Yeah, i know a bit dissapointment in streamyx connection but hey i'm still uploading it. To my friend Alok that is Lokman Syably this is the photo that only I can upload on today because network are so so so...and soooo dang slow !! Enjoy it People.

Yeah, I know: another book shot, you'll say. Easy game when you're not inspired, uh? You're wrong: I finished this book while commuting this morning and I loved it so much I wanted to document it.

"The Shepherd" is a novella by Frederick Forsyth published in 1975. I had ordered its bilingual English-French edition for the library and it is this copy I read. It tells about the rescue of a young RAF pilot flying back home on Christmas Eve 1957. It's less than an hour reading - if you are lucky enough to enjoy such an uninterrupted span of free time, which I'm not - but I enjoyed every single line and it was one of those books you regret it ends all too soon.

If you happen to know someone whose heart beats faster to the sound of a piston engine, preferably a Merlin one, this will be the perfect gift under the Christmas tree...

It is my pleasant duty to express my warmest thanks to Mr R.A.Scholefield, Manchester, UK, who gave me permission to use his photo of a De Havilland DH-98 Mosquito T3 for my illustration. You can see the original shot here.

Neil Young's second album, and his first with backing band Crazy Horse, this is Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969). An excellent album, if you're into folk rock.

Not sure how this turned out; I'll be mulling it over!

______________________

Spending my vacation in the summer sun,

Gettin' lots of action and a lots of fun.

Scorin' like a bandit 'til the bubble burst -

Suddenly it got to be September First.

Woe is me, all summer long I was happy and free.

Save my soul, the board of education took away my parole.

I gotta go back, back, back to school again.

You won't find me 'til the clock strikes three;

I'm gonna be there 'til then...

I gotta go back, back, back to school again.

Whoa, whoa, I gotta go... back to school again!

Geometry and history is just a pain,

Biology and chemistry destroys my brain.

Well don't they know that I deserve a better fate?

I'm really much too young to matriculate.

Well mama please, your child's come down with a fatal disease.

Mama said, "Come on you lazy bum now get your butt out of bed!"

"You gotta go back, back, back to school again!"

It's bye-bye fun, get your homework done,

You better be in by ten,

I gotta go back, back, back to school again.

Whoa, whoa, I gotta go... back to school again!

I got my books together and I dragged my feet,

Then I saw this angel boppin' down the street.

I said, "Hey, pretty baby, howsabout a date?"

She said, "I'm going to school, and I can't be late."

Well, I can see, that look in her eyes was sayin' "Follow me,"

And I was caught - I thought of playing hooky, but on second thought,

I gotta go back, back, back to school again.

You won't find me 'til the clock strikes three;

I'm gonna be there 'til then...

I gotta go back, back, back to school again.

Whoa, whoa, I gotta go... back to school ... again!!!

I know little about Mary Baker Eddy, but from what I do know, I believe her to have been an extraordinary woman. She suffered chronic illnesses much of her life, and heartbreaks of many kinds, and from these she founded a religious movement, Christian Science, which today is practiced in 76 countries.

She was buried December 8, 1910 at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her memorial was designed by New York architect Egerton Swartwout. Hundreds of tributes appeared in newspapers around the world, including The Boston Globe, which wrote, "She did a wonderful—an extraordinary work in the world and there is no doubt that she was a powerful influence for good.

Well I don't know what I'm looking for

But I know that I just wanna look some more

And I won't be satisfied

'Till there's nothing left that I haven't tried

For some people it's an easy choice

But for me there's a devil and an angel's voice

Well I don't know what I am looking for

But I know that I just wanna look some more

But I know that I don't wanna wait anymore

["What I'm Looking For" by Brendan Benson]

Yes, I know... it's from the latest iPod touch ad. Yet it's relevant. I mean, listen to it... or read it. Whatever. The thing is? I've been thinking a lot about the whole annulment thing. I've been reading and reflecting and I think I've come to some helpful insight.

Here it is: It is possible for me to accept that, at time of my marriage vows, it is possible that I was not psychologically able to give consent, if I can also recognize that it's possible that I could be psychologically able to enter into vows in the future.

