These are from 1936.
The cartoon credits Seymour Kneitel and Roland Crandall as animators.
I'm not sure who did this scene but it's Jim dandy.
Did you know that Jack Kirby of Marvel fame worked on this short?
Notice the funny teeth on Bluto. That's probably the thing that stands out the most about these framegrabs. I wish you could find funnier teeth in modern cartoons, but teeth are so overlooked as something to be made fun of.
The 1935-36 Popeyes, especially from the Seymour Kneitel unit, use an amazing amount of lines to detail the faces of the characters in close-up (Willard Bowsky's and Dave Tendlar's units went a little less heavy on the lines to indicate facial creases or individual hairs, which 'cutened up' the characters a bit and pretty much became the default designs we remember for the mid-30s Fleischer Popeyes).
I love Popeye's hand. It's so meaty!
Yup, great poses from some of the most unique animated cartoons ever made! A pity the Fleischer color Popeye shorts (__not__ those tired Famous studio remakes) haven't made it to DVD yet.
Imagine what JK could do with Popeye (instead we'll get Sony Pictures 3D Popeye in a year or so)! At least a new Popeye comic strip inspired by the original E.G. Segar is on the horizon.
This year we'll get to contrast Fleischer Popeye with October's Blu-Ray onslaught of Disney's CINDERELLA. Cindy saved Disney's studio and (because??) it was first entirely shot as live action (it "nailed our feet to the floor!" commented one Disney animator).
BKM, I didn't know J. Kirby worked on Fleischer popeyes...how did he contribute?
Oops.. wrt the color Fleischer Popeye shorts, their two reelers are part of Turner's current Popeye DVD collections. It's their one reelers such as "We're On the Road to Rio" that aren't on DVD (so far).
Fleischer had such beautiful thoughtful inking for an animated cartoon, as I'm sure John Kricfalusi can attest to.
If folks haven't seen the Seymour Kneitel blog please visit it here:
Seymour Kneitel blog
Kurtwil, all of the Fleischer Popeye cartoons are on DVD, including the three color specials, as well as all of the B&W Famous Studios Popeye cartoons.
Hey, Kurtwil, there's gonna be a new Popeye comic strip? Do you know if it'll be in newspapers or online or both? Thanks for the info.
I agree about John doing a Popeye movie. Why oh why can't the studios hire him to reboot one of these franchises?? I could only imagine how awesome a John K animated Popeye movie would be! It would be out of this world, beyond comprehension.
haha i agree with Roberto about teeth. There were some great Bugs cartoons where the animator give him huge human teeth. I will have to find the name of them.
HOLY COW! These are pure cartooning! Clean Shaven Man is a genius cartoon. Anyone else still have the song stuck in their head? Any Popeyes with Seymour Kneitel or Willard Bowsky are top stuff.
I would love that DVD but again, it's only available in Region 1, US and Canada only! Aargh! Why does NZ hate funny cartoons?
Frame by frame madness, can you imagine handling all those details?
SparkeyMK3, which DVD is "We're on the Road to Rio", a relatively rare color Popeye, found on? It is nowhere on the official Turner/Warners vol. 1, 2 and 3.
FYI enjoyed JK's commentary on LOST AND FOUNDRY....as timely as ever.
Hi John. Can you look into my gallery? Would be great to hear what you think of it. Thanks :)
I heard that after Popeye shaves, he rubs his face in Olive Oyl.
if you want me to look at something leave an active link
Sorry for the triple post. Am new to Blogger. Here is the link: Deviantart gallery. hope it works. Sandra Rivas suggested that I show you my stuff here. Thanks again for yout time.
His link worked for me maybe he edited it Jk.
His whackier stuff looks pretty good! Nice hyperbole. Some stuff is a bit odd proportion wise, it's highly stylistic.
Love the whackiness Dirk.
Also like your rendition of Spy Vs. Spy.
And that you remember Princess what's-her-name from Earth worm Jim!
Some good stuff!
You're very talented Dirk - and prolific!
Do you animate? Your icon gif looks pretty smooth.
Thanks! I animated a while, but I never got a job in the animation field so it kinda went to nowehere. I should get educated, but there is no afordable school or one that would take me around here. The avatar is made by a friend Erin Humiston.
Modern cartoons need to do funny teeth.
When I was a kid, any time a cartoon featured a song performance, I would get an uncomfortable embarrassed feeling. Most cartoon songs had songs that were very girly and lame. On the other hand, Popeye cartoons had these great, fun songs that would get jammed in my head for days. Even the later "Famous Studios" productions with the female Bluto song "Lonesome! Lonesome! Gotta Get Me a Man" and Olive Oyl's "If I Were President" were fantastic.
Every cartoon studio executive should force their animators and writers to watch the Popeye cartoons and write those songs as a rubric.

