Scientific name: Pseudophryne pengilleyi
Common name: Northern Coroboree Frog
This species is conventionally accepted (AFD 2012). Previously included in the Southern Corroboree Frog (Pseudophryne corroboree) complex (Cogger 1983 cited in Wells & Wellington 1985), the Northern Corroboree Frog was described as a new species due to its different appeareance and distribution (Wells & Wellington 1985) based on the work by Pengilley (e.g. Pengilley 1971, 1971a, 1973, 1992). Differences between the species' include:
- colour-pattern and morphology (Osborne et al. 1996; Pengilley 1966, 1992), the lime-yellow and black pattern of the Northern Corroboree Frog tends to be less brilliant than that of the Southern Corroboree Frog (Cogger 2000)
- distribution, the Northern Corroboree Frog occurs in the Brindabella Ranges (Namadgi National Park (NP), Brindabella NP), northern Koscuiszko NP and adjacent state forests, whereas the Southern Corroboree Frog occurs in central Koscuiszko NP (Osborne 1989)
- considerable genetic divergence (Osborne & Norman 1991; Roberts & Maxson 1989)
- skin biochemistry (Daly et al. 1990).
The Northern Coroboree Frog's ventral surface is boldly marked with black, yellow and white blotches. A large flat femoral gland is present on each hind limb, and the inner metatarsal tubercle is low and round. Adults reach a length of between 25–30 mm (Cogger 2000).
The Northern Coroboree Frog occurs in two populations, one in the Bogong Mountains/Fiery Range, NSW, the other in the Brindabella Ranges in the ACT (Osborne 1989). Local extinctions have resulted in severe fragmentation (Hunter 2013).
The Fiery Range population occurs from Yarrangobilly to Buccleuch State Forest (SF) at 850–1520 m above sea level (Osborne 1989; Pietsch 2002 pers. comm.). The Brindabella Range population occupies the area from California Flats to Mt Bimberi at 1090–1840 m above sea level and is made up of two subpopulations (Osborne 1989), each represented by frogs that are slightly genetically different (Osborne & Norman 1991). The southern subpopulation is found only in the subalpine zone (above about 1400 m), occurring along the Bimberi Ranges from near the summit of Mt Bimberi northward to Ginini Flats (ACT Government 1997c). The northern subpopulation occurs further north at lower altitudes along the Brindabella Ranges from Bushrangers Creek in the ACT northward to near California Flats in NSW (ACT Government 1997c; Osborne et al. 1999).
The Northern Corroboree Frog disappeared from 40% of its range in the 2000s, declines in the Brindabella Range were more severe (Hunter 2013). Examination of museum records indicate that the species was recorded from Snowy Flats, Ginini Flats, Bulls Head, Lees Spring, Coree Flats, California Flats and Hume Sawmill (Osborne et al. 1999). In 1989. the species was still present at most of these sites but absent from Hume Sawmill (at the northern extremity of its range), but common throughout the Fiery Ranges and Bogong Mountains (Osborne 1989). (Osborne 1989). Between 1994–1998 the species was absent from the Yarrangobilly-Peppercorn Hill area (Osborne et al. 1999).
The extent of occurrence for the species declined by 40% in to 2000s to 550 km² (Hunter 2013). The Brindabella Range population is estimated to have an area of occupancy of 1 km² and is exhibiting ongoing declines (Hunter 2013). A number of sites have become locally extinct, which indicates area of occupancy declines (Hunter 2013).
Surveys for the Northern Coroboree Frog includes:
- Fiery Ranges and Bogong Mountains, mainly along vehicle tracks, between 1994–1998 (Osborne & Hunter unpubl. data in Osborne et al. 1999)
- extensive surveys of the Brindabella and Bimberi Ranges, between 1994–1998 (Osborne & Hunter unpubl. data in Osborne et al. 1999)
Monitoring of Northern Coroboree Frog populations includes:
- annual monitoring of the number of calling males at more than 80 breeding sites, some of which have been monitored since the mid 1990s (NSW DECCW 2010q)
- a two year program of pitfall trapping at Ginini Flats in the ACT (Osborne 1990b)
- a four year monitoring program at Coree Flats in the ACT (Pengilley 1992).
An estimate of the total number of adults present in the Northern Corroboree Frog's entire range is 1000 to 5000 individuals (Frogs Australia Network 2005d). The two Brindabella Northern Corroboree Frog populations are in critically low abundance and occur at eleven locations (Hunter 2013; NSW DECCW 2010q). In 2011, 64 males were recorded at the two populations (57 in the north and seven in the south) (Hunter 2013). Declines in the late 1990s were recorded at Ginini Flats (Osborne et al. 1999; Pietsch 2002 pers. comm.) and Coree Flats (Pietsch 2002 pers. comm.). The Fiery population persists in greater abundance, and over a larger range (100 locations), however significant declines and range contractions have occurred in this population (Hunter 2013; NSW DECCW 2010q).
The Northern Coroboree Frog is known from Namadgi NP, Brindabella NP, Kosciuszko NP, Bimberi Nature Reserve, Buccleuch SF, Bondo SF, Micalong SF and Wee Jasper SF (ACT Government 1997c).
The Northern Coroboree Frog is restricted to montane and subalpine woodland, heathland and grassland above 850 m above sea level (Osborne 1991). The species breeds in pools and seepages in Sphagnum bogs and wet heath at higher altitudes, and wet sod-tussock grassland and seepage lines in montane forest at lower altitudes (Osborne 1990b; Pengilley 1966). It shows a strong tendency to breed in ephemeral water bodies that are dry during the non-breeding season (Osborne 1990).
Non-breeding habitat (foraging and shelter) is adjacent to breeding sites and includes forest, sub-alpine woodland and tall heath (Pengilley 1966). Sheltering sites include dense litter, logs and rocks (Pengilley 1966).
The Northern Coroboree Frog occurs in the Alpine Sphagnum Bogs and Associated Fens ecological community, which is listed as Endangered under the EPBC Act.
The Northern Corobore Frog matures at 2–3 years (Pengilley 1992) or 3–4 years (Hunter 2013) and lives up to nine years (for the Southern Corroboree Frog, Hunter 2000). The species generation length is four years at locations below 1300 m and five years at higher altitude locations (Hunter 2013). Adult males move into breeding areas in early summer and call during January and February from small chambers in vegetation at the edge of breeding pools (Hunter 2002 pers. comm.; Osborne 1990b), for up to 70 days (Pengiley 1992). Females enter the bogs briefly to lay their eggs in terrestrial nests, then leave the breeding site (Osborne 1990b). Eggs are laid in small clutches of 16–38 eggs (Pengilley 1973), and more than one clutch can be laid a season (Pengilley 1992).
Tadpoles develop to an advanced state within the egg capsule then enter diapause, awaiting flooding of the nest to trigger hatching (Osborne 1990b). Hatching is thought to occur during autumn and winter during periods of high rainfall or snow melt. The pre-metamorphic period is critical for reproductive success, because the tadpoles and eggs are vulnerable to dessication and pool-drying at this time (ACT Government 1997c). Metamorphsis occurs between December and early February (Pengilley 1966, 1973), or 7–9 months after hatching (Pengilley 1992). At this time, individuals are 8.9 mm snout-urostylis length (which is 36.2% mean adult length) (Pengilley 1992). Very little is known about the life-history of the frogs after they leave the pools as juveniles (ACT Government 1997c). At Coree Flats, sex ratios of 1:1 were recorded in juveniles (Pengilley 1992).
Although the range of the two species' do not overlap, hybridisation between the Northern Corroboree Frog and the Southern Corroboree Frog has been recorded, but with high mortality of larvae (Osborne & Norman 1991). Infertile hybridis of the Northern Corroboree Frog and Bibron's Toadlet (Pseudophryne bibroni) have been observed at three separate location in the Fiery Range (Hunter 2013).
A two year program of pitfall trapping was conducted at Ginini Flats in the ACT. Ginini Flats is a large Sphagnum bog surrounded by Leafy Bossiaea (Bossiaea foliosa) dry heath and subalpine woodland. The results of the study indicated that at the end of the breeding season adult male and female Northern Corroboree Frogs move away from the bog, upslope into surrounding heath and woodland. The dispersal distances travelled at this time can be up to 300 m (Osborne 1990b).
The methods that have successfully been used in the past to survey the Northern Corroboree Frog are call surveys and larval sampling (UC 2003). More details on these methods are available in the Survey Guidelines for Australian Threatened Frogs (DEWHA 2010h).
Call surveys should be conducted during the known calling period of the Northern Corroboree Frog. Calling males have been heard in late January and early February (Hunter 2000; Osborne 1989) and late February for low altitude populations (Osborne pers. comm. cited in Hunter 2013). Call playback (using a tape recorder) is an effective technique for stimulating a response from male frogs. Males respond to loud shouting form the observer (Hunter 2000; Osborne 1989; Scheele 2010).
The larval period of the Northern Corroboree Frog is from August to December (Hunter 2000; Osborne 1989). Tadpoles are known to occur in bog pools and seepages (Pengilley 1973). Corroboree frogs are dark in colour, have a relatively long paddle shaped tail and grow to 30 mm total length (Anstis 2002).
The Northern Coroboree Frog is one of a number of Australian alpine amphibian species, including Alpine Tree Frog (Litoria verreauxii alpina), Southern Corroboree Frog (Pseudophryne corroboree) and Baw Baw Frog (Philoria frosti), which have experienced pronounced population declines for unknown reasons. It is likely that declines will continue through the 2010s (Hunter 2013). There is no single aspect of the field biology of these species which stands out as a feature in common that may help explain the declines (Osborne et al. 1999). Osborne and colleagues (1999) reviewed some of the possible factors contributing to population declines at high altitudes including long term weather patterns and pathogens such as the Chytrid fungus (Berger et al. 1999).
Chytridiomycosis affects the Northern Corroboree Frog throughout its range (Hunter et al. 2010). This highly virulent fungal pathogen of amphibians is capable at the minimum of causing sporadic deaths in some populations, and 100 per cent mortality in other populations (AGDEH 2006o). Chytrid fungus has been detected in some museum specimens of the species (Osborne 2001 pers. comm.). The spread of this diease is possibly facilitated by the Common Eastern Froglet (Crinia signifera) (Hunter et al. 2009).
Climate change is predicted to decrease winter and spring precipitation for the Australian Alps (Hennessey et al. 2003) that may lower spring water tables and result in pools drying earlier (Hunter 2013). Although droughts are a common in south-east Australia, climate change may increase the severity and frequency of these events (Hunter 2013).
Invasive exotic plant species occur at a number of breeding sites in the Fiery Ranges and northern Brindabella Ranges (Osborne 1990b). Blackberry (Rubus fruticosus) can completely smother and shade breeding habitat rendering it unsuitable for frogs (Osborne 1991). Infestations that may have caused localised extinction occur at Bondo SF, Micalong SF, Wee Jasper SF and Kosciuszko NP (Hunter 2013).
The Pig (Sus scrofa), the Horse (Equus equus), the Sambar Deer (Cervus unicolour) and the Fallow Deer (Dama dama) have been observed damaging habitat. Ultimately, trampling and grazing by these species cause wetland incision that alters drainage patterns and vegetation structure (Costin et al. 1959; Hunter 2013; McDougall 1989; Whinam & Chilcott 2002).
The majority of Northern Corroboree Forg habitat is intact across its range and recolonisation would be expected if threatening process were abated (Hunter 2013). Captive populations exist at Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, Healesville Sanctuary and Taronga Zoo. Re-introductions are planned for Namadgi NP (southern Brindabella population) and have commenced in Brindabella NP (northern Brindabella population) (Hunter 2013).
The Horse has been effectively controlled in the Brindabella Range (Namadgi NP), however, there has only been limited efforts to control the pest in Kosciuszko NP and adjacent state forests (Hunter 2013). Targeted Blackberry control has been undertaken, although mapping of infestations in Fiery Range is required prior to undertaking a strategic control program (Hunter 2013). A number of other conservation measure have been undertaken, including (NSW OEH 2012j):
- systematic surveys in the Brindabella Ranges
- annual monitoring
- various research projects
- development and implementation of effective captive breeding protocols
- development and implementation of forest operation prescriptions.
The Southern Corroboree Frog and Northern Corroboree Frog National Recovery Plan (NSW OEH 2012j) outlines a strategy of consolidating current knowledge and recovery efforts for the Northern Corroboree Frog, and developing effective management actions that will increase the distribution and abundance of the species in the wild. The plan also include forest prescriptions for populations occuring in Bondo SF and Micalong SF (NSW OEH 2012j). Further surveys are required in the Fiery Range population to identify and accurately map occupied breeding habitat (NSW OEH 2012j). Eight populations are planned to be enclosed by horse exclusion plots (Hunter 2013).
Management documents relevant to the Northern Corroboree Frog are at the start of the profile.

