Justification: A small (to ~60 cm total length) moderately rare (M.F.W. Stehmann pers. obs.) softnose skate endemic to the Southwest Atlantic off southern Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina (23° to 45°S). A continental shelf species recorded from depths of 19 to 181 m whose range is facing intensive fishing pressure. Demand for skates is increasing on an international scale, resulting in growing fishing pressure on skate species along coastal and continental shelf waters of Argentina and Uruguay. In these countries, Atlantoraja spp. are mainly taken as bycatch in coastal demersal multi-species fisheries. Since 2000, however, specific targeting of skates has occurred. Fishing pressure is also known to be intense across the species' range in southern Brazil, where demersal trawl fisheries operate and skates are landed as part of multi-species fisheries. Species-specific catch data are not available for A. platana, however, significant declines have been shown for both the similar-sized A. cyclophora and the larger A. castelnaui, both of which are sympatric with A. platana. Given heavy fishing pressure, increasing demand and documented declines, both A. castelnaui and A. cyclophora has been previously assessed as threatened species. As such, A. platana is assessed as Vulnerable as, while specific data are lacking, it is reasonable to assume that it too will have faced similar declines in the past and suspect that it will face similar declines in the future. Furthermore, it is apparently absent from localities where it previously occurred due to habitat degradation, mainly from pollution. Continued monitoring, species-specific catch data and improved management are urgently needed. |
Range Description: | A Southwest Atlantic endemic species, distributed from 23°S to 45°S. |
Countries occurrence: | Native: Argentina (Buenos Aires, Chubut, Rio Negro, Santa Cruz); Brazil (Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, São Paulo); Uruguay |
FAO Marine Fishing Areas: | Native: Atlantic – southwest |

Population: | Moderately rare skate (M.F.W. Stehmann pers. obs.) with patchy occurrence across its range. It is rare north of 26°S. |
Current Population Trend: | Decreasing |
Additional data: |
Habitat and Ecology: | Benthic on clay, mud and sand substrates on the continental shelf at depths of 19 to 181 m (Menni and Stehmann 2000). Females mature at 45 to 50 cm total length (TL) and males mature at 47 to 53 cm TL (M.F.W. Stehmann pers. obs., unpubl. ISH records 'W. Herwig' expeditions). The maximum recorded size for A. platana is 73.4 cm TL (Zaro 1979). Like other skates, this species is oviparous. It has an annual reproductive cycle, with an egg-laying season from January to September, with a peak in January (Peres and Vooren 1993). Food includes fish, penaeid crustaceans and cephalopods (Peres and Vooren 1993). |
Systems: | Marine |
Major Threat(s): |
Trawl fishing along the distribution and in the habitat of this species is intense, while demand for skates is increasing in the international market. In the coastal and continental shelf waters of Argentina and Uruguay this has resulted in rising fishing pressure on all skate species. A. platana is taken mainly as bycatch in fisheries for coastal demersal species (multi-species fisheries) and in Argentina the Atlantoraja species has been known to be landed since 1994. There are only seven records of A. plantana from 1993 to 2005 on the Argentine shelf (A. Massa pers. comm.) however species specific data were not previously recorded. Since 2000, however, one vessel has been specifically targeting skates. For these fishing activities, species-specific landing statistics are generally unavailable as all species of batoids are recorded as "unidentified rays and skates". In Argentina, declared landings of skates and rays increased significantly during the 1990s from 910 MT in 1993 to 5,701.2 MT in 1994 and to 12,443.7 MT in 1996 (Chiaramonte 1998). Landings continue to rise and were 17,465 t in 2003 (Massa et al. 2004). Fishing pressure is also known to be intense across the species' range in southern Brazil, where demersal trawl fisheries operate and skates are landed as part of multi-species fisheries. While species-specific data are required from southern Brazil, Amorim et al. (1997) stated that in the pink shrimp fishery off São Paulo, Brazil the catch per unit effort of discarded batoids (4.6 kg per hour) is approximately three times higher than that of the target species (1.4 kg per hour). Perez and Wahrlich (2005) noted an overall discard rate of 69% for skates taken in the deepwater monkfish gillnet fishery off southern Brazil (between 22°´44 and 34°21´S). While, Atlantoraja castelnaui and A. cyclophora were identified amongst these skates, A. platana was not. Perez and Wahrlich (2005) surveyed between depths of 132 to 607 m and so the interaction of A. platana with this fishery is likely minimal. Menni and Stehmann (2000) note that the species was historically recorded from Punta Lara, near La Plata in Argentina but that its more recent absence from this locality is likely due to pollution. |
Conservation Actions: | No conservation measures exist in Brazil. In Argentina, the only management strategy for skates is an annual total catch for skates distributed in the coastal waters of Buenos Aires Province. For 2003 this was 4,000 MT. Continued monitoring, improved fisheries data collection and species-specific catch data are needed across the species' range. Given the increasing international demand for skate products, and increased exploitation in the Southwest Atlantic, trade management measures are also essential (Perez and Wahrlich 2005). |

