It is the story of the faith in which I was raised, and it is a story told here with great reverence and extremely faithful renditions of scenes from the New Testament. But, alas, it's not a good movie.
Read Full Review
It's undoubtedly a daunting role, and Morgado captures the gentle benevolence associated with the messianic figure. He doesn't, however, project the authority, gravitas or depth of a spiritual leader.
This quite mediocre spawned-from-television feature feels like a Jesus film designed primarily for true believers, meaning that the faith-based public that has already been put on alert by seal-of-approval-dispensing church leaders that this is a film to see will make the Fox release into a significant Heartland attraction.

Pause for kids 12 & under
Bland retelling of Jesus' ministry can be very violent.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Son of God is re-purposed material from the History Channel's The Bible miniseries concentrating on the story of Jesus' ministry years, death, and resurrection. Although it's not quite as bloody and violent as The Passion of the Christ, the movie still features the violence of the crucifixion, like Jesus' flogging, the crown of thorns, and the nailing to the cross. There are close-ups of a bloody and beaten Jesus, as well as the two thieves crucified beside him. There are also scenes of dead Israelites killed by Roman guards, a child who is crushed and killed by a cart, and Judas hanging himself. Families must decide whether their kids are ready to see some of the more disturbing and bloody aspects of Jesus' story.
Messages: Encourages belief in God and specifically the Christian vision of Jesus as the Son of God.
Role models: Unlike The Bible, which surveys major Judeo-Christian stories, Son of God concentrates on Jesus. Even those who do not believe in Jesus' divinity will find him a fascinating revolutionary who challenges the establishment, ministers to outcasts and sinners, and wants to change the world. His promise to people is simple: believe and you shall be saved. His disciples are all flawed, but they remain faithful. Even Judas, who betrays Jesus, repents for his part in Jesus' arrest.
Violence: The movie, which is taken from parts of The Bible miniseries, is quite violent. Jesus is flogged with the 40 lashes, forced to carry his cross, fixed with crown of thorns, and crucified. There are close-ups of his bloody body and bruised face. Pontius Pilate's guards push over a merchant's cart, and it falls and crushes his son, who is shown dead in his mother's arms. Crowds are stabbed and slaughtered. During temple scenes, there are animals being sacrificed, and people are pushed. Jesus is told his friend John the Baptist was beheaded. Judas hangs himself.
Sex: Not applicable
Language: Jesus is taunted as "King of the Jesus" and "peasant" and "false prophet."
Consumerism: Not applicable
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Jesus and his disciples drink wine.

Be honest: you've always been a little jealous of Jesus Christ's sweet style. You'd like to snag a little of that swag for yourself, but you don't think you could pull off the beard or the long robed look. We can't all be the Son of God, or rock his sartorial choices as well as he did, but we can at least step into these summer sandals Jesus would probably have loved to wear:
Summer Sandals #1 – Ancient Greek Sandals Jason Sandals
The Greeks have been owning the sandal look since the 8th century BC. The Jason Sandals from Ancient Greek Sandals look like they could have stepped straight out of the Parthenon, but you don't have to pair them with a toga to get a complete look. Their premium cuts of chemical-free leather look much better with a pair of jeans. (Price: $191.00 BUY)
Summer Sandals #2 – Paul Smith Shoes & Accessories Fringed Leather Sandals
Trust Paul Smith Shoes & Accessories to come up with a pair of sandals that manages to be both casualwear and formalwear at the same time. The Fringed Leather Sandals feature cork insoles and a strappy leather shape that are made for warm weather, and a loafer-like fringe to bring some class and elegance to the design. (Price: $585.00 BUY)
Summer Sandals #3 – Pierre Hardy Neon Leather Sandals
At the exact opposite end of the spectrum from Paul Smith's hyper-sophisticated sandals are Pierre Hardy's Neon Leather Sandals. The bright orange leather, paired with the iconic Gladiator style, is quirky, fun, and cool. You can let your inner raver kid out without having to sacrifice your grown-up sense of style. (Price: $355.00 BUY)
Summer Sandals #4 – ASOS Sandals In Leather
Every bit of the ASOS Sandals In Leather – from the upper, to the lining, to the sole – is made from 100% real leather in a beautiful and breathable woven design. Not half bad for a pair of shoes that won't even set you back $100 and are totally on-trend. (Price: $59.40 BUY)
Summer Sandals #5 – Gucci Leather Horsebit Sandals
It's hard to remain suave and urbane once the weather starts heating up, but resist the temptation to throw on a douchey pair of cargo shorts and dirt-cheap plastic sandals from the discount store down the street. Try the Gucci Leather Horsebit Sandals instead, which don't sacrifice style and refinement for comfort. (Price: $435.00 BUY)

FORECLOSURES STILL KEEPING LEGAL AID OFFICE BUSY -- Sarasota Herald-Tribune, http://www.heraldtribune.com, March 26, 2013.
Ten years ago, Legal Aid of Manasota Inc. handled a couple of foreclosure cases a year. These days, the agency is juggling more than 370 open cases, providing free legal assistance to homeowners who are dealing with foreclosures. Legal Aid will receive $221,400 in special funding from the landmark $25 billion national mortgage settlement to provide legal services in foreclosure cases. The funds came through the Florida Attorney General's Office, earmarked for residents in Sarasota and Manatee counties. Dozens of local lawyers are volunteering their time to help those at risk of losing their homes. The assistance is available to any Sarasota-Manatee resident who owns their home and meets low- to moderate-income requirements.
PRO BONO FAMILY LAW ATTORNEYS HELPED MORE THAN 450 IN 2012 -- Jacksonville Daily Record, http://www.jaxdailyrecord.com, March 26, 2013.
In 2012 the Jacksonville Area Legal Aid Family Law Group Information Clinics helped more people than ever before, providing legal assistance and advice to those in need all across the 4th Circuit. The organization's family law clinics provide local attorneys with worthwhile pro bono opportunities and provide legal services to those who would otherwise be turned away. Attendance numbers climbed from 311 in 2011 to more than 450 in 2012, highlighting the growing need for family-law guidance in the 4th Circuit. Each year, JALA receives thousands of family law requests and questions. Staff and pro bono attorneys are not able to represent all meritorious matters.
JUSTICE BARBARA PARIENTE BELIEVES IN TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE -- Tallahassee Democrat, http://www.tallahassee.com, March 26, 2013.
This profile of Florida Supreme Court Justice Barbara Pariente was written by Madison Harris-Parks for The Oasis Center for Women and Girls, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to "improve the lives of women and girls through celebration and support." Harris-Parks writes, "Justice Barbara Pariente can easily be described as determined and courageous. Her dedication to justice runs deep — and not just because of the robe she wears to work. She is committed to making the world a better place, especially for children and families . . . Justice Pariente sees her work as a step in the right direction, down a path where a month of recognition is no longer necessary for women. She hopes to see a future where women's rights are advanced in all fields and their contributions are celebrated every day."