Scotty McCreery Feuds With American Airlines … Because of the Red Sox?
Scotty McCreery was all set to see his beloved Boston Red Sox at the White House today, but it all went wrong, thanks to American Airlines.
Scotty McCreery was all set to see his beloved Boston Red Sox at the White House today, but it all went wrong, thanks to American Airlines.
Shane Victorino had two hits and four runs batted in, and the Red Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-1, in Boston on Wednesday night to win their third World Series in 10 years.
After a 162-game regular season and some thrilling postseason action, the World Series is finally upon us. This year, the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox have the honor of battling for Major League Baseball's crown. But who will win it all?
Last night turned out to be the final game of the World Series when the San Francisco Giants defeated the Detroit Tigers and took the title of World Series champs 2012. Unfortunately one sports reporter didn't have quite the luck the Giants did when he took a foul ball to the leg in between camera shots.
Marco Scutaro's line drive single scored Ryan Theriot with the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th inning, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Detroit Tigers, 4-3, on Sunday night in Detroit to complete a four-game sweep of the 2012 World Series.
The San Francisco Giants took a 2 games to none series lead with a 2-0 win over Detroit in Game 2 of the World Series Thursday night. Brandon Crawford grounded into a double play to score the first round in the 7th inning and Hunter Pence drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the 8th inning for the Giants.

