Moving to Florida with your pet? Here's a look at the general requirements to keep in mind.
Within 10 days of departure, your veterinarian will need to issue a Health Certificate as required by all airlines. This certificate states that your pet is in good health and fit to fly.
Most states require that dogs have a rabies tag proving they have an up-to-date rabies vaccine. Usually pets must be re-vaccinated every three years.

The Stage 32 Blog
China Syndrome
Posted 7 years ago by Russell Buchanan
Richard "RB" Botto
Recently, I had the pleasure of speaking to about 200 film students at a college outside of California. Before the session started, I distributed a questionnaire. One of the questions listed was "What do you believe will be the biggest roadblock to your success in making it as a filmmaker?" Over 30% answered "Not being able to afford a move to Los Angeles."
I was surprised. Their instructors were floored. One of them mentioned that on the very first day of class he spends an hour destroying the "I need to be in Hollywood" myth. Another told me that a week of his curriculum is dedicated to discussing the global film market. Yet here was an auditorium filled with talented and well taught film students, many who already had it in their heads that they would never succeed simply because of what they perceived to be a geographical disadvantage.
Today's guest blogger is making it happen on the other side of the globe. Russell Buchanan is a filmmaker working in Bejing and Hong Kong. Cooler still, two of his closest confidants are a screenwriter and director who experienced success in the UK and LA respectively, and now make films in Asia.
I thank Russell for sharing his experiences with the Stage 32 community.
Living in Beijing for over five years now has opened my eyes to the possibilities available for foreigners like me who are trying to make their mark in the Chinese film and television industry, and believe me, it's big and boiling hot.
When I first arrived here I was approached by a leading film and TV production company, Taihu Media, about becoming involved in making a movie from a creative aspect that would suit a foreign audience. Unfortunately, I was a rookie in the way of doing business in China and that deal fell over because I refused to sign a contract written in Chinese, but it did open my eyes to how much China wanted to produce and sell content to a foreign market, America in particular, so I've stayed and boxed on.
Originally I come from an acting background, starting in Australia in the early 90's. I crossed over to production in 2002. Having toiled in that end of the industry for a while, I thought this was my golden opportunity to play with the big boys on the international scale of things. Meeting after meeting and dinner after dinner followed. I met a variety of people all interested in knowing how things work in the west. All these dinners and toasting the local 58% Bai Jiu alcohol was starting to take its toll, but this is the way business is done here. It's known in China as Guanxi, which translated means "having a relationship". Very time consuming, and bad for the liver, but a necessary evil.
All through this time I had been developing my own projects - a couple of screenplays - and working in public relations. Now I'm back working in front of the camera on TV commercials, TV series and last year worked on a feature film for the local market. This has allowed me to meet more people, gain more knowledge and bring me to where I am today, developing my first feature film in Asia.
In recent years the big boys have come to town; Dreamworks, Warner Bros and Walt Disney to mention a few. They have their eyes set on the huge potential China has for their productions. Currently, China has 13,000 cinemas and opening seven more per day as the audience grows along with the economy so I think I'm on the right track, place and time etc. James Cameron has set up shop just south of Beijing, and the thought is, if he's here, that's a positive sign. The Chinese love foreign films, but they love American movies. As a result, the government restricts how many foreign films can be screened here per year as they generally take in a lot more money at the box office than local films.

My Australian company registration, MMP Films, is now shifting to Hong Kong as I prepare to make my first indie action English language feature film One Night In Hong Kong. I not only wrote the screenplay, but I'm producing it, acting in it, and currently scouting locations. Needless to say, it's a busy time. Like all indie films, we are always looking for funding. The decision was made to do a 100 day crowdfunding campaign through Indiegogo to find the balance of the shooting budget.
Personally, I have been working on this project for two years and had to change the story location from Beijing to Hong Kong. But there is pressure to change other aspects of the story as well as we film just outside mainland China, where they have very conservative rules. For example, one element I won't change is the pivotal plot involving a Thai drug lord's money being laundered by Chinese through Hong Kong. The story is based on the real life drama of Thai drug lord, Jai Horkham, who is currently on trial in China for the murder of thirteen Chinese sailors on the Mekong River in 2011. So, as you might imagine, I'm on thin ice making this film and residing in Beijing. But this is the story I want to tell.
Hong Kong has a great film friendly scene with the local government allowing just about any freedom "within reason" even down to small or no fees to shoot in public. My film is about gangsters, so there's some degree of gunplay, the odd car chase, and chases down the back allies of Mongkok. Fortunately, after a meeting in Bejing, the local police are on board. They were all smiles and quite excited that we will have foreigners doing Kung Fu action and filming in their area of Tsim Sha Tsui (TST), Kowloon. Our first location find is a really cool rooftop bar named Where, an appropriate name because of its location, tucked away inside a building, very exclusive and hard to find. After a few beers on the house, the owners offered us a caf'e they also run, which fits perfectly with our requirements for another scene. One of those perfect things that happens sometimes when you prep a film.
The interest so far has been great and we hope to shoot the promo trailer in March. That's when the fun will truly begin as we pool our recourses and cash for
the ride of our lives. I have some top DOPs interested from Australia who live in Hong Kong (Ross Clarkson and Dean Head). Their work includes The Dark Knight and Expendables 2, so this is a great encouragement. We also have a veteran Hong Kong actor and Kung Fu Grandmaster, Chiu Chi Ling, interested in working with us. He appeared in the cult classic Kung Fu Hustle and just finished working with director Steven Chow again recently on Journey To The West. He has an enormous Asian following. Chiu is a great old friend of mine. He now runs all of his Kung Fu schools from San Francisco, where he's lived for over twenty years. Oh, and he grew up with Bruce Lee. He would be a tremendous asset to our production.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the talented minds I met on Stage 32 who live in Hong Kong and have lent guidance, support, and knowledge to my project: Lawrence Gray, an award winning television and film writer, Aaron Palermo, who had much success as a director and producer in Los Angeles, and Hanna San, who is an actress and drama teacher. We're constantly in communication, both on Stage 32 and in person.
One other person I recently met through Stage 32 is Tazito Parafuso Garcia from Canada. He's very interested in joining my team. He speaks Cantonese and has appeared in some HK films.
There are many other people in my Stage 32 network from around the globe who have offered guidance and support as well. And I thank all of them as well.
IT'S NOW OR NEVER
I suppose hearing all of this you might think it all sounds very cool, but working on a shoe-string budget, with a multi-year investment of time, and ongoing language and cultural barriers, it can all be a little daunting, not to mention weigh heavily on the family situation. My son was born in Sichuan and is my greatest inspiration to succeed. Luckily, I have made some great friendships here, and some very well connected contacts. Achieving something great is never easy even in your own country, like making a great movie, or any other creative project, if it was that easy, everyone would be doing it.
Many thanks for reading.
PS - We hope to be able to finish this film project by end of June and of course looking for distribution, if action movies are part of your requirements we are more than ready to talk a deal.
If you would like to know more about this adventure check out our website or Indiegogo Campaign for One Night In Hong Kong.