Only 30,000 farmers needed? eep your eye on the mergers and alliances among large food companies. Someday, you will probably need one for a partner.
At a recent seminar on biotechnology, a University of Missouri sociologist reports that by the next decade, the world's food production will be controlled by a handful of companies. Grain farmers will contract directly with these companies, becoming the first in a seamless chain of food production. Farmers will provide labor, land and equipment. "Farmers will slide right into these systems," reports William Heffernan, part-time farmer and rural sociologist. "Farmers will become growers and won't make major decisions. These systems will control the products from genes to the retail stores.
"In the seamless system, there will be no markets, no prices," he adds. "The first time the price of any input in the system will be public information is the supermarket. Even the price of animal feed like corn will not be known to the public because, like today's broilers, the products will not be (openly) sold."
Heffernan says he sees three global food clusters already emerging. They are Monsanto-Cargill, ConAgra and the ADM-Novartis-IBP alliance. Another three companies are on the verge of developing into food systems. Heffernan believes Zeneca, Aventis and DuPont could enter the realm of global clusters. However, DuPont may join on with ConAgra, he speculates. Another possible food system may occur with Dow AgroSciences and Mycogen.
The three global food systems already exert substantial control over the food industry, Heffernan adds. For example, market share of four grain industries are controlled by a few companies, which include some of the emerging global food systems like ADM, Cargill and ConAgra (see table).
Signs of these major food companies moving to the farm level are seen in contracts now being offered to farmers for grain production, Heffernan says. These contracts are similar to those in the hog and poultry industries. The grower provides labor, land and equipment. The contractor provides seed, chemicals and management.
Fewer farms. Following a trend from the 1950s, farms will switch from family operations to industrialized organizations and drop in numbers, Heffernan says. Poultry switched to this system first and livestock production followed.
Crop farms are next. "We hear more and more about needing only 20,000-30,000 farmers in this country to produce a globalized, industrialized food system," Heffernan says. "Right now, we have about 300,000-500,000 commercial farms."
This scenario may make you shudder, but agriculture is not alone. "The food system is not any different from other economic systems of the global economy," Heffernan says. In fact, it is becoming more like the banking, computer, automobile and mass media industries.
Farmers may not like this system, but some are actually part of the fuel driving it. These firms are in the business to make money for stockholders, Heffernan explains. "We need to realize most of us have pension plans and we're personally invested in a variety of funds. We expect a high rate of return on our investment." These corporations use acquisitions and alliances to obtain those profits.

During the 1880s, Joseph B. Walker began to push what was then a radical idea: government purchase of private lands in the White Mountains to create a "public forest." In an address to the Fish and Game League, he suggested, "the purchase, at low and established prices, by the state, of some of the denuded areas recently cut over, to be held and managed hereafter as public forests." In 1892, the same year New York created a park in the Adirondacks, Walker asked New Hampshire to accept donations of land for preservation. But, hampered by a lack of funding, the state legislature did little: it passed a few forestry laws, created some temporary forestry commissions, and, in 1893, established a permanent forestry commission.
The value of the New Hampshire timber harvest doubled in the 1890s. In an 1893 article in the Atlantic Monthly, Julius H. Ward wrote that there had been a:
frightful slaughter of forest, the trees cut off entirely … and that what ought to be enchanting scenery along a great railway has been ruthlessly laid waste by the lumbermen and by fire.
The argument seemed to be that the state could either promote tourism or promote timber and pulp interests. "It is plain that in the future, if these great domains are to be maintained in their substantial integrity and wholeness, there must be some other arrangement for their protection and preservation than now exists, so that the charm of the region as a great national park may not be lost, and the rights of private owners, who have purchased this property in good faith and are entitled to revenues from it, may be preserved. The question is, What shall this protection be? and it is more easily asked than answered."
Pushing voluntary cooperation for forest management had minimal impact. Urging the state to buy the region would not work; the state could not afford to purchase even a small portion of the White Mountains. Congress refused to consider creating a national park. In 1892, North Carolina geologist Joseph A. Holmes offered a new idea: instead of a park, why not create eastern national forests to match the new western ones? New Englanders agreed. "The demand exists that the White Mountain region shall be in some way regarded as public property…. New Hampshire enjoys the unique distinction of having a domain which nature has pointed out for a great public park; not a sportsman's preserve… but a people's hunting and tramping ground, where the domain is as free as the air, and where every American feels that the endowments of nature are as permanent and secure as the Constitution." But was it constitutional for the national government to purchase private forest lands for public purposes?

Reineta apples from El Bierzo
Från vilket område i Spanien är det typiskt?
- Autonom region: Castilla y Leon
The Reineta apples from El Bierzo are known for their delicious flavour and excellent quality, and are one of the references for fruit in Castile-Leon.
The Reineta apple is grown in several regions on the Iberian Peninsula, but the topological and climatic conditions in the El Bierzo region of Leon are especially favourable for the production of a high quality apple. It has a proper balance between acid and a high sugar content, making it a highly valued variety of apple. Since January 2002 it has been considered a Protected Denomination of Origin product by the European Union. Its appearance is squatty, wider than it is tall, with a short petiole, and it is usually a large fruit. Its colour is pale green, not shiny, with a characteristic rust over much of the skin surface. It is consistent to the touch and not very grainy, and it may be consumed both fresh and baked.
Mer information
Information om produkten
- Typ av produkt: Fruit
- Säsong: The best season for consumption is between the months of September and November.
- Ursprung: The production, preparation and packaging area is the Region of El Bierzo, in the north-west part of the province of Leon. It is an area surrounded by a mountainous belt with topological and climatic characteristics that make it ideal for producing high quality apples with a perfect balance between sweet and sour.
- Rekommenderad dryck: The Apple, baked or as a dessert, is delicious with sweet dessert wines and sparkling wines.
- Recept: Red wine compote
- Utbud: The apples protected by the Reineta Apple from El Bierzo Denomination of Origin are the 'white reineta' (the most consumed) and 'grey or brown reineta' (lighter in taste) varieties.
Information om näringsvärdet
- Energy: Low
- Anmärkningar: Rich in fibre.