LAKELAND CITY ATTORNEY TIM MCCAUSLAND'S CONTRACT TALKS STIR ISSUE OUTSIDE OF WORK -- Lakeland Ledger, http://www.theledger.com, March 26, 2013.
City Attorney Tim McCausland's request for a contract was withdrawn, but it raised an ethical issue. "What an employee does off-duty is ordinarily a matter of personal business," according to city guidelines. A review of McCausland's financial disclosure forms show that he was paid thousands of dollars from a Tampa law firm while he was city attorney. He made the money for referring a client to a well-known lawyer in the Tampa area. News of the referral and specific wording in McCausland's proposed contract about outside consulting raised questions about how any future outside work by McCausland should be handled if it comes up. Richard A. Harrison, a law professor at Stetson University and board certified by The Florida Bar in city, county and local government law, said the referral didn't appear to raise issues involving Florida Bar ethics.
--Criminal Justice Issues--
DEATH-ROW INMATE'S ATTORNEY WANTS SENTENCE TOSSED -- Orlando Sentinel, http://www.orlandosentinel.com, March 26, 2013.
An attorney for death-row inmate Quawn Franklin has asked the Florida Supreme Court to overturn his sentence, saying the jury should have heard more evidence offering reasons why he shouldn't be condemned to death. Franklin, 35, was convicted of several violent felonies, including two murders, during a two-week crime spree in Leesburg in December 2001. Court records also show that his defense counsel wants to argue that he is not competent and cannot be executed. The justices will issue an opinion on the case later.

For some reason, it always seems so bizarre when blog celebrities end up on real TV shows. It was weird to see Neon Indian on Fallon a while back, and it's just as weird to see B.o.B on FOX 5 Atlanta during the morning show performing "Nothin' On You" on set. In B.o.B.'s case, he's been on the fringes of mainstream notice for about three years, so it's even weirder. Is he about to breakthrough for real? Will he ever actually put out an album? For now, at least, the answers to both those questions remain up in the air.

Yin and yang are, of course, Chinese archetypes describing two opposing aspects of a single common principle. Yin is generally characterized as soft, slow, tranquil and gentle, while Yang is hot, restless, hard and rapid. Westerners assume one is female and the other male, but that's not strictly true.
In Chinese philosophy, both coexist, complementing even as they stand opposite. Either gender can possess elements of either aspect without automatically being labeled as "sissy" or "butch."
Still, we're talking about practical principles here and what yin and yang teach us is, when working your cases, it is important not to overload on any one approach. Too gentle never works, but neither does too harsh.
The best lawyers find a balance point and they work it.

'Convivio' at Misseo Dei brings diverse groups together
On the last Sunday of every month, there is a marvelous cross-cultural gathering of Missio Dei church members, homeless individuals and Latinos who have been involved in earning their citizenship through the efforts of Norma Gallegos of World Relief Spokane.
The event is called a convivio — a Spanish word meaning (sharing life together) living or sharing together. This is something that needs to happen more often in our communities — bringing people together to share food, conversation and support. We are all too frequently isolated from people who we share the community with but who have vastly different experiences.
Pastor Thom Nees, a good friend and former colleague at The World, invited me to participate in this unique event on Sunday. Missio Dei is a community service-oriented church that operates out of the World's old press room (which later was the Pressroom Theatre) and World Relief shares space and conducts citizenship classes in that space.
Nees freely admits that if the church had tried to design a cross-cultural gathering on its own, it more than likely would have failed. It was through a relationship that Nees and Gallegos have formed over the past several years that brought the idea of a shared meal, or convivio. It's more than a tradition potluck — it's a place for community to gather and share together. They're on to something important.
On this particular Sunday, a group of women were busy making homemade tortillas in the kitchen at the church. A vat of beans was bubbling on the stove, plus potatoes, rice, huevos rancheros and a selection of homemade salsas. It was quite a feast and the food was filling, hearty and darned tasty.
While we ate, Jose Luis High, the news director for La Nueva radio station, was entertaining with a guitar and vocals. He's quite a musician.
While Mexican food is on the menu the last Sunday of the month, breakfast is served at 9 am. every week. Homeless individuals find Missio Dei to be a comfortable place to visit on Sundays where they are welcomed and valued on the basis of our shared humanity. They are able to get a cup of coffee, a mealand a listening ear. It is a place where everyone is welcome to come as they are. I spoke with a 21-year-old woman who is living in a tent in East Wenatchee and is hoping to land a job with one of the fruit companies in. She lamented that another homeless guy had been hassling her and she was concerned for her safety.
The folks who were homeless were respectful, courteous and according to Nees are sincerely appreciative.
Church members have really fixed up the inside of the old press room to look like a cafe. They'll make you a cappuccino or a latte — don't bother asking for drip coffee. They'd prefer to craft a great cup for you.
Gallegos oversees citizenship classes in seven locations throughout the region for World Relief, a faith-based organization which is dedicated to helping immigrants.
At the recent TEDx Event here in Wenatchee, the theme was "Connecting The Dots," which refers to the need to stop addressing issues in isolation and work together to make the community more resllient.
The convivio is a perfect illustration of the kind of creative effort that we can take to make this a reality.

Simple, does anyone have swedish national logo - three crowns, in vector format of course.
does anyone have a swedish identity (three crowns)
Primary tabs
Have you checked here?
It isn't there sadly :(
golden ratio of passion. sansogno.coastaldisturbance.com
There are several different versions of these crowns, varying in complexity.
For example,
For vector try www.brandsoftheworld.com and search on say 'Sweden Hockey', 'Swedish Olympic Committee'.
See also
and note section on regulated use.
Here's a pdf with it on:
If you decide to redraw it, I reckon each crown is a 4x3. The lower vertices then appear to fall at the golden section. The whole thing (ie all 3 crowns) fit onto a 12x8 rectangle.
Redrawing it would be unnecessary, since you posted a PDF. You can open that PDF in Illustrator, and copy the logo in vectors from it.
Because I'm so nice, I have done just that. Shall I upload it somewhere?
Or if you want to do it yourself.. :)
Though I'm not sure if such a thing is allowed, reading that regulations and such.

You should look this over, the use of the coat of arms is heavily regulated.
I think Saab used three crowns as part of their logo at some point in their history. Not sure about right now.