Roland Stock
A name change opened the way for a new brand for Roland Stock, a full-service Berks County law firm in Reading, Pa.
OUR RESEARCH — BERKS COUNTY LAW FIRM PR & MARKETING
Roland Stock, LLC is a full-service law firm in Berks County, Pennsylvania. The firm has a solid footing in an array of legal services — from business law, commercial finance, commercial litigation, construction law, and labor and employment to elder law, motor vehicle law, and personal injury and collections. Its lawyers were well-connected in the community, serving in a variety of roles with local and regional bar associations.Previously known as Roland & Schlegel, LLC, the firm, at the time of its name change, asked Furia Rubel for assistance with its Berks County law firm PR, strategic marketing , renaming, rebranding, and the design and implementation of a new brand, corporate collateral, and website.
OUR DELIVERABLES — BERKS COUNTY LAW FIRM PR & MARKETING
A brand is more than a logo and tagline. A brand is a representation of the promise of services the company or business entity consistently delivers on.
Therefore, Furia Rubel took a holistic approach to branding for Roland Stock. Logos and other artwork had to reflect the involved-in-the-community, comprehensive expertise that is Roland Stock.
A new logo incorporating the names Roland and Stock was developed, using impactful typography and alternating colors to add emphasis to both names. In addition, extensive research led to the launch of the firm's tagline, "Simplifying Complex Legal Matters™." And with the new tagline came the simple yet sophisticated origami images that visually convey how simple Roland Stock makes complicated matters.
These elements were rolled into a new website, one that is different from the off-the-shelf "brochure type" website clients had been using. The new site emphasizes the firm's commitment to the community and expertise in an array of areas, and was built with a client-controlled CMS so the firm could continually update the content. Throughout the creation of the new website, the firm's strategic objectives served as the foundation for the campaign to ensure that the new brand remained true to the firm's reputation while updating its look and feel.
Furia Rubel sought to differentiate Roland Stock from other area law firms by making its reputation for simplifying the legal process an integral part of the new brand campaign. This entailed integrating the tagline and imagery into all marketing in order for it to serve as an extension of the new brand via the new website.
According to Edwin Stock, managing partner, "Roland Stock is proud of its enhanced website. Our site's inviting navigation, wealth of information, and inspired graphics, designed by Furia Rubel, pair well with our redesigned logo and updated brand to convey Roland Stock's culture, capabilities, and superior reputation."
Furia Rubel took a holistic approach to branding for Roland Stock. Logos, letterhead, signage, business cards, and other collateral material had to reflect the involved-in-the-community, comprehensive expertise that is Roland Stock.

The San Diego office market closed its best quarter in five years, with $830 million amassed in 15 transactions. Out of the seven markets we looked at, San Diego's notable Q3 rise made for the third-highest average price per square foot and second-highest quarterly sales volume.
San Francisco remained California's priciest office market in Q3, although its average price per square foot dipped 9% from the previous quarter. Los Angeles office sales activity consisted of more than twice the number of deals closed in San Francisco, and amassed the highest individual market sales volume of the quarter. L.A. took the crown in terms of both dollar volume and amount of office square footage traded, though it came in second for average price per square foot.
Orange County and the Bay Area fared well and each wrapped up Q3 with per-square-foot averages of over $300.
Due to low office sales activity, no average price per square foot could be calculated for Sacramento and the Inland Empire office markets in Q3.
A total of 50 deals closed during this year's third quarter, amounting to $3 billion in sales. Looking at the largest transaction closed in each market, half of the top deals were single-asset transactions, and half were portfolios. Los Angeles is, once again, home to the largest deal of the quarter–Rockpoint Group's purchase of 5670 Wilshire. The second market in line is San Diego, with the $207 million sale of the DiamondView office tower in East Village. These two deals together raked in more capital than the top Q3 sales recorded in the Bay Area, Orange County, and San Francisco office markets, combined.
L.A. wrapped up Q3 with nearly $934 million in office sales, marking a 60% drop from the previous quarter, and a 55% decrease year-over-year. Even so, the Los Angeles office market was at the top of the list this past quarter, with the highest sales volume and the most square footage traded, out of the seven markets we researched.
In terms of average price per square foot, things have been looking up, as this L.A. office market metric has been on a steady upward trend throughout the year. Averaging $396 at the end of Q3 2017, the price per square foot was 28% higher than what it was in Q2. L.A. prices have seen significant fluctuations over the past five years and, although well below Q3 2016 numbers, this past quarter rested above the five-year average and was the second-best third quarter overall, surpassed only by Q3 2016.
Rockpoint Group paid the highest price for a California office property this past quarter, when it acquired the office building at 5670 Wilshire Blvd. from The Blackstone Group and Brookfield Office Properties. Rockpoint shelled out $215 million for the 27-story office and residential tower, which is home to tenants such as Citibank, Regus, Union Bank and the Hong Kong Tourism Board.
One of only three quarters in the past five years to post a sales volume above $700 million, Q3 2017 marked a 340% year-over-year increase and was the most active quarter of the past two years for the San Diego office market. Picking up the slack after a particularly slow Q2, the sales volume increased 18-fold, from $46 million to $830 million, amassed in 15 transactions of properties larger than 50,000 square feet.
Moreover, San Diego's office market wrapped up Q3 with the highest average price per square foot in five years. Resting at $358 per square foot, this past quarter's average is 42% higher than Q2's, and marked a 51% year-over-year increase. Q3 2017 was also the seventh consecutive quarter with an average price per square foot above $200.
San Diego's largest Q3 office sale concluded in September, when Boston-based DivcoWest closed on the $207 million purchase of Cruzan's DiamondView tower in the East Village. The 15-story, 305,255-square-foot Class A property was over 90% occupied at the time of sale.
The Bay Area office market closed Q3 2017 with a 51% drop in sales volume, compared to the previous quarter. With $638 million amassed in 10 transactions, this past quarter also marks a 57% year-over-year decrease. For an office market in which the past five-year quarterly sales volume averaged $1.3 billion, Q3 2017 marked a slump in activity second only to Q1 2016, when the tally amounted to $469 million.
The average price per square foot settled at $322 through September. While not the highest value recorded to date, it marks the sixth consecutive quarter during which this metric rested above the $300 mark. As with the Q3 2017 sales volume, the average price per square foot trend is on a downturn, according to data trailing 12 months—in Q3, the market registered a consistent 6% drop from the previous quarter, as well as year-over-year.
During this year's third quarter, 1.9 million square feet traded in office properties larger than 50,000 square feet, on an office market which sees an average of 4 million square feet transacted per quarter, according to data from the past five years.
Of the 10 transactions to close during Q3 2017, the biggest sale was recorded in August, when KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II completed the $155 million purchase of the Oakland City Center towers. The 367,357-square-foot downtown Oakland property includes two Class A office buildings, located at 505 14th Street and 1300 Clay Street, and was sold at 92% occupancy by Rubicon Point Partners and Canyon Capital Realty Advisors.
In terms of average price per square foot, the Orange County office market is looking up. With average prices resting at $348, Q3 2017 marked the sixth consecutive quarter to surpass $200 per square foot, and the first time since 2013 when this average topped the $300 mark. Q3 closed at 49% above Q2 values, and 22% higher year-over-year.
Over the past five years, both the number of transactions per quarter and the quarterly sales volumes, have fluctuated significantly. Therefore, although Q3 2017 closed with six recorded transactions totaling a sales volume of $369 million, it's been a solid quarter overall for the Orange County office market, and fundamentals are likely to rebound within the next 12 months. As is, 2017's Q3 sales volume has dropped 30% from the previous quarter and 11% year-over-year.
The biggest O.C. deal of the third quarter was the sale of La Palma's Centerpointe office park. A Greenlaw Partners and Westbrook Partners joint venture paid TA Associates Realty $106 million for the 10-building portfolio. The property includes over 321,000 square feet of office space in three mid-rise office buildings, six single-story R&D buildings, and one single-story retail strip center.
Quarterly dollar volume and amount of square footage traded have been slipping since Q4 2016. The San Francisco office market wrapped up 2017's third quarter with a sales volume of $282 million, which is a 63% drop from the previous quarter, and an 87% decrease year-over-year. Q3 2017 is the second-lowest quarter in five years in terms of sales volume, after Q3 2013, which amassed $278 million in sales.
Although Q3 2017 is the sixth consecutive quarter with a price-per-square-foot average above the $500 threshold, this metric has been dropping since Q3 2016— marking a 28% year-over-year decrease. Granted, 2016's third quarter averaged a five-year record-high price per square foot of $701, which carried through the fourth quarter, as well, before dipping below the $600 mark at the start of this year.
San Mateo office property trades in biggest deal of the quarter—Bridge Investment Group paid $82 million for the three-building Alameda de las Pulgas office campus. The seller was Blackstone affiliate Equity Office Properties Trust, which had owned the property since November 2016. LEED Gold-certified and located directly off Highway 92, the portfolio was 98% occupied at the time of sale.
Roughly 3.5 million square feet of office space were completed in Q3 across the seven California markets we analyzed and 11 million square feet are scheduled to come online during Q4. The better part of the forecasted office pipeline, approximately 7.3 million square feet, is concentrated in the San Francisco and Bay Area office markets. Among the largest soon-to-be-completed California office projects is the Salesforce Tower at 415 Mission Street, in San Francisco's District 9. The 61-story, 1.4 million-square-foot high-rise developed by Hines and Boston Properties is anchored by a 15-year, 714,000-square-foot lease with cloud computing giant Salesforce.com, which also secured naming rights for the building.
Orange County is home to California's other large-scale office project scheduled to come online in Q4—the 1.1 million-square-foot Five Point Gateway campus in Irvine, developed by Broadcom, is nearly complete. Most of the four-building campus is leased to Broadcom, FivePoint, and Lennar.