Finland Plans To Decriminalize Using Open WiFi [Updated]
from the finally dept
The Helsinki branch of financing firm GE Money apparently was scammed recently. Here's how it worked: (1) the company's own head of data security (2) stole banking software from the company after which he (3) took confidential users passwords for its bank accounts. He then (4) stole money from GE Money's accounts by transferring it to a (5) secret account he had set up months earlier. Oh yeah, he did this last bit (6) via an open WiFi connection.All those other things? No big deal. The problem here, according to many in Finland, was the open WiFi, the use of which was later outlawed (apparently via case law) (Updated to clarify that it was the use of open WiFi that was made illegal, not setting up open WiFi).
Thankfully, it looks like regulators there have now realized this was a total overreaction. Slashdot points us to the news that the Finish Justice Ministry is preparing to legalize the use of open WiFi (Google translation from the original Finnish) after realizing that open WiFi is both widely used and incredibly useful.
Finally, a side note, because this has come up before from commenters who think that I'm being inconsistent: supporting open WiFi does not mean that you support individuals not protecting themselves when using the open WiFi. In past threads, it was suggested that supporting open WiFi while pointing out how silly it is for people to complain about their own poor security habits was in disagreement. It is entirely reasonable and consistent to support open WiFi (at the access point level) while suggesting that individuals (at the user level) encrypt their own data. In fact, that's quite a useful situation: more open WiFi, but security at the user level, is really a situation that works best for everyone.

Chelsea want to sign Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, and reckon they can land him by installing Pep Guardiola as boss, writes the Sunday People.
The Uruguayan's agent, Pere, is the brother of the former Barcelona boss, and Anfield officials fear the link will trigger the 25-year-old's exit.
Roman Abramovich wants Guardiola as his next manager, and dreams of linking Suarez with Atletico Madrid's prolific frontman Radamel Falcao - who is believed to be heading to Stamford Bridge in January.
Manchester City will rival Chelsea for the Liverpool star's signature, but the Blues are willing to match the reigning Premier League champions' salary offer, providing they can sell Fernando Torres.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers will be determined not to lose Anfield's leading marksman, but even the £50million price-tag hanging over the South American's head is unlikely to put Abramovich off.
Meanwhile, Guardiola is currently enjoying a year-long sabbatical after leaving the Nou Camp in May, and despite strong interest in his services, the Spaniard is refusing to discuss his future until Christmas.
Roberto Di Matteo is merely seen as a stop-gap for Chelsea and Russian owner, Abramovich, with the Italian tactician's stock taking another blow yesterday following a 2-1 Premier League defeat against West Brom at The Hawthorns.

Primary aim of SeCom is to develop an innovative, active and problem-based learning methodology for flood risk management education and training.
The main aim of this project is to build the capacity in flood risk management for water professionals and undergraduades through identifying synergies, sharing knowledge, and strengthening partnerships between universities and stakeholders.
- Developement of an dynamic and active tools that allow all target?groups/users to assess their knowledge about flood risk management.
Such a tool helps to identify the shortage in knowledge and attributes required for the implementation of the EU Flood Risk Directive and achieving its objectives.
- Developement of an innovative, active and problem?based learning methodology for flood risk education and training
(i.e. new educational and VET practices and methods) that capitalizes on the principles of Web Based Collaboration & Game Based Learning.
- Developement of flood related Vocational Education & Training (VET) modules for water professionals (involving the students to gain practical experience).
This includes modules for undergraduate students on flood risk management and protection with main focus on the EU FRD and other water directives (e.g. EU WFD) with the possibility for stakeholders to add new practical?oriented contents & quality assurance mechanisms.
Group A: Experienced flood risks professionals who work in government sectors.
- Their main needs are to gain knowledge about EU FRD and its interrelationships with EU water directives.
- They also need to share flood related vocational knowledge with EU countries and get exposed to other flood best/worst practices.
- They have limitation of time to attend training sessions and travel across borders.
Group B: Undergraduade students of civil engineering
- They need to learn such tough & hard topics in an attractive environment and have access to professional experiences and future employers.
- The current exam indicators show the difficulty of the topic especially the EU FRD.
The project will have a wide impact on water sector across Europe. It will bring together many EU universities and professional entities to learn, plan, and manage flood risk for better European future. SeCom provides profesionals from Group A with all necessary knowledge and experiences (VET) in the forms of: Web Based Training materials Virtual field trips through the river for investigating different flooding scenarios Collaborative game Assessments Undergraduades Group B are provided with necessary knowledge and experiences (VET) in the forms of: Collaborate and learn from their colleagues as well as flood professionals through collaborative learning tools. Learning modules for theoretical topics. Game?based river simulation and flooding city environment is expected to attract other students from different EU countries.