Good Questions: What to do with my fan?
Dean's got a problem with a big fan:
Ugh, help!
My studio apartment is absolutely perfect, except for one thing: the hideous ceiling fan! It's much too large for my small space and looks silly with the three big lamps that hang from it. I'm more of a mid-century modern girl and the fan's Victorian "charms" do absolutely nothing for me. Here's the tough part...I rent! What's a girl to do??
Link To All Good Questions
Hi Dean, hm... this is a good question! We recommend first, finding out just how attatched (no pun intended) the landlord is about the fan. Perhaps they'll be willing to replace it with a more contemporary fan (if you even use it) or maybe just a simple light fixture. Sometimes, landlords don't care what you do as long as you leave the space just as it was when you got it- this could mean that you could theoretically, take it down, and replace it with something more to your taste, (of course you would want to hang on to the original, and when you move, just put it back up. Although, admittedly, that can be a hassle.) Another crazy idea could be to remove the fan blades, and put up a large drum shade to cover it? Does anyone have any other suggestions for Dean?
14 Comments
i rent too and i went with the "i'm going to change out the fan and put back what was there when i leave" option. of course, i've been in the same apt for 10 years and by the time i leave, i doubt that my landlord will even remember the hideous fixture that was there when i moved in. nevertheless, it's stored away til then.
oh, i like the suggestion about the drum shade...that might be a good, inexpensive option until i could afford to replace it with something a bit smaller and more modern.
also, i just have to say that the photo above was taken on moving-in day. im horribly embarassed by how messy and bare the place is! ;)
thanks, Apartment Therapy!!
I wish someone would round up all landlords and give them a class in "less is more." Ceiling fans are great. There's no need to tart them up with contrasting Victorian-look accents and rattan inserts or render them in brushed aluminum for a more "contemporary" look. It doesn't make them prettier or more desirable, it makes them look like they are owned by a person with no taste. I was apartment hunting recently and by the end of the search, I wanted to take a sledge hammer along with me to destroy every bad celing fan I saw in the spirit of public service.
I had the same problem and asked my landlord if I could remove the fan and replace it when I left. She said it was no problem as long as I used their electrician and covered the costs - I think it cost $60 to the electrician and $100 for the new fixture. I also took the opportunity to add dimmers. That was 4 years ago and well worth the investment if you plan to stay in your place for a couple of years.
On a side note, the landlord said that she had never had a reinstalled ceiling fan work properly, so she told me to toss it - I didn't even have to take up precious closet space with a stored fan.
hey, you guys are awesome!
thanks for the encouragement...i love ceiling fans, but i might take the blades off and try a drum shade first...but if i miss the breeze too much, i'll definiately spring for a new fan. my landlords are pretty relaxed, so im sure they'll give me the go-ahead.
on that note...does anyone have any tips for nice, simple, small-ish, ceiling fans?
If you use the fan, check out the home stores for a more contemporary version. If not, get a drum light fixture which you can find pretty cheaply. I've installed both fan and light fixture in my rental. It's really pretty easy to do as long as you MAKE SURE the juice to the outlet is off AT THE FUSE BOX....
hey dean- keep us posted on what you end up doing and how it turns out!
oh, i will for sure!
and you'll see me in next year's Smallest Coolest, when i'm all settled in :)
mcQuaidLA - you would love the ceiling fan that came with my new place. It has faux granite blades. Yes, faux granite. I put in the contract that the sellers were welcome to take it with them and they declined. :)
AiC: it beats real granite, no? (in that context, anyway!)
A few years ago, I bought some cool ceiling fans from Target. Unlike the gaudy ones at Home Depot, these were white, streamlined and modern looking. Even better, they were only $50 or so.
update: i found a big drum shade at Target that was missing it's lamp, so i bought it for $2. i took the blades off the fan and rigged the shade around the fixture, and it looks aright! the shade is too small though, and i'd like to find something more proper this week...any suggestions on where i could find big, deep drum shades? and maybe even with a pattern?
Last week, someone on here said that if you replace a light fixture in a rental, the new fixture becomes the landlord's property, and if you switch it back when you leave, they could sue you.... sounded crazy to me, but what do I know?! Has anyone heard of this (or do you remember who posted that)?
I tried to install a ceiling fan once, using the the "black, green, white" theory of wiring. When I removed the circa 1940 light fixture there were only thick, black cord-coated wires.
If you're in a older building, you may need an electrician after all.