Strengths: Isaac's lengthy frame allow him to run very fluidly on the court, often filling up the wings on the fast break just like a guard would. He is very light on his feet, which creates great agility on the court.
His 7' 1" wingspan and 9' 1" reach allow him to not only make impact plays on rebound and defense, but give him an advantage around the rim offensively. Paired with his stellar footwork, he can turn into a cutting forward that can benefit from a lot of lobs and easy baskets through their offense.
His offensive skillset is a huge advantage while executing off the wing, because his ball handling is able to create different opportunities when he is closed out on. As a small forward, his ball handling will set him apart, as he is known for his crossover abilities.
His shot has shown consistency at times, but he should still be considered a streak shooter that can get hot. During game play, his isn't shy of pulling up and has a nice form when shooting off a pass.
Weaknesses: Just like many college athletes attempting to enter the NBA after their freshman campaign, Isaac certainly lacks physicality and strength on the court. While driving to lane, he is often bumped by other players, which moves him off course towards the basket.
While he does own tremendous ball handling skills for his size, his offensive game still needs to be polished. His jump shot does need to produce consistent results moving forward, while his post moves and moves around the paint need an improve touch.
On the defensive side, Isaac needs to work on his defensive discipline. He can often fall asleep off of his man and doesn't give 100 percent effort when battling against offensively talented players. His lack of strength is also a huge mismatch on the block, as other big men can score on him with ease.
With that lack of strength, his rebounding has truly suffered. During box out situations, big men often get better position on him and can force tip outs or coral rebound themselves.

Maybe it's my patriotic nature or maybe it's just that I love summer and all the food that comes along with it. The 4th of July is one of my absolute favorite holidays. Many years we have hosted parties and I start planning menus weeks in advance! And of course true to my nature, I always over do it and I end up spending like two day doing all the cooking and then we end up with tons of leftovers (that part is kind of on purpose…I love the leftovers for days!). This year we've had lots going on and so instead I will be helping my mom do the cooking at her house. If you are in charge of either doing the cooking this year or bringing along something to share, this Slow Cooker Corn on the Cob is a super simple choice that truly captures the spirit of summer cooking!
Is there anything better than that sweet crispy corn from the farm stand (or even the grocery store)? Besides cooking it up and biting into it while the melty butter dribbles down your chin! Childhood memories right there!
The slow cooker makes such easy work of corn on the cob. No worries about boiling water, making room on the grill or getting the timing just right. Just pop these in and set the slow cooker. Once they're done you can leave them on warm until it's time to eat!
And corn with your favorite fresh herbs? Just can't go wrong. This is your new perfect summer side for a holiday or any dinner! Too easy. What's on your menu this summer?
I used my 4 quart casserole crock for the corn but have also used a large 6 quart oval slow cooker as well.
Sounded really good so I tried this today with six ears: in my 6qt crockpot, on low for 4 hours then shut off until time to eat. What a waste! The flavor was good but the moisture drained out of all the kernels. Neither of us could finish one ear. One star for flavor but that's it.
Ah Mary, that stinks! I've made this so many times and even for large crowds and it's always turned out perfectly. I do make very sure that I have those foil packets wrapped up tight as noted so that none of the liquid or butter can escape. How long did it sit after turning off the slow cooker until dinner time?
What a best idea! And I've never tried dill on corn but why wouldn't it be awesome? I am definitely trying this, I'm on a corn rampage these days! Lovely photos!
Thanks! It's definitely corn season!! Can't get enough!