You see, my struggle has been with the idea that my Ex could blame me as psychologically responsible for the reason why our marriage could be annulled. I wanted him to own some of this, too. Well, I cannot control what he owns and does not own. I can control how I think and feel about this. How I have been feeling is that, if he gets to say that I contributed to why our marriage should be annulled, then it would follow that I am fundamentally flawed. I have been interpreting the situation to mean that if I wasn't able to enter into a sacramental marriage at that time, then I have too many problems to ever enter into a sacramental marriage.

This is not about whether or not I want to be married in the future. This is more about whether I think I am fundamentally flawed for forever or flawed at that time in my past.

You see, it hit me that it's possible that I had too many issues and problems in my past and that I have healed and have less problems and issues in my present. I can (and am) a different person now than I was seven years ago.

I don't know why it was so challenging to make this connection. You see, if I can objectively see myself as a different person now, it is easier for me to objectively engage in whether or not I believe my previous marriage has grounds for annulment. For me, this is a revelation.

I won't get into details, for they are unbloggable as far as I am concerned, but there have been abusive instances in my past that affected my behavior before and during my marriage that lead me to think annulment is an option. I have been reading about canon law. It is painful for me to think about these things, but I also think that I am different now, more healed from this part of my past, in 2008 than I was in 2001. I have been in and out of therapy since I was in my early 20s regarding this issue, and it has affected all of my relationships with men, as far as I can tell, but I also believe that I don't have to own that past for forever. Perhaps part of the annulment is part of acknowledging how that past affected my life, and part of healing from my past is acknowledging that I don't have to be affected by this in the same way any longer.

Zoe Bear knows 200 toys, 24 colors and 50 commands. This is still not the video I want of her retrieving some of her toys by name because as it turned out, it looks like I lined up in a row the toys I wanted her to get, which wasn't my intention. What I do with her almost every day is I take about 5-10 of her toys from the ginormous pile and put them in front, so that she doesn't have to go scrambling, and then ask her to get them one by one. Usually we play with each one for a minute or so, as you can see with the football.

She used to want to do 10-15 a day, but I'm lucky these days if she gets through maybe five. She's just not been wanting to do this as eagerly as she used to. Maybe being 11 years and 7 months old has something to do with it. Dunno. I'll keep trying to get a better video, though.

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed.

Everybody knows that the war is over,

Everybody knows that the good guys lost.

Everybody knows the fight was fixed,

The poor stay poor, the rich get rich

That's how it goes.

Everybody knows that the boat is sinking,

Everybody knows that the captain lied.

Everybody's got this broken feeling

Like their mama or their dog just died.

Everybody's hands are in their pockets,

Everybody wants a box of chocolates,

And a long stemmed rose

Everybody knows

Everybody knows that its now or never,

Everybody knows that its me or you.

Everybody knows that you live forever,

Ah, when you had a line or two.

Everybody knows the deal is rotten,

Old Black Joe still pickin cotton

For your ribbons and bows

And Everybody knows...

Everybody knows you love me baby,

Everybody knows that you really do.

Everybody knows that you been faithful,

Give or take a night or two.

Everybody knows you been discreet,

So many people you had to meet

Without your clothes

And everybody knows.

We're rounding up cartoonists, putting them into teams and letting them battle it out the only way cartoonists know how—by drawing cartoons! The format is simple: The audience provides the topics and the cartoonists let it rip. It's like Iron Chef, but the secret ingredient is punch lines instead of asparagus. Cartoonists don't often perform in public without the benefit of their usual crutches: a comfortable desk, oodles of time, bathtubs full of whiskey. So this is a rare opportunity.

Featuring cartoonists Rina Piccolo (Six Chix and Tina's Groove), Dan Piraro (Bizarro), Farley Katz (The New Yorker) and Drew Dernavich (The New Yorker, The Rejection Collection) and hosted by comedian Doogie Horner (author of Everything Explained Through Flowcharts, finalist on America's Got Talent). There will also be a surprise musical guest for your entertainment, just in case you actually need more entertainment.