LEWISTON, Maine - Behind six individual wins, the nationally-ranked No. 9 MIT women's track and field team captured the NCAA Division III New England Championship for the first time in program history on Saturday. Jacqui Wentz took first place in both the 1000 meters and the mile while Andrea Bradshaw ran an outstanding 800 meters to help the Engineers capture the regional championship. Sophomore Hazel Briner won the pentathlon while setting a school record on Friday for the Cardinal and Grey as well.
Bradshaw set a school record while achieving an NCAA Provisional cut time in the 800 meters, finishing in 2:15.18. Wentz's mile time was just a second and a half off her Institute record pace set last week. She followed that performance by setting a personal record in a victory at 1000 meters with a time of 2:59.18. In the 55-meter hurdles, Amy Magnuson (8.44) and Portia Jones (8.49) went one-two, as both hit NCAA Provisional marks. The 4x400 meter relay team gave Tech its final event win of the day, knocking off the second-place team from Tufts with a time of 4:02.73.
Jones also broke a pair of her own MIT records in the 200 and 400 meters. In the 200m, Jones ran to a fourth-place showing with a school record time of 26.10 seconds. She then achieved an NCAA Provisional qualifying mark and broke her own Institute record by over a second, by finishing two laps of the track in 58.69 en route to a second-place finish.
On Friday afternoon Briner captured the pentathlon 3,072 points, courtesy of first-place finishes in the shot put and 800m and second-place in the high jump and 55m hurdles. Her point total surpassed Nydia Clayton's record of 3,063 points set in 2001.
Tech's total of 134 points was enough to hold off second-place Williams (118) and Tufts (108), the defending New England champions.
MIT will compete in the New England Collegiate Indoor Championship next weekend at Boston University.

Planting for the Future

Trees are a mark of history. We look at the number of rings to determine the age of a tree. We look at the characteristics of the rings, such as how thick or thin they are, their color and other attributes to determine the types of years that have affected the growth of the trees and other living organisms. We can see drought, earthquakes, forest fires, fast or slow growth, pressure points from another tree, damage from construction and so forth reflected in the historical replication of the rings. They even clean the air and water for us without as much as a rustle. There are songs written about them, people and treasure buried near them and a cherry tree has even led the juvenile tirades of a President. >> read article

It takes a lot for a cookbook to truly hold my attention, and the stories and recipes, in addition to the soundtrack, of Bryant Terry's Vegan Soul Kitchen did just that. This past January, his latest, The Inspired Vegan was released, and I've been captivated. The words, the quotes, the instructions and meal components, were just that, inspired. I immediately placed a hold at my library upon its release, and after two weeks and multiple recipes on my table, I purchased my own copy.
Bryant Terry is simultaneously an activist for food justice within the culinary world – and beyond, as he is an author, chef, and parent, taking a lot of inspiration for his books from his daughter's birth.
The human connection and understanding of what we put into our mouths, and how, and with whom, is fascinating. I may not have a space to garden of my own, but I'm anxiously awaiting my first Portland farmers market visit of the season this weekend, and returning home with a notion of that evening's dinner unfolding in my head.
Sunday night's dinner from The Inspired Vegan brought the following to the table:
- Meyer Sipping Gingerly cocktails with local New Deal Vodka
- Cayenne simple syrup
- Roasted chili oil – simple, yet sensational flavor
- Tofu in roasted chili oil with peanuts
- Garlic braised gai lan
- Red* beans with thick gravy and roasted garlic
A couple of weeks ago, I took my first leap into the book for a dinner party. My guests, some dear friends, have a variety of dining habits, and every dish included was eaten by all.
On the table for this dinner:
- Wet jollof rice with garlic parsley paste – a vibrant, perfect accompaniment
- Funmilayo fritters [baked with coconut oil spray] with harissa – I find myself starting to praise another accompaniment, so, you get my drift. It wouldn't stop.
- Bright-black fingerling* potatoes
- Chipotle & blood orange ketchup [adapted from the plum ketchup]
- Gingered sesame brittle [I couldn't find my candy thermometer and over-caramelized, but the final product remained intriguing]
- fresh thyme
- Moskarella #1 & rice crackers, a bonus from Isa's test kitchen
- in addition: cherry vanilla sodas with fresh blood orange and local Burnside Bourbon
*I subbed Yukon Gold potatoes
In short, if you're appreciate of creative, plant-based cuisine, pick this up.