While the science behind skincare is making huge strides, it can be tricky to find a brand that teams a natural ethos with high tech ingredients. Enter: Novexpert, a cult French skincare brand that is both natural and cosmeceutical-based.
It was founded by Cyrille Telinge 11 years ago although the team behind it had already been working for almost 20 years in an independent research laboratory. All the products are Eco-Certified, biodegradable, hypoallergenic, vegan, and cruelty-free.
There are ranges to target the signs of ageing, revive parched skin, brighten skintone and more. The brand also boasts a number of patented ingredient including novaxyline, which contains brown algae to protect from free radicals and oxidative stress. Another key ingredient is Inca inchi oil, a vegetable-based oil full of omega 3,6,9 and Vitamins A and E.


Cabarita is a deliciously undeveloped beach town with nature reserves to the north and west and the Pacific Ocean to the east. The beach is renowned for its surf breaks and also has a unique frontage, with a pandanus-fringed walking path traversing its length behind the dunes. Come here for an old-school beach holiday, but don't be surprised if you also discover its glam side.
Ready to go? Get to the heart of Cabarita with one of Lonely Planet's in-depth, award-winning guidebooks.

New York City's Plan to Replace Boilers in the City
Plumbwell Services / Boilers / New York City's Plan to Replace Boilers in the City
Being involved in New York City's heating and cooling industry for more than 30 years, Plumbwell Services is deeply vested in helping residents and businesses in the NYC area receive the best heating and cooling products available, supported by our exemplary service and after-sale support. We love the city and its surrounding environs, and are committed to being an integral part of the city's landscape for some time to come.
So we wanted to focus this blog post on a NYC initiative that has been going on since 2008: namely, the PlaNYC campaign. In partnership with the Environmental Defense Fund, NYC's City Administration launched the PlaNYC campaign in 2008 to reduce air pollution in the city.
A major focus of the PlaNYC initiative has been to replace boilers in public and private buildings in the city. Since the initiative has been launched, over 6,000 boilers have been replaced in public and private buildings in NYC.
City estimates indicate that the new boilers likely will prevent 210 premature deaths and 540 hospitalizations each year.
Due to the added benefit of producing cleaner air, schools within NYC are a target of the PlaNYC campaign. Between now and 2030, there is a plan in place to upgrade more than 100 school boilers from no.4 heating oil boilers to new boilers that run on cleaner fuels. Other schools have no.6 oil boilers, which also will be replaced with boilers that run on cleaner fuel. The result will be less pollution in and around these schools – providing a safer, cleaner environment for students.
Plumbwell Services applauds the leadership of the NYC Administration, in their concerted efforts to improve the health and living conditions for all people in the city.
Do you have a boiler in need of repair or replacement? Call or schedule your service online today!

Their ambition today is appreciated at the magnificent Karnak Temple complex:

Academy & AwardsToggle openToggle close
Public Sector Communications Academy 2015
10th, 11th and 12th November - The Welcome Centre, Coventry
Challenge and Response: The future of public service communications
The future challenges for government communications, both local and central, are forged by the challenging times we live in. We are emerging from the deepest and longest recession in a generation so that the priority is to rebuild economic growth, where we will have to completely restructure all of our organisations and services. At the same time we face an ageing demographic and unprecedented explosion in digital reach, which is all conspiring to create a perfect storm at a local level. Put simply, public service communications must adapt or become obsolete.
Global and national issues such as the threat of terrorism, conflict and war fuelling the mass movement of peoples across borders, a diminution of public trust in some political processes and the rise of identity politics all add to the complexity of the environment in which we work.
That is why we bring central and local government together in this Academy. Our issues are interwoven. Government responses to global issues can have very local effects. Local responses, in turn, need to be both innovative and effective to drive real change and bring tangible improvements to people's lives.
Together, central and local communications professionals are developing some global, sector leading responses to these challenges. Our combined goal must be to create the best public service communications in the world.
In order to rise to the challenge we need to understand the emerging challenges, develop new skills, embrace disruptive technology and change the culture of public service professionals. But with diminishing budgets and scarce resources where is it best to focus our attention?
That is the theme of this year's Academy - Challenge and Response: the future of public service communications.
By attending the Academy you will hear from those leading change within our sector and help to define your own approach to meeting the challenges ahead.
We look forward to seeing you at Communications Academy 2015 in Coventry, 10 to 12 November.

Another week, another country. A real breakfast was included with the hotel but I had to wait a little bit for them to open. More hot highway riding today but with less traffic than yesterday. Linguistic note: I've noticed that some people here say things like "pedistes" and "comistes". I've heard that in Argentina as well. Normally the past tu or vos form would be "pediste" and "comiste". Perhaps it is a deformation of the vosotros (you plural in Spain) which would be "pedisteis" and "comisteis".
It was almost 4:30 when I got back on the road. I ran out of light pretty quickly but I still had 20 kilometers to go. I was hoping to find a camping spot in a wind turbine farm but most of the entrance points were guarded. I found one that wasn't but when I rode in with the bicycle I realized that there were cameras covering the area I would need to go through to get down to the shore of the lake. I got back on the bike and kept riding in the dark. I got a bunch of little insects in my eyes, some of them really hurt. I finally arrived in Rivas tired and pissed off and grabbed a cheap hospedaje. I feel like I'm back in Peru or Bolivia: lots of gringo calls, trash everywhere, rundown hospedaje, and the roads full of small cc motorcycles.
There are some characters in this town. When I went out for dinner I walked past a prostitute that may have been a man, or perhaps at one time she was a man, and she kept trying to get my attention by yelling "hello". Finally I broke out my best Mexican accent with a "tengo cara de gringo o qué pedo cabrona?" She got a kick out of that. On the way back I had to go past her again so I was in for more heckling.
Later on when I was sitting outside on the steps of the hospedaje a guy on a motorcycle stopped to chat. He was dead drunk. I'm surprised he had made it that far without crashing. He wanted to show me his license and insurance, then he offered to let me ride the motorcycle. I almost took him up on the offer just to get the keys away from him but it probably would have gotten ugly. I escaped back into the hospedaje. When I went to brush my teeth I discovered that someone had puked in the sink, the lady at the reception was no help so I went outside to brush them where I was accosted by yet another character who was really out of his mind, probably a pasta base smoker. At that point I went straight to bed to avoid any more drama.
The McDonalds in Liberia, Costa Rica has had their internet shut off for lack of payment. My meal was less than happy.
I feel like I'm back in Bolivia.

