Well, later today I'm going to see an old university friend I haven't seen since 1993.
To say a lot has happened since then would be silly. - Brent Schaus from iPhone

"The movie is called Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon II – The Green Destiny, and it’s based on one of the other books in the series Crouching Tiger was based on. The director will be legendary fight choreographer Yuen Wo Ping, who worked on the first Crouching Tiger in addition to the Kill Bill movies and The Matrix. As for the writer, that’s John Fusco, who wrote martial arts flick The Forbidden Kingdom alongside Viggo Mortensen‘s Hidalgo and animated kid’s movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (that’s… varied)." - Jessie from Bookmarklet

"PIXIE POWER Adult tricycles—even e-tricycles—are already a thing. But are they cute enough? North Carolina start-up Organic Transit is addressing that problem with the Elf, a pedal-electric solar-powered tricycle that makes low-carbon conveyance easy and adorable. Big enough to carry an extra passenger or up to eight bags of groceries, the enclosed, egg-shaped Elf is still legal to ride on bike paths. When they cross the Misty Mountains, elfin riders can turn the throttle to get an electric boost—a lithium ion battery will take the trike 30 miles at 20 miles per hour and can be recharged from a wall outlet. Company founder Rob Cotter says the target market is people who never imagined commuting by bike. "Do you really think my aunt Kiki is going to ride uphill in the rain?" LEAN, GREEN PHILIPPINES Gas-powered trikes are popular in the Philippines, where 3.5 million are in use, but their emissions aren't: They account for more than two-thirds of the nation's transportation-related air... more... - Spidra Webster from Bookmarklet

Klamath River Overlook. The first time I went there it was so foggy you couldn't see anything, but the weather was much better this time. It's a short drive off of 101 between Eureka and Crescent City, just north of the bridge over Klamath River.

I love that area -- haven't been for a long time. I stayed at the hostel near there twice, and had such a great time hiking in Redwood National Forest. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
If you turn left just before the river, you'll end up on the road you can see in the photo. That's a good one too. For this view though you'll want to turn left a little bit after the river, on Requa Road. - Amit Patel
I love this area; I try to visit at least once a year. I usually stay in McKinleyville. - Amit Patel
I haven't been there since the '80s but I loved that part of CA. We were bike riding from Brookings, OR to LA and it was a helluva way to see it. - Spidra Webster

Highway 101 - The Flood of 1964 photo - Stephen Phillips photos at pbase.com
"A flood of historic proportions hit this region just before Christmas, 1964. The sign here shows the high water level through this region. This point is 47 miles (75 km) upstream from the river's Pacific Ocean discharge near Ferndale, California. " - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet
I drove by this sign, then looked it up on Google Earth. It looks like the river is 130 feet below the sign level, which would suggest that flood was truly epic. - Amit Patel

Navy dolphins discover rare old torpedo off Coronado - latimes.com
"The so-called Howell torpedo was discovered by bottlenose dolphins being trained by the Navy to find undersea objects, including mines, that not even billion-dollar technology can detect." - SteVe C from Bookmarklet
Only 50 were made between 1870 and 1889 by a Rhode Island company before a rival copied and surpassed the Howell's capability. Until recently only one Howell torpedo was known to exist, on display at the Naval Undersea Museum in Keyport, Wash. Now a second has been discovered, not far from the Hotel del Coronado.

"I expected it to be ridiculous (because CW), but, well, take a look at this first clip from Reign for yourself and tell me if your reaction is anything other than staring at your screen in abject horror. Or, heck, maybe you’re staring at your screen in delight. This looks like it might be one of those so bad it’s good, buy some wine and give it the MST3K treatment sort of things. Either way, it is impossible to prepare yourself for the awfulness of this clip. Mary, I am so, so sorry. You deserved better." - Jessie from Bookmarklet

The Rite of Spring 1913: Why did it provoke a riot? - Telegraph - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture...
The Rite of Spring 1913: Why did it provoke a riot? - Telegraph
"Stravinsky was hoping the new ballet would be an even bigger hit than Petrushka. “From all indications I can see that this piece is bound to 'emerge’ in a way that rarely happens,” he wrote gleefully to Nicholas Roerich, who was the guiding spirit behind the ballet’s vision of pagan Russia. It’s a fair bet that Diaghilev, the great entrepreneur behind the Ballets Russes, was hoping for something more than an emergence. He wanted a scandal. And he got one, though what actually happened that night is something of a mystery. The dancer Dame Marie Rambert remembered that “a shout went up in the gallery: 'Un docteur!’. Somebody else shouted louder, 'Un dentiste!’” Kessler said that people started to whisper and joke almost immediately. The conductor of the premiere, Pierre Monteux, was told by one of his double-bass players that “many a gentleman’s shiny top hat or soft fedora was ignominiously pulled down by an opponent over his eyes and ears, and canes were brandished like menacing implements of combat all over the theatre.”" - Jessie from Bookmarklet
"These are just a few of dozens of eyewitness reports. As the musicologist Richard Taruskin points out, the Rite is the most over-documented premiere in history, and yet so many things are obscure. Was it the choreography that annoyed people, or the music? Were the police really called? Was it true that missiles were thrown, and challenges to a duel offered? Were the creators booed at the end, or cheered? " - Jessie
"At a deeper level, the music negates the very thing that for most people gives it meaning: the expression of human feelings. As Stravinsky put it, “there are simply no regions for soul-searching in The Rite of Spring”. This is what separates it so decisively from Stravinsky’s hit of 1911, Petrushka. There we’re immersed in a human world, which exudes the very specific cultural ambience... more... - Jessie

