Those who do not live in Scotland may be unaware that this YES sign indicates an affirmative response to the question "Should Scotland be an independent country?".
In a referendum to be held on 18 September 2014 this issue will be decided by those who are registered to vote in Scotland.
In my view, the underlying belief of those on the YES side is that it is right and proper for a nation to aspire to govern itself, that it may experience difficulties in doing so but in working through those difficulties it will develop the maturity required to hold its head high in the community of nations. The YES side believes that now is the time to "grasp the thistle".
The NO side appears to hold the view either (i) that a 'mature nation' status is not worth working for or (ii) that, while it might be desirable to become a mature nation, the inevitable difficulties could not be overcome.
I listened live to the 2 hours and 40 minutes of this parliamentary debate and thought that Mike Russell's ten minute winding-up speech (transcript below) characterised by its positive approach, exemplified that contrast with the negative approach of his opponents during that debate.
THE PARLIAMENT OF SCOTS (12 AUGUST 2014)
DEBATE ON THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES OF INDEPENDENCE
WINDING UP SPEECH FROM MIKE RUSSELL
Official report:-
The Deputy Presiding Officer:
Thank you. I call Michael Russell to wind up the debate. Cabinet secretary, you have until 5 o’clock.
16:49
The Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning (Michael Russell):
Let me give the chamber a revelation: I think that on the evidence of this afternoon’s debate there are no votes in this chamber that are up for grabs in the referendum and that it is pretty clear that there are no undecideds on these benches.
However, there might be some undecideds watching at home. I suspect that they might well have turned off by now, particularly after Jenny Marra’s speech, but if they are still watching I suggest to them that, if they are trying to come to a judgment on the basis of this debate—there are people in the gallery who might want to make such a judgment—they should do so on the basis of what has been the positive view and what has been the negative view.
Look at the positive view that all my colleagues in the chamber have expressed and at the endless, destructive negativity that we have heard from Labour, the Liberals and the Tories.
I will start with the clearest view of the currency issue. As ever, the First Minister got it right in the chamber last week. I will repeat his exact words. He said:
“It is our pound, and we are keeping it.”
There are no ifs and no buts. That is the guarantee. That is plan A to Z. For the benefit of those who are still trying to frighten people out of what is theirs—people such as Mr Henry, who asserted that Scots will not be able to buy food or go on holiday after independence, and Mr Fraser, who tellingly referred—
Hugh Henry:
Will the cabinet secretary take an intervention?
Michael Russell:
No, I will not. I am sorry; one contribution from Mr Henry in an afternoon is more than enough.
Mr Fraser referred to the currency belonging to someone else, which was very interesting. I will repeat what the First Minister said so that there can be no doubt. He said:
“It is our pound, and we are keeping it.”—[Official Report, 7 August 2014; c 33159.]
Hugh Henry:
On a point of order, Presiding Officer. Mr Russell has just made a statement in which he attributed words to me that I did not say. Is it in order for members to fabricate words that were not said during the debate and attribute them to other members? [Interruption.]
The Deputy Presiding Officer:
Order, please. What members say in their speeches is entirely up to them. It is not for me to decide what they should and should not say. However, the Official Report undoubtedly shows every word that has been said in the chamber.
Michael Russell:
I am sure that Mr Henry will reflect on that when he looks at what he has said about me and my writings. I am sure that he will think about that carefully. Mr Henry’s words speak for themselves, as does his depressing demeanour.
The debate has been one of great contrasts. I go back to positivity and negativity. My friend Mr Swinney talked about ambition, achievement, resources, potential and raising the eyes of Scotland to what can be achieved. In my area of special interest, he talked about the need for transformative childcare and the world-leading position of Scottish higher education. What was the result? [Interruption.]
The Deputy Presiding Officer:
Order, please.
Michael Russell:
The result was that, 10 minutes in, Mr Rennie gave the knee-jerk plan B its first outing. Mr Brown then leapt back in. Project fear was in there working hard.
The other side of the unionist coin then showed itself. It was quite stunning. Alex Johnstone chuntered on from a sedentary position about the fact that everything that was mentioned was a product of the wonderful union, but he was interrupted by Jenny Marra, who said that everything was the result of the failed SNP. There we have it: that is a contrast. Labour hates the SNP more than anybody else, and the Tories love the union more than anything else. Neither of those is a prescription for a safe future.
Believing that a Labour Government will remove weapons of mass destruction is also not a prescription for a safe future. There is no evidence for that whatsoever. How else are we to get rid of weapons of mass destruction, except by independence? That is the reality.
It was telling that, when Mr Swinney mentioned Trident and what we need to do, the reaction from Labour and the Tories and even from the sole Lib Dem who was there was derision. They want to put bombs before bairns and Trident before teachers. That is their shame.
Let me carry on.