New Zealand tour of Australia 2015 »
Adelaide Test: Lyon decision had a massive impact on ...
Adelaide Test: Lyon decision had a massive impact on match
Tags: New Zealand tour of Australia 2015, New Zealand, Australia, Nathan Michael Lyon, Australia Vs New Zealand 3rd Test at Adelaide Oval, Nov 27- 01, 2015
Adelaide Test: Often, poor decisions are overrated, and exaggerated, being termed as a key reason behind a team's failure or bad performance.
Often, poor decisions are overrated, and exaggerated, being termed as a key reason behind a team's failure or bad performance. But, in case of the Nathan Lyon controversy, and the kind of influence it had on the Adelaide Test, one cannot but conclude that New Zealanders very indeed very unlucky. It is one of those rare occasions in cricket when one feels that one poor decision can indeed change the complexion of the game. When Lyon came into bat, the match was well-balanced. But, following the reprieve by the third umpire, Lyon went on to add 74 with Peter Nevill. And, it in a low scoring game, it was a decisive turning point.
While DRS has had its advantages, ever since being introduced, it has also been party to a number of howlers. Team India, after a bad experience with the technology in Sri Lanka a few years back, has refused to use the same whenever it is playing Test matches. And, while that is not a stand accept by the majority of the Test-playing nations, the latest gaffe will force victims like New Zealand to have a rethink on the use of the technology. At the same time, one must not victimise Nigel Llong, and try to understand the logic behind his bizarre decision so that such mistakes are avoided in the future.
Also, even as New Zealanders will be termed unlucky, it is also true that they had their own set of woes that led to the team's defeat at Adelaide, and with it they lost the series as well. Opening was a massive problem for the Kiwis both with the bat and the ball. Martin Guptill has been persisted with for years now, but he hasn't lived up to expectations. It is perhaps time they look beyond him, at least in Tests. As for Tom Latham, apart from a fifty he had nothing to show. With the openers failing to deliver constantly, New Zealand were always under pressure to deliver, and it hurt them in a big way, as they were always rebuilding after early losses.
The story wasn't too different with New Zealand's opening bowlers. A lot was expected of both Tim Southee and Trent Boult when they embarked on the Australian challenge. Their record proved that the duo had it in them to trouble the Aussie batsmen. But, whatever plans they had fell flat on their faces as the Australians dominated the fast bowling duo. Southee faced fitness issues, but even when he was fit, he couldn't run through the Aussie batting. Considering his experience, Southee was a big flop. On the other hand, Boult finished the series with a five-for, but it was too late. He needed to come up with such efforts earlier in the series.
If New Zealand look back at their performance in the series, they will rue the lack of team effort. With Southee and Boult struggling, one cannot really blame the other bowlers like Mark Craig and Doug Bracewell, for they aren't highly experienced bowlers. But, the same cannot be said of their batsmen, who were highly disappointing. If one takes away Kane Williamson's effort, no one was really consistent. Ross Taylor got a big double hundred, but he failed in the other knocks. Brendon McCullum also played a couple of breezy knocks, but wasn't impactul. BJ Watling too struggled. So New Zealand had a number of issues of their own, which led to their downfall.

Not sure you can get any easier! I mean really – I have never made ice cream before – strange but true – especially for someone who loves, loves, loves ice cream….
So necessity being the mother of invention and all that… I'm staying for the holiday xmas/new year break in a smallish country town in northern NSW and although they do have a pretty amazing health food store I couldn't buy the soy cream I needed to make the vegan pavlova I'm about to make… so I thought I'd whip up some ice cream instead.
My mother, who had no idea that you could make ice cream from coconut cream tasted it, she can be very hard to impress, the look of complete amazement on her face at just how divine this is – well that was priceless!
And so now of course I will be experimenting with other versions — chocolate will no doubt be starring some time soon!
Pour the coconut cream into a blender then add the sugar, vanilla bean seeds and the vanilla extract.
If not – never fear!
Just pour the creamy mixture into a freezer proof container – pop into the freezer for about an 45 minutes. When the mixture just begins to freeze – remove and give it a good stir with a whisk or a hand-held mixer.
Return to the freezer – wait again another 45 minutes or so and then repeat the whisking process.
Freeze. Depending on just how soft/hard you want your ice cream it can be ready in 2-3 hours.
This time around, as I had raspberries and pomegranates on hand, I used those, but I'm thinking chocolate sauce would also be lovely, some chopped nuts and a cherry on top!
The recipe I always used pre-vegan days was from Margaret Fulton. For those of you reading this who aren't Australian Margaret Fulton is an Australian Icon. She was a celebrity chef before there were celebrity chefs and almost every Australian household would have one of her cookbooks!
I remember as a child pouring over her recipes and it was probably where my love of cooking started. The photos of toffees, cakes and biscuits I found kind of fascinating!
This particular recipe I found in a cook book that was part of a Margaret Fulton series – Italian, French and Vegetarian. All very well used! I did wonder if Panforte was something I'd have to give up but like so many yummy recipes – it is easily converted! Just switch the honey for golden syrup instead! Works a treat!
Spread the hazelnuts on a baking tray and place under a pre-heated moderate grill until the skins split, shaking frequently.
Alternatively you could pop them on a baking tray and into a moderate oven (160°C) for approximately 10-15 minutes or so. Just keep an eye on them so they don't start to burn.
Remove the nuts from the heat and turn into a rough towel or old tea-towel and rub off the loose skins. Chop the hazelnuts coarsely – either by hand or in a food processor – not too fine!
Place the hazelnuts, almonds, mixed peel, cocoa powder, flour and spices in a large mixing bowl and stir through until thoroughly combined.
In a medium size saucepan place the sugar and golden syrup and heat gently until the sugar has melted and dissolved.
Boil gently until a little of the mixture forms a soft ball when dropped into a cup of cold water. Remove from the heat and stir in the dry ingredients.
Press the mixture into your lined tin- generally from 1cm – 1.5cm in thickness but of course that is up to you!
Remove from the tin and allow to cool on a wire rack. Peel off the lining paper. Allow to completely cool.
Full of nuts, spices, candied peel and chocolate – Panforte is the perfect partner to coffee.
It also makes a perfect gift – make up a batch – wrap in cellophane paper or pop into those gorgeous little gift boxes.
Whether for yourself or as a gift (maybe both) you can't go wrong really!
My first Vegan Xmas! And it's about 6 months since I 'went vegan'! I was vegetarian this time last year so a lot of the traditional food my family eats every year was ok then – Pavlova being one of them. But like everything I've found with transitioning to a vegan diet xmas food is just as easy – the difficult thing can be dealing with the opinions of family members about your 'diet'!
So, I've been doing some research and uncovering some scrumptious new meals I will be cooking up for Xmas day as well as 'veganising' some old favs – stay tuned!
This Tofu Roast is another gem I've come across in 'The Vegetrarian Adventure' by Karen Meyer. I've made a few little tweaks and have to say it's pretty darn good! I really had no idea how it would turn out but it's great.
You could serve it up with a vegan gravy but I decided this time to go with just a store bought mint sauce. So having done my test run and sharing it with you I'll be cooking this up for xmas day and see if I can tempt my family to try it – we'll see!
Heat the oil in a frypan and sauté the onions and celery for a couple of minutes, then add the mushrooms and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Combine the tofu, vegetables, flaxseed egg, tahini, nutritional yeast, bread crumbs, salt and cracked pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Pile this into a lightly greased casserole or loaf tin. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top and bake in a moderate oven for 1 hour until the roast is solid but not dry.
This roast is perfect served with Roast Veggies – see previous post of Roast Veggies inspiration.
In a small bowl, mix the flour with about 2 cups of vegetable stock until well dissolved. Once dissolved, add the remaining broth and mix. Set aside.
Sauté the onion in oil for about 5 minutes, until translucent – add mushrooms, garlic, thyme, sage, salt and pepper and sauté for about 5 more minutes.
Add wine and turn heat up to bring to a boil. Let wine reduce for about 3 minutes. Add the broth/flour mix and the nutritional yeast, if using. Lower heat to medium and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring often.
This slice really has it all! Quite the bees knees really!
AND at the risk of repeating myself – its yummy!
Pop the dates and the water in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer for approximately 10 minutes. The dates will break down and become a paste. You can use a wooden spoon to help this process along if needed.
Add the wet ingredients with the date paste to the dry ingredients and stir through until fully combined.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Finish cooling on wire rack. Once completely cool slice into either finger length slices, or you could have smaller mouthful chunks – whatever takes your fancy!
The basis for this recipe came from a dusty old cookbook I came across called The Artful Vegetarian by Karen Meyer. It was printed in 1988. Karen also wrote The Vegetarian Adventure – another of her books I found in a 2nd hand shop. I've made quite a few additions to the original recipe but the basic inspiration is Karen's. Many of the recipes in her books are vegan or can easily be converted.
I love coming across out of print books like this one – a real treasure trove of food inspiration!
It's one of the best combos ever – corn chips, avocado, tomatoes, lime, coriander… really it's the dream combo.
And it has to be of the easiest of meals to put together – you can be sitting down with a scrummy supper in under ½ hour!
Spread half the corn chips into a medium shallow baking dish – if you are using cheese you can sprinkle some (half) on now with half the bean mixture. Top with the remaining corn chips, remaining cheese and the remaining bean mixture. Pop into the oven and cook for 10 minutes.
While that's bubbling away combine the tomato and avocado in a medium bowl and add the lime juice.
Remove the nachos from the oven.
Plate up the nachos and top with the salad mix (lettuce and grated carrot) Sprinkle a little finely chopped coriander on top.
Hey presto! Super easy, super yummy! Perfect for a Friday, Saturday or any night supper!
Serves approx 6 or 4 very hungry folk!
Is it possible that I have died and gone to muffin heaven? Or that I've reached some kind of muffin nirvana!?! Well temporarily anyway!
My goodness – these little darlings are really quite perfect – the smell, the way they look and then of course mmmnn the taste… from the first bite I knew. Maybe they can be renamed – Love At First Bite Muffins… Heehee!
With a little light dusted sprinkling of icing sugar the romance was complete… raspberry dreams….
If you would like to have toasted coconut to grace the top of your muffins (optional but recommended) In a heavy based fry pan – very gently toast the 2 tablespoons shredded coconut – it will only take a couple of minutes – set aside.
Dry ingredients – in a large mixing bowl sift your flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Then add the almond meal and the shredded coconut. Mix until combined.
In another bowl gently whisk together the oil and soy milk.
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients. Add the oil and soy milk mixture and gently combine.
Lastly add the berries and stir through only a couple of times. Less is more with muffins!
Spoon this mixture into the prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle the toasted coconut on top of each muffin.
Baking time will vary – 20-25 minutes. Check at 20 minutes. Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing onto a wire rack to finish cooling.

