series from Disney Editions, based on The Haunted Mansion, is targeted for the kiddos (grade-school age), yet might be worth snatching for mansion enthusiasts. Disney has certainly ramped up its efforts in promoting The Haunted Mansion brand over recent years, especially in the publishing realm. Capitalizing on widespread adoration of the mysterious ghouls and legends that inhabit the E-ticket experience, this new book should offer some additional perspective for "foolish mortals."
The Haunted Mansion's history is briefly chronicled in the video below by the DisneyParks YouTube channel.
The Walt Disney Studios: A Lot to Remember (Disney Editions Deluxe) by Rebecca Cline and Steven B. Clark (September 6, 2016)
Two capable Disney experts and valued members of the company author what will surely be a memorable experience down Dopey Drive – for the unacquainted, this is one of the famous streets within The Walt Disney Studios. Rebecca Cline and Steven B. Clark, known to Disney fans as the director of The Walt Disney Archives and founder of D23, respectively, have quite an undertaking in documenting the evolution of the studio and the innumerable productions filmed there. I am confident in their capacity to give this monumental subject matter – and physical site – justice.
The Disney Park Maps (Disney Editions Deluxe) by Kevin Neary and Susan Neary (October 18, 2016)
A book dream come true for individuals like me, who would spend hours pouring over Disney theme park maps as a child, news of this release just about had me grinning. The co-authors, Kevin Neary and Susan Neary, whose forthcoming book on Hidden Mickeys within Walt Disney World debuts this summer, do double duty for Disney this year in presenting context on the "visual guides" to the vacation destinations in only around 150 pages. The description promises to cover the evolution of lands and chart Disney's international theme parks, too. Here's hoping we also see some maps of lands, or entire theme parks, that never came to fruition.
This is Brett Nachman, signing off. Follow me on Twitter for alerts of new editions of Disney In Depth, released on the first and third Thursdays of each month on Geeks of Doom.

Weekend Walks
Things Are Afoot
Bowl Of Chalk - London Walking Tours
Weekend Roundup - 27th/28th July- '13
My weekend of guided walks around London got off to start by checking out German artist, Katharina Fritsch's big blue cock in Trafalgar Square. Unveiled just two days earlier on the permanently redundant but most in the news, fourth plinth, Fritsch's sculpture has not surprisingly been effortlessly filling column inches with double entendres ever since. Without meaning to add to this, I have to say, that it was much bigger than I expected. I think it's good, that despite all our previous attempts to look back at how amazing we are, the battles we have won and the war heroes who made it possible, we still have a bit of a sense of humour, a bit of perspective and that now, we don't perhaps take ourselves quite so seriously. The previous sculpture of a boy on a rocking horse seemed to be another example of this and the current offering is certainly continuing the tradition.
Cock/Hahn - Katharina Fritsch - Fourth Plinth - Trafalgar Square
The group of 14 hailed from Dubai, South Africa, New Zealand and the Peak District amongst other places. Mandy was back for her third walk with me and the rest were all first timers. Here they all are in Covent Garden on our way to St Paul's cathedral.
In the afternoon I was delighted that Zayn and Alan were able to come on another walk, a year and a bit after their first one. We had a leisurely meander from St Paul's cathedral over to Bankside, then back across London Bridge to finish at Monument. Here they are standing in front of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, the faithful recreation of an Elizabethan theatre. Its very existence is owed to Sam Wanamaker who unfortunately died shortly before he saw over two decades work come to fruition. I think I've mentioned this before, but even so, I'll mention it again ... in January 2014, the Globe will be opening the only indoor, candle-lit theatre in London, a recreation of a Jacobean theatre. Aside from being an exciting prospect and one which will allow them to perform plays all the year round, it will also mean that the only thatched roof in London, and the only candle-lit theatre will be right next to each other.
On Sunday, seven people joined me for a wander around east London. Martin from Philadelphia, who to all intents and purposes sounded completely American, had, it turned out, actually spent the first eight years of his life in Dalston, just up the road. Katherine was the only fully fledged Londoner in that respect whilst Jennie & Rees were down from Manchester for the weekend. Tobias and Kirsten from Germany have been living in the UK for about 14 years so were quite well versed in all things Londony. Here they all are just by Hoxton Square, with one of street artist Stik's instantly recognisable murals behind them.