Rear sway bar
Ok so im going to be cleaning and changing my front and rear differentials fluids today and i was underneith checking everything out cause i have had the death wobble a couple of times. Well i finely made my way to the rear sway bar and it was really loose on both sides. I dont think this is normal, but i went ahead and tightend them up a bit but the passanger side is still really loose compared the the drivers side. I know the death wobble is more of a known cause due to tires but ive also heard suspension can play apart of this. But anyways to get to streight to the point, is my rear sway bar suppose to be tight on both sides?
i dont see why it shouldn't be
and the vibes most likely come from unbalanced tires, or from needing a T case drop, either can be done, real cheap, so id get on that, first id go to a shop and see if they're unbalanced, and if they are id get some longer bolts for the T-case skid and then throw 1/4 inch of washer between it and the frame to lower it a bit and put the bolts back in, (make sure the Tcase and skid is supported when u unbolt it, the skid is what's holding the Tcase up!!!) |
You mean the bolts aren't tight? Replace them with new hardware if they won't tighten up. If the end licks going from the sway bar to the frame are what feels lose, replace those.
The sway bar shouldn't have an effect in death wobble. DW is more a cause from trackbar being lose, ball joints, out of balance tire or the whole suspension being out of alignment. |
Ok well I found out my rear driverside rim is bent so im going to have to get new rims. About my sway bar im going to have to get new hardware and bushings, figured id just get a main bushing kit and replace all the main ones while im down there. About the t-case drop im going to check into that, i know thats something ive been needing to do with this lift. Thanks for the help guys.

Check out these sneak peek clips of the next "Pretty Little Liars" episode, titled "Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Inferno." First, Spencer hasn't told the girls about Toby and what she has found out about him. She definitely seems to be withdrawing into herself, but hopefully she'll come clean soon. Liars gotta stick together with the "A" business.
Meanwhile, Emily's bio notebook appears to have a conversation written in it between Alison and someone whose handwriting they sort-of recognize. And Ali is talking about Toby to this said someone. Dun dun dun.
Finally, Emily shows Spencer the written conversation, which mentions a "beach hottie" that Ali was involved with and possibly scared of. But Spencer's pretty much over it.
Do you think this is just the start of Spencer's downward spiral? Is she going to tell the Liars about Toby?
"Pretty Little Liars" airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