High quality early childhood education is one of the best investments our country can make.
Students in Ashlawn Elementary School, Virginia, show their teacher they are ready to learn!
Research shows that providing a high-quality education for children before they turn five yields significant medium- and long-term benefits for students. Children in early childhood education programs are:
less likely to repeat a grade
less likely to be identified as having special needs
more prepared academically for later grades
more likely to graduate from high school
higher earners in the workforce.
But providing high-quality education for young children is also about racial and social justice. Access to effective, diverse programs breaks down structural barriers that have prevented all children–particularly children of color and children from disadvantaged families–from achieving their full potential.
That is why NEA is proud to join 15 national organizations in releasing the Unifying Framework for the Early Childhood Education Profession. For the first time ever, early childhood educators (ECEs) have collectively and clearly defined the standards, qualifications, roles, supports, and compensation for members of their profession working with children birth through age 8.
The Unifying Framework for Early Childhood Education simultaneously calls for significant increases in federal and state investments in the early care and education system to ensure that young children, families, and communities are well-served by an effective, equitable, diverse, well-prepared, and well-compensated profession.
Each recommendation has been crafted through a lens of reducing the impact of structural barriers such as institutional racism, sexism, and classism to ensure that the profession honors the current workforce across all settings and reflects the diversity of the young children it serves.
Building on Our History
NEA has long advocated for access to early childhood education programs for students and for supporting the professional growth of early childhood educators. We have called for:
Free, publicly funded, quality kindergarten programs in all states.
Mandatory full-day kindergarten.
Optional free, publicly funded, quality "universal" pre-kindergarten programs for all three- and four-year-old children whose parents choose to enroll them.
Federal funds to make pre-kindergarten programs available for all three- and four-year-old children from disadvantaged families. State and local governments should provide the additional funds necessary to make pre-kindergarten available for all three- and four-year old children.
Dedicated funding for early childhood education. Public schools should be the primary provider of pre-kindergarten programs, and additional funding must be allocated to finance them in the same manner as K-12 schools.

The DJ team was honored to have been invited to the Queen of England's 90th birthday party at the British Consulate of Jeddah.
The remarkable event reflected the festivities and the cheerfulness of the occasion especially with bagpipe tunes echoing across the entire place. The consulate's yard harbored English made cars like the Jaguar and the Rolls Royce. Showcasing the cars is a tradition done every year to highlight the top notch quality of the English manufactured vehicles.
Consulate General, Mohammad Shawkat, then took the stage for a short speech about the celebration. He thanked the audience and promised them a wonderful night, a promise that was in deed delivered. He also announced that this would be his last year in Jeddah and that he would miss the city with all its hustle and bustle. He was then followed by the British ambassador, Simon Collis, who made a speech in both Arabic and English honoring the Queen and celebrating Shakespeare's 400th birthday.
The night also featured a lot of young students displaying their talents in singing and acting. First off, students from the British School angelically sang the national anthems of England and Saudi.
Then students from Jeddah Prep School performed a little sketch in honor of Shakespeare's birthday where they recited a lot of his famous quotes adding their own twists to them.
That was then trailed by the cake cutting ceremony, which marked the beginning of dinner. Guests were led into an air-conditioned tent where dinner buffets were served.
DJ was elated at being invited to this amazing event. Happy Birthday Queen.