Neil Bibby (West Scotland) (Lab):
Will the cabinet secretary take an intervention?
Michael Russell:
No, I will not take an intervention. I am sorry.
The reality of the debate was shown clearly. It was about that negative view. Nothing could be done. We had to ask what that was about. Maureen Watt got it 100 per cent right. She analysed the debate early on. The great fear that exists in project fear is the could-should-must progression. If any member on the Labour benches could admit that Scotland could be independent—I will come to Elaine Murray in a moment, as she did that momentarily—the whole fantasy will collapse.
The reason why it collapses is that that leads to the argument that Scotland should be independent, which is the argument that my colleagues made this afternoon. It goes a step further to the argument that Scotland must be independent.
The biggest illustration of that was given by Malcolm Chisholm. Yet again, I was saddened by a speech by Malcolm Chisholm. I have admiration and time for Malcolm Chisholm; he is laughing, but I do. I do not think that he and I differ very much in some of the things that we want to see, but here is the difference. [Interruption.]
The Presiding Officer (Tricia Marwick):
Order.
Michael Russell:
Labour members want to laugh at this, because it is beginning to strike home.
The difference is that I and my colleagues have a plan for how to achieve those things. We know how poverty can be eliminated in Scotland. We know—
Iain Gray:
Will the minister give way?
Michael Russell:
No—I want to finish my point.
I know that it is annoying to Iain Gray, but the truth of the matter is that it is possible to have a plan to change Scotland and to do those things. We can set out with those intentions and we can work hard to meet them, or we can—as Labour members would have us do—simply keep our fingers crossed that we get a Labour Government that could possibly pursue the things that they want to see in Scotland rather than the things that Ed Balls and Miliband want to see south of the border. I say to Malcolm Chisholm that that is not a plan: that is keeping your fingers crossed and putting party before principle.
Malcolm Chisholm:
The cabinet secretary may have a plan, but the whole point of all the Labour speeches has been to point out that it is not a plan that can be delivered without an economic foundation. Before he gives us any more claptrap about the negativity of Labour members, will he reflect on the fact that by far the biggest and most disgraceful scare of the referendum campaign is what the yes side is saying about the NHS? [Interruption.]
The Presiding Officer:
Order! Order!
Michael Russell:
How interesting. Mr Chisholm is being wildly applauded by Jackson Carlaw, who—
The Presiding Officer:
Sit down, Mr Russell.
That is quite enough. There is far too much heckling and far too much noise. The minister is speaking, so allow him to do so. This is a Parliament; it is not a public meeting or a hustings. There are people in Scotland who are listening to the debate. Make it worthy of them.
Michael Russell:
Why was Jackson Carlaw—the person who got so agitated about the issue of the NHS last week—applauding so much? Because we have hit the nail on the head. If the financial power lies outside Scotland, the decision on the priorities of Scotland and how to deliver those priorities will always lie outside Scotland, too. For every £100 by which expenditure is reduced south of the border through privatisation of the health service—privatisation that was started by Labour—£10 is lost from the Scottish budget.
Neil Findlay:
Will the cabinet secretary give way?
Michael Russell:
No.
For every £100 that is removed from public expenditure through privatisation of higher education south of the border, we lose £10. That is the reality. That is the nub of the debate. We can choose to make our decisions in Scotland, to take our responsibilities in Scotland and to have opportunities in Scotland, or we can always dance to someone else’s tune.
Malcolm Chisholm wants to see the progress in Scotland that I want to see. I repeat what I said earlier: the SNP has the plan to do that. It puts its confidence—[Interruption.] We can hear the Tories laughing; we can always hear the Tories laughing when the people of Scotland want to progress.
Here is the choice: we can say to the people of Scotland, “Take responsibility, and then you will have the opportunity to change this country for the better”; or we can tell them to listen to those who will not accept the reality and who will always keep their fingers crossed that England votes the same way that they do. Those voices will always disappoint and let down the people of Scotland. That has got to stop.
The lesson this afternoon is entirely clear: there is a jobs plan for an independent Scotland, there is a finance plan for an independent Scotland, there is a currency plan for an independent Scotland and there is a plan to make an independent Scotland the country that it could and should be. The people who stand in the way of that are this unholy alliance between Labour and the Tories.
The Presiding Officer:
You need to finish, cabinet secretary.
Michael Russell:
They are the people who have plenty of ambition for their political parties and none for their country. [Applause.]
The Presiding Officer:
Order.
That concludes the debate on the economic opportunities of independence.

SUNDAY TIMES - 21st September 2014
Michael Russell
In a sense I have been campaigning for independence across Scotland not just in the last four weeks but for forty years. But I don't think I have ever had such an emotional political experience as last Saturday standing in the Station Square in Oban listening to Dougie Maclean sing his anthem of Scottishness, Caledonia.