When visiting London for the first time, it can be a bit tricky knowing what to do, where to go and what to see. However, I imagine that for the vast majority of these people ... if not all, seeing 'Big Ben' is very probably incredibly near to the top of their 'must do' list. It's situated in Westminster and I've discovered recently, that many people (upon seeing Big Ben) are surprised that it's actually attached to another building. The many replica Big Ben's that line the shelves of the mildly rubbish souvenir shops in central London, very much give the false impression that it is a stand alone clock tower.
Big Ben - Houses of Parliament
The second surprise that first time visitors get, is to learn that 'Big Ben' is not in fact the name given to either clock, or the tower (it was renamed last year, the Elizabeth Tower) but the massive hour bell inside. As with most things in London its very existence and indeed the nickname which is known throughout the world comes with a story, a bit of controversy and also a sprinkling of uncertainty.
To rewind the clock (pun intended) a few years, the medieval Palace of Westminster or the Houses of Parliament as it is known was burned down in 1834 (that's another story). The epic rebuilding was undertaken by a guy called Charles Barry and in 1844, it was decided that it might be nice if a rather grand tower and clock were to be added to one end. To make life even more difficult it was also decided that the first stroke of the hour bell should register the time, correct to within 1 second per day and telegraph its performance twice a day to be recorded at the Greenwich Observatory. For this reason, clock makers were understandably reluctant to get involved and it was 10 years before a certain Edmund Becket Denison finally had his design completed.
The Palace of Westminster - Houses of Parliament
The bell or bells, were an entirely separate problem and Barry had specified that only a 14 ton hour bell would suffice. No one in Britain had ever cast a bell that large, but Denison (not known for his bell making skills) refused to be outdone and insisted on not only his own design for the great bell, but the recipe for the bell metal. Like the initial contract to design and make the clock, bell founders were not chomping at the bit to bid for the contract. Eventually it was made by John Warner & Sons at Stockton-on-Tees and not only did the bell end up being a whopping 16 tons, but it cracked upon being tested. The task of casting the bell, then fell upon the shoulders of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry and its master bellfounder, George Mears.
It took two weeks to break up the old bell, three furnaces to melt it down and once the mould had been filled with molten metal, took twenty days for it to solidify and cool. Transporting the bell (just shy of 14 tons) to Westminster was a major event. Traffic was stopped and sixteen horses dragged it through the streets which had been decorated and were lined with cheering crowds. It rang for the first time on the 31st May 1859 and it is at this point that the name 'Big Ben' first seeped in to public consciousness. It is said that as Parliament were trying to settle on a suitable name for the bell, Benjamin Hall, a large man, who was affectionately known as 'Big Ben' gave a rather long speech on the subject. At the end, someone shouted out "Why not call it Big Ben and have done with it?". It would appear, the name stuck.
Two months later 'Big Ben' cracked. The cause, is thought to be because Denison had used a hammer more than twice the weight specified by the more qualified George Mears. The bell was out of service for the next three years, a lighter hammer was fitted and the bell turned to present an undamaged section to the hammer, which still gives it the same (apparently) distinctive sound that we can hear today. Denison refused to accept responsibility for the mistake and blamed Mears. The whole saga ended in court ... twice and Denison lost on both occasions.
'Big Ben' seen from the north side of Westminster Bridge
However, the very famous nickname given to the bell is often disputed. Just the other day, a friend of mine said "So ... Big Ben ... who do you think it's named after?". He believes it was named after the Victorian bare knuckle boxer Ben Caunt, who as a rather large specimen and heavyweight champion, was known as 'Big Ben'.
Don't forget, you can still visit the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, where they offer tours and an insight in to their unique 500 year history.
Private Walks In June - 2013
I know we're already half way through July, but I thought I'd just post a little thing about some of the 'private walks' I did in June. Just in case you're wondering, I do my regular 'pay what you want' walks around London most weekends, but during the week I also do private tours for groups, families, couples, birthdays, work outings and that kind of thing. They're pretty much tailor made to each individual group, so I might meet them at their hotel, or at a station or somewhere-else and we explore London, based on what they want to see or their interests and stuff like that.
It would seem that in June, we spent a bit of time hanging around with the Queen's Guard at St James's Palace and Horse Guards. They're quite easy to hang around with as they tend to stand really, really still. The last photo is of Lisa and her family outside Buckingham Palace. Although you can't see any guards, there was actually hundreds of them passing by on horse back, as we stumbled in to the midst of the dress rehearsal for 'Trooping The Colour', the week before The Queen's official birthday. Since the restoration of King Charles II in 1660, these guys and now girls have been responsible for guarding the Royal palaces.