Fishlabs: iPad Completes Apple's Assault on Gaming
Developer reception to last week's official iPad unveiling continues to flood in, almost all offering a positive take on Apple's new device. Indeed, one constant theme in the multitude of responses seems to be that, rather than taking on the role of iPhone successor, most believe the iPad will actually complement Apple's current line-up.
'Together with the iPod Touch and the iPhone, Apple covers the full range from entry level handheld gaming devices, to one of the best smartphones available, and a mobile high res computing device,' Fishlabs CEO, Michael Schade, told Pocket Gamer. 'If the iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch weren't bad enough news for Nintendo and Sony, the iPad is going to be the ultimate nightmare.'
Its size is a fairly unique trait in terms of gaming devices. Console launches usually either represent a follow-up to an existing platform, or a divergence, such as a handheld release. While it's fair to say that the PSP isn't in direct competition with PlayStation 3, for example, they do compete with each other in terms of play time and the dollars they demand from your wallet.
Actually running the same OS and offering the same games, allowing gamers to dip in on iPhone when they're on the go before having a bash on iPad when they get home, is a completely different setup to the model most manufacturers have to work with. According to Fishlabs, it's this ability to give gamers another, upgraded way of playing games they already enjoy on iPhone or iPod touch that really sets iPad apart from the competition.
'The iPhone has already proved you can't think all the game ideas you can do on it. The iPad will just expand these possibilities,' Schade said. 'Games will look so much better on the iPad and we will see even more complex gameplay on the bigger screen with better connectivity than on handhelds at a much cheaper price. Even big publisher will bring their top franchises to the iPad which, to a certain degree, was the last resort of the DS and PSP.'
Fishlabs, which has enjoyed significant success on iPhone with the likes of Rally Master Pro 3D and Waterslide Extreme, naturally plans to exploit the opportunities iPad offers– and not just in terms of upgrading existing titles.
'For us it means we can go even further in terms of graphical quality and depth in gameplay with our console-type games such as Galaxy On Fire and Rally Master Pro, and without saying too much now, we will have something fresh for the launch of the iPad.'

Ang Thong National Marine Park
Ang Thong Marine Park is a fascinating archipelago of 60 or so islands to the north west of Ko Samui.
Most of the islands are close to each other making a breathtaking panorama sailing around the park. All the islands are of different sizes and shapes. Most of them are covered with tropical forests and named after their distinguishing geography, a kind of descriptive appellation, such as 'Sleeping Cow Island' and 'Three Pillar Island'.
Angthong, translates as 'golden bowl', occupies almost 250 sq km and includes 50 sq km of limestone islands and karsts topography which rise from the sea as dramatic rock cliffs and bizarre rock formations. Caves, hidden lagoons and white sand beaches are there to be explored and snorkeling among the shallow coral gardens makes a popular and fascinating day trip.
Ang Thong National Marine Park is a protected nature area consisting of over 40 islands, and is famous for its natural beauty. All of the islands are uninhabited and undeveloped except for one. This island, Ko Paluay, is inhabited by sea-gypsies who still earn a living from fishing.
Flora and fauna
The woods in this national park can be classified as dry evergreen forest, beach forest and limestone forest. Dry evergreen forests are found in larger islands like Wuatalab, Paluay and Samsao. Beach forests are lighter woods found in small stretches along the beaches and the shoulders. Limestone forests are found on limestone mountains with thin soil layer. Plants are smaller.
Larger animals do not thrive on these islands as they are small and dominated mostly by steep limestone mountains, with only few lightly to moderately slanted plains. Sixteen species of mammals like otters, langurs, crab-eating monkeys, hogs, silver haired bats, dolphins and whales are found.
Other inhabitants are at least 54 species of birds, including Little Herons, Brahminy Kites, Common Sandpipers, Oriental Pied Hornbills, Drongoes and Hill Mynas. 14 species of reptiles are found like ground lizards, iguanas, Green turtles, Hawksbill turtles, phytons and cobras.
Only five species of amphibious animals like Common Asian Toads, Tiger frogs, Rugose frogs, Grass frogs and Tree frogs.
The waters of the national park are home to Butterfly fish, Angel fish, Parrot fish, Blue-Spotted fantail rays, Blacktip reef sharks, snappers groupers, sea slugs, blue swimming crabs, sea fans, sea whips, giant clams, oysters and coral.
The park serves as well as breding ground for mackerels.
Get in
Access to the Marine Park is controlled, but there are several Samui based boat rental and kayak operators who are licenced carriers, catering to both independent visitors and in organized kayaking/camping trips.
From Ko Tao, Island Cruises,is doing a 4 day live aboard to Ang Thong.
Entrance fee to the marine park: Normally not included in the tour fee unless otherwise specified, 400 baht/person, 200 baht for kids under 12 years old. Thai nationals pay 80 baht.
Get around
The most common transport are tour boats taking 40-50 people, with lunch on board. Or else you can take speedboat tours which also provide a snorkeling program. It gets you to the archipelago faster. The best way is to put together a group of friends to hire a boat and explore the islands and beaches in your own time.
Most tours go to the Park's Visitor Center for lunch and kayaking. The Visitor Center is visited by most tour operators, making it very crowded. This applies for the time from about 10am to 4pm. Before and after it's a totally secluded place with almost nobody around.
Ko Mae Ko (Mother Island) is a must to visit. Here, an emerald seawater lake in the middle of the island is encircled on all sides by limestone cliffs, but linked by an underground tunnel connecting with the sea. Reaching the lake entails a strenuous climb of 40 minutes or so, but is rewarded with a spectacular view across the whole park.
Caves in many of the islands have intriguing rock formations. Visit one for an awesome experience. The beaches are surrounded with excellent coral reefs which make for perfect swimming and snorkeling. Hundreds of beaches here in the archipelago are deserted. Get a boat and find your own secret beach away from the crowds.
Other popular sites are Ko Sam Sao (Tripod Island) with an extensive coral reef and Wua Talap Island or 'sleeping cow'. It takes some effort to climb up the steep 430m hill to a viewpoint offering great scenery of the entire archipelago and the mainland.
The Park headquarters offer two "bars" that sell beer. And by bar, this usually means a cooler full of beer. But when sitting on the beach watching the sun set, it beats most bars and clubs fairly easily.
The park headquarters are located on Ko Wua Talab, which has basic bungalow accommodation.
Probably one of the best hikes in Thailand. In the National Park headquarters there is a path leading up the side of the rocks. This will take maybe 25-30 minutes to walk up, and well worth it. With a breathtaking view of all the Ang Thong islands, the end result of the hike is well worth it. Beware though, the hike is very steep in some sections and offer questionable ropes to hang on to. But this hike will justify the trip to Ang Thong alone.