It didn't matter that someone had forgotten to bring an extension lead, so there was no power for the microphone. It was irrelevant that an early sea mist, now burning off, had prevented the First Minister from making a helicopter campaign stop and equally irrelevant was the stretch limo with a huge "NO thanks" logo tied round it ( one of the bizzarest sights of the campaign) that kept cruising past. Dougie sang and 250 people - young and old, from all parties but mostly none, sang along with a quiet intensity that brought tears to my eyes and to eyes of many others.
That event started a whole day of remarkable activities - a car cavalcade of more than sixty vehicles that wound its way across Mid Argyll with so many participants that a church hall in Lochgilphead had to be commandeered to feed them, a flash mob of dancers and musicians on a green beside the sea and finally a laser show lighting up a huge YES sign on the island of Kerrera in the bay facing the town.
This was politics, but not as I have known it. YES Scotland started out as an umbrella organisation and ended up as a mass movement . It's creativity and energy was replicated not just across my constituency - in Dunoon, in Campbeltown, in Rothesay, in Lochgoilhead, on Islay and on Mull - but across the whole of Scotland in a diverse, multi layered movement that demanded and will go on demanding not only attention but also real change.
Although Thursday night delivered a bitter blow to many of those who had invested so much of themselves in that movement I do not think it will go away. Indeed it must not go away. It's commitment, enthusiasm and vigour are needed as never before if Scotland is to move forward united.
It is this movement that can really test the will of politicians to deliver the new dispensation that the Westminster parties promised in the final days of the campaign and it is this movement that can press an agenda that is focussed on outcomes which benefit and empower real people not just the political classes.
As Alex Salmond said on Friday in his moving resignation statement, holding Westminster to account for the delivery of its new promises has to be done by the whole of Scotland and that process needs to be lead by citizens themselves. If it changes and benefits all the parts of the present UK so much the better as long as that not an excuse for endless delay.
I have undertaken more than sixty public meetings in Argyll & Bute over the past nine months. One of the biggest took place on Ardrishaig the night before the Dougie MacLean event at which I shared a platform with Professor Allan MacInnes and Lesley Riddoch, both longstanding friends. Lesley spoke about this new politics too and was given a standing ovation by the over capacity crowd jammed into a tiny church hall. That enthusiasm reflected growing demand for a different set of priorities and a changed way of doing things - bottom up not top down.
That is what independence is but it's core values - fairness, equity, hope, opportunity, equality, justice - go well beyond the the 1.6 million who chose that option. Lots of voters on both sides were sending a message about the need for those things that cannot now be ignored.
That is why the "faster, safer and better" change offered in the 3 UK leaders Daily Record "Vow" was in the end persuasive for so many. They disagreed on the means but not on the ends.
So that is also why the SNP as the Scottish Government has to be an active part of the process now being outlined by the UK Government. We must heed the urgings of those we have worked with and take part in a constructive, urgent and focussed process to decide on the range of powers required and accelerate their introduction whilst ensuring that they are devolved further into communities and made capable of adaptation to local need and local direction.
That will not be easy for anyone but it is the essential next step - a step demanded by Thursday's result and which can also act as a unifying mechanism. We can help make a new Team Scotland and learn from it though it will be a Team Scotland weakened when not led by Alex Salmond, to whom the whole country owes an enormous political debt.
I am undoubtedly still a nationalist and I want to see independence. But this referendum campaign, undertaken in an Indian summer of warm sunshine amongst the most beautiful scenery in the world, criss crossing sea lochs, sailing to islands and motoring amongst mountains, has taught me a great deal.
A passionate desire for a better country is shared by many of our fellow citizens, young and old inside and outside conventional politics. A different set of priorities and policies - some already introduced by an SNP Government over the past 7 years - is possible. Alienation from politics and society isn't inevitable because inspiration casts out indifference. Decisions are better when made with people, not for them.
I have had the great pleasure of an invigorating campaign in Dalmally and Dunoon, on Luing and Lismore, through Glendaruel (where I live) and Glen Barr and by the shores of Loch Etive and Loch Riddon. The conclusion of those journeys was not the one I hoped for a month ago when the Sunday Times asked me to contribute at the end of the campaign. But the people have spoken and when that happens politicians have to listen - wherever they are.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm just gonna ask you one question: Do you know how a firearm works?
What?
The key word in firearm is fire. When the pin hits the cap, it makes the charge explode, meaning there's a spark, which should be of some concern to a man soaked in gasoline.
That spark's so far away from the gasoline.
You didn't finish school, did you, Mr. Dean? It's not the liquid that burns, it's the fumes. Now, look, normally, I would've just shot you myself the second you pulled, but I am doing my level best to avoid the paperwork and the self-recrimination that comes with it. The lord knows you're the kind that makes it worth it more.