Holocaust Archive To Be Commemorated in Warsaw
A monument commemorating the Ringelblum Archive will be built on Nowolipki Street in Warsaw, where it was hidden during the war.
Emanuel Ringelblum led a secret operation code-named Oyneg Shabbos while living in the Warsaw Ghetto, in the basement of the building at 68 Nowolipki St., between August 1942 and February 1943. Ringelblum, along with other Jewish writers, scientists and neighbors, gathered newspapers, leaflets, posters, photos, drawings, notes, diaries and literary works that documented the extermination of the Jews.
The 25,000-document archive buried in metal boxes and milk cans was taken from the ruins of the ghetto in 1946 and 1955. In 1999, UNESCO placed the Ringelblum Archive on its list of the most important documents of humanity.
Jacek Leociak, assistant professor at the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences, originated the idea of commemorating the hiding place of the archive. The monument will consist of a pit with a glass box containing a copy of one of the documents from the archive placed inside, symbolizing the basement.
The project was created in 2010 but its implementation has just begun. The organization and financing of the monument is under the auspices of the Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Sites. The unveiling of the monument will take place on September 18, the anniversary of finding in the basement the first part of the Ringelblum Archive.

FORT WORTH – Kyle Busch allowed himself a peek at the Sprint Cup points standings after Sunday's race at Martinsville Speedway.
The numbers just confirmed what he already knew after a disappointing 15th: His bid for winning a first championship effectively has ended with three races remaining in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
"It's certainly going to be a lot tougher now and obviously we're going to have to have some luck on our side and the other guys aren't," said Busch, who is ranked fifth, 36 points behind Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson. "If you have bad luck with the front two, then that's going to bring five guys back into it. That's what the fans want to see, probably the media wants to see and what I want to see, but I bet you the front two don't."

The Joe Gibbs Racing driver might not wear the crown, but Busch can take some solace in the best Chase of his career. Though he still has yet to notch a victory during 10-race title runs for which he's qualified, Busch hasn't stumbled as he did in previous attempts as a championship contender.
He opened the 2013 Chase with back-to-back runner-up finishes at Chicagoland Speedway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway and since has added fifths at Dover International Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway.
If not for Martinsville and a disastrous 34th at Kansas Speedway, he likely would be in the hunt.
TRUEX JR.: Will drive for Furniture Row in 2014
"It's beneficial," said Busch, who has a career-best Chase ranking of fifth and three other points finishes of 10th or worse. "Last year we ran really well in the Chase, but we weren't a Chase car. That was frustrating.
"We knew we could do it. We proved to ourselves we could do it, and we were able to follow-up on last year's success. Barring Kansas, I think we've done a really nice job. Other than that, we've run a lot better this year than in years past, that's for certain. Apparently there's still a lot more room for improvement."
Busch stands a good chance of making a statement in Sunday's AAA Texas 500. He enters Texas Motor Speedway as the most recent winner on the 1.5-mile oval, breaking through here in April with a victory from the pole position.
"We certainly know we can do it," he said. "This spring was pretty awesome to be able to get it done because it was the first race with the Gen 6 car here. Just like to continue on that and keep that going.
"The best we can do is lead all the laps and win all the races in these final three and see where the points stack up. If we do that and we still don't win it, we did our job."

Norman Podhoretz believes that America needs to go to war soon with Iran. As far as he knows, Rudy Giuliani thinks the same thing.
"I was asked to come in and give him a briefing on the war, World War IV," said Mr. Podhoretz, a founding father of neoconservatism and leading foreign policy adviser to Mr. Giuliani. "As far as I can tell there is very little difference in how he sees the war and how I see it."
During a long interview this week in his bookcase-lined East 81st Street home, Mr. Podhoretz, 77, explained the very straightforward proposition he has been proposing to Mr. Giuliani from the start of the campaign: "The choice before us is either bomb those nuclear facilities or let them get the bomb."
In the apartment, a Presidential Medal of Freedom awarded by President Bush was displayed next to records of Bach and Beethoven, tin African sculptures and Japanese furniture. A picture of his son, John Podhoretz, the new editor of Commentary, which he himself edited for decades, was stuck to the refrigerator. Two of his grown Israeli grandchildren, one in a tank top, the other in an Atari T-shirt, watched television in John's old room.
In July, Mr. Giuliani named Mr. Podhoretz a senior adviser on a foreign policy team subsequently stockpiled with more neoconservatives, including Middle East historian Daniel Pipes and Paul Wolfowitz acolyte Michael Rubin.
To Mr. Podhoretz's obvious admiration, the Giuliani campaign seems to have become something of a lifeboat for neoconservatives shipwrecked after the Bush administration's failures in Iraq.