Dell Inc. has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Make Technologies, a global provider of application modernization software and services for re-engineering applications.
Financial terms of the deal were not reported in the April 5 announcement.
Make Technologies' approach to the automation of application and code migration has helped IT departments significantly reduce both volume of code and associated operational costs.
With the acquisition of the Vancouver, British Columbia, company, the purchase of Clerity Solutions Inc. and existing Dell Services capabilities, Dell can provides end-to-end solutions from hardware through application migration services, the computer giant said.
Dell on Wednesday announced its acquisition of Clerity Solutions, a provider of applications modernization and re-hosting solutions and services.
Make Technologies' approximately100 employees will join the Dell Services team.
"The addition of Make Technologies and Clerity Solutions to Dell Services positions us to lead in the fast-growing applications modernization space," Dell Services President Steve Schuckenbrock said in the announcement.
The transaction, which remains subject to customary conditions, is expected to close in the second quarter of Dell's fiscal year.
Dell Inc., of Round Rock, Texas, ranks No. 15 on Washington Technology's 2011 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors.

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Juniata scored on its opening drive, but Gettysburg halted the Eagles on their final 10 possessions and the Bullets earned a 28-7 Centennial Conference victory Saturday afternoon at Shirk Field at Musselman Stadium.
Senior quarterback Kody Smith accounted for three touchdowns for Gettysburg (3-0, 2-0 CC), which improved to 3-0 for the first time since the 1987 team started 6-0. Smith threw for 181 yards and a touchdown on 11-of-18 passing while rushing for 58 yards and two TDs.
Senior tailback Ted Delia added 68 yards rushing and a touchdown for Gettysburg while junior receiver Aden Twer caught three passes for 69 yards and a TD.
The Bullets, who entered the game leading Division III in rushing offense and scoring offense, outgained Juniata (1-3, 0-2 CC) 417-317 and out-rushed the Eagles 236-95. Gettysburg was ranked 11th in Division III in scoring defense entering the game and has now allowed just 14 points over three games.
Ward Udinski completed 22-of-47 passes for 222 yards for Juniata and rushed for 51 yards and a touchdown. Dominic Bornman caught seven passes for 57 yards.
Senior defensive tackle Ben Zepnick and freshman linebacker Kodie McNamara made eight tackles apiece for Gettysburg, marking a career-high for both, while junior linebacker Cody DiAmore contributed six hits and an interception to end Juniata's final drive, picking off a pass at the Bullet-5. Junior cornerback Hugo Nolasco added a career-high three pass breakups.
Noah Walstrom and Kevin Gorman made eight tackles apiece to lead Juniata while Brandon Felus made seven tackles and 2.0 sacks.
Udinksi drove the Eagles 80 yards on his team's opening drive and ran in a 2-yard touchdown run with 7:54 left in the first quarter. But Smith answered with a pair of rushing touchdowns, including a 1-yarder with 6:33 left in the second quarter and a 9-yarder with 3:52 remaining in the opening half, giving the Bullets a 14-7 advantage at the intermission.
On Gettysburg first drive of the second half, Smith found Twer down the left sideline for a 53-yard touchdown pass to make it 21-7.
Delia set the final score when he rushed for a 2-yard touchdown with 11:05 remaining.
Juniata threatened on its final drive, moving to the Gettysburg-26. But senior linebacker Larry DelViscio tipped a pass that DiAmore scooped up for his first career interception.