Bike Louisville
LouisvilleKY.gov Links
Louisville has a long history of bicycling and a strong heritage of both recreational and functional cycling. Though the Mayor's Hike, Bike & Paddle is gaining popularity, with over 9,000 thousand participants at the most recent event, it is not the first - nor the largest - ride of its kind in Louisville. In October of 1897, over 10,000 people rode from Downtown Louisville to Iroquois Park (then Jacobson Park) via 3rd St. and Southern Parkway. This is the same route that today's Hike and Bike sometimes takes. By some estimates, up to 50,000 gathered to either participate in or observe the event.One summer day in that same year, nearly 3,000 cyclists of all types were seen making the morning commute through the corner of 4th St. and Walnut St. (now Muhammad Ali Boulevard). Metro is in the process of performing its latest commuter bicycle traffic counts - including some near this same location - today.
For more details and interesting stories on Louisville's bicycling heritage, visit the web page on the History of the Louisville Bicycle Club. Though cycling - especially commuter cycling - doesn't hold the same place in our transportation culture today, it has a place in the hearts and memories of our citizens, and - as these stories remind us - of the city itself. Events like the Hike & Bike and Bike to Work Day harken back to an age where bicyclists were the primary means of transportation in Louisville. Every day you can see more and more people - though on notably more high-tech bicycles - riding to work, school, and the store in Louisville. These new pioneers give us hope for a future in which Louisville will, in the words of Mayor Jerry Abramson, "reclaim its heritage as a center for bicycling."Photos courtesy of the University of Louisville Photographic Archives.