The mission of the Companions in Ignatian Service and Spirituality is to enrich, through an integrated program of prayer and Ignatian Spiritual reflection, the lives and experience of persons fifty or older who are doing community service. Please download for a pdf overview of our work: CISS Overview 2016
Ignatian Companions engages women and men, retired and semi-retired, who have a desire to serve those most marginalized in our communities while deepening their spiritual foundations. Our Companions integrate their personal journey of faith with their own conviction to act for justice within local nonprofits. Ours is a program that aims to transform both the giver and the receiver. We strive to create an integration in which our Companions meet the needs of those on the fringes while maintaining a contemplative prayer practice that roots this work in the values of Jesuit spirituality.
Founded in Santa Clara County in 2008 with just 6 members, Ignatian Companions expanded to Alameda and Contra Costa Counties in 2010. Today, we are proud to have engaged over 100 people in our South Bay and East Bay communities. Ignatian Companions is guided by a part- time Director who works closely with our Regional Advisory Board, our volunteer Local Teams and a cadre of contracted facilitators.
Companions in Ignatian Service and Spirituality (CISS Profile) begins as a one-year program that focuses on the integration and deepening of prayer and service. Ignatian Companions has created a powerful, community-based program based on the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius and the principles of Catholic Social Teaching. Our participants (called Companions) volunteer in diverse agencies, donating between 8-12 hours weekly. They convene once a month with program staff for service reflection in small cohorts of 10-12 people. Our curriculum encourages Companions to consider their personal sense of vocation during their second half of life. This vocation, we believe, is a vocation that unabashedly embraces and acts for the poor.
We play a key role in building community and creating opportunity for elder volunteers. Companions dedicate their time to social issues such as education, healthcare, poverty, inequity and restorative justice. Our members serve in prisons, with trafficked minors, for those who are hungry and homeless, and alongside migrants. Our impact is growing as more people learn about our commitment to justice and our dedication to the spiritual formation that supports longevity in this challenging work.
Each Companion, at every level of formation, commits to consistent weekly service to the poor and marginalized of the community – daily prayer and devotion – periods of retreat – monthly meetings with the Companions community.
Currently we have three communities within the Bay Area Region. Our first community started in 2008 in the South Bay at Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, California. In 2010 we expanded our program to the East Bay in partnership with the Jesuit School of Theology-SCU, in Berkeley, CA. In the fall of 2013, San Francisco will start its first program of Companions in conjunction with the Ignatian Spirituality Center at St Agnes Parish.
Ignatian Companions is a program rich with prayer and social justice. We focus on participants, inviting them to deeper, more meaningful service and towards a life that embraces a relationship with God. Our programmatic format is unique and very successful.
Program Cost. Our approach is simple: We invite participants, alumni, community foundations and Jesuit partners to share in the stewardship of our program resources. Participants are asked to contribute $500. This contribution includes registration, the spirituality curriculum, our two retreats and monthly sessions throughout the year. Companions has a scholarship fund. If financial assistance is needed, please let us know when you apply. No one will be turned away due to cost.
In the Ignatius Year (year one), Companions participate in our signature 10-month service and faith formation program which is based upon the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius. The usual cohort consists of about 12 people with their monthly meetings running from September to June. The program has two components:
• The Service Component requires participants to have a consistent weekly community service commitment involving direct contact with people who are poor, marginalized, and socially vulnerable.
• The Spiritual Component requires that participants have a strong desire to deepen their relationship with God through daily prayer and monthly group conversation. All participants should have a willingness to explore the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius.
In the Hurtado Year (year two) participants use the same monthly meeting format, and their syllabus is based on texts that, while grounded in an Ignatian spiritual foundation, challenge the reader to grapple with the implications of discernment in a society where values and ethics have changed dramatically. Companions are encouraged to consider a particular and personal sense of vocation as an opportunity to live out one's deepest desire for oneself in the context of a world with profound needs and shortcomings.
In the third year and beyond, Xavier Companions are expected to make a deep and ongoing commitment to practicing a faith that does justice. Participants are provided with the language and basic skills they need to go out and both communicate their commitments to others, and to engage in sustained leadership and advocacy on behalf of the justice and fidelity that their spiritual and ministry experiences have engendered.
For each of these formation phases, participants are asked to commit to:
Year 1 Formation: The Ignatian Year – Heart and Hands
• A 10 month program, from September through June
• Beginning and Ending, one-day retreats
• Weekly consistent service of 6 hours minimum, to the materially poor, the voiceless, and the powerless
• A program of daily prayer and meditation, 15 – 30 minutes, based on the spiritual discipline of St. Ignatius of Loyola, using a comprehensive, written Guide for the Journey
• Monthly program meetings with other members of their group, and co-facilitators, consisting of reflection on their prayer and its connection to their volunteer service experience, a Liturgy and lunch
• Individual monthly meetings with a spiritual director, focusing on where God is calling the volunteer in life
Year 2 Formation: The Hurtado Year – Study and Service
• A 10 month program, from September through June
• Weekly consistent service of 6 hours minimum, to the materially poor, the voiceless, and the powerless
• Daily meditation, 15 – 30 minutes
• Deepen spiritual reflection through the study of texts and readings that focus on the reality of social justice and our response to the cry of the poor
• Meet monthly for Faith Sharing
• Beginning and Ending, one-day retreats
• Meet monthly with a Spiritual Director (optional)
Year 3 and Beyond: The Xavier Years – Contemplation in Action
Our Alumni, Xaviers, are companions who have completed the first two years of our program. Each Companion decides the level of commitment that he or she will make for the year. For some this will mean growing their service into work of advocacy; for others it will mean availing themselves of opportunities for pilgrimage, immersion experiences, retreat, social gatherings and evenings of theological discussion.
There are many possibilities and opportunities for every Companion to remain engaged and committed to the Companions in Ignatian Service and Spirituality, as follows:
• Regular life of daily prayer and reflection;
• Active involvement in leadership and service, within our program and beyond;
• Advocacy and justice action impacting systematic change;
• Periods of retreat and prayer;
• Monthly meetings with the Companions community;
• Attendance at monthly Companion liturgies
• Immersion Pilgrimages
• Participation on a CISS Subcommittee
• Companion representation on the Advisory Board
• "Walker" to companion with an Ignatian Year 1 Companion

I've been married for almost eleven years. For all that we've been through together as a couple, nothing in my life with Rachel was as hard (or as embarrassing) as our first date. It was, to be honest, an unmitigated disaster. I was nervous. I was over-talkative. I was braggadocious. I was rude. I was insufferable.
It was so bad, she didn't talk to me the last 45 minutes of the date. So bad she didn't even say goodbye when she got out of the car. So bad, I called and apologized to her the next day.
(Which is why there was a second date…and a marriage. But I'm digressing.)
Tonight, I'm going out on another first date, and I'm worried that I'll screw this one up too. I'm taking Ella to our first Daddy-Daughter Dance at Trip Elementary.
She'll wear a dress. I'll wear…whatever her and Rachel pick out for me. We'll have snacks. She'll get a corsage. We'll get our picture taken together. And at some point, because she loves to dance more than almost anything, we'll get out on the dance floor and boogie for a while.
Honestly, I'm nervous. I want her to be proud of me. I want her to feel special. I don't want to embarrass her, or treat this like a waste of time. I want to set the bar high for whichever unlucky kid comes to my door to ask her out on a date (unlucky, because they'll have to deal with me for at least an hour before taking Ella anywhere).
I'm also nervous because my history with school-sponsored dances is spotty at best. I was ditched at 2 of the 3 homecoming dances I attended, and I can't even mention prom without throwing up in my mouth a little (let's just say I opted out of the first dance under the guise of not wanting to waste my time–when the reality was I didn't have the guts to ask someone–and the second one…well, I don't quite remember what happened. I think I did something stupid and so did someone else).
So the idea of blowing my daughter's first dance, my princess' first royal ball, is turning my stomach into the single largest producer of acid this side of the 1970's.
But mostly, I'm nervous because I want to earn what happened in my kitchen this morning. I was trying to get the coffee ready, and Ella was avoiding getting dressed for school. She was pushing my patience, really, and I was about ready to get sharp with her. Suddenly, she just wraps her arms around my waist, tucks her head against my hip and says, "I can't wait for tonight! It's just time for me to be with you, just us!"
And then she skipped away to try on her third outfit of the morning.
I felt like a superhero. Ella never asks for time alone with me, so I compute that as her not needing time alone with me. But I should know, after nearly 11 years of marriage, that not all needs get communicated verbally.
I should know, really, because little girls need time with their daddies. Period.
So in a few moments I'll go get her off the bus, bring her home, show her the selection of dresses that her mother has laid out for her, and we'll decide on her outfit (complete with shoes and hair accessories). Then, we'll traipse to my closet and let her pick out what I'm wearing. After that we'll have dinner, and then we'll head to the dance–just me and Ella, holding hands, laughing ourselves silly, her telling me to stop being ridiculous but then begging me to do something funny.
And in these moments I'll probably relax and realize that I'm not trying to win my daughter's heart; I've already won it. What I'm doing is preparing her heart for whoever comes along to win it later.
That's a big responsibility, and it adds to the nerves. But in a good way.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and shave. And find a nice clean shirt.
After all, it's not everyday that you get to take a princess to her first ball.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that, like all of Michael Moore's documentaries, this film has a very definite point of view. Moore has come in for criticism about how he handles the juxtaposition of factual analysis and opinion. Viewers need to think about what is analysis and information and what is editorial opinion. The movie's R rating is for language (the worst of which is three uses of "f--k"); you can also expect frequent discussion of death, dying, and hard times. Many corporations are mentioned by name, usually in the context of calling out their misbehavior.
Messages: The film offers a clear, concise analysis of the current financial crisis that encourages discussion of the nature of capitalism and the question of how, or if, those in society who are better off can -- and should -- give to and support others.
Role models: Viewers meet a number of hardworking Americans coping with tough times with dignity ... and also see acts of greed and conspicuous consumerism.
Violence: Discussions of death, dying, and illness; implied threats of violence. Footage of plane crashes.
Sex: Some suggestive language.
Language: Intermittent strong language, mostly within the interviews that Moore conducts. Words include "screw," "crap," "hell," "s--t," and three uses of "f--k."
Consumerism: Not an issue
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Some film clips show people drinking alcohol.