As most folks know, Jimmi Hendrix is strongly associated with Seattle. Outside of the building on Capitol Hill that housed his studio there's a statue of him shredding on a guitar.

Today, that building houses an art supply store my wife frequents and I tried many times to capture a photo of the statue that I liked. But bad or poor light or heavy pedestrian or road traffic or both always interfered. While we were there back in the spring, I was standing outside pondering the statue and chatting with a friend when a cloud drifted over the sun and there was a break in traffic... I quickly stepped over and squeezed a series of shots. Looking at my cameras preview screen I was practically dancing right there because I was certain I'd finally nailed it. I was even more pleased when I got home and found that I had.

A slightly tighter crop in monochrome, I think this is my favorite version.

Did You Know?

Males sing complex songs on wintering grounds in Hawaii, that can last up to 20 minutes and be heard 20 miles (30 km) away!

In the Pacific, humpbacks migrate seasonally from Alaska to Hawaii--they can complete the 3,000-mile (4,830 km) trip in as few as 36 days!

Species Description:

Weight:25-40 tons (50,000-80,000 pounds; 22,000-36,000 kg);

newborns weigh about 1 ton (2,000 pounds; 900 kg)

Length:Up to 60 feet (18 m), with females larger than males;

newborns are about 15 feet (4.5 m) long

Appearance: Primarily dark grey, with some areas of white

Lifespan:About 50 years

Diet:Tiny crustaceans (mostly krill), plankton, and small fish; they can consume up to 3,000 pounds (1360 kg) of food per day

Behavior:Breaching (jumping out of the water), or slapping the surface

Humpback whales are well known for their long pectoral fins, which can be up to 15 feet (4.6 m) in length. Their scientific name, Megaptera novaeangliae, means "big-winged New Englander" as the New England population was the one best known to Europeans. These long fins give them increased maneuverability; they can be used to slow down or even go backwards.

Similar to all baleen whales, adult females are larger than adult males, reaching lengths of up to 60 feet (18 m). Their body coloration is primarily dark grey, but individuals have a variable amount of white on their pectoral fins and belly. This variation is so distinctive that the pigmentation pattern on the undersides of their "flukes" is used to identify individual whales, similar to a human fingerprint.

Humpback whales are the favorite of whale watchers, as they frequently perform aerial displays, such as breaching (jumping out of the water), or slapping the surface with their pectoral fins, tails, or heads.

In the summer, humpbacks are found in high latitude feeding grounds, such as the Gulf of Maine in the Atlantic and Gulf of Alaska in the Pacific. In the winter, they migrate to calving grounds in subtropical or tropical waters, such as the Dominican Republic in the Atlantic and the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific. The Arabian Sea humpback does not migrate, remaining in tropical waters all year.

Humpback whales travel great distances during their seasonal migration, the farthest migration of any mammal. The longest recorded migration was 5,160 miles (8,300 km); seven animals, including a calf, completed this trek from Costa Rica to Antarctica. One of the more closely studied routes is between Alaska and Hawaii, where humpbacks have been observed making the 3,000-mile (4,830 km) trip in as few as 36 days.

During the summer months, humpbacks spend the majority of their time feeding and building up fat stores (blubber) that they will live off of during the winter. Humpbacks filter feed on tiny crustaceans (mostly krill), plankton, and small fish and can consume up to 3,000 pounds (1,360 kg) of food per day. Several hunting methods involve using air bubbles to herd, corral, or disorient fish. One highly complex variant, called "bubble netting" is unique to humpbacks. This technique is often performed in groups with defined roles for distracting, scaring, and herding before whales lunge at prey corralled near the surface.

In their wintering grounds, humpback whales congregate and engage in mating activities. Humpbacks are generally polygynous "having multiple female mates" with males exhibiting competitive behavior on wintering grounds. Aggressive and antagonistic behaviors include chasing, vocal and bubble displays, horizontal tail thrashing, and rear body thrashing. Males within these groups also make physical contact, striking or surfacing on top of one another. These bouts can cause injuries ranging from bloody scrapes to, in one recorded instance, death. Also on wintering grounds, males sing complex songs that can last up to 20 minutes and be heard 20 miles (30 km) away. A male may sing for hours, repeating the song several times. All males in a population sing the same song, but that song continually evolves over time. Humpback whale singing has been studied for decades, but scientists still understand very little about its function.