Imagine a community that gives its citizens more choices about where they live and how they get around. Instead of policies that promote urban sprawl, how about a community that encourages more compact development, saving infrastructure costs and accessibility. Why not consider a town built around jobs, schools, and services supporting walking and biking in daily life, reducing obesity and other health risks.
This past week in the Energy committee I heard a bill introduced by Senator Scott Dibble (SF 657) which recommends "improved land use planning and development strategies as an essential step to ensure that we protect our natural resources and quality of life." The bill is based on a recommendation by the Minnesota Climate Change Advisory (MCCAG) in its final report.
Employees, residents, and students in cities like Northfield want commuter rail or transportation that makes sense. That means transportation options that include proximity to housing, jobs, and schools connected with bike trails, footpaths, and pedestrian friendly routes. Development is springing up around current light rail and commuter rail projects. Sensible communities allow resident to drive less – saving more on gas, parking, and automobile purchases and repairs.
Among other things, the proposal creates incentives for metro and greater Minnesota communities to implement land use planning practices that would achieve global warming reduction goals. It would require both the Met Council and MnDOT to plan for pollution reduction and a transportation system to help achieve these goals as well as preserve more farmland and open spaces.
Building sensible communities makes sense if it indeed helps lower costs, offers more transit choices, promotes healthy lifestyles, and protects Minnesota's great outdoors for future generations by reducing global warming and air pollution. Cities, in cooperation with Counties and state government, should pursue these types of policies as they consider long range planning.
The Mayor of Elysian was overhead leaving one of the many town meetings held in District 25 over the weekend, "That was kind of fun." I couldn't agree more. It is not every Saturday that local citizens get a chance to gather to discuss the issues of the day. We discussed a variety of issues and I was impressed with the level of discussion, the interest and knowledge of the participants and the respectful tone of the meetings….even when participants took opposing views. So what did the citizens of District 25 bring to the table?
Two weeks ago, I visited Waterville, Elysian, LeCenter and Cleveland. Last Saturday, I held town meetings in Belle Plaine, LeSueur, Montgomery, and New Prague. Foremost on everyone's mind was the budget deficit and the economy. Several expressed concerns about proposed cuts and the long term effects of such cuts. Specifically, cuts to Local Government Aid, Education, and Health and Human Services seemed to garner the most attention. Most agreed that cuts will be necessary and as we move forward, prioritizing and determining the level of cuts will need to be decided. But other residents said that Minnesota may need to look at new sources of revenue to maintain basic government services and ensure a quality of life we have come to expect in Minnesota.
Several constituents in the New Prague and Belle Plaine area have concerns about the CapX2020 project. CapX2020 is a joint initiative of 11 transmission-owning utilities in Minnesota and the surrounding region to expand the electric transmission grid. The transmission lines will be built in phases and several residents have concerns about the line's route and the impact this project will have on their lives. Representative David Bly and I have introduced legislation to address some of their concerns.
Casinos, Unemployment, Nuclear power, parks and trails, pensions, and the Minnesota Health Plan were part of the agenda in several of the towns. The Green Acres legislation in 2008 also garnered much discussion. I am a co-author on a bill in the legislature that would repeal many of those changes to make sure farmland is valued for tax purposes on its agricultural value, rather than its future development potential or highest and best use value.
Many citizens shared their real life experiences at these meetings. They have expertise in farming, health care, local government, energy, education, and the environment. Dropping two fishing lines in the lake may not seem like a big deal to many, but a proposed law on that very matter prompted one resident fisherman to voice his opposition. I was happy to listen. And if this comes up for a vote on the floor of the Senate, I will consider myself a more informed legislator. Thank you, constituents, for sharing your thoughts and concerns these past few weekends. That was kind of fun.
Addressing the budget deficit will be the main issue for 2009, but what are some of the other areas that the Minnesota Senate will be focusing on as the session gets under way January 6?
• Rebuilding Minnesota's economy and protecting workers impacted by the recession
• Tax Reform and tax fairness
• Adopting Mn/DOT Bridge Reforms
• Review the costs and benefits of No Fault Auto Insurance
• Green JOBZ program
• Growing Minnesota's Bioscience industry
• Addressing Foreclosures/Neighborhood Stabilization Programs
• Meeting Long term care challenges
• Allocation of funds from Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment
• GRAD Test/Testing Reform/ Stabilize education funding
• Implement Minnesota Climate Change Advisory Group recommendations/Renewable Energy Standards
• Stranger Oriented Life Insurance
• Farmer-Lender Mediation Act Authorization extension
• Small Bonding bill
• College Affordability/College Readiness and Retention
• Juvenile Justice Initiatives/Data Privacy Issues
• Elections Law
• Role of Nuclear Energy in Minnesota's energy portfolio/Greenhouse Gas reductions
• Health Care Reform/Pharmaceutical Reform/Children's health insurance
• Minimum Wage/Consumer cost savings measures
• Pensions
• Local Government Aid reform
While this list is a partial glimpse at the range and scope of issues and topics that may be discussed this session, it is by no means an exclusive list. I am sure to be writing about the specifics of these and other policy issues as we begin our work next week.
Solving the near and long-term state budget deficits will be the primary focus of the 2009 Legislative session. State economists warn this is the longest recession since WWII and it likely will take longer for the state to emerge successfully than in past recessions. Therefore, the legislature will be focused on long-term, fiscally responsible policies that set up the state for future success. That will require a combination of government reforms, reasonable spending reductions, and a commitment to preserve the things that have made Minnesota a national leader in the past.
The state's economists attribute the steep decline to overall economic performance and the current recession, which began in December 2007. Minnesota lost more than 42,000 jobs from October 2007 to October 2008, and the state is expected to lose as many as 77,000 jobs in 2009. The key to emerging from the recession will be job creating policies that will attract new economic activity to Minnesota. Growing opportunities and jobs in the biosciences, renewable energy, and rural economic development should be a high priority. Improving the business climate and targeted investments toward job creation, such as "angel" tax credits or support for local economic development programs like the MN Investment fund can help us reach some of those goals.
Obviously, the state will need to take a close look at existing program, agencies, and expenditures, and review them using the following 3 questions:
1. Is this expenditure an appropriate governmental purpose authorized by our laws and Constitution?
2. Is this expenditure necessary, especially in difficult economic times?
3. Is this expenditure actually producing the intended result, or is there a more efficient and economical way to accomplish this legitimate state purpose?
We need to look at ways to give relief to local governments and school districts. This means taking a hard look at existing mandates and allowing those local units of government more autonomy in moving existing resources to meet existing and essential needs. We need to collaborate and coordinate for more efficient public services in areas of transportation, buying power, combined billing, delivery of service, and administration.
This will be a difficult session, but it is imperative that the Senate, House, Governor, Republicans, and Democrats all get on the same page to come up with solutions that will help lead Minnesota out of this recession. I will continue to lay out some ideas as to how we can do that in the next several weeks leading up to the January 6 session. Please feel to contact me with your ideas as well.
The Friends of the Mill Towns Trail are excited about projects that may come to fruition by this time next year. I attended a meeting last night in Dundas with some of the Trails faithful describing what's next for the trail.
There are 3 projects on the horizon. A bridge will be erected across the Cannon River in Northfield near Walgreen's connecting to an underpass of Hwy 3. Some additional trail will be built west of Cannon Falls and another bridge will be built in Faribault which will include underpass access for both Hwys. 21 and Hwy 3 north of town. This is exciting stuff for trail enthusiasts. They have worked tirelessly to raise money to complete a trail providing the missing link between Mankato and Red Wing.
Money has come from several sources. The Northfield Bike tour this past weekend, as part of the Defeat of Jesse James Day celebration, netted nearly $16,000, two thirds of which will go to the Mill Towns trail. Over 1300 riders took part. Hats off to the Northfield Rotary club for organizing the event and for their generous donations over the years to the trail group. Local initiatives and cooperation are very effective in leveraging federal dollars and grant money. The trail received a federal grant several years ago. State money from the capital bonding bill brought in about $650,000 from the last session. And the DNR, an advocate for completion of the trail, has recently come through with lottery money for the trail.
There is still much to be done. Accessing right of ways, purchasing abandoned rail, completing trail heads and facilities, and maintaining existing trail is costly and involves long term commitment. The economic and recreational benefits for towns like Dundas and Northfield are worth the effort. We should all get behind these types of partnerships.