Inspired By: Stainless Steel Kitchen Islands
Kitchen Inspiration
There's a reason stainless steel is a common kitchen material: it's non-porous, easy to clean and disinfect, and impervious to heat, spills, stains, and rust. While butcher block rolling islands might seem like a go-to, I think I prefer the industrial, no-fuss look of a stainless steel island instead. Here are a few examples to inspire you if you're thinking of getting one yourself:
Do you have a stainless steel island? How do you like it?

We had the FLYTTA from IKEA and loved it. It had tons of space on the lower shelves for bigger pots and pans and cleanup was very easy. We put a very large cutting board on top for an almost "butcher block" countertop feel.
Hi omoriala!
I have FLYTTA too and love it but find that it wobbles a bit. Does yours do this and if not, how do you make it stable? Thanks!
I believe mine is the same as the first one - it's from Costco and was $110; I called the company to add a second shelf which they shipped to me for I believe $30. It was a bit of a trick to put on the two shelves - we had to put them on at the same time then shimmy them into place.
We've had it for two years now because we have almost no counter space, and it's been wonderful. It's not the thickest top, but for our purposes it's done well (the Le Creuset never is on it, for example).

text: One of the most common digestive complaints nowadays is constipation. It varies greatly between different people, as each person's bowel movements differ. Rate of defecation is not in itself a problem, as infrequent defecation without problems is not abnormal. Constipation may be prevented through natural ways like: having enough exercise and adequate rest, increasing the intake of fluids (preferably water) and fibrous foods. Dietary fiber may be achieved by consuming more vegetables and fruits. The use of laxatives is to be discouraged as this may result in bowel action becoming dependent upon their use. As much as possible, every one must be knowledgeable about constipation and for its earlier prevention before he/she suffers from the consequences of this condition.

The annoying thing is, this is a simple thing to have foresight into and prepare for. You load test the system. You insure things work properly internally (which seems to be the problem I've been having. . . authentication issues, password reset problems, etc) before something big like this happens. It's difficult, but straight forward for anyone who's been doing web commerce for any period of time. Why Blizzard hasn't done it (which I say purely based on the evidence provided by the store being buggered) is a mystery to me.