Come on, Jimmy, can't we just try to end this without you turning yourself into the human torch?

Jan 24 2017, 8:37 AM
Essec09: However you and your students want to do it, Mrs. Brook.
Jan 24 2017, 8:38 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Here are a few to get started....
Jan 24 2017, 8:38 AM
icecream247: ok
Jan 24 2017, 8:38 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Mason: How long does it take the eagles to get food?
Jan 24 2017, 8:39 AM
icecream247: it could take anywere from a few minutes to a couple of hours
Jan 24 2017, 8:40 AM
icecream247: there are lots of ponds near by and the river is about a mile south of the nest. Depends on how long it takes them to find the food
Jan 24 2017, 8:40 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Skylar: When did you first notice the Eagles?
Jan 24 2017, 8:41 AM
icecream247: The Eagles first built the nest on the Pritchett Farm back in 2006, When the pair was Ozzie and Harriet
Jan 24 2017, 8:41 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: What a great view of E9!!!
Jan 24 2017, 8:41 AM
Essec09: The camera operator is going to try and give you some good views, Mrs. Brook.
Jan 24 2017, 8:42 AM
Essec09: Skylar, the eagles were noticed before 2006 when they nested across the street. But we aren't sure of when Harriet was first seen over in that area.
Jan 24 2017, 8:44 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: The egg is still there!!!
Jan 24 2017, 8:44 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: How many moderators participate and where are they from?
Jan 24 2017, 8:45 AM
icecream247: yes it is. Mrs.Brook Depending on the eagles, nonviable eggs may be removed or pushed from the nest; pushed to the side of the nest and covered or even eaten to recapture the energy and calcium they contain. If an egg doesn't hatch it is generally ignored
Jan 24 2017, 8:45 AM
icecream247: We have 13 people in our SWFEC group, Giancarlo. Not all moderate on the chat though. We have some who work behind the scenes noting nest observations, changing information on the Black Banner located above the cameras and add videos and photos to the Video Library and the Flickr account.
Jan 24 2017, 8:45 AM
icecream247: But they are all volunteers and are not watching all the time.
Jan 24 2017, 8:47 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: You can start on the other questions and we will save a few for the end
Jan 24 2017, 8:47 AM
Essec09: Are you going to post the questions, Mrs. Brook?
Jan 24 2017, 8:47 AM
Essec09: Or do you want us to?
Jan 24 2017, 8:49 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Reuben: How many times does e9 get fed each day?
Jan 24 2017, 8:50 AM
icecream247: It can vary each day, Reuben, depending on how much E9 might eat at one feeding. They store food in their crop and if they gorge themselves and fill the crop then they are good for another day. Now that E9 is older and bigger E9 usually is fed by the adults around 5-6 times a day.
Jan 24 2017, 8:52 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Adam: How many feathers do they have?
Jan 24 2017, 8:53 AM
icecream247: Hello Adam. That is a good question. A Bald Eagle has between 7,000 to 7,200 contour feathers. Can you imagine sitting down and counting all of those feathers? Well, some people have. Back in 1955 there was an article in The Wilson Bulletin titled “Numbers of Feathers and Weights of Various Systems in a Bald Eagle” by Pierce Brodkorb.
Jan 24 2017, 8:53 AM
icecream247: He stated: A yearling female Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) was obtained in Volusia County, Florida, on January 15, 1953. While preparing this bird as a skeleton, I counted the contour feathers. The total count was 7,182 feathers, distributed as follows
Jan 24 2017, 8:53 AM
icecream247: : head 2175, neck 805, body 334, tail 139, left wing 1234 (of which 754 were on the upper surface, and 480 on the under surface), right wing 1369, left leg 551, right leg 535.
Jan 24 2017, 8:54 AM
icecream247: You might notice the difference in the number between the right and left leg. Eagles go through molts and some feathers have molted out and are in the process of being replaced. It takes a while for the feathers to come in.
Jan 24 2017, 8:55 AM
Essec09:
Jan 24 2017, 8:56 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Alysa- How many eggs do female eagles lay each season?
Jan 24 2017, 8:56 AM
icecream247: Eagles only have one clutch of eggs each season, Alysa. Unlike songbirds that might have two or three clutches each season, the eagle only raises one clutch because it takes so long for their young to be ready to leave the nest area.
Jan 24 2017, 8:56 AM
icecream247: Eagles lay anywhere from 1-3 eggs, but 2 is the average. There are a few recorded nests where the adults successfully fledged four eaglets, but those are rare.
Jan 24 2017, 8:56 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Wow!!!! That's alot of feathers
Jan 24 2017, 8:57 AM
MsSmith57: SWFEC has a Classroom Session in progress with Ms. Brook’s, McDonald and Grasso’s Students. Please hold comments/questions until the session has ended. Thanks!
Jan 24 2017, 8:57 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Abby: Do the parents ever sleep? If so, when do they find the time?