The Queen's Guard
We did do other things aside from taking photos with guards. I did a couple of walks around east London, which inevitably involves a bit of street art. Shyam was over on business from Canada and staying near Liverpool Street so wanted to explore around that area. You can see him next to Richard Rogers Lloyd's building which was finished in 1986 and was said to look like someone had dropped an oil rig in to the City of London. Despite the modern appearance of the building, the company themselves have a colourful 325 year history which can be traced back to a 17th century coffee house ... called Edward Lloyd's. Nazatul and her family are pictured in Trafalgar Square with Nelson's Column behind them.
The photos below show Penny Bond and her crew from Canada in St James's park and John and Susan on London Bridge. Kim and Ciera are standing by some 17th century waterman's steps, which now stand quite far from the Thames, but once was a gateway from the river to a mansion called York House, which belonged to George Villiers, the first Duke of Buckingham, who had the steps built ... hence the nearby Villiers Street. Mehul and Neha from the States are relaxing in one of Westminster Abbey's cloisters.
So, as you can see ... we managed to explore quite a bit of London.
Weekend Roundup - 6th / 7th July '13
I think that this weekend was pretty much the first consistently sunny weekend of walks I've had all year. If not ... then it certainly seems that way. So, for this reason, it was particularly nice to see Guglielmo and Zuzana again, who came on a walk at the beginning of the year, when the weather was rather different ... like this in fact:
This Saturday, they were joined by Anna Maria from Italy, Emre from Turkey, Sonal from Mumbai and Amanda from ... Leatherhead. Here they are next to the statue of Samuel Johnson's cat Hodge, which always provides a good spot for a photo.
By-the-way ... contrary to how the photo looks, Guglielmo is not a member of the SAS, but is sporting some rather funky sunglasses he found along the way.
In the afternoon, Emre did the afternoon walk as well and was joined by Ginni from the States, who had just arrived in London after spending a few days in the Cotswolds. Here they are on London Bridge, often confused with the more iconic Tower Bridge behind it. Funnily enough, the river Thames actually starts in the Cotswolds.
Sundays east London walk saw another 'repeat offender' as I call them, who was Caroline, back for her third walk with me and second jaunt around Old Street, Shoreditch, Hoxton and Spitalfields. Thinking about it, there was another member of the group who was doing their second walk with me, and that was Hendricks ... the dog. Weirdly, his owner Sarah ... had never been before. See if you can work that one out? Anyway ... unfortunately, Hendricks had a scheduled veterinary appointment (due to having a seed stuck down his ear) so had to leave early. Despite this, the rest of us, a group made up of Australians and Brazilians, carried on. Here they are in Bunhill Fields cemetery.
Most ridiculous sunglasses - Guglielmo
Most Brazilian - Rodrigo & Patricia
Most unsuitable coat - Hendricks
Veteran Bowl Of Chalker - Caroline
A special award for putting up with me for an entire day - Emre
Weekend Roundup - 29th/30th Jun '13
There's an area just south of Fleet Street known as Temple and comprises of two Inns of Court; Inner Temple and Middle Temple. During the week, the gates which lead down to the 12th century Temple Church and the maze of alleys buzzing with lawyers are open and you can just nip down and loose yourself amongst the streets and lanes. On weekends, as everyone has gone home, it's a bit trickier, but on Saturday morning, I was just mentioning this fact and a guy who happened to be passing said 'I have a key' and let us in ... which was nice of him. So, below is a photo of the group standing outside the round chapel to Temple Church.
Temple Church
On Saturday afternoons walk from St Paul's cathedral to Monument, we pass through Borough Market, which although now a busy food market (on Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays), has had its ups and downs in its 1000 year history. Paul and Elaine who joined us, actually used to live in the area 20 or so years ago when the market was on a down turn, and the area was used reasonably frequently for film locations. The buildings behind them were used the 'hideout' for two of the gangs in Guy Ritchie's 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels'.
Borough Market - 'Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels' film location
On Sunday I squeezed in two walks. The first with Mehul & Neha from the States. They were staying by Leicester Square in London's West End, so we spent a few hours wandering around Westminster, which has a plethora of sights, all within walking distance. I haven't been around that area on a Sunday for ages, and although Westminster Abbey is closed to 'visitors' for services on Sundays, we were able to pop in and see the beautiful cloisters and the quite incredible 13th century Chapter House. Here they are next to one of the cloisters.
In the afternoon, I met Josh, Janet, Robin, Oci and Alexis to explore a quite different area, around Spitalfields and Shoreditch in east London. It gets pretty busy on Sundays with the various markets going on, and we also discovered that the local residents from Arnold Circus, England's first council estate were having a bit of a get together. Here they are on the steps leading up to the centre of Arnold Circus.