- For the musical genre, see soul music.
A soul, – in many spiritual, philosophical, and psychological traditions – is the incorporeal identifying essence of a person, living thing, object, process, pattern or event. Many philosophical and spiritual systems teach that humans have souls, and others teach that all living things and even inanimate objects, such as rivers, or anything identifiable by any means at all, have souls; the term also functions as a synonym for spirit, mind or self; scientific and modern psychological works, in particular often consider soul as a synonym for mind.

- A mermaid has not an immortal soul, nor can she obtain one unless she wins the love of a human being. On the power of another hangs her eternal destiny. But the daughters of the air, although they do not possess an immortal soul, can, by their good deeds, procure one for themselves. We fly to warm countries, and cool the sultry air that destroys mankind with the pestilence. We carry the perfume of the flowers to spread health and restoration. After we have striven for three hundred years to all the good in our power, we receive an immortal soul and take part in the happiness of mankind. You, poor little mermaid, have tried with your whole heart to do as we are doing; you have suffered and endured and raised yourself to the spirit-world by your good deeds; and now, by striving for three hundred years in the same way, you may obtain an immortal soul.

- Antony, however, according to his custom, returned alone to his own cell, increased his discipline, and sighed daily as he thought of the mansions in Heaven, having his desire fixed on them, and pondering over the shortness of man's life. And he used to eat and sleep, and go about all other bodily necessities with shame when he thought of the spiritual faculties of the soul. So often, when about to eat with any other hermits, recollecting the spiritual food, he begged to be excused, and departed far off from them, deeming it a matter for shame if he should be seen eating by others.

- Antony ... used to say that it behooved a man to give all his time to his soul rather than his body, yet to grant a short space to the body through its necessities; but all the more earnestly to give up the whole remainder to the soul and seek its profit, that it might not be dragged down by the pleasures of the body, but, on the contrary, the body might be in subjection to the soul.
- Athanasius of Alexandria, Life of Anthony of Egypt § 45
- Go for souls and go for the worst.
- William Booth as quoted in The Life of General Booth (1913) by Hulda Friedrichs
- The hypothesis of the soul, on the other hand, has not once in all of human history been supported by good, solid scientific evidence. That's pretty surprising when you think about it. For decades, and indeed centuries, most scientists had some sort of religious beliefs, and most of them believed in the soul. So a great deal of early science was dedicated to proving the soul's existence, and discovering and exploring its nature. It wasn't until after decades upon decades of fruitless research in this area that scientists finally gave it up as a bad job, and concluded, almost unanimously, that the reason they hadn't found a soul was that there was no such thing.

- Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth." Say not, "I have found the path of the soul." Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path."

- For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
- And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell.
- Christ Jesus, in Matthew 10:28
- People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. They will practice Indian yoga and all its exercises, observe a strict regimen of diet, learn the literature of the whole world - all because they cannot get on with themselves and have not the slightest faith that anything useful could ever come out of their own souls. Thus the soul has gradually been turned into a Nazareth from which nothing good can come.

- Leoben, (Battlestar Galactica, "Reimagining").

- With his superior knowledge the entity must leave hands off. His, the entity's, only hope is to allow the personality complete independence, for it is the personality who understands more clearly than he the conditions of the particular plane upon which he existence happens. There is here no puppet, and there is no hand that moves the strings. If there were you see, you would indeed have a much more perfect world, but you would not have that one built-in prerequisite: complete as possible existence within all facets, and manipulation within all facets, of a given plane.