Akron, OH (Sports Network) - The speculation has been building and on Thursday night on TSN at 9pm et/6pm pt, two-time reigning MVP LeBron James will disclose his decision of where he'll play next.
Early Thursday morning, sources told ESPN's Chris Broussard that James will join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami, barring a late change of heart.
The free agency signing moratorium was lifted at 12:01 a.m. (et) Thursday. Bosh and Wade proclaimed Wednesday they would sign with the Heat with the hope of James joining them in Miami.
James interviewed with a total of six potential suitors last week, including possibly staying with his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers. He could also join Amare Stoudemire in New York or head to the Windy City to start a new chapter with the Chicago Bulls. Two other options remain, although they're not likely - play for the New Jersey Nets or Los Angeles Clippers - the other two teams the superstar met with last week when free agency began.
The 25-year-old James has played for the Cavs his entire seven-year career and stands to make more money playing for his hometown team should be accept a max deal. The Cavaliers can offer James a six-year, $128 million contract, while other teams can give him a maximum of five years and $99 million. But that may not be the driving force for James, who has come up short of winning a championship.
As far as the announcement is concerned, Maverick Carter, CEO of LRMR Marketing, said James will formally announce where he will play next season and beyond on a show called "The Decision." Proceeds from the show will be donated to the Boys & Girls Club of America.
"Due to the unprecedented attention and interest surrounding LeBron's decision, we have decided to make this announcement on national television," Carter said. "By doing so we have generated funds that will be given to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. LeBron has a longstanding commitment to giving back to the community, and has worked with the Boys & Girls Clubs in cities across the country."
James, who was second in the league at 29.7 points per game last season, also averaged 8.6 assists and 7.3 rebounds. the six-time All-Star, 2004 Rookie of the Year, a two-time All-Star Game MVP and 2008 scoring champion, hasn't tipped his hand yet as to which team he'll join. Reports surfaced Wednesday night that James would be at the Boys & Girls Club in Greenwich, Connecticut when the decision is made.
New Cavaliers coach Byron Scott visited James' skills camp in Akron on Wednesday, but did not speak with the superstar. Cavs players Danny Green, Jamario Moon and Christian Eyenga scrimmaged with James on Wednesday.
The Bulls added a potential teammate for James Wednesday when they reportedly landed forward Carlos Boozer with a five-year contract.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

More Doctor Who Missing Episodes? The PodKast Discusses…
The possibility of yet more Doctor Who missing episodes being unveiled has tickled the podKast team and so this week Christian Cawley and James McLean discuss the current rumours concerning the BFI and Marco Polo, as well as spending a few moments to reflect upon the amazing story behind Philip Morris.
Meanwhile, we also get excited about The Light at the End, Big Finish's thrilling 50th anniversary story that pairs Doctors up in extremely interesting and entertaining ways, Mark Gatiss' hugely anticipated An Adventure in Space and Time and we also discuss Nightmare of Eden and Genesis of the Daleks (plus more than a few minutes on Davros) for our recommendations.
Finally, listen out for mention of Back to Frank Black, a charity book that recalls the superb US TV series Millenium, starring Lance Henriksen – James was involved with the book's development!

6 Responses to More Doctor Who Missing Episodes? The PodKast Discusses…
I would bet, that if more lost episodes have been found, the BBC might be taking a policy of only announcing them closer to when they expect to release them, either on iTunes or DVD, rather than announcing things like the recovered episodes of Galaxy 4 and Underwater Menace, and then the fans waiting years for them to be made available. Just my theory, anyway.
I was unlucky enough to be born in the gap between Tom Baker and Davison, so there was no Doctor Who airing during the time of my birth. However, I was born the day before the wedding of Charles and Diana. My mom remembers watching it in the hospital.
The #1 song while I was born was Rick Springfield – "Jessie's Girl" (US charts, since I'm American).
I am a bit confused with the BFI thing – there's one on Dec 21st in London, but I keep hearing people mentioning a similar thing near Edinburgh with a Scottish (no!!) theme to the recoveries and people thinking a missing Doc Who will be aired there. Things move quite quickly now, but your podcast was tactful and honouring to the work that has gone on. I think the reticence displayed about commenting too much on the recoveries was well done and reflected the feeling of not saying things that might upset people.
And the "happy birthday" bit at the end was fine!
How outrageously and scandalously typical of you mid-1970s baby boomers. You missed The Golden Age and try to conceal your denial by telling yourselves whopping fibs. Such as "there were good things about 80s Who" or "Davros wasn't only good in Genesis."
Does it really matter why Davros changed from scientist to leader? He may have been unhinged throughout but he changed from an intelligent villain with a real philosophy into a ranting nutter.
So ner with knobs on.
Nicely done gentlemen, thought your discussion on the ongoing missing episodes drama was spot on with what you said and more importantly with what you didn't say. I thought hearing you have a chat about the subject would make for a interesting podcast and it was, thank you. Am sure you'll want to re-visit this topic in time. As things get resolved and more info and details come out into the open, as inevitably they will. Time will tell it always does ( sorry couldn't resist ) and for the 28th Happy birthday Matt, Happy birthday James and like you most importantly Happy birthday to the late great IAN MARTER.
It's on the list, aye. Been chatting it through with some of my finest writers in fact last week….

