Taken at Muskoka Wildlife Centre near Gravenhurst, Ontario, Canada. This is Luna, a female Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus)—she’s about the size of a coffee cup and not a large one at that. …more here, Cycroft Photoblog: Saw-Whet Owl.

terraincognitaHere in Wisconsin, we just declared open hunting season on them. We going to kill them to save them. You would think we would have heard about Aldo Leopold here. "Only a mountain has lived long enough to listen objectively to the howl of a wolf."

When Arizona Governor Jan Brewer vetoed the "right to discriminate" bill SB 1062, she claimed that the measure was a solution in search of a problem. Further, Brewer added, the bill was "broadly worded and could result in unintended and negative consequences." What the governor conveniently omitted is that members of her own staff worked with the bill's sponsors on that language, in ...
There are 77 countries that criminalize homophobia, according to the United Nations; seven of those implement the death penalty. Russia has recently been in the spotlight for its anti-gay laws, and Uganda's anti-gay bill has been widely covered, as has the fact that American evangelical activism was an influence in the decision to harshly punish gay Ugandans. A proposed anti-gay law in Arizona ...
What our problems weren't "caused" by the gays or abortion? Right Wing Watch points out that Fundamentalist "Christian Historian" John Benefiel insists our problems all started when ancient Egyptians came here and dedicated this land to Baal. So we are to believe that God is punishing us because someone came here in the past and dedicated this land to a false god? So ...
video at link After watching Aasif Mandvi's segment on Thursday's "Daily Show," two things are clear: 1) America has the greatest healthcare system in the world (if 37th place is considered the greatest), and 2) some people shouldn't do interviews with "Daily Show" correspondents. Case in point, "Fox Business" commentator and NYSE Euronext Managing Director Todd Wilemon has a couple of jaw-dropping moments in ...
There are many good questions that can be asked about Apple. We're not going to look at any of those today, though. Forbes contributor Lois Geller asks, "Why Doesn't Apple Have A Real Loyalty Program?" (No link but tip o' the antlers to @JonyIveParody.) Yeah, like a punch card! Buy ten Macs and get the eleventh Mac free. (Mac must be of equal ...
For many years the hallmark of a well maintained home was the golf course green trimming of the yard and paved walkways surrounded by meticulously trimmed bushes in geometric patterns. Flowers and plants were selected based on carefully conceived color coordination with garden furniture and it seemed that the goal was to make the lawn look as artificial as possible. This look was ...

WASHINGTON -- This is not Robert Eatinger's first run through a full-blown CIA controversy. But it's his most public ordeal. For most of his career, few outside the world of espionage knew of Eatinger, 56, who has spent 22 years moving up the ranks to become the CIA's top lawyer. But in a scathing speech Tuesday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the head of the ...
A new study backs up what feminists have been saying for approximately ever about the relationship between drinking and rape. Namely, that alcohol-despite its impressive powers-neither magically turns well-meaning kids into sexual aggressors nor makes everything so topsy turvy that nobody has any clue what consent is and if they have it or gave it. Instead, sexual predators deliberately target intoxicated victims. NPR ...
Earlier, I spoke about Mother Jones excellent take down of Scott Lively, the Anti-Gay Christian pastor who is responsible for murder, torture, oppression and other malfeasance towards GLBT people in Africa and Russia. Now, another Massachusetts hate group, MassResistance, is following this template in Jamaica: On International Human Rights Day, December 10, Brian Camenker of MassResistance went to Jamaica and delivered a stirring speech ...
"Guess what, Ireland?" jibes a video released by the US Embassy in Dublin. " It was Americans who first started turning things green." Green rivers, green beer, "even wearing green". It's one of five ways Americans invented St Patrick's Day, apparently. If the video is anything to go by, they also gave us parades, marching bands, and corned beef. The claims will surprise ...
"If a plane breaks up at altitude, the parts float down, so you find wings and rudders and horizontal stabilizers falling flat," Marks said. "If there was an explosion, you can find burn damage." A loss of pressurization could put the crew and passenger to sleep, as happened with golfer Payne Stewart's Learjet, which crashed in October 1999 in South Dakota after the ...
They're still clearing away the debris along Park Avenue in Harlem. A natural gas explosion already has taken six lives officially, and there likely will be more victims to be found. People said they saw pianos flying through the air. And then, of course, there's this: Less than two weeks before two East Harlem buildings exploded leaving at least six dead, Consolidated Edison ...
Bachmann recently "retired" from Congress, but in reality she quit because the criminal investigations were closing in on her. This is the first time Marcus Bachmann has been named in reports as part of an investigation. The shenanigans of her failed presidential campaign are what the Department of Justice is looking into, and they are also the subject of investigations in Iowa, an ...
I am unimpressed by his neutrality. IMHO he needs to step up and speak for the independence and strength of the oversight panel. The agency must be seen and be forced to act under, not apart from that authority. I'm no fan of Dianne Feinstein, but I'd like to see Obama watch her back for the sake of checks and balances. I must admit ...
The U.S. and Germany stepped up pressure on Russia to back down from plans to annex Crimea from Ukraine after the region holds a referendum in three days, warning that they will exact an economic toll if Russia doesn't. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said today Russia is risking "massive" political and economic damage. U.S. President Barack Obama appealed to Russian leader Vladimir Putin ...

Throwing objects such as this are capable of damaging expensive musical equipment and musicians. Any more of this and there will be no more music. -- FZ, Autumn 1981 at Northrup auditorium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. After someone threw a plunger on stage about two-thirds of the way through the show, he stopped the band with a wave of his hand speaking in the general direction that the dangerous object was thrown, while holding it in his hand. This did not prove to be an amusing act and Franks mood hardened. - It was, however, an evening of excellent, serious musicianship around the release of 'Shut up and play your guitar'