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)Edit
Quotes reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895).
- The human soul is like a bird that is born in a cage. Nothing can deprive it of its natural longings, or obliterate the mysterious remembrance of its heritage.
- Epes Sargent, p. 558.
- The universe, vast, beautiful, magnificent, as it is, cannot content the soul, but rouses it to more majestic thoughts. The wider view it takes of what is material, the more impatient it becomes of all material bonds. The sublimer the prospects which are opened by the universe, the more the spirit is impelled to ascend to a still sublimer being. Forever it aspires towards an infinite and immutable One as the ground of all finite and mutable existences. It can rest in His Omnipotence alone as the source, centre, sustainer, determiner of all forces.
- William Ellery Channing, p. 558.
- There is a remedy for every wrong and a satisfaction for every soul.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, p. 559.
- The strongest love which the human heart has ever felt has been that for its Heavenly Parent. Was it not then constituted for this love?
- William Ellery Channing, p. 559.
- As the flowers follow the sun, and silently hold up their petals to be tinted and enlarged by its shining, so must we, if we would know the joy of God, hold our souls, wills, hearts, and minds, still before Him, whose voice commands, whose love warns, whose truth makes fair our whole being.' God speaks for the most part in such silence only. If the soul be full of tumult and jangling voices, His voice is little likely to be heard.
- Alexander Maclaren, p. 559.
- Oh! how seldom the soul is silent, in order that God may speak.
- François Fénelon, p. 559.
- Christ bounds and terminates the vast desires of the soul; He is the very Sabbath of the soul.
- John Flavel, p. 559.
- Every thing here, but the soul of man, is a passing shadow. The only enduring substance is within. When shall we awake to the sublime greatness, the perils, the accountableness, and the glorious destinies of the immortal soul?
- William Ellery Channing, p. 559.
- It is only when we see in human souls, taken as germs of power, a future magnitude and majesty transcending all present measures, that we come into any fit conception at all of Christ's mission to the world.
- Author unidentified, p. 559.
- Go and try to save a soul, and you will see how well it is worth saving, how capable it is of the most complete salvation. Not by pondering about it, nor by talking of it, but by saving it, you learn its preciousness.
- Phillips Brooks, p. 560.
- You can throw yourselves away. You can become of no use in the universe except for a warning. You can lose your souls. Oh, what a loss is that! The perversion and degradation of every high and immortal power for an eternity! And shall this be true of any one of you? Will you be lost when One has come from heaven, traveling in the greatness of His strength, and with garments dyed in blood, on purpose to guide you home—.home to a Father's house — to an eternal home?
- Mark Hopkins, p. 560.
- Two things a master commits to his servant's care — the child and the child's clothes. It will be a poor excuse for the servant to say, at his master's return, " Sir, here are all the child's clothes, neat and clean, but the child is lost." Much so of the account that many will give to God of their souls and bodies at the great day. " Lord, here is my body; I am very grateful for it; I neglected nothing that belonged to its contents and welfare; but as for my soul, that is lost and cast away forever. I took little care and thought about it.
- John Flavel, p. 560.
- We all dread a bodily paralysis, and would make use of every contrivance to avoid it; but none of us is troubled about a paralysis of the soul.
- Epictetus, p. 560.
- The saddest of all failures is that of a soul, with its capabilities and possibilities, failing of life everlasting, and entering upon that night of death upon which morning never dawns.
- Herrick Johnson, p. 560.
- As ravens rejoice over carrion, so infernal spirits exult over the soul that is dead in sin.
- Christian Scriver, p. 561.

Says Molyneux: Advertisement It is always one or two games which define a platform — it's the same for the Wii, and the PlayStation 2... I think the PlayStation 3 is still waiting for that definition title that represents the platform - and I think that's what hardware manufacturers need to do, find that defining title... Nintendo did a brilliant job of doing that at launch with games like Wii Sports and Wii Play — maybe Fable 2 is a defining title.

I received them yesterday.
(I currently alternate between the Shure SRH840 and Sony SA-5000 while listening at work. Source is a Creative Zen Vision:M and Ray Samuels Mustang Amp)
Only had them on for a few hours, so way to early to post any final judgements.
But I do observe the following:
The packaging is superb, cool carrying case, an extra cable and an extra pair of ear cushions
The comfort is great, but these may not fit people with smaller heads, I am at position 2 (out of 10)
The cables are detachable and look to be very high quality. Cable is not microphonic at all.
Bass response is good for an open air design, much better than the SA-5000 headphones
Midrange, especially vocals is great, very detailed
High end is very accurate, not bright at all
So far, I really like them!

Seung-Jun Yi's doc "Planet of Snail" was the big winner at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), taking the festival's top prize this past weekend.
Don't let the title fool you. It's not a nature documentary about snails. "Planet of Snail" is actually a quietly powerful portrait of Young-Chan, a Korean man who is both deaf and blind (he calls himself a "snail" as he can only communicate through touch). At the centre of the story is Young-Chan's relationship with his wife Soon-Ho, who lovingly works as his eyes and ears.
With impressive intimacy, "Snail" depicts a remarkably endearing relationship in Young-Chan and Soon-Ho. The manner in which the pair respect each other, laugh with one another – despite the complications of their situation – works as a significant testament to the potential of the human spirit and the power of love. It also gives a clear window into the lives of people facing what could clearly be a brutally lonely disability.
Last week in Amsterdam, Indiewire sat down with Seung-Jun prior to his big win at IDFA. It seems that before Seung-Jun made the film, he met his future subject when he was making an education television program about communicating with fingers (which Young-Chan clearly excels at).
"After that we became friends," Seung-Jun said. "We're the same age. He's a very interesting guy. And it's not because he's dead and blind. As you see in the film, his poetry is so beautiful. And he's also very funny and humourous. I was attracted by these factors."
Young-Chan did not want to be filmed at first. Seung-Jun approached him with the idea but he was concerned with how he might be portrayed, particularly given he wouldn't be able to see or hear what Seung-Jun was filming.
"I fully understood his opinion," Seung-Jun said. "I told him that I'm not going to make some easy TV documentary. It won't be one month of shooting and one month of editing and then broadcast on TV. But that's how most factual programs are made in Korea and they call it documentary."
Young-Chan and his wife Soon-Ho became convinced as they started to get to know Seung-Jun better and he continued to emphasize the creative integrity of the project he wanted to make.
Seung-Jun filmed the pair for over two years and continued to gain their trust in process.
"Sometimes they'd say 'today I don't want to be filmed,'" Seung-Jun said. "And I'd say 'okay, let's have a coffee or a talk or something like that.' So I took my time. With that attitude I gained their trust. Also, they are very good people. And as a director, that made very happy."
It also should make audiences around the documentary film festival circuit happy over the next year or so, when "Planet of Snail" is sure to make the rounds. The trust he built with his subjects helped create the intimacy that made "Snail" the talk of IDFA.