I know, I know, it's been awhile, I'm going to try to be a little more faithful about blogging (though I know it's more than some, it's not meeting my usual standards for updating ;O)). I'll have more to post tomorrow, but I thought I'd fill in a few little tidbits of the week.
Halloween-Went well, tmy students were relatively behaved, though the sugar definitely hit in as the week progressed and there was a big stir on Friday, but hopefully we will live through it, you never know the parent's reactions when you send home paperwork regarding misbehavior. It's getting to the point in the year where I'm a little tired and we all just need a break and hopefully they will forget some of their bad behavior habits over the break ;o)...or at least I'll be refreshed for what they throw my way. I've had a lot of classroom visitors this last week as well, but I think that's another blog for another time, and there are more stop in's planned over the next few weeks.
Friday-I met up with some old pals that formerly worked with me before the big turnover last year, including the ex principal who is happily leading a new and amazing (distant) school. We all headed out to Trail Dust and had a fabulous meal, some participated in a little line dancing to a fabulous band, and then we ended the evening at Obzeet's for dessert and coffee. It was a really tame night considering some of the attendees, and what they have done in the past. I know they are planning a future outing that is slightly less tame, but more so then spring time outings. Some of these gals have hit a little something known as a midlife crisis. They are trying something new out every month (or at least that was the goal). Which in itself isn't bad, but the things on the list are a little silly at times. It's been interesting to hear about (and experience) a few of their adventures.
Tomorrow is the Nascar race, we are praying for no rain until the race is over, and then I hope the heaven's open.....I can't wait to share more pictures because it may be a one time thing....it's a little pricey and I can think of quite a FEW things I'd enjoy more...but it's good to try things once.....

Inexpensive Pre-owned 24-bay 4U Storage Servers Available
There are many inexpensive 24-bay 4U server chassis available recently. For those that are aware, many users on this site utilize 24x 3.5″ hard drive 4U cases for storage servers. For many years, the Norco RPC-4224 has been a favorite low cost storage server chassis. It is currently $399 on Amazon with Prime shipping and can accept either redundant power supplies or standard ATX power supplies. The chassis was one of those featured in our December 2010 Buyer's guide. Today, the more expensive Supermicro SC846 based systems have started to appear on sale for less than those Norco units.
Inexpensive Supermicro SC846 Storage Chassis Options
Recently an auction with many Supermciro SC846 based full 24-bay 4U storage servers went online. This auction is running approximately $350 on ebay. It comes with a Supermciro SC846TQ with 900w redundant power supplies. These power supplies are the PWS-902-1R versions which means they are 900w and not 80 PLUS certified. The interesting thing about this deal is that the chassis includes an AMD Opteron 2346HE processor, 8GB of RAM, a Supermicro H8DME-2 with IPMI and 3 Marvell based add-in storage controllers. Essentially, this is a full storage server with redundant power supplies for only $350. Building new, this is not likely a configuration many would choose, however just the chassis (without power supplies) would generally cost at least $400.
Credit for the original find belongs to Scout255 of the STH forums. In this post he alerted members to a $500 Supermicro CSE-846TQ-R1200B chassis with redundant 1.2kW 80PLUS Gold power supplies included. The catch is that those cases come branded with another company logo. This platform does not have the main server components, but is an excellent platform for a 24-bay 4U storage server. Generally a similar setup would cost around $1,000 new making this an approximately 50% off deal. This $500 storage server case also comes with rack mount rails, something that other offerings, such as the Norco cases do not come with.
For those wondering, Solera Networks is a big data security and analytics firm purchased by BlueCoat in May 2013. It appears as though their appliances are now using Dell systems.
Bottom line both offerings show good potential as an inexpensive 24-bay 4U storage server platform. The general consensus is that the Supermicro SC846 build quality is superior to the Norco RPC-4224 build quality. Once one factors in a quality power supply that can reliably power 24x 3.5″ disks, the Supermicro options are either the same price or less expensive due to these deals. With the $350 server listed above, one even gets a basic storage server platform with IPMI capabilities making it a solid basic storage server.
August 6, 2013 at 7:08 am
I like the more expensive one. Black looks better. It also comes with rails. I don't mind the logo.
August 6, 2013 at 8:33 am
Just a word of warning: I bought 2 x SC847 24+12 3.5" Hot Swap HDDs some time ago on a sale, just to find that they're not compatible with standard ATX motherboards. Heck, not even microATX boards fit, not even their own power-board they suggested (about half microATX size)!
The holes don't align at all in either case. You can fit some very old motherboard in them (X7 series) or use them as JBOD. I suppose to do the latter you'd need a remote power switch because their power-board doesn't provide one.Carefully check compatibility before buying. Furthermore ASK which revision of the chassis you will get!
August 6, 2013 at 2:02 pm
I have never had a problem with MB comparability in any of the Supermicro chassis I have owned (SC823,SC825,SC846,SC847 and more).
Some of the really old versions of these chassis are missing some of the newer screw holes which it sounds like make be the case with Silverstone above. These do have removable standoffs which you should make sure the seller includes.
I am selling a complete storage server on eBay right now based off a newer SC846 and X9SCM-F MB. I will post a link in the forums if anyone is interested
August 6, 2013 at 9:15 pm
Surely there are removable standoffs, but these can only be screwed in in a (a lot of) places. However at least 3-4 of them have no place to be screwed in, not even for standard ATX or microATX. For microATX, if I remember correctly, only 2 screws aligned.
Surely the case is very old and probably is only for Supermicro proprietary boards.
Just a word of caution for anyone to not make the same mistake as I did.
In order to use my case I should put a 1156 server + CPU motherboard in (which is a ripoff nowadays). Maybe an ATOM X7 motherboard might allow WAL while still don't cost as much nor draw as much power.
This is why I say: check the revision of the chassis you will get!