Gestation lasts for about 11 months. Newborns are 13-16 feet (4-5 m) long and grow quickly from the highly nutritious milk of their mothers. Weaning occurs between 6-10 months after birth. Mothers are protective and affectionate towards their calves, swimming close and frequently touching them with their flippers. Males do not provide parental support for calves. Breeding usually occurs once every two years, but sometimes occurs twice in a three-year span.

Habitat

During migration, humpbacks stay near the surface of the ocean.

While feeding and calving, humpbacks prefer shallow waters. During calving, humpbacks are usually found in the warmest waters available at that latitude. Calving grounds are commonly near offshore reef systems, islands, or continental shores.

Humpback feeding grounds are in cold, productive coastal waters.

Distribution

Humpback whales live in all major oceans from the equator to sub-polar latitudes.

In the North Pacific, there are at least three separate populations:

California/Oregon/Washington stock that winters in coastal Central America and Mexico and migrates to areas ranging from the coast of California to southern British Columbia in summer/fall;

Central North Pacific stock that winters in the Hawaiian Islands and migrates to northern British Columbia/ Southeast Alaska and Prince William Sound west to Kodiak; and Western North Pacific stock that winters near Japan and probably migrates to waters west of the Kodiak Archipelago (the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands) in summer/fall. There is some mixing between these populations, though they are still considered distinct stocks.

Threats

Humpback whales face a series of threats including:

entanglement in fishing gear

Whale watch harassment

Habitat impacts

Harvest

Humpbacks can become entangled in fishing gear, either swimming off with the gear or becoming anchored. We have observed incidental "take" of humpback whales in the California/ Oregon swordfish and thresher shark drift gillnet fishery. Potential entanglement from gear from several fisheries can occur on their long migration from Hawaii to Alaska. Humpbacks in Hawaii have been observed entangled in long line gear, crab pots, and other non-fishery-related lines.

Inadvertent ship strikes can injure or kill humpbacks. Whale watching vessels may stress or even strike whales. The central North Pacific stock is the focus of a whale-watching industry on their wintering grounds in the Hawaiian Islands. The feeding aggregation in southeast Alaska is also the focus of a developing whale-watching industry that may impact whales in localized areas.

Shipping channels, fisheries, and aquaculture may occupy or destroy humpback whale aggregation areas. Recreational use of marine areas, including resort development and increased boat traffic, may displace whales that would normally use that area. In Hawaii, acoustic impacts from vessel operation, oceanographic research using active sonar, and military operations are also of increasing concern.

..they all do, I guess.

This stone reminded me of Lou Reed's song, "Dime Store Mystery", which he wrote about Andy Warhol's death. Here are the lyrics..

"He was lying banged and battered, skewered and bleeding

talking crippled on the Cross

Was his mind reeling and heaving hallucinating

fleeing what a loss

The things he hadn't touched or kissed his senses

slowly stripped away

Not like Buddha not like Vishnu

life wouldn't rise through him again

I find it easy to believe

That he might question his beliefs

The beginning of the Last Temptation

Dime Story Mystery

The duality of nature, Godly nature,

human nature splits the soul

Fully human, fully divine and divided

the great immortal soul

Split into pieces, whirling pieces, opposites

attract

From the front, the side, the back

the mind itself attacks

I know the feeling, I know it from before

Descartes through Hegel belief is never sure

Dime Store Mystery, Last Temptation

I was sitting drumming thinking thumping pondering

the Mysteries of Life

Outside the city shrieking screaming whispering

the Mysteries of Life

There's a funeral tomorrow

at St. Patrick's the bells will ring for you

Ah, what must you have been thinking

when you realized the time had come for you

I wish I hadn't thrown away my time

on so much Human and so much less Divine

The end of the Last Temptation

The end of a Dime Store Mystery..."