The notion that we should blame Western foreign policy for terrorism (and I can't believe I am having to write this) is the worst of lazy, westerncentric narcissism - assuming that absolutely everything in the world revolves around us and what we do - irrespective of international and regional interventions by other political powers. Russia, Pakistan, China, India, Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh etc.
Yes, you can very easily argue that we have exacerbated the problems by creating spaces for it to flourish and gather resources and influence but at the same time there are always consequences for inaction. Syria shows us that you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. And while you can say that we have intervened and other actions have precipitated what is now happening, all of these tinpot regimes have been on a countdown to extinction for a very long time and will necessarily need a protracted reckoning in order to move on.
What we've done is park our forces in the middle of a wider inter-Islamic conflict. Islamists then leverage western action as propaganda - which means it is a pretext and a fig leaf for their murderous agenda. You can change your foreign policy accordingly but the propagandist will always find an excuse or be able to manufacture some other pretext. Prior to 9/11 the excuse was western support for Israel.
Unless you tackle the ideology at source you don't get anywhere close to solving that - and in that respect we can no longer afford for British Muslims/leftists to make excuses for Islamists by wagging the finger in our direction. There is no negotiated peace with Islamists. There is nothing they want that we can give them.
It is a suicidal mistake to believe that if only we'd left our tanks at home we would be safe. We are not dealing with a rational enemy. There are no territorial concessions we could make. All they want is our subservience or our deaths. The only real answer to this is to seek it out wherever it hides and destroy it. All I would add is that our efforts to fight it must be intelligent, measured and reserved otherwise we risk destroying ourselves in the process.
In this, a lot of us are sat here wondering what we can do about terrorism. In most instances we feel that it's something we have no control over and must leave to government. Most of us have no real contact with the "muslim community" (whatever that means) and so it becomes someone else's job. Except that there is one thing you can do.
Theresa May speaks of a "safe space" online where extremism can thrive. She may have some wrong-headed ideas on how to tackle that but there's one aspect we can all go after. Like I say, propagandists will invent just about any narrative to justify or excuse terrorism. The place they very often get it is from the lazy western self-hating post-patriotic left who continually promote the idea that everything the West does is evil and that somehow we are deserving of whatever fate awaits us.
One facet of this is the leftist feminist idea that somehow the Arab value system is more empowering for women. You can find such drivel on the pages of the Guardian every now and then. And then there's the classic foreign policy trope. These are all narratives that have taken hold because we are too cowardly to confront them. It's socially convenient not to have an argument and nobody wants to fall out with their friends over politics. This has since become dinner party liberalism where one is obliged to spout meaningless liberal dogma so as not to cause offence.
Well, now is the time to start falling out with friends and offending them. Now is the time to start calling out crap when you see it. Now is the time to stop letting lazy and intellectually warped ideas stand. Everything depends on this because the left have set about a system of manufacturing fig-leaves for the Jihadists who parrot our own leftist dogma back to us. Not for nothing do some of Osama Bin Laden's sermons sound much like a Guardian op-ed. They are aimed at weakening our resolve and questioning our own right to continue existing.
Tune into Channel 4 news after any terrorist attack and you'll find them interviewing British muslims in the street, some of whom will let slip one of this tiresome tropes about Western intervention. Where do you think they get it from? Not from a Jihadi John Youtube channel. They're getting it from our media, they're getting it from Facebook and they're getting it from celebrities. And why do celebs spout this crap? Well, because it's socially convenient and if you hold even moderately conservative views then your career is over.
Ultimately the left have the same goals as Islamsists. To destroy the west and install their own authoritarian regime we must all submit to. It's why you can always find the far left in bed with UK Islamists.
For too long now the left have held undue influence over public discourse and political correctness was always one of their favoured weapons. In doing so they have created the safe space for extremism to thrive and they have given terrorists all the excuses they need.
Over the years a few people who are very dear to me have broken off relationships with me because of the things I say. That is ultimately a consequence of saying what I think and it is that which has ultimately defined who I am. It limits my social options because I can't sit quietly and let people talk crap. It's not a nice place to be. But this has to be done. Every single one of us must play a part in defeating the corrosive ideas that make us vulnerable. That means destroying the modern left and making sure they are viewed not just with distaste, but disgust.
Our enemies have no demands we can acquiesce to. No amount of introspection can change the nature of our enemy. We are up against a murderous ideology. Though various voices have said that we need to tackle the ideology at source, going after various mosques and making demands of Saudi Arabia, leftist dogma is the WD40 that greases the wheels of Jihad. It's time to speak out against it - and that responsibility is yours and mine alone.