do you really think it was snarky? i just presumed it was tongue in cheek; scott's said before he enjoys reading our guesses and stuff, so that made me presume it was meant in good humour; but i don't know, i've never met the guy and it is (as always) hard to judge intent and tone in someone's writing.
More Vintage NA for MOTUC in 2017!!

Hey, sorry bro! I don't mean to offend anyone, but I got a laugh out of his post. Whenever someone's posts make me chuckle, I like to acknowledge that. I may not agree with everything Toyguru has posted as of late, but I do agree that sometimes we can get a bit ahead of ourselves here. I really don't think I deserved to be gotten after because of my amusement at that post.
I gotta say that I do think highly of TG for many things he has done for MOTU. I will also say that I think highly of you, sir, and agree with much of what you post. I have been following your NYCC posts rather closely and thank you for all of that great info!
I'm hoping for a Disco Skeletor for the next subscription exclusive! Fully flocked!
"I don't like to feel good! I like to feel EVIL!"
I'm sorry tgat I'm being hasty
The problem is that Scott often makes snarky comments. Then he goes too far with his posts the other night. Then he comes and makes a "funny" post that seems to make fun of those who have been guessing what the 2013 Sub's special "choice" option will be.
It would be easy to read his comment as a fun tease, if he hadnt been posting negative sentiments regarding the customer base
His demeanor here is a little confusing.
A Want List of Sorts: at this point... I just hope there is a 2017...
I didn't see it as snarky.
Got Man-E-Faces, Give 'em Whiplash when I Battle-Cats
It would really suck if it was done like Hasbro's Marvel Legends poll, Sunfire won and the rest never saw the light of day. Granted the line came to an end but it didn't seem like they planned to make the others in poll.
It needs to be the winner is released that year and other just go back to there place on the "master list."
I wonder if the poll will be made up of the characters that are rumored to have already been sculpted but pushed back for some reason or another, like Sweet Bee.
Brian I can see where Scott's comment could be taken as snarky, he is good at snarky. It's just like I said in my post to Scott yesterday it's all about his tone, he doesn't seem to realize how he's coming across sometimes. Or he's just a jerk.

"Don't crowd me boys!"
I thought it was funny too. I think every one could stand to take themselves a little less seriously at times. It's easy to get swept up in drama and start taking everything really personally. So taking a step back is never a bad thing.
Upcoming MOTU-inspired Graphic Novel: www.eonquest.com
What would this forum be without rampant uncontrolled speculation and holding you to your every word as if it were the law? I kid...sort of. There's plenty of good stuff here and I don't see why people would be upset about a possible fan's choice poll. I don't agree 100% with everything Toy Guru says and does, but some of you take this way too personally
A fan poll would be awesome (and something we've been asking for since 2008, actually ). I'm a tad worried about the results though. Mattel and voting/poll results haven't had a good relationship in the past... Not just MOTUC either! Monster High just had a character choice poll between 3 characters and 1 character had like 30% more votes than the other (which was in 2nd or last place). Then the poll went down and no one could vote for 1/2 an hour or something...and then the character that was leading mysteriously lost! I read about it. I didn't witness this...but still.
Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.
You can join the Illumina Facebook page here!
How about an add-on sub (like the 30th) that has a much lower production run (only sold in a sub) that will have 4-6 figures that fans get to vote on...out of a list of say 18-20?
Just show an artist rendering of those 18-20 and have a vote. Doing this would allow you to control which characters can be done (based on a reuse of parts, etc.)
That doesn't necessarily mean that the others in the list aren't going to be made...just not in 2013. Then the following year you could do it again and eventually you'll get to all 18-20.
All I have to say is, if his comment was snarky... can you really blame him? It's true!
A fan poll would be kickin for sure, but a lot of people would be disappointed and a lot of people would be happy with the results. If they do one, I sure hope too that the characters not winning would be available later down the road. It would add some excitement for sure, but I would fear the results backlash....
Snarky or not, why hasn't the rampant uncontrolled speculation resumed?!
I'd really like it if a poll included say ten choices, the top six of which would be included in the following year. Then the remaining four could be in the next year's poll along with six new choices. And so on it would go so long as sales and feedback on the options are all good. Heck, their presence on the poll might make them more desired. Is that realistic?
Also, how obscure are we talking about here? Is this like basically every mini comic character from King Hiss's bride to the delivery boy from Menace of Modulok? Is this one-shot Filmation characters like King Tamusk (okay, I know he has fans) and Queen Elmora from She-Demon of Phantos (ditto, me included)? Would you include hard to make guys like Sortech and Vormus from MYP in here? See they'd need smaller bucks because they were skinny sorcerers, so they could be included when and if a thinner buck was finally made for, say, Lizard Man or 200x Prince Adam in the regular line!
My impression is that Illumina would definitely be in one of the characters in this poll. What about her cat? Would there be one or two large item options for characters like that? What about other MVC-created characters like Might Bite and Waspor? Are they available and would you include them along with info about who they would be if they fit into MOTUC? Scott, I know you could have fun writing that. I assume Waspor and Might Bite were in the MVC pitch, and that Waspor had a design. If not...well, the Horsemen could actually sketch ideas.
And this brings me to another option. Have the Horsemen sketch all the potential figures in their own style to be shown with the poll!!!! If people had seen Mighty Spector's sketch before the figure, I think there would have been more positivity in the response to him when his figure was first shown (there would still have been descent naturally, there has been for every figure, but the sketch looked really good I thought). Look at what Royaltrus did with his fan staction contest a few years ago! He brought all the finalists into the same level of style and detail so that the characters were judged by how cool they would look instead of how cool they might look. I know, the Horsemen may not have time to do this. But then again, maybe they'd love it too! How long do you have before you'd have to offer up the poll? Next year's SDCC? That's a good amount of time for ten drawings!
I think this could be fun, honestly. Besides, if the line does well long enough, the other choices could get made too! Happens with SW all the time, not to compare the two, but...
I think if it was all characters who had very low support ahead of time, we could actually enjoy it. (Well, those of who enjoy enjoying things, that is...)