icecream247: Good question Abby. It does seem like the adults rarely sleep, especially during the day. Eagles are usually alert, so they never sleep very deeply or for very long like we do.
Jan 24 2017, 8:58 AM
icecream247: They mostly doze off and on. When you see them tuck their head in their wing - that is about the deepest sleep you will see them in. At night you will see the adult in the nest with their eyes closed or their head tucked in. They do tend to sleep more at night.
Jan 24 2017, 8:59 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Matthew and Ashley: How long will it take for E9's feathers to turn brown? Why is the baby eagle white and the rest of are different colors?
Jan 24 2017, 9:00 AM
icecream247: Right now E9 has thermal down covering their body; which is dark grey in color. The contour feathers are already beginning to emerge. We just can’t see them very well because the thermal down is so thick. But in another week we should see them begin to show through the thermal down.
Jan 24 2017, 9:00 AM
icecream247: The tail and wing pin feathers have been seen already. They are the longest and take the most time to grow in. The feathers will then be seen on their backs, sides and eventually on the head and chest. By the time E9 is 5 weeks old they will have quite a few brown feathers. But it takes a while for them to grow in completely.
Jan 24 2017, 9:01 AM
icecream247: Here is a photo taken last year of E7(right) and E8. E7 is five weeks old and since they were the oldest they got the lion’s share of food during the early days. This is why there is such a difference in feather growth.
Jan 24 2017, 9:01 AM
icecream247: It is a good photo that shows what the feathers look like when they first show up (E8 left) and how quickly they come in.

Anne Thompson Brook: Mrs. Grasso: Are there any threats or predators that enter the nest?
Jan 24 2017, 9:02 AM
icecream247: yes there are. But at this nest site i have only seen a snake crawl across the nest, But that was before any eggs were layed.
Jan 24 2017, 9:03 AM
Essec09: Mrs. Grasso other eagles and owls can be a concern to the eaglets. Sometimes raccoons will also enter a nest, but usually they like the eggs.
Jan 24 2017, 9:03 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Sara: How large is the nest?
Jan 24 2017, 9:04 AM
icecream247: the nest is around 6ft wide on the top by around 5ft deep and is 60ft up in the Slash Pine

Anne Thompson Brook: Mrs. Brook told us that Eagles/eaglets have been injured in the past. How is the nest accessed in an emergency?
Jan 24 2017, 9:06 AM
icecream247: in an emergency they would use a Bucket truck as they did with E8

Anne Thompson Brook: Morgan: How did Harriet, M15 and E9 get their names? Why does Harriet have a name and not the others?
Jan 24 2017, 9:07 AM
icecream247: Hi Morgan. When Harriet first showed up in the area she had another mate. The locals began calling them Ozzie and Harriet. These are the names of a man and wife who used to have a television show many, many years ago. The names stuck.
Jan 24 2017, 9:08 AM
icecream247: But when one of the eaglets passed away in the nest during the second season, the camera owners decided not to name the eagles since they are wild birds and not pets.
Unfortunately, Ozzie passed away in 2015. When M15 showed up it was decided to call him M for “male” and 15 for the year he showed up at the nest (2015).
Jan 24 2017, 9:08 AM
icecream247:
Jan 24 2017, 9:08 AM
Essec09: The eaglets are given a number as to the order they hatched at the nest. E is for “eagle”.
Jan 24 2017, 9:08 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Andrew- Do male eagles often fight with each other? Do fights ever happen in the nest?
Jan 24 2017, 9:09 AM
icecream247: Yes, male and female eagles will get into territorial fights if an eagle shows up during nesting season, Andrew. This doesn’t happen just with male eagles. Females will also defend their territory.
Jan 24 2017, 9:09 AM
icecream247: When Ozzie was injured and not around to defend his territory and family, other eagles were seen around the nest site. This is when M15 showed up at the nest. He decided to take over the territory and try to win Harriet’s approval as a mate and chased off a number of visiting eagles.
Jan 24 2017, 9:09 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: We learned all about Ozzie
Jan 24 2017, 9:09 AM
Essec09: We were all so sad when that happened.
Jan 24 2017, 9:09 AM
icecream247: yes it was a sad time for all of us
Jan 24 2017, 9:10 AM
icecream247: but we are so glad that M15 is around
Jan 24 2017, 9:10 AM
Essec09: M15 has been a great mate for Harriet.
Jan 24 2017, 9:10 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Joel- How long do eagles fly in the air without making a landing?
Jan 24 2017, 9:11 AM
icecream247: That is a hard question to answer Joel. Most eagles don’t fly great distances unless they are migrating or don’t have a territory and are traveling to different food locations. Generally they remain in their territory which is less than a two to five mile radius.