Retro Reviews – Thief: Deadly Shadows
February 1, 2018 February 2, 2018 by Paul Linus
Thief: Deadly Shadows puts the player in the shoes of Garrett, a master thief. They will use a combination of stealth tactics and gadgets to sneak through middle-age-inspired buildings, avoiding or neutralizing guards as they search for treasure.
Thief offers open level structure, as well as introducing access to "the City" between missions. The City gives the player an opportunity to pick pockets, obtain supplies and search for side-missions.
Thief: DS is a first- and third-person shooter-style game, although the focus is on movement rather than combat. The game takes place completely at night, to facilitate the thieving of goods. You control Garrett as you move around levels, avoiding guards and brightly-lit areas and favoring shadows. Each level has certain goals you have to meet, which change depending on the difficulty you are playing on. Typically, you have to steal a specific item, some other rare item, and a certain amount of more common loot. Loot can be anything from silver candlesticks to stacks of coins, and is scattered throughout the levels.
While Thief: DS focuses on stealth, combat can and does happen. Your repertoire of gadgets includes, to start out, a dagger, a blackjack and a bow. The blackjack is excellent for ending fights before they occur, as a single blow will concuss any guard that is unaware of your presence, provided you strike from behind. The dagger (and later, a sword) allow you to go toe-to-toe with alert and heavily armed guards.
Thief: DS's combat system itself is unsophisticated, typically involving a lot of dodging and simple attacks. Garrett is admittedly not a soldier, and so you can expect difficulty when fighting against trained guards and military personnel.
Other gadgets include flash bombs, which are great for distracting alerted guards and escaping, and special types of arrows. Such arrows include water arrows, which will douse exposed flames such as torches, noisemaker arrows, which distract guards, and simple broadhead arrows, which can be used to combat your foes from a distance.
Thief: Deadly Shadows follows the examples of earlier Thief games in the use of audio cues between player and AI. There is no ambient music present, and so the player is able to carefully listen to their own footsteps, as well as those of other characters. Excessive noise made by the player will attract guards, who will investigate such noises carefully. The player must monitor their sounds, and creep accordingly in various situations.
Different surfaces will make differing amounts of sound as the player walks across them. Hard wood and stone floors will produce more noise than carpet or grass, and so the player should be aware of what they are walking on. The speed also effects the level of noise produced. Garrett can run or walk, either crouching or standing. Walking while crouched is extremely quiet, but also very slow.
Thief: DS's dependance on sound couldn't be accomplished without good audio programming, and players will find themselves using audio cues very regularly throughout the game. With a decent pair of headphones, the game's audio really shines, as players can actually detect the direction and approximate distance of enemy footsteps.

Groups Sue Seeking Court Oversight Of Chicago Police Reforms
By Michael Tarm, AP Legal Affairs Writer
June 14, 2017, 10:39 a.m. CT

Several leading community groups, including a local Black Lives Matter organization, filed a class-action lawsuit against Chicago on Wednesday in a bid to bypass or even scuttle a draft agreement between the city and the U.S. Department of Justice that seeks to reform the nation's second largest police force without federal court oversight.
The 132-page lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago argues that an overhaul of Chicago's 12,000-officer force in the wake of a damning civil rights report in January can't work without the intense scrutiny of a court-appointed monitor answerable to a judge.
"Absent federal court supervision, nothing will improve," the lawsuit says.
The civil litigation is also a signal that longtime advocates of far-reaching police reforms don't trust President Donald Trump's administration.
While Trump's attorney general, Jeff Sessions, has expressed skepticism about court involvement, President Barack Obama's administration saw it as vital to successful reforms. Obama's Justice Department typically took a city reform plan to a judge to make it legally binding in the form of a consent decree.
The lawsuit filed on behalf of seven groups and six individuals asks for a court to intervene to end what the plaintiffs describe as "abusive policies and practices undergirding the alleged constitutional and state law violations."
Mayor Rahm Emanuel's administration said earlier this month that a draft deal negotiated by the city and the Justice Department — one that foresees a monitor not selected by a court — is being reviewed in Washington.
Craig Futterman, a University of Chicago law professor and one of the more than a dozen plaintiff attorneys involved in the legal action, said reports about the draft agreement — which he called "a backroom deal without any teeth" — influenced the decision to sue now.
"This is the community stepping up when the government refuses to act and when it has long been clear that the city is incapable of acting on its own," he said.
Emanuel's chief city lawyer, Edward Siskel, said Chicago officials would have preferred court oversight but were left little choice because the Trump administration didn't favor it.
"We wish the Department of Justice would have followed through with their commitment to a consent decree — but we are not there," he told reporters Wednesday. He contended that reforms outside of court supervision had "a proven track record of success."
Futterman said the city does have a choice now that the lawsuit is filed: Emanuel could give up on the Justice Department altogether and decide to hammer out a court-enforced reform plan with the groups that are suing.
Even if the city sticks with the Justice Department, the judge presiding over the new lawsuit could side with the community groups and mandate reforms via a court order.
"This is a real test for the mayor as to whether he is truly committed to police reform in Chicago," Futterman said.
Before Trump's inauguration in January, the Justice Department issued a scathing 161-page report that found deep-rooted civil rights violations by Chicago police, including racial bias, excessive use of force and a "pervasive cover-up culture" among officers. Emanuel committed to a consent decree in a joint statement with Justice Department officials at the time.
The Justice Department launched its civil rights investigation in 2015 after the release of police dashboard camera video showing a white officer shooting a black teenager, Laquan McDonald, 16 times. The video of McDonald's 2014 death prompted protests and demands for sweeping reforms. The officer who shot the 17-year-old was charged with first-degree murder and is awaiting trial.
Since then, Emanuel has said repeatedly that Chicago will push ahead with reforms, no matter what. His administration has established a new police oversight agency and adopted other practices to hold officers accountable.
Addressing reporters Wednesday, Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson also cited the decision to fit all patrol officers with body cameras.
"I'm not a lawyer, so I won't speak about the litigation," he said. "I'm just a cop trying to make this police department better."
Using lawsuits to prompt overhauls of police departments is rare. A lawsuit filed by community groups in Cincinnati in 2001 did play a central role in kick-starting police reforms that eventually were overseen by a federal court.
Chicago officials point to Washington, D.C., as a city that enacted successful police reforms without a judge. But another plaintiff attorney in the Chicago case, Sheila Bedi, said successful reforms without court scrutiny are "very, very rare." Only judges, free of political pressure, can rule that police aren't complying with agreed-to reforms and force them to do so, Bedi said.
The Chicago Police Department is the largest in the U.S. to be investigated by the Justice Department, so court-enforced reforms could end up costing the city more than a deal cut with Trump's administration.
But Andrew Stroth, another plaintiff attorney, said a police force with deeply engrained problems that aren't fixed will see more unjustified shootings and more lawsuits that cost city taxpayers. According to the lawsuit, more than 1,600 people have been shot by Chicago police since 1996, more than 90 percent of them black. And lawsuits that alleged police abuses have cost Chicago more than $640 million on settlements.
"Chicago will save money and save lives by having federal judicial oversight," Stroth said.