That is good to know!!! Thank you for stopping that conspiracy theory before it got any legs
I do humbly ask that "if and when" a fan's choice figure ever happens that you do put Illumina in the running!!! It would be great to see Mattel give her a fair chance at being made!!!!
Quite right! I like your suggestions, by the way. As for how this works - I'd like to see another add-on sub like the 30th Anniversary line this year (4-6 characters) that's all fan-choice characters! It'd be cool if the last spot was one of the runner-ups from the Create-A-Character contest. Maybe Mattel could post the runner-up entrants and everyone could vote on their favorite.

I loved Scott's answer. Sometimes that guy is a hoot! It really did make me smile!
Damn Toyguru, you need to start TMing your remarks otherwise Vocal Minority and Rampant Speculation are going to find their way on a T-Shirt and you are going to be out some $$$$ which could go in to the MOTUC budget to give us more SKU's, more Mini Comics and more opportunities for you to comment past _______ .
We know that the characters from the vintage line are almost a sure thing. Plus they are more likely to make the poll one sided. I'd like it be with obscure character from the comics and cartoons. Not the most requested characters like, Octavia, Shikoti, Scorpia, Sea Hawk, and so on. It should be characters that have less of chance to make the cut. Like Hunga, Lady Valtira, Spydra, and so on. (I'm pulling these names out the air so they may not be the best examples, and my spelling sucks)

Resale ticket prices soar for Man U-Real Madrid
Want to be in the stands when soccer titans Manchester United and Real Madrid clash at Michigan Stadium on Aug. 2?
You'll have to try the secondary ticket market.
There were more than 2,200 tickets available on StubHub.com on Friday, ranging from $225 to $1,652. Face value ranged from $45 to $189.
The tournament is a product of Relevant Sports, a division of New York City-based RSE Ventures investment firm that was co-founded in 2012 by noted University of Michigan alumni Stephen Ross, the billionaire real estate investor and owner of the Miami Dolphins who has donated $313 million to the university over the years.
The university sold 11,000 tickets to donors, students, staff and other university-related people. Relevant Sports sold the rest. It reportedly may put a small number of tickets on sale some time before August.
The stadium's normal capacity is 109,901. Relevant didn't provide a specific ticket sales total.
UM's athletic department isn't keeping any money from ticket sales or concessions. Instead, it's getting a lump sum lease fee from Relevant Sports.

I am a 32 year old male with mild psoriasis on my forehead just below hairline and two small areas on cheeks. It is well controlled with steroid creams. I have purchased a package of six 70% vivite glycolic acid peels(only offer 70%) and six microdermabrashion treatments. I just had my first demabrashion with no side affects. What sequence would you suggest as far as treatment beetween the peels and dermabrasion and steroid cream?

Problems of Vertical and Horizontal Arrangement in the High Mountains of the Extreme Arid Zone (Central Sahara)

Three geomorphological-ecological altitude stages in the mountains of the extreme arid zone are described: glacial or nival forms, solifluction or "periglacial appearances," and the problem of the upper tree line. The present altitude levels are not thermally dependent in the alpine, Mediterranean, or fully tropical sense, but are primarily influenced by availability of moisture. They are not comparable with high mountains of other climatic zones and are subject to their own laws. In the fully arid mountain areas of the tropics an extratropical thermal seasonal climate clashes with a tropical monsoon precipitation distribution. As the winter temperature regime at higher levels is adequate to induce frost-climate processes in winter, not a greater height, but a higher moisture supply, is required for initiation of snow and frost processes. Direction of wind and precipitation, as well as a sheltered radiation position, are more important than altitude. The summer precipitation with some heavy rainfall is insufficient at the upper tree line. Humidity does not increase linearly with elevation. Temperature conditions are suitable for tree growth in the high areas of these mountains, but moisture supply is the limiting factor, as is the case for the formation of nival forms and patterned ground. Temperatures of the free air show only a slight curvature in summer over the dry belt and in winter a regular increase towards the equator. Missing altitude levels cannot, therefore, be thermally explained and extended theoretically across the arid zone. The high mountains of the arid belt develop a zone of thermal readiness with punctual appearances of nivation, patterned ground, and tree vegetation, dependent on episodic or local moisture supply but independent of altitude and latitude. If aridity is ameliorated and temperature falls (e.g., as during the last cold period), there will be a double effect. The thermally prepared altitude level becomes active and is simultaneously extended to lower levels by the temperature depression. Therefore, the mountains in the arid zone of the tropics, on a borderline between northern and southern climatic influences, will become a most sensitive indicator for the very smallest climatic and circulatory oscillations. A very fine differentiation of cloud formation between different mountain ranges and even within the same mountain range is shown by satellite pictures. The currently accepted vertical and horizontal arrangement of the high mountains in the extreme arid zone may require significant revision as more data become available.

50 Cent set to make beautiful music with Ashley Cole
50 Cent – Ashley's shoulder to cry on
They say that whenever one door closes, a window opens. Or it might be the other way round. The window first, then the door. Either way, the point is that, in life, one humongous cock-punch can frequently lead to a surprisingly soft kiss on the mouth just when you least expect it.
Metaphorically speaking.
And today, the big news is that Ashley Cole has just been on the receiving end of a figurative smooch from the buxom street rapper, 50 Cent.
As he wrestles the various demons that have obliterated his personal life, the zippy defender looks set to put his woes behind him by channeling some of his frustration into hip hop. "Fiddy" said this (as reported in the Daily Mirror):
"Ashley's passionate about his music. We actually wrote a song together."
"We created an idea and it was used in a film. We'll probably get together and have some fun. I've got his number."
So might a Cheryl versus Ashley chart battle be in the offing?

This is the model my dad built for me for my 16th birthday. I had told him as a joke that I wanted a yellow Corvette for my birthday. I knew he was building the model but he told me he was doing it for a guy at work. When he gave it to me, he told me that HE was the guy at work he was building it for! The plate on the front says "1985 VET" and the vanity plate on the back says "SWEET 16" He likes adding details like that. It's a 1985 because that's the year I was born!
I'll only accept challenges from other model cars with my Corvette model!
You'll have to ask my dad, CorvairJim.