Jan 24 2017, 9:11 AM
icecream247: While they may not go great distances, Bald Eagles can soar for long periods of time using the thermal air currents. These are updrafts that hold them aloft like a kite.
Jan 24 2017, 9:11 AM
icecream247: You might be interested in this information however. In 1987 an exhausted Bald Eagle was discovered by a national parks worker in a northern heath (Kerry) in the country of Ireland.
Jan 24 2017, 9:12 AM
icecream247: It is thought a storm blew it out to sea, and the bird struggled across the Atlantic Ocean with some strong winds. The airline Aer Lingus returned the bird back to the United States. Wonder how many frequent flyer miles that eagle earned?!
Jan 24 2017, 9:12 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Are those the pin feathers?
Jan 24 2017, 9:12 AM
icecream247: Yes they are
Jan 24 2017, 9:13 AM
icecream247: When the feathers first emerge they are called pin feathers - or blood feathers. The shaft is filled with blood while it is growing in and shuts off when complete.
Jan 24 2017, 9:13 AM
icecream247: The blood is in the calamus or hollow shaft of the feather. In order for the feather to grow it needs a blood supply. The shafts (of feathers) grow from a follicle in the skin - and are rather like veins since they are connected to the eagle's blood supply
Jan 24 2017, 9:13 AM

Jan 24 2017, 9:13 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Kalei- When do the parents find time to eat? Sometimes it looks like the fish are half eaten before they are brought to the nest?
Jan 24 2017, 9:14 AM
icecream247: Good question Kalei. And the adults do eat away from the nest many times. They might go hunting and take their catch to another location and eat it. Or they might eat part of it and then bring it back to the nest to feed E9.
Jan 24 2017, 9:14 AM
icecream247: Then there are times when the fish is brought to the nest whole and the adult might start eating it on the nest and then start feeding E9.

Anne Thompson Brook: Colin- How long is the wingspan of a fully grown eagle?
Jan 24 2017, 9:16 AM
icecream247: This might come as a surprise to you, Colin, but an adult Bald Eagle has a wingspan between six and seven feet from the tip of one wing to the other. Some in Alaska have wingspans of up to eight feet!
To get an idea of how wide that is - most doors are about 6’ 8” high - so their wingspan will block the door!
Jan 24 2017, 9:16 AM
icecream247:
Jan 24 2017, 9:17 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Mrs. Grasso- How do they "learn" to hunt?
Jan 24 2017, 9:18 AM
icecream247: They watch the adults hunt after they fledge. During the first year the Juveniles will mostly steal there food .
Jan 24 2017, 9:19 AM
Essec09: Lots of trial and error when it comes to learning to hunt.
Jan 24 2017, 9:19 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Adam- What the typical lifespan of an eagle?
Jan 24 2017, 9:19 AM
icecream247: Adam. It's possible for bald eagles in the wild to live longer than thirty years, but the average lifespan is 25 years.
Jan 24 2017, 9:19 AM
icecream247: The oldest known banded wild bald eagle was killed by a car on a road in western New York on June 2, 2015 according to New York state officials. The 38-year-old bird of prey surpassed the previous longevity record for this species by five years.
Eagles that are living in captivity have been known to live as long as 48 years.
Jan 24 2017, 9:19 AM
icecream247:
Jan 24 2017, 9:20 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: That was another question: Are some eagles banded?
Jan 24 2017, 9:23 AM
icecream247: Here in Florida only nests that are being used for research are Banded. Depending on the State you live in will depend on if and how many they do band
Jan 24 2017, 9:23 AM
Essec09: Florida doesn't have any banding projects right now, but some that end up in wildlife hospitals are banded before they are released. In other states there are banding projects that are happening now.
Jan 24 2017, 9:24 AM
Anne Thompson Brook: Just wanted to check our time... What time do we have until?

2017. It sucks. I f*%king hate hate HATE this stupid waste of space. I don't even consider this to be a year, It was a nightmare. It was abysmal and atrocious and it combines with my other hated years (2009, 2013 [Only for my personal life], 2014, and 2016). It deserved that because 2017 is the WORST YEAR IN THE WORLD, y personal life and everything!!!!!!!! This year has been BULL$#!T, Everything sucks in 2017! The reason why 2017 is the worst, it's because My sister sprang her knee, my cat had surgery, Donald Trump the evil president, My family members were fighting, the death of my pug, Paramount Pictures has gone downhill, lots of celebritiy deaths, mass shootings, terrorist attacks, lots of TV shows getting cancelled, mediorcre remakes and sequels, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi (That movie abslouutley SUCKED). 2017 is the worst!
I'm GLAD 2017 is OVER!!!!!! Lots of bad stuff happening, also, this year seems to be a little better, we'll see.

She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic odyssey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.
ALL THE BEST on your Epic Hero's Odyssey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!