Deftones are planning to begin work on the follow-up to last year's Diamond Eyes this summer and are looking at an early 2012 release. In a recent interview, frontman Chino Moreno reveals the band will start writing in between summer tour dates. He says, "We're going to have a month off, but in that month, we're talking about going in and starting to write again, maybe even two or three weeks in a rehearsal spot just recording ideas and keeping it going. So if all goes well, hopefully we'll have some product for early next year." They're planning to record album no. 7 with bassist Sergio Vega, who filled in for Chi Cheng after he was severely injured in an automobile accident in 2008. Moreno says that Cheng is still in a "semi-conscious state" and not able to communicate, but the vocalist says Cheng is showing improvement.
Deftones will finish their current tour in mid-June and are set to play Lollapalooza before the Leeds and Reading festivals in the U.K.

Lisburn's attractions are dynamic, arty and gorgeously gastro, so you'll be spoiled for choice on a weekend break in the city
Five things to do when out and about in Lisburn
Watch the skill and dexterity of Ireland's last two linen handloom weavers at the Irish Linen Centre and Lisburn Museum, the city's oldest building. Based in the city's former Market House, it still keeps its original red sandstone 17th-century arches. The Flax to Fabric exhibition brings the history alive by showing how the cloth was made from flax. Being able to see the linen being woven is the real highlight here. The beauty and uniqueness of the fabric becomes so obvious. You're perfectly primed for the gift shop and wonderful examples of damask linen.
On Tuesday mornings, head to Lisburn's outdoor market. Queues form at Deighan's Cabbage Patch stall for everything from Ailsa Craig tomatoes to Maris Piper potatoes. Gerard McNabb from Silverfin Fish Merchants displays the catch, still twitching, from the fishing ports of Ardglass, Kilkeel and Portavogie.
"Visitors love the atmosphere of the market," says Gerard, "and many have never seen such a wide range of fish." Most popular are mussels and oysters from Dundrum Bay, and in summer, herring and fresh mackerel.
Greene's supermarket started life as a butcher's shop, but now the place to go for the perfect picnic bits and bobs. The options are endless: country rhubarb and ginger jam, Northern Ireland honey, creamy Clandeboye cow's yoghurt, the award-winning Ballybrie Irish soft cheese or Boilie Irish goat's cheese (it's a big hit in Asia).

The perfect spot for your picnic is the Castle Gardens. The public park gifted to Lisburn at the beginninLisburn Castle, a 17th-century fortified manor house built by the Conways – the landlords of Lisburn. The park has since been restored with its garden terraces laid out in the 1650s. Archaeological works uncovered some significant historical artifacts such as a 17th-century gazebo terrace walls and a stone perron stairway. Look out for the original Second World War air raid shelter, which has been given new life as an education centre.
Local culture, drama, dance, music and comedy all feature in the award-winning Island Arts Centre perched along the banks of the river. It's one of the island's top arts venues and anchors the city's vibrant theatre, music and dance scene. There are art parties and performances for kids, exhibitions, festivals, and top music and theatre productions.
Follow the art and sculpture trail Xplorart, which highlights the work of local and international artists along the river. The cycling sculpture marks the entrance to the cycle path, which is part of a National Network. On spring and summer Saturday mornings, artists display their work on the ornate railings of Castle Gardens as part of the Art on the Rails weekly sale. Cycle up to Wallace Park, a space named after Sir Richard Wallace, who left many legacies to the city, including a gift of five fountains. Only two survive today: one in Market Square and the other in Castle Gardens. Scan the riverbank and you may glimpse electric blue kingfishers darting along it.

3 year old Gelding Confo Critique 5 Attachment(s) Hey guys, just want some input on my new boy. He's a three year old gelding. His Dam was a Welsh, and dad was a QH. Let me know what you think. :) He's a little shy but really curious about people, and he sure moves cute. Think maybe a possible Large Pony Hunter one day in the distant future. As he is barely halterbroke yet. Thanks, Melissa |
He's super cute! It's difficult to critique conformation without good shots. Try to get one from behind, one from the front, and one from the side. He should be standing square in all of them, with his neck and head forward, and as natural as he normally stands. I know this can be difficult if he's barely halter broke! |
sorry can't help you with the critique but I think he is very cute and I like his colour |
He is cute but he got a welsh head, lol. Tiny head on a big boy body, he might still grow into it though. :) I like his general conformation maybe a little high hocked. But he has that QH look I like in his body. |

