(Gulo is Latin for "glutton").
Also referred to as glutton, carcajou, skunk bear, or quickhatch. It is the largest land-dwelling species of the family Mustelidae (weasels). It is a stocky and muscular carnivore, more closely resembling a small bear than other mustelids. The wolverine, a solitary animal, has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times larger than itself.
In conjunction with the Singapore HeritageFest 2013, Orchard Central have organised the feast on local favourites from 19 July - 18 August 2013 at the atrium shopping mall, Orchard Road.

After teaching a class - in a cemetary on a Saturday night - I stopped by the lovely Tremont Grain Co-Op #1 just east of... yep... Tremont, IL.
Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I worked around the field from about 11pm - 1:30am. I got lots of interesting looks - but this is the one I'm going with - looking southwest from just northeast of the facility.
Farmers are getting killed this year on the harvest. Water content is so high - in the plants themselves - that everyone is waiting to get into the fields. As of a few days ago - when they'd normally be about 50% harvested - they were just 11% complete. The talk around here is that they'll be harvesting corn in December. Beans have to come first - they're more sensitive to temperatures.
And still - outfits like this are hopping 24x7 - with spotlights and steam galore. There was a guy constantly checking on things - trooping around on a 4-wheeler - making a circuit of the place every 3-4 minutes. There was a sense of constant urgency in his work. It felt kind of weird because I don't think he ever realized I was out in the field. I walked around 3/4 of the place - coming within 100 feet at times. I wanted to go up and say something but I thought that might freak him out more. So I stayed in stalker mode. Night stalker mode.
Looking towards Glutton Bridge and we can just make out Parkhouse Hill on the right in the middle distance.

Unfortunately we couldn't come any closer or find a better viewpoint to take photographs. But I just had to take a picture, any picture, of these cool little animals.
They look so cool, I mean just look at those paws... and after a quick YouTube search you can actually confirm that they are even more cool than they look. These guys weigh about 10-20kg, and they will attack even moose or elk for prey. Their jaws are strong enough to crush the femur bone of a moose, to get to the marrow inside. They will also try to steal prey from black bears or polar bears, and sometimes succeed.
Seriously... deep respect.
There Dutch name may be even cooler than the English one. In Dutch they are called "veelvraat" which means "glutton". But it is actually believed to be a bastardization of the Norwegian word "fjellfross" which means "rock cat".
1. Glutton. I overeat.
2. Pacifist. Last time I got in a physical fight was at the Lismore baseball field, circa 1994. I got dropped with a punch to the face. Put in a decent showing despite my glass jaw, though.
3. Skeptic. I question my own beliefs and hold them up to intense scrutiny. A non-believer in the supernatural.
4. Alumnus. I am intensely connected to where I did my undergrad, Mount Allison University (www.mta.ca).
5. Aging. The ravages of male pattern baldness are with me.
6. Half-deaf. I have been having really bad hearing problems for the last year. Infection after infection has made me say "what?" a lot.
7. Shrinking. In the last year, I've dropped 22lbs. Hoping to lose another 20 or so. Contrast with #1 to see why this is necessary.
8. Leftie. I write with my left, but for things I need power for (e.g., batting, throwing) I use my right.
9. Unmarried. In about three months, you will see a ring on this finger and #9 will be obsolete. Luckily, the girl who's getting a ring too is worth the trouble. :)
10. Mutant. I have an extra bone in my feet. It hurts a lot of the time.
As I should have suspected, chopping 10 cups of onions is more than twice as hellish as chopping 5. But, if I was going to go through this for dinner guests, we were going to at least have leftovers for the week.
Hungry wolverine runs around by waiting for his daily lunch feeding. We tried to take this pic through the wire fence, so this pic needed a bit after works an some effects to be worth seeing.
Who's back? Me's back.
Foolish, or a glutton for punishment? Not sure yet, but I have missed my daily 365 exercise.
I'm going to endeavour to make more effort with Year 2. In so much as I'm going to try to get out and about, pootle around in the car and on the bike, and take shots outside of the house and garden. But, for today I'm going to settle for showing you all my new pin-striped trilby. ;-)
And this shot was lit by my other new purchase - my 580EXII (picked up at a much reduced eBay price...) - and what has now become its little brother, the 430EX. One either side of the camera. Still fired by the eBay radio triggers though.
I have done a little more than just buy a hat and a flash while I'll been absent. I've finally got around to putting my website ( www.broomephoto.com ) together - which will hopefully lead to... well something anyway.
Ahh, it's good to be back ;-) Sorry about the lazy commenting - I'll try to catch up again tonight.
And I apologise for the pose - but this is the kind of pose that you are driven to pull if you wear a trilby. Honestly. Try it.
Chinese takeaway or "chinky" as i call it.
Is that regarded as racist? I dont think so,after all it is a race of people and a type of food.
Anyway, this rancid slop is a chicken curry with egg fried rice, it looks like crap, but tastes absolutely fucking terrible.
But i dont care im a fat bastard and it will keep me going for all of about a bastard half hour.
Ill be shitting through the eye of a needle tonight, fuck yes, mark my words.

I miss this place, I miss taking photos for me, I miss the flickrites, that part of my life, I miss not having more photos of my own kids, of not having more photos of my family on my walls, I miss out on moments because I don't always have my camera with me - and that I hope to remedy by starting another 365 project! Fourth time lucky, right?!
my siblings--always gluttons for punishment--felt they needed to be sent lots of pictures of the Rhein with smooth-looking water, so they got together and bought me an ND filter for Christmas, bless their hearts.
Right now the Rhein is rising at breakneck speed (first mobile barriers are being erected as we speak), so there are lots of opportunites out there for the disaster-fan in all of us.

Landed in San Francisco this morning after a fairly uneventful flight (albeit with a half-hour dash to connect in Narita, Japan). Julia picked me up, took me to her adorable house, and then we spent the day walking around the Mission, visiting with Emily, and then a nice dinner for just me and Julia at Bar Tartine.
But lunch, of course, was a burrito in the Mission. YUM.
(love how I took hot photos of my friends today, but THIS is my SP. mmhmm.)
Highland Wildlife Park, Kincraig, Cairngorms
A first visit to the Highland Wildlife Park for over 30 years. My wife and I were members of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland way back when we lived in Edinburgh, even having part of our wedding reception in Edinburgh Zoo. It's great to be back.

Taken form High Wheeldon in the White Peak. It didn't look like there would be any light, but just before the sun dipped below the sunrise, it shone through a tiny gap in the horizon. No light on the landscape unfortunately, but I enjoyed the colour in the sky nonetheless and thought it worth sharing.