anyone have experience removing chewing gum from short fur?
update: working peanut butter into her fur helped loosen the gum. thanks for the suggestions!
why do we never get an answer
when we're knocking at the door
with a thousand million questions
about hate and death and war?
Opening scene
It is late in the 22nd Century. United Planet cruiser C57D a year out from Earth base on the way to Altair for a special mission. Commander J.J Adams (Leslie Neilsen) orders the crew to the deceleration booths as the ship drops from light speed to normal space.
Adams orders pilot Jerry Farman (Jack Kelly) to lay in a course for the fourth planet. The captain then briefs the crew that they are at their destination, and that they are to look for survivors from the Bellerophon expedition 20 years earlier.
As they orbit the planet looking for signs of life, the ship is scanned by a radar facility some 20 square miles in area. Morbius (Walter Pigeon) contacts the ship from the planet asking why the ship is here. Morbius goes on to explain he requires nothing, no rescue is required and he can't guarantee the safety of the ship or its crew.
Adams confirms that Morbius was a member of the original crew, but is puzzled at the cryptic warning Morbius realizes the ship is going to land regardless, and gives the pilot coordinates in a desert region of the planet. The ship lands and security details deploy. Within minutes a high speed dust cloud approaches the ship. Adams realizes it is a vehicle, and as it arrives the driver is discovered to be a robot (Robby). Robby welcomes the crew to Altair 4 and invites members of the crew to Morbious residence.
Adams, Farman and Doc Ostrow (Warren Stevens) arrive at the residence and are greeted by Morbius. They sit down to a meal prepared by Robbys food synthesizer and Morbius shows the visitors Robbys other abilities, including his unwavering obedience. Morbius then gives Robby a blaster with orders to shoot Adams. Robby refuses and goes into a mechanical mind lock, disabling him till the order is changed.
Morbius then shows the men the defense system of the house (A series of steel shutters). When questioned, Morbius admits that the Belleraphon crew is dead, Morbius and his wife being the only original survivors. Morbius's wife has also died, but months after the others and from natural causes. Morbius goes on to explain many of the crew were torn limb from limb by a strange creature or force living on the planet. The Belleraphon herself was destroyed when the final three surviving members tried to take off for Earth.
Adams wonders why this force has remained dormant all these years and never attacked Morbius. As discussions continue, a young woman Altaira (Anne Francis) introduces herself as Morbius daughter. Farman takes an immediate interest in Altaira, and begins to flirt with her . Altaira then shows the men her ability to control wild animals by petting a wild tiger. During this display the ship checks in on the safety of the away party. Adams explains he will need to check in with Earth for further orders and begins preparations for sending a signal. Because of the power needed the ship will be disabled for up to 10 days. Morbius is mortified by this extended period and offers Robby's services in building the communication facility
The next day Robby arrives at ship as the crew unloads the engine to power the transmitter. To lighten the tense moment the commander instructs the crane driver to pick up Cookie (Earl Holliman) and move him out of the way. Quinn interrupts the practical joke to report that the assembly is complete and they can transmit in the morning.
Meanwhile Cookie goes looking for Robby and organizes for the robot to synthesize some bourbon. Robby takes a sample and tells Cookie he can have 60 gallons ready the next morning for him.
Farman continues to court Altair by teaching her how to kiss, and the health benefits of kissing. Adams interrupts the exercise, and is clearly annoyed with a mix of jealous. He then explains to Altair that the clothes she wears are inappropriate around his crew. Altair tries to argue till Adams looses patience and order Altair to leave the area.
That night, Altair, still furious, explains to her father what occurred. Altair takes Adams advice to heart and orders Robby to run up a less revealing dress. Meanwhile back at the ship two security guards think they hear breathing in the darkness but see nothing.
Inside the ship, one of the crew half asleep sees the inner hatch opened and some material moved around. Next morning the Captain holds court on the events of the night before. Quinn advises the captain that most of the missing and damaged equipment can be replaced except for the Clystron monitor. Angry the Capt and Doc go back to Morbius to confront him about what has occurred.
Morbius is unavailable, so the two men settle in to wait. Outside Adams sees Altair swimming and goes to speak to her. Thinking she is naked, Adams becomes flustered and unsettled till he realizes she wants him to see her new dress. Altair asks why Adams wont kiss her like everyone else has. He gives in and plants one on her. Behind them a tiger emerges from the forest and attacks Altair, Adams reacts by shooting it. Altair is badly troubled by the incident, the tiger had been her friend, but she can't understand why acted as if she was an enemy.
Returning to the house, Doc and Adams accidently open Morbius office. They find a series of strange drawings but no sign of Morbius. He appears through a secret door and is outraged at the intrusion. Adams explains the damage done to the ship the previous night and his concern that Morbius was behind the attack.