WEST POINTE A LA HACHE, La. -- Adolph Landry has weathered storm after storm across five decades in this small Plaquemines Parish community: from Hurricane Betsy in 1965, to Camille four years later, to Katrina in 2005.
None of those, he said, delivered the wall of water and destruction of Hurricane Isaac two weeks ago. On Monday, Landry surveyed the mud-caked landscape of crumpled homes, snapped trees and flipped cars that were once his well-groomed neighborhood. Electricity is still three weeks away.
"Betsy and Camille never did this," said Landry, 52, an air-conditioning technician. "I've lived here all my life and never seen anything like this."
As residents and officials across southern Louisiana begin the long task of cleaning up and rebuilding from Isaac's destruction, many in this embattled parish are asking why their communities were so relentlessly hammered by floods -- and whether it's worth rebuilding.
"We're not coming back," said Deuce Sylve, 44, whose ancestors settled in West Pointe a La Hache generations ago as oystermen and shrimpers. The house he shares with his 98-year-old grandmother was overtaken by floods during Isaac. "We can't go through this again."
Plaquemines Parish, located 12 miles south of New Orleans, is a skinny spit of land that follows the Mississippi River down to the Gulf of Mexico. It was one of the worst-hit areas during Isaac, which entered Louisiana just west of the parish.
Work crews this week launched the massive cleanup effort of Plaquemines. Workers righted downed power lines, as giant pumps continued pumping water out of the parish. On a stretch of Louisiana Highway 23, an excavator plucked bloated cattle carcasses from the side of the road and piled them into a flatbed truck. About 2,000 head of cattle drowned during the storm, according to parish officials.
Federally managed levees and floodgates covering the northern and southern parts of the parish protected those areas well, parish President Billy Nungesser said. But smaller, local levees in the middle were overwhelmed by Isaac's storm surge, flooding highways and neighborhoods, he said. The parish is trying to fund a $1 billion coastal protection plan of ridges and berms that could lower storm surges, he said. But so far the money has been slow in coming.
"It's our survival plan," Nungesser said. "Without that, the schools, churches, nothing else matters because nothing will survive."
Another reason the parish saw so much water with Isaac: rapidly disappearing marshes that skirt the area and act as a buffer against storms, said Mark Davis,director of the Tulane Institute on Water Resources Law and Policy. The marshes act as speed bumps for storms, lowering storm surge and sapping storm energy. Louisiana has lost about 2,000 square miles of marshes -- an area larger than Rhode Island -- since the 1930s, he said. The BP oil spill in 2010 further damaged the marshes.
Efforts to restore the coast are costly and slow to materialize, Davis said. Meanwhile, unimpeded storms roar into populated areas stronger and faster than ever before, he said.
"Each new storm comes to a new coast," Davis said. "Every day, we become more vulnerable."
In Ironton, 10 miles north of West Pointe a La Hache, residents were surprised by a storm surge that overtook levees and pushed eight feet of water into homes.
Vanishing marshes are partly to blame, longtime Ironton resident Wilkie DeClouet said. But the newly bolstered hurricane protection system protecting the northern part of the parish and nearby St. Bernard Parish also creates a funnel that drives floodwaters into his neighborhood, he said.
Water entered DeClouet's home -- even though it's built 7.5 feet off the ground. "This is by far the worst we've ever had," he said.
He and others have complained to parish officials about not having enough flood protection, but their pleas have not been met, he said. "There are no million-dollar homes here," DeClouet, 48, said. "No one cares about this place."
Landry said he'll review any disaster assistance he may be offered by FEMA and other agencies, but rebuilding in the place he has lived in his whole life doesn't seem likely. He's not sure where he'll relocate to, other than west and north and "far away from here," he said.
Katrina was a wake-up call to how a lack of marshes hurt the parish, he said. Isaac was the final straw.
"You could build levees 500 feet high. It doesn't matter," Landry said. "There's nothing to stop the storms from coming. Nothing's going to stop the water."

Patented EcoPhase pneumatic conveying technology uses a specially designed entrainment device, called a Magveyor, to allow a system to operate continuously while achieving high solids loadings and allowing the conveyor to run more efficiently. This can be of advantage to a manufacturing facility in either of two ways: it will allow a new installation to reduce the horsepower needed to convey dry bulk solids for a given rate and distance; it will allow an existing installation to run more efficiently on existing horsepower, increasing the maximum throughput for a given line. This new technology application will help customers reduce energy consumption and costs, in some cases by more than 50% when compared to traditional dilute- or dense-phase pneumatic conveying systems.