Establishment media and neo-cons still pretend NDAA doesn't apply to American citizens
Paul Joseph Watson
Wednesday, December 14, 2011
UPDATE: Obama has dropped his threat to veto the bill and is now expected to sign it into law. Remember – it was Obama's White House that demanded the law apply to U.S. citizens in the first place.
The bill which would codify into law the indefinite detention without trial of American citizens is about to be passed and sent to Obama's desk to be signed into law, even as some news outlets still erroneously report that the legislation does not apply to U.S. citizens.
"The House on Wednesday afternoon approved the rule for the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), setting up an hour of debate and a vote in the House later this afternoon," reports the Hill.
Mainstream news outlets like The Hill, as well as neo-con blogs like Red State, are still pretending the indefinite detention provision doesn't apply to American citizens, even though three of the bill's primary sponsors, Senator Carl Levin, Senator John McCain, and Senator Lindsey Graham, said it does during speeches on the Senate floor.
"It is not unfair to make an American citizen account for the fact that they decided to help Al Qaeda to kill us all and hold them as long as it takes to find intelligence about what may be coming next," remarked Graham. "And when they say, 'I want my lawyer,' you tell them, 'Shut up. You don't get a lawyer.'"
As Levin said last week, it was the White House itself that demanded Section 1031 apply to American citizens.
"The language which precluded the application of Section 1031 to American citizens was in the bill that we originally approved…and the administration asked us to remove the language which says that U.S. citizens and lawful residents would not be subject to this section," said Levin, Chairman of the Armed Services Committee.
Senator McCain also told Rand Paul during a hearing on the bill that American citizens could be declared an enemy combatant, sent to Guantanamo Bay and detained indefinitely, "no matter who they are."
Quite how those still in denial could even entertain the notion that the bill would not apply to American citizens when the Obama administration is already enforcing a policy of state assassination and killing American citizens it claims are "terrorists," without having to present any evidence or go through any legal process, is beyond naive.
With the White House having largely resolved its concerns with the bill, which had nothing to do with the 'indefinite detention' provision, Obama could put pen to paper as early as tomorrow on a law that if recognized will nullify the bill of rights – ironically tomorrow is "Bill of Rights Day".

Next stop on GBS' international tour: 'Germania'
The Greater Bridgeport Symphony's 2012-13 skip around the globe -- thanks to inventive musical programming -- lands in "Germania" on Saturday, Nov. 17.
The concert at Bridgeport's Klein Memorial Auditorium, with Gustav Meier conducting, will feature violinist Adele Anthony performing Max Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1, Opus 26. Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 3, Opus 55, known as "Eroica," is also on the bill.
Following nearly a year away from the podium caused by a broken hip, Meier returned to Bridgeport in mid-October to kick off the orchestra's 67th season with an "Americana" concert. After a stop at the North Pole for a holiday concert on Saturday, Dec. 8, the grand tour will continue March 16 with Meier leading a visit to "The Mediterranean."
The Swiss-born Meier announced a few weeks ago that he would retire from conducting at the end of this season -- his 41st in Bridgeport -- to devote more time to family, writing his memoirs and his teaching responsibilities.
A native of the island state of Tasmania, Australia, violinist Anthony's press biography points out that she was drawn to the instument as a toddler.
Quickly identified as a prodigy, Anthony became the youngest winner, at age 13, of the ABC Instrumental and Vocal Competition, performing the Sibelius Violin Concerto with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. (The prize also included a live national telecast of Tchaikovsky's only concerto written for the violin.)
Relocating to Manhattan, Anthony studied at the Juilliard School, where her three teachers were legends: Dorothy DeLay, Felix Falimir and Hyo Kang.
In 1990, she was chosen by the National Arts Club in Manhattan to perform at its Medal of Honor presentation ceremony to Zubin Mehta. She is the recipient of many awards, including first prize at the 1992 Aspen Music Festival Walton Competition.
She is married to violinist Gil Shaham.
GBS Executive Director Alexander Morr noted that the orchestra, which is undertaking a search for Meier's successor, is inviting the community to join the year-long celebration of Meier's life and commitment to Bridgeport.
"The community adores him," Morr said, adding that he encourages music fans to show their appreciation for Meier's contributions to the area's cultural life at "each and every concert."
The concert will be preceded by a free lecture, from 7 to 7:30 p.m., by Jeffrey Johnson, professor of music at the University of Bridgeport. It is open to all those holding tickets.
The tradition of pre-concert dinners will continue for patrons of the GBS at the Holiday Inn, 1070 Main St., in downtown Bridgeport. Prix fixe dinners will be provided at the hotel's Park City Grill prior to each concert, with seatings offered between 5:30 and 6 p.m. The dinners are open to symphony ticket holders on concert evenings only. The cost is $24.95 per person with a choice among four entrees. Reservations are required and may be made by calling the restaurant at 203-334-1234, ext. 5181.
email@example.com; 203-330-6284; http://twitter.com/PhyllisASBoros
Klein Memorial Auditorium, 910 Fairfield Ave., Bridgeport. Saturday, Nov. 17, 8 p.m. $56-$26, with student rush tickets available at the box office after 5 p.m. on concert day only. 203-576-0263, www.gbs.org.