Morbius admits it is time for explanations. He goes on to tell them about a race of creatures that lived on the planet called the Krell. In the past they had visited Earth, which explains why there are Earth animals on the planet. Morbius believes the Krell civilization collapsed in a single night, right on the verge of their greatest discovery. Today 2000 centuries later, nothing of their cities exists above ground.
Morbius then takes them on a tour of the Krell underground installation. Morbius first shows them a device for projecting their knowledge; he explains how he began to piece together information. Then an education device that projects images formed in the mind. Finally he explains what the Krell were expected to do, and how much lower human intelligence is in comparison.
Doc tries the intelligence tester but is confused when it does not register as high as Morbius. Morbius then explains it can also boost intelligence, and that the captain of the Belleraphon died using it. Morbius himself was badly injured but when he recovered his IQ had doubled.
Adams questions why all the equipment looks brand new. It is explained that all the machines left on the planet are self repairing and Morbius takes them on a tour of the rest of the installation. First they inspect a giant air vent that leads to the core of the planet. There are 400 other such shafts in the area and 9200 thermal reactors spread through the facilities 8000 cubic miles.
Later that night the crew has completed the security arrangements and tests the force field fence. Cookie asks permission to go outside the fence. He meets Robby who gives him the 60 gallons of bourbon. Outside, something hits the fence and shorts it out. The security team checks the breach but finds nothing. A series of foot like depressions begin forming leading to the ship. Something unseen enters the ship. A scream echos through the compound.
Back at the Morbius residence he argues that only he should be allowed to control the flow of Krell technology back to Earth. In the middle of the discussion, Adams is paged and told that the Chief Quinn has been murdered. Adams breaks of his discussions and heads back to the ship.
Later that night Doc finds the footprints and makes a cast. The foot makes no evolutionary sense. It seems to have elements of a four footed and biped creature; also it seems a predator and herbivore. Adams questions Cookie who was with the robot during the test and decides the robot was not responsible.
The next day at the funeral for Chief Morbius again warns him of impending doom facing the ship and crew. Adams considers this a challenge and spends the day fortifying the position around the ship. After testing the weapons and satisfied all that could be done has, the radar station suddenly reports movement in the distance moving slowly towards the ship.
No one sees anything despite the weapons being under radar fire control. The controller confirms a direct hit, but the object is still moving towards the ship. Suddenly something hits the force field fence, and a huge monster appears outlined in the energy flux. The crew open fire, but seem to do little good. A number of men move forward but a quickly killed.
Morbious wakes hearing the screams of Altair. Shes had a dream mimicking the attack that has just occurred. As Morbious is waking the creature in the force field disappears. Doc theories that the creature is made of some sort of energy, renewing itself second by second.
Adams takes Doc in the tractor to visit Morbius intending to evacuate him from the planet. He leaves orders for the ship to be readied for lift off. If he and Doc dont get back, the ship is to leave without them. They also want to try and break into Morbious office and take the brain booster test.
They are met at the door by Robby, who disarms them. Altair appears and countermands the orders given to Robby by her father. Seeing a chance Doc sneaks into the office. Altair argues with Adams about trying to make Morbius return home, she ultimately declares her love for him.
Robby appears carrying the injured Doc. Struggling to speak and heavy pain, Doc explains that the Krell succeeded in their great experiment. However they forgot about the sub conscious monsters they would release. Monsters from the id.
Morbius sees the dead body of Doc, and makes a series of ugly comments. His daughter reminds him that Doc is dead. Morbius lack of care convinces Altair she is better off going with Adams. Morbius tries to talk Adams out of taking Altair.
Adams demands an explanation of the id. Morbius realizes he is the source of the creature killing everyone. The machine the Krell built was able to release his inner beast, the sub conscious monster dwelling deep inside his ancestral mind.
Robby interrupts the debate to report something approaching the house. Morbius triggers the defensive shields of the house, which the creature begins to destroy. Morbius then orders Robby to destroy the creature, however Robby short circuits. Adams explained that it was useless; Robby knew it was Morbius self.
Adams, Altair and Morbius retreat to the Krell lab and sealed themselves in by sealing a special indestructible door. Adams convinces Morbius that he is really the monster, and that Morbius can not actually control his subconscious desires.
The group watch as the creature beings the slow process of burning through the door. Panicked Morbius implores Altair to say it is not so. Suddenly the full realization comes, and he understands that he could endanger or even kill Altair.
As the creature breaks through Morbius rushes forward and denies its existence. Suddenly the creature disappears but Morbius is mortally wounded. With his dying breath he instructs Adams to trigger a self destruct mechanism linked to the reactors of the great machine. The ship and crew have 24 hours to get as far away from the planet as possible
The next day we see the ship deep in space. Robby and Altair are onboard watching as the planet brightens and is destroyed. Adams assures Altair that her fathers memory will shine like a beacon.