By using a novel X-ray technique, researchers have observed a catalyst surface at work in real time and were able to resolve its atomic structure in detail. The new technique, pioneered at DESY's X-ray light source PETRA III, may pave the way for the design of better catalysts and other materials on the atomic level. It greatly speeds up the determination of atomic surface structures and enables live recordings of surface reactions like catalysis, corrosion and growth processes with a time resolution of less than a second. "We can now investigate surface processes that were not observable in real time before and that play a central role in many fields of materials science," explains DESY researcher Prof. Andreas Stierle.
The Swedish-German research team working with lead author Dr. Johan Gustafson of Lund University presented their work in the journal Science.
Materials scientists currently lack a method to record data of the full atomic structure of surfaces during dynamic processes within a reasonable time. Existing methods are either too slow or require ultra high vacuum, prohibiting the flow of gas in the test chamber and thus ruling out a live investigation of dynamic reaction processes involving gas phases at near atmospheric pressures.
"Our goal was to observe surfaces under reactive, application-oriented conditions in real time," says Stierle. The team used the high-energy X-rays from DESY's light source PETRA III. When X-rays strike a solid material, they are diffracted into a characteristic pattern that yields information about the atomic structure of the material. In conventional X-ray measurements performed at lower photon energies, the sample and the detector must be rotated to map out the full diffraction pattern painstakingly step by step, a procedure that can easily consume ten hours or more.
In contrast, the high-energy X-rays of PETRA III are scattered into a much smaller angular range, producing a much more compact diffraction pattern that can be recorded at once with a high-end two-dimensional detector at the High-Energy Materials Science measuring station P07. "This approach makes it possible to record data 10 to 100 times faster," explains Stierle. As a consequence, scientists can gain a full surface structure in less than ten minutes or track individual structural features with a temporal resolution of less than a second. "It also allows us to more easily identify unknown or unexpected structures," underlines Stierle.
For their investigations, the researchers installed a test chamber, in which the gas pressure can be up to 1 bar -- the same as normal atmospheric pressure -- to approach realistic reaction conditions. A mass spectrometer allows for on-line monitoring of the gas distribution within the test chamber during measurements.
To demonstrate the new approach, the researchers watched a catalyst of the precious metal palladium live at work: a two millimetre thick palladium single crystal with a diameter of one centimetre converts toxic carbon monoxide into harmless carbon dioxide, much like catalytic converters do in cars. The technique enabled the scientists to observe how the palladium began to convert the carbon monoxide (CO) into carbon dioxide (CO2) as soon as oxygen (O2) also flowed into the chamber. "We can watch how the catalyst switches from a non-reactive state into a reactive one," explains Stierle who heads the NanoLab at DESY and also holds an appointment as professor at the University of Hamburg.
The researchers hope to identify the catalyst's active phase by using this new approach. For decades, scientists have debated whether the conversion of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide, for example, takes place on the bare metallic surface, on an oxide layer, or on oxide islands on the surface. "The new technology gives us the opportunity to identify the reaction centres in real time at atomic resolution," says Stierle.
In the end, the findings could be used to optimise catalysts. In general, catalysts are substances that accelerate chemical reactions without being consumed by them. The new X-ray technique has a wide variety of applications for materials research. The scientists expect completely new insights into the kinetics of surface processes, enabling the design of new materials on the atomic level. "The combination of the extremely bright X-ray source, the sample environment and the 2D detector at PETRA III is worldwide unique," emphasises Stierle.
The new X-ray technique has been jointly developed by researchers from Lund University, DESY, Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg and the University of Hamburg within the Röntgen-Ångström-Cluster and received financial support from the German Federal Ministry of Research BMBF within the project NanoXcat.

Disappointing reports about the US economy helped push the market lower Friday. Concerns that the Federal Reserve could unveil plans to cut back its stimulus program next week also weighed on investors. Confidence in the economy weakened in June and was lower than economists had estimated, according to the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan survey. Another report said factories weren't as busy as expected. The International Monetary Fund offered no help. It said US government spending cuts have slowed the economy. Fed policy makers will start a two-day meeting Tuesday to discuss the central bank's next steps.

The EPV762 MH's sweeping motion gives video displays maximum exposure at shows and events, since the screen is viewable from all sides and every angle. Equipped with 4,096 tri-color (red, green, blue) SMD LEDs and featuring 2,000-nit brightness, this versatile screen will create eye-popping high-res videos, graphics, text messages, special effects, or any other images you wish to display – and "broadcast" them around the room with its smooth pan/tilt motion.
Part of the company's new Elation Pro Video Series, the EPV762 MH panel was developed to give stage, lighting and event designers an innovative LED video tool, said Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional. "There are many productions, events and other design applications that would benefit from having a 'moving' video screen that can be viewed from different angles," said Loader. "The EPV762 MH has a full range of motion, just like a moving head light, while offering all the features of a professional LED video panel. As LED video screens become more widely used, I think we will see them evolving toward having more specialized capabilities. With its pan-tilt ability, the EPV762 MH is at the forefront of this trend."
The square-shaped panel measures 19.2" x 19.2"/ 488mm x 488mm, and weighs 53 lbs./ 24 kg. It features 16-bit processing and a 2,000Hz refresh rate.
In keeping with Elation's commitment to addressing end-users' needs, the EPV762 MH was designed to be extremely easy to set up and operate. Each panel is equipped with Ethercon input/output for the video signal, as well as Powercon in/out for power link. Additionally, each panel includes its own built-in 100-240V psu. The EPV 762 MH also features both 3-pin and 5-pin DMX inputs for pan/tilt control, as well as a Pan-Tilt lock.
The EPV762 MH was designed for use with Elation EPV VSC or EPV Image VSC Video processors (sold separately). The energy-efficient panel consumes just 350 watts of electricity maximum (230 watts average). The MSRP of the EPV762 MH is just $6,399.95.