Author Feedback
The Elsevier Author Feedback Programme
Discover how authors are shaping our services
Since 1999, we have been running the Author Feedback Programme, a continuous survey of authors' experience of publishing with us.
How does it work?
Corresponding authors of recently published articles are invited to answer questions concerning their publishing experience, providing insight into what authors think about the journal and support they receive. Click here to see the statements that authors are invited to rate.
Over 60,000 authors complete the survey each year!

* Based on 56,767 responses received between 1st July 2012 and 30 June 2013.
Feedback from 2012-2013 survey has included:
Responding to constructive criticism
We take author feedback very seriously. Here's a look at a few of the initiatives and improvements that came from listening to our authors:
Improving publication time
|"I was dismayed when after the rapid review, revision, acceptance, proof page, and online publication, that the actual article was delayed for so long."
Authors have identified the speed of publication as a major concern. Article-based publishing makes the article available online much quicker. Authors no longer have to wait for the compilation of the journal issue itself.
We have also made it a priority in recent years to clear out any backlog of unpublished accepted articles, often increasing the number of pages per issue in order to do so. New procedures, including Article-based publishing, ensure that backlogs do not build up again.
Improving the submission process
Authors have also informed us of their frustration when having spent valuable time formatting and submitting their paper to a journal, it is then rejected due to it being out of scope, or not suitable for the journal.
|"As mentioned earlier, I am not sure I agree with the fact that a large number of manuscripts simply don't get reviewed. From an author's standpoint, it is a waste of time to submit to such a Journal because even if the paper is rejected from other journals, at the very least, we are able to get peer-review comments."
In 2011, Elsevier launched the Article Transfer Service, to tackle this exact problem. If a paper is out of scope for one journal, the editor can recommend it be suitable to transfer. The author will then have the added option to transfer their manuscript using the free service, without having to reformat or resubmit.
|"Finding an appropriate journal is a challenge for me, I would suggest a system can help on this. Thank you!"
(Author on Industrial Crops and Products from Malaysia aged 26-35)
In 2013, we launched the Journal Finder which helps authors match their article, using the title and abstract, to the most relevant Elsevier journals. The tool also provides authors with key information about these titles, such as Impact Factor, speed of publication and acceptance rate, allowing them to make an informed decision as to which journal to submit their article to.
Improving the structure and expanding the content of the article
"I would love if Elsevier would start publishing graphical abstracts…. I think graphical abstracts are more helpful than written abstract."
"It would be nice to put online the data used in manuscripts."
The Article of the Future project seeks to improve the scientific article on ScienceDirect in all areas of content, context and presentation. All articles on ScienceDirect are now under a new revolutionary three-pane format. The format is more dynamic, makes content and data more accessible and includes apps that researchers can use to get better results or work more efficiently, such as Faculty of 1000 , which allows the reader to see at a glance if the article they're viewing is recommended reading, or Interactive Map Viewer which displays supplementary geospatial data from Elsevier online articles as an interactive map.
Most journals now accept Graphical Abstracts, which summarize the contents of the article in a concise, pictorial form designed to capture the attention of a wide readership online.
[Example from Preparation and integration of nanostructured titanium dioxide , Hua Chun Zeng, Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering, Volume 1, Issue 1, Pages 11-17]
Looking ahead
Elsevier wants to help all authors improve their publishing experience and output. To do that we have to continually think about the value and support we offer. Our surveys help us identify where we can make the most difference, so that we can continue to help researchers advance science.

NORTON, Mass. – Lauren Sascha Burton tallied a career-high 17 points as MIT committed an Institute-record six turnovers in a 64-39 loss to Wheaton College on Wednesday night. The Lyons improved to 9-5 on the year and 6-1 in NEWMAC play while the Engineers dipped to 2-11 overall and 0-7 in conference action.
Aparna Sud registered nine points, five rebounds, three assists and a trio of steals for the Cardinal and Gray. Liz Burton grabbed a team-high five boards as Kristen Whaley chipped in six points coming off the bench.
Natasha Colon Ortiz led Wheaton with a season-best 13 points and six rebounds. Ida Kruse recorded 10 points and six boards while Jenny Champney and Gabby Barbera pulled down seven rebounds apiece. Andrea Bailey dished out seven assists.
A game-opening 24-4 Wheaton run set the tone early, as the Lyons knocked down nine of their first 13 shots by the 10:32 mark. Ortiz had a scoring burst of seven points in 54 seconds to propel the hosts. Ortiz's seventh point in the run made the score 11-4 before a pair of threes by Stephanie Walker and a Bailey triple quickly extended the lead to 20-4. The Blue and White closed the frame on a 12-3 spurt en route to a 36-9 halftime advantage.
An Ortiz lay-up at 12:14 of the second frame pushed Wheaton's lead out to 52-17. Trailing 61-26 with 5:30 to go, MIT scored 13 straight points to get to within 22 at 24 seconds before a Barbera three finished the scoring.
In addition to their advantage in turnovers, the Engineers led the way in points off turnovers (8-3) and second-chance points (6-2).