I guess I'm feeling weird about my conflicted, cautious initial reaction to Angelina Jolie's op-ed. But in the end, if anyone who has a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer is now motivated to get more in-depth testing or even if you don't have a family history and now decide to get regular screening, that's a good thing.
It has certainly stimulated a lot of good discussion. - Spidra Webster
While I think it's a travesty that Myriad was allowed to literally patent the genes and keep the price for testing high for decades, I also don't think everyone should get tested. At least, it shouldn't be an automatic decision. The pros and cons should be discussed with a healthcare professional. And there are most definitely cons. The probability of inconclusive testing and the resultant anxiety from that uncertainty are just a few. - Victor Ganata
I started thinking of this as a board question: Consider two women, Ann and Beatrice, in their late 30s. Both women have mothers who died from metastatic breast cancer at an early age, both have young children, and both discover they have an allele of BRCA1 that is correlated with a much increased risk for developing breast cancer, although Ann's mutation is estimated to have a lifetime risk of 56% by age 70 and Beatrice's is estimated to have a lifetime risk of 87% by age 70…. - Victor Ganata
…Ann decides to get prophylactic bilateral mastectomies. Beatrice opts for close surveillance alternating mammograms and breast MRIs every six months. Which woman made the right decision? - Victor Ganata
Answer: A. both women made the right decision after considering their own personal circumstances and discussing their options with qualified professionals, including a genetic counselor. And it would still be the right decision even if their lifetime risk were identical B. unless you are Ann, Beatrice, or the primary care physician, breast surgeon, oncologist, or genetic counselor who is caring for either of these women, who the hell cares what you or I think? - Victor Ganata
I liked this article... Made me think a little differently about it. http://www.drmcdougall.com/misc... - Yvonne from FFHound!
I think the one of the worst possible outcomes would be if insurance companies decided to pay only for prophylactic bilateral mastectomies but not for lifetime close surveillance. Or vice-versa. - Victor Ganata

Taipei cab driver provides chauffeur service for strays - Taipei Times - http://www.taipeitimes.com/News...
"Operating a taxi equipped with waterproof mats, paper boxes and pet food, a 54-year-old Taipei cab driver not only transports human passengers, but also ferries stray animals to their new owners. For several years Yu Ho-ching (尤河清) has helped animal shelters and volunteers take strays to their new homes, for a reasonable fee, in spite of the threat of unpleasant odors that nervous animals may leave behind. Yu has also provided free rides to stray animals whose foster carers are financially disadvantaged and he sometimes purchases pet supplies himself." - Jessie from Bookmarklet
"In an effort to ensure the comfort of animals riding in his car, Yu keeps a stash of pet food, places waterproof mats on the rear seats of his taxi and paper boxes on the floor mats. Except for untamed strays, all animal passengers can be uncaged and are allowed to move freely around the taxi. “I also try to ‘make conversation’ with these animals to alleviate their anxiety and calm them down,” Yu said." - Jessie
"Yu’s benevolence has touched many netizens, with some dubbing him “the guardian angel of fluffy children” and “a living Buddha.” It has also made a lasting impression on a woman surnamed Chen (陳), who keeps more than 100 stray dogs in the hills of Taipei’s Beitou District (北投). “After learning that I was a retiree without any source of income, Mr Yu not only offered to drive my sick... more... - Jessie
"Saying that he would continue to transport his animal passengers until the day he retired, Yu urged the public to think twice before getting a pet, and to adopt a dog or a cat from a shelter rather than buying one." - Jessie

Heroic Theatergoer Smashes Cell Phone, Gets Thrown Out: Gothamist - http://gothamist.com/2013...
Heroic Theatergoer Smashes Cell Phone, Gets Thrown Out: Gothamist
"We can't count the number of times we've wanted to enact vengeance on some inconsiderate audience member whose cell phone goes off during a performance. But, like most people, we just bottle that fury up deep down inside and take it out on the break room vending machine later. Not Kevin Williamson. Last night the National Review writer was in attendance at the marvelous new musical Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 when one theatergoer's incessant cell phone use finally drove him over the edge... into vigilantism." - Jessie from Bookmarklet
"Although each table is explicitly told that photography and cell phone use is strictly prohibited during the performance, the people seated around Williamson were, he says, unbearable. "They were carrying on a steady conversation throughout entire show," Williamson, who also writes a theater column for New Criterion, tells us. "They had been quite loud and obnoxious the entire time. There were two groups, one to the left and one to the right who were being loud and disruptive."" - Jessie
"During intermission, Williamson's date complained to the theater's management, but he says he didn't personally witness the theater managers admonish the disruptive audience members. And once the performance resumed, the woman sitting to Williamson's right on his bench would not, he says, stop using her cell phone. "It looked like she was Googling or something," Williamson tells us. "So I leaned over and told her it was distracting and told her to put it away. She responded, 'So don't look.' "" - Jessie
"Blood boiling, Williamson says he then asked her, sarcastically, "whether there had been a special exemption for her about not using her phone during the play. She told me to mind my own business, and so I took the phone out of her hands. I meant to throw it out the side door, but it hit some curtains instead. I guess my aim's not as good as it should be." Asked if the phone was damaged, Williamson says, "It had to be; I threw it a pretty good distance."" - Jessie