No Hollywood BIM Allowed
Movie stars, fast cars, and cocktails by the pool. That's what people imagine when you say the word Hollywood. When you say Hollywood to a General Contractor or Architect, the first thing that pops to mind is Hollywood BIM and the firms who try to woo Owners with spinning models and slick salesmanship.
In contrast, progressive Architects and GCs share one common goal: they want to win projects by exceeding Owner expectations again and again.
Graphisoft and Trimble Vico cordially invite you to an afternoon BIM seminar – but no poolside cocktails, no movie stars, and definitely no Hollywood BIM. From scratch, we'll show basic 3D modeling and how those models can be exploited for construction-caliber quantities, 4D schedules, and 5D estimates by savvy GCs.
The result is two-fold: new partnerships between Architects and GCs; and new and integrated 3D-4D-5D BIM deliverables that win new business, deliver it profitably, and knock the socks off Owners.
Come see for yourself:
Who: Graphisoft and Trimble (the cool layout and laser scanning people who acquired Vico)
What: No Hollywood BIM Allowed Seminar
When: Wednesday, February 27th – 5:30 PM
Where: Four Points Sheraton LAX - 9750 Airport Boulevard, Los Angeles CA 90045
What you'll see:
What you'll get:
When Architects and Contractors get together early on a project, we see a reduction in change orders, tighter schedules, early and more frequent design-cost feedback and enhanced project controls. When Architects and Contractors get together early on a project with Graphisoft and Trimble Vico, we see a big win. No Hollywood BIM allowed.

They risk their lives to save whales
Most likely, the gray whale didn't understand.
It probably didn't understand why heavy plastic rope was tangled in its mouth and around its left pectoral flipper. And it probably didn't understand that the people on the boat – the humans who were like water skiers towed by a 40-foot creature roughly 10 times bigger than a circus elephant – were only trying to help.
We can't be sure what the whale did or didn't understand.
What we can be sure of is that the people from the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach knew what they were doing. The PMMC is the only organization in Orange County licensed to disentangle whales. They are highly trained not to hurt the whale or themselves – though, of course, there's no guarantee that the whale won't hurt them.
What you have in the course of rescuing a whale is a classic failure to communicate, something that makes the process extremely dangerous.
This spring, the team has had an unusual amount of practice.
The adult whale entangled in rope was spotted at lunchtime April 17 between Newport and Laguna Beach. The Harbor Patrol and others followed it to Dana Point until the PMMC disentanglement crew arrived.
Their encounter with the whale would end at dark, still unfinished.
To disentangle a whale you have to get up close, explains Dean Gomersall, who leads the PMMC rescue team. This is why it is dangerous.
Their first objective was to hook onto the entanglement with a 100-foot control line attached to a buoy. This slows the whale and makes it easier to track.
It was hide and seek of leviathan proportions.
"For 45 minutes we followed that whale, losing it and finding it," recalls Dana Friedman, a veteran volunteer on the rescue team.
The agitated whale kept diving.
"After it surfaced, a quarter mile away, we only had 30 seconds ... to race over to where it was going to surface again and then throw the grapple line."
Attaching the hook is like threading a needle while bouncing on a trampoline.
The rescuers practice; a lot. In 90 minutes they attached three lines.
Then the rescuers turned off their engine and lifted it out of water so it couldn't cut the whale while they drifted close enough to cut the lines.
That's when water skiing comes in. The whale was towing the rescue boat at 3 to 5 knots when, suddenly, the whale stopped. The boat did not, gliding over the whale — which returned the bump.
"We got a jolt," says Gomersall. "It's got to be scary for the whale."
How about scary for the rescuers?
"The tail is the danger zone," he admits. "A gray whale can move its flukes quickly and slice a boat right in half."
The whale tried to strike them at least once.
The team uses an expandable pole to attach a knife onto the entanglement. Once they hook the knife to the entanglement, they detach the pole leaving the knife on a line with a buoy at the other end.
The tension of the buoy pulls when the whale dives, and the tension forces the knife cut the rope around it.
When they stopped, at dark, they were 10 miles offshore and had cut away more than 120 feet of line.
Was the whale slowing down?
Not much.
"It was hard to leave," Friedman admits. "We were fearful nobody would find the whale again."
The next morning, they couldn't.
California's coastal waters are a transportation corridor for gray whales migrating from Alaska to Mexico for the winter and heading north for the summer.
More than 19,000 gray whales, many mothers and calves, have been commuting north this season. They swim as close as three miles off the coast.
The National Marine Fisheries Service says about 10 sightings per year along Washington, Oregon and California involve rescuing a whale from fishing gear or mooring lines. This year Southern California alone has had three.
The number indicates growing public awareness, says Monica Deangelis, a marine mammal biologist with the National Marine Fisheries Service. More people are reporting what they see. The service investigates incidents to work toward preventing them.
This spring's first rescue, in March, was a smaller gray whale entangled in gill netting – a latticed plastic curtain, finer than a six-pack ring, which hangs in the water to trap fish. They're banned off California coasts.
The whale was dragging over 100 feet of gill net, with dead sharks and a decomposing sea lion inside. It took seven hours to free the whale, which later died.
The second rescue, also in March, was a whale wrapped in fishing line. Rescuers, including Gomersall, followed it north from Orange County. The line was wrapped so tightly there was only one spot with enough slack to cut. They hit the sweet spot.
"We knew immediately this was a success," recalls Peter Wallerstein of Marine Animal Rescue in El Segundo. "We were elated."
Twenty-five years ago, he would just jump in the water to rescue whales caught in gill nets. Today he says tools and training have improved.
Nevertheless, disentangling whales is strictly "don't try this at home."
"Physically, they can be intimidating," Gomersall emphasizes. "It's extremely dangerous to get near them."
Still, it has to be exciting. Helping a whale must feel like an act of friendship – and isn't that a form of communication?
Gomersall once helped hold a baby whale that was beached.
"Looking into those eyes staring at you was kind of neat... Their eyes seem to be very thoughtful."
We don't know what whales know, but the team was jubilant recently to learn the fate of the whale they tried to rescue in April.
It was spotted May 3 near San Francisco, still towing its buoys. This time, rescuers cut all the ropes. They say the whale took a lap around the boat before it sped off.
Could have meant thank you.
To report a whale in distress, call the National Marine Fisheries Service hotline at 1-877-SOS-WHAL or call the Pacific Marine Mammal Center at 949-494-3050.