On Tuesday, April 9, 2013 our Seminary community had the honor and blessing to hear the practical wisdom and experience the calm presence of Fr. Theodore Petrides, the Greek Orthodox priest of Holy Cross Church in Stroudsburg, PA, as he spoke in two classes and at lunch.
At the invitation of Dr. David Ford, in the America and Orthodoxy course, Fr. Theodore spoke about his experiences growing up in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese in the 1960s and '70s, attending Holy Cross Seminary in the '80s, and serving as the parish priest in Stroudsburg for the past 17 years.
Then in the Parish Administration/Canon Law, Fr. Theodore spoke about how the canons of the Church have impacted his priestly ministry, and how he sees them as highly beneficial in pastoral ministry when their spirit is followed therapeutically on a case by case basis.
Then at lunch, at the invitation of our Interim Dean, Fr. Sergius, Fr. Theodore spoke about prayer as being "a mirror of the soul." He encouraged us to let God's light and truth illumine our inner being, to help us to see our sins more clearly and to be cleansed of them through forthright, thorough confession.
We thank Fr. Theodore for the wisdom he shared and for the grace of his presence among us, and we look forward to his next visit to St. Tikhon's.

We think Project Gutenberg is an interesting film about the printing of money... counterfeit money and stars in the film were nominated for best actress - Zhang Jingchu and best actor - Chow Yun-fat, Aaron Kwok awards.

Equally important, Zhang Jingchu's very much rumoured boyfriend did not show up to support her - high-powered business executive Wen Xin from the private sector.
Andy Lau - middle-aged uncle still needs to be Cool ok!


"Mr. Fishman's story — as a refugee, a seeker and an insatiable eater — is inherently compelling. But the book's brilliance lies in the author's self-awareness and honest appraisal of his, and his family's shortcomings. He writes from the perspective of someone who learned to be comfortable being uncomfortable in his own skin — someone with no secrets left to keep": The Wall Street Journal on Savage Feast.
"Perhaps it's no surprise, then, that the list of great recipe-plus books—memoir/novel-plus-recipes; recipes-plus-personal essays—is long and rich… And then there are the stories by writers-first-cooks-second that are just particularly well-illustrated through food": Vanity Fair singles out Savage Feast.

The Jewish News of Northern California on Savage Feast.
"Tonight, as a reward for finishing this piece, I plan to make Oksana's borsch, substituting celery root for parsnips, since that's what I found at the store. I can already tell you, in other words, that I won't follow the recipe. As Savage Feast renders in such beautiful terms, none of us do: It's as subject to revision as we are.": Paste Magazine on Savage Feast.
And another in Tablet (with a recipe, natch).
A Q+A with Deborah Kalb.
"Fishman skillfully avoids portraying Oksana, who has played a critical role in his life, as a matronly, obliging caregiver who exists for the purpose of serving his family. He depicts her with obvious affection and sensitivity, but also with some distance, perhaps as an acknowledgment of his lack of access to the inner life of a female migrant": The Los Angeles Review of Books on Savage Feast.

A robust unified identity management solution can help organizations meet most the requirements. Such a solution not only provides security controls to manage and constrain privileged user access to PCI DSS systems and data, but also helps reduce PCI scope and bolster mechanisms in anticipation of future PCI DSS changes.
The obstacle for many companies is figuring out what to do with privileged identity management (PIM) and acknowledging that these accounts often hold the "keys to the kingdom" and need to be treated accordingly. A big part of the challenge is simply the way we think about it.
There are more reasons than ever to understand how to protect your personal information. Here are 7 excellent tips to better safeguard your digital identity.
The rapid outbreak of cyber threats over the past few years has resulted in an abundance of events that promote faux experts and ineffective silver bullet solutions.