Iridium Names Development Partners
Iridium has named suppliers to help it build and deploy the Iridium Next satellite constellation over the next several years. Partners will include Boeing, General Dynamics, Avaliant, KinetX, MicroSat Systems and Trident Sensors. The Next network is predicted to cost around $2.2 billion and will consist of 66 low-earth-orbit satellites plus a dozen or so spares. Iridium plans to offer high-speed-data, voice and text messaging services once the satellites are launched, expected to occur between 2013 and 2017. The Iridium Next network will use the same cross-link architecture as the current Iridium constellation, but it will employ IP technology. Iridium last month also put out tenders for additional partners interested in joining the development team. The next step will involve finding the funding to build the satellites.

Hard To Predict
Will the year 2010 present the risk management challenges that 2009 did? So far, it looks like it could. In less than two weeks, March corn futures prices have ranged about $0.57.
Although currently overshadowed by the supply/demand estimates, other factors also impact market uncertainty, volatility and risk. Some of these are energy prices, econo-mic conditions, value of the dollar, speculation/investment, world grain supply/demand, 2010 acreage, weather and politics.
These factors have contributed to complicated, risky markets that are difficult to predict. It is easy to get focused on one or more factors that seem to be currently driving the markets, then another factor unexpectedly influences trading and dramatically changes market action. Trying to outguess the markets appears more futile and costly than ever.
Significant Market Changes?
The sharp price declines triggered technical sell signals. The penetration of short-term uptrends, areas of price support, moving averages, etc., are signals of a possible market turnaround. The problem, of course, is that the rapid price drop results in significantly lower and disappointing prices when compared with recent prices.
However, futures prices in most cases still result in profitable cash bids that are within or near the USDA's projected price ranges. Downside risk should be recognized before rejecting adding to sales, especially if a large percentage of the '09 crop is still in storage.
In spite of the price declines, new crop corn futures prices continue to offer profit potential. Although the prices are sharply lower, they result in new crop corn bids near many analysts' projections for average 2010-11 corn prices. While these are less favorable prices than only a week ago, it is hard to argue against making new crop corn sales at profitable levels. However, in spite of the downside price risks, seasonal trends and other market factors suggest that prices could recover. This, along with all of the uncertainty and volatility in the markets, suggests a cautious approach of spreading sales and protecting profits.

After seeing the Visitor Center, return to your coach and proceed to Mt Fuji's 5th Station, located about halfway up the mountain at 7,545 feet (2,300m). Take in the shrines, torii gates and shops that sell souvenirs, along with views of Mt Fuji and the surrounding lakes (subject to weather conditions). Soak in the invigorating atmosphere of 5th Station; you might even spot some climbers preparing for their adventure. Then have time for lunch. You can choose the upgrade that includes a Japanese-style lunch, or have the option to buy your own meal.
After having a bite to eat, drive to nearby Lake Ashi, located in Hakone National Park. Step aboard your boat for a short cruise across the lake. Admire the spectacular scenery of pristine waters surrounded by Mt Komagatake, Mt Fuji and other mountains.
Disembark from the boat and head to the Mt Komagatake Ropeway, an aerial tram that takes you from the shores of Lake Ashi to the top of Mt Komagatake. Have time to walk around the mountain top and take in amazing views of Lake Ashi, the Owakudani volcanic valley and majestic Mt Fuji.
After visiting Hakone, transfer by coach to the evening bullet train (Shinkansen) for your return to Tokyo, where you make your own way back to your hotel.
Please note: Views around Mt Fuji are always subject to weather conditions as mountain weather is notoriously unpredictable. Visibility tends to be better during the colder months, in the early morning and late evening.

Traveler Reviews
Reviewed by: coxey, October 2014
Would recommend the tour and the Tour Guide was excellent, she could not do enough for us all.
Reviewed by: Stephen W, October 2014
Very worthwhile trip - not to be missed if you visit near this area. Finding bus station entrance at Hamamatscuto Station was a bit time consuming - best done up front. We were lucky and had a view of the mountain top just before reaching 5th Station after which clouds obscured the whole mountain. Chances of great views are somewhat problomatic. Lake and cable car rides were enjoyable (again no views of Fuji due to clouds / mist). Bullet train was busy but again something I feel 'has to be done'. Very well organised trip.