Family of Thakurganj Movie Review and Rating | Jimmy Sheirgill, Saurabh Shukla
July 19, 2019 by Akshay Varma
"Family Of Thakurganj" is an Indian, Hindi-language, drama film which has been released on the big screen today. The film is set in the small town of Thakurganj. It is directed by Manoj K. Jha while the production of the film is done by Ajay Kumar Singh. The film stars Jimmy Sheirgill and Mahie Gill and describes the impact of modern society on traditional values in a typical family.
The story of the film revolves around two brothers, Nunnu (Jimmy Sheirgill) and Munnu (Nandish Singh), who live in a small town in Uttar Pradesh named Thakurganj. Both the brothers have different values inculcated in them. While one takes the law into his hands, the other one is sincere and abides by the law.
One day, suddenly the death knocks the door of their father and he leaves the world forever. After that, Nunnu takes responsibility for the whole family on his shoulders. He also runs the business with his wife named Sharbati (Mahie Gill). In a very short span of time, he becomes a famous goon in Thakurganj and comes to be known as "Bhaiya Ji" by the people of the town.
Their life takes a U-turn when the presence of brutality all around the town starts influencing their personal lives.
To deal with this critical situation while having different ideologies in life, will both brothers distant themselves or stand together against the injustice they suffer? That is something you will come to know only after you watch the film!!
Review Of Family of Thakurganj
The concept of the very powerful and interesting yet the screenplay makes it feel like an average film. There are many good scenes in the film, but the director fails to keep them together. Some comedy scenes in the movie make you laugh. Though, most the comedy of error scenes fails to make you laugh even after trying to tickle you with the background score.
The actors starting from Jimmy Sheirgill, Mahie Gill, Saurabh Shukla, Sudhir Pandey, Supriya Pilgaonkar to Pavan Malhotra have done a good job. But it is the plot that makes them look like bad performers. However, the actors will entertain you in bits and pieces. Saurabh Shukla has delivered a great performance as always. Jimmy Sheirgill was also impressive.
If we talk about the movie overall, it's not at all an appealing drama. The story is too average and the plot is quite weak. Also, the film's length and humor are troublesome. Had the director put more focus on the story, he would surely have been successful in creating more audience.
My Rating: 2.25/5
Here is the trailer of the movie which you can check out before going to watch the movie.
Ok, thank you all for checking out my review. Also, do let me know how much you liked the film by writing in the comments section below and while you are down there, also let us know how many stars out of 5 do you rate this film. Thank you for visiting our site.

Beam Reach spring 2011 begins!
Wow, just a few minutes into the first discussion on Monday morning, Kelsey saw killer whales out the window at Lime Kiln State Park. This was a very, very unlikely observation. With such a good omen, I know that we will see and learn much from orcas this spring.
Looks colorful at least, wouldn't you agree?
Here,in the center, I got the correct definition. Check it out.
It looks a bit like a blue outlined blobby orca, don't you think? In any case it is right!
Beam Reach has made quite a contribution at the Paris 2008 Acoustics Conference. Jason's report on his elephant footfalls was well received on Monday with his work on new census techniques fitting in well with the many talks on marine acoustics survey techniques. My talk on documenting 'communication' between a calf and its mom/brother elicited some good questions and much conversation on just what is conversation anyway afterwards in the halls and at lunch. And Kenna brought Zipf's slope to the attention of the marine mammal community and she did an excellent job of both presenting and answering the large number of questions that her talk elicited. People came up to me afterwards and said "is she really an undergraduate?
I have talked about Beam Reach with many acousticians here and the 100 or so people in attendance of the marine mammal sessions certainly have seen Beam Reach returning research results to the community. I know that this will enhance the program and I hope that the word about what Beam Reach can accomplish spreads to draw in excited and qualified applicants in tthe future.
Sunday, Gato Verde docked at the FHL docks and the crew swap began. Lots of students headed toward showers and a bit of distance and 5 eager souls brought loads and loads of food on board. We motored a bit south and anchored in Griffin Bay. That night a 'heavy breather' seal entertained us. We listened through two hydrophones and Ash and Sam showed there acuity in accurately determining the bearing of the sounds of objects thrown in various directions. The night was calm and the sunrise elegant.
Where are the whales? We did not know so we talked about methods and then set up a whale pass-by. This was done by putting the underwater speaker in the dinghy and anchoring the dinghy in a little bay on the south side of Lopez. We deployed the array and the high frequency hydrophone and drove around observing the stationary "dinghy-orca". Then I drove the dinghy at high speed to generate some boat noise. Todd calmly told me on the radio that I should pull up the dinghy's anchor before taking off. This neat thought came to me as I was zipping along at ~20 kts, anchor flying behind me! It will be good to see just what it takes to 'analyze' these data.
Today, Sept. 11, began with long discussions of lots of important 'stuff' and mid-morning we set off. Since we didn't know where the whales were, we let the current draw us toward the sea (Straits of Juan de Fuca). It turned out that Alex's suggestion that we go toward Race Rocks was prescient. By afternoon, we got reports of J, K, and L pods incoming west of Victoria. Tim and Ann configured a 3-d array by attaching the 'high-frequency' hydrophone below the array and everyone worked to get everything in the water and connected to the various computers and recorders. Cameras and protractors and note papers and range-finder were limbered up and THEN, the orcas came. They were spread out and not vocalizing. Later, as we approached San Juan Island, just south of the Lighthouse, vocals began and lots and lots of files were recorded and observations. It will be a huge effort to make any sense of this.
Spent morning measuring source level of Gato Verde main generator. Around noon, started transit to Snug Harbor, looking for KW en route. Sighted some harbor porpoises in Haro Strait on run downwind under screecher.
This morning, Jason and I showed a number of our research interests and interspersed these with various demonstrations and class activities. It was fun to watch you students sitting with your heads down on your desks and raising your hand when I dropped the audio frequency going into our speakers down below about 19 kHz and putting your hands back down when the frequency went up a bit. All this was far, far above anything I could hear. I know you all can hear very, very well. This bodes well for the course!
I hope that Dr. Stern (our expected evening speaker on Minke whales) got back safely from the sea after his vessels motor failed.
See you tomorrow — let's cool off!
Scott's second baby of the month is born and thriving. Cora was born on August 10th and is such a sweet little baby! And now, Beam Reach is one week old and seems also to be vital and thriving. Congratulations, Scott.
And congratulations to Jason and Donna for such elegant and successful directing of this first week of Beam Reach.
Beam Reachers! I sense your energy and drive — it just exudes. You are launched into a unique intellectual and experiential adventure.