Getting Through the Week
I like the way I look with a little hair around my face; sometimes a standard ponytail is too severe. So a sorta-side pony is my solution. It also reminds me of my childhood; my mom spent many mornings pulling my hair into a very high ponytail, pulled across my head, firmly anchored on the side of my head. It was kind of an
80's signature for me.
The clothes:
Is It tunic- Lane Bryant
Leggings -Lane Bryant
Black cardigan - Gap
Shoes - Payless.com
Siver hoops - Lia Sophia
Crocodile bracelet - gift from Kimberly

VERY cute. I love that color on you.ReplyDelete
Ah yes, the 1980's "ponytail off to the side" as I would call it every morning while my mom was doing my hair. Loved it!ReplyDelete
I rocked that same outfit on Tuesday based on your suggestion. Loved it, so comfortable.ReplyDelete
that is such a great colour! hope you`ll have a great weekend :) xxReplyDelete
I love this tunic on you! I really wish LB still had it available, I would buy one in an instant!ReplyDelete
I'm a fan of the side ponytail as well...I wear it quite often!
I do the same thing with a side ponytail. I set my ponytail ever so slightly to the side when I feel like I want a little hair to show, but I still want my hair pulled back. I struggle with keeping it from loking too young. It makes me happy to see it on you b/c if you do it too, then I know it's a good style even though I'm not 12. :)ReplyDelete
I understand exactly what you mean, Tina. I'm at the age where I sometimes wonder if I'm dressing too young. But since I'm not using Britney Spears or Miley Cyrus as my fashion inspiration...I figure it's ok!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the comment - it'll appear here once I review it. The helps keep the spam bots from junking up the comments (and makes sure I get to read and respond to comments, too!)

Welcome in the Name of Lord Jesus Christ. This site is dedicated to defending the veracity of Lord Jesus Christ's words and assisting believers in gaining an understanding of the events that occured in the first century AD.
Rev D.H.Hume
Re 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants
things which must shortly come to pass;
and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Students of the scriptures who expound passages with the intention of preaching it to their followers have a responsibility to be faithful to their followers. The Book of Revelation, which is full of symbolism drawn from the Old Testament, has become the source of many modern controversial Apocalyptic scenarios. Because gullible people rely on the leadership to teach them, they become indoctrinated with plausible falsehood.
To the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Ge 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and
let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,
over all the earth
, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
It is time that the body of Christ began to show concern for our common global habitat. I have been following the coming global climate crisis for a while now and am deeply concerned for the future of my grandchildren and yours.
The scientist's who run computer models on Climate changes to predict the future of the planet keep revising the time frames , they are now saying we are 5 years away from a disaster. Many Christians think that the Rapture will save them from it, I personally believe that they are deluded, having heard so many false dates and predictions in my walk with Christ over the last 28 years. Our failure to understand the historical setting and context of the Gospels has led us to swallow everything that the modern dispensationalist preach from the pulpits.
We all are responsible to ensure that the future generations have a habitable planet to live in. We have lived in an age of massive technological advances, some of which that have eased our lifestyles , having paid scant regard to the cost and damage to the environment our comfort has led to.
No matter what your end time views are , you cannot continue to live in the clouds while the planet itself is screaming for attention! I am blowing a trumpet in Zion to mobilize the church into action, and if you have any concern and love for your neighbors you will raise a voice of thunder in your multitudes , by contacting others and arousing them from their slumbers and inactivity.
I don't care what church you belong to , so please wake up and awaken your neighbors. How can you sleep with the knowledge of millions dying because of first world greed and opulence.
Please become aware of the imminent danger we are in by visiting this website :

Currently I'm a Lecturer in Philosophy in the Department of Humanities at Indiana University Kokomo. Additionally I'm Director of the Honors Program, Director of the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program, and manage the Philosophy minor and act as faculty advisor for the Humanities B.A. degree.
My areas of specialization in philosophy include Eastern philosophy and religion, phenomenology, ethics and philosophy of human nature. I also have areas of competence in environmental ethics, contemporary continental philosophy, philosophy of religion and philosophy of technology. In addition to teaching in philosophy I also co-teach a Freshman Learning community each year that introduces first year students to the relationship between the sciences and humanities.
I have a wide range of interests in philosophy beyond my specializations and competencies including the scholarship of teaching and learning, aesthetics, philosophy of time, love and friendship, philosophy of human nature and philosophy of woman. Basically I consider myself a generalist in philosophy and will happily teach and research in nearly any area of philosophy.

For 70 years, this charmingly dank tavern paneled in faux wood and strung with lights from Christmases past has attracted an eclectic Village set to its long wooden bar: tourists, bohemians, Dixieland-jazz fans and the odd drag queen. Free live jazz and blues nightly make the two-drink minimum worthwhile (regulars go for the dry martinis).
