Fine Diving in Chicago to the rescue!
2009-11-02 04:12:00 When I first heard about Diana Durkes and her blog Fine Diving in Chicago, I knew I had to meet her. First of all, what a great concept and title for a blog, right? Secondly, found furniture was on my mind. Our goal was to furnish the house on the island with free or as-close-to-free-as-possible furniture and I needed to learn how to make it look good....
Lots of fun scuba diving in Kona Hawaii.....
2009-09-18 07:51:00 Here's a goby I've been wanting to get a good picture of for a long time, this one's about as close as I've managed to get, I may have another more head-on pic I've got to photoshop that may come out OK. I'm thinking this is a Twospot Sandgoby (Coryphopterus duospilus). The picture really doesn't do them justice, in real life they're.... invisible.... well, almost. They've got see through bodies. You can see all their internal structure and their body meat is literally clear.We've been diving pretty much every day since my little 4 day break early in the month. Tomorrow I'm not on the boat though, Bob and Cathy will lead the charter... gotta sit in my office and wait for the phone guy to come and get me service.... I ordered phone service a while back and the office is loaded with phone jacks as it used to have a multi-desk travel agency in it, but none of them work. I'm to expect the technician some time between 8 am and 5 pm... I can't help but think of the Seinf...

Wet and Green Dumpster Diving
2009-07-25 06:30:00 Some people throw their trash into a dumpster, others dive right into dumpsters with a big splash. Are they crazy? No!

Good fun scuba diving today.....
2009-06-23 07:51:00 We had fun today. Went up to "Hoover's" for the first dive, ended up at Kaloko for the second dive. At about 60-65 minutes into the second dive, customer Mel found this fish... nice find. It's a Devil Scorpion (Scorpaenopsis diabolus). This one wasn't all that large, maybe 7 inches or so. They are essentially one of the stone fish, and have a knack for blending in to their surroundings. Mel said she saw it move as she went by... what is noticeable about them when they move is the back side of their pectoral fins, they're extremely bright, looking like a brightly colored butterfly when they skip along the bottom.Here's a quick shot of the back view. You can only see the color open up right when they move, and I just barely caught part of it, but you get the idea.Later, Steve
Great scuba diving in Kona Hawaii today....
2009-06-21 08:49:00 Here's a Harlequin Shrimp (Hymenocera picta) feeding on a Blood Star. These little shrimp feed on the tube feet and legs of starfish. They are occasionally found deep in antler corals. When we find them we consider ourselves lucky, they often stay in the same coral head for long periods of time so we've got a shot at finding them repeatedly.We're at the start of a long stretch of days of diver charters. Today we were at High Rock for the first dive. I captained and the divers came up quite happy... great viz - 150' plus, along with lots of critters. Cathy said if the pinnacle wasn't in the way they could've probably seen the boat from the north arch (we're probably talking 200-250 feet or so)... man, that's clear. Between dives we moved down to Golden Arches and I hopped in for a Captain's dive, the surge had come up by then and the water was a bit milky, but probably still in the 125' plus visibility range. I didn't bother putting on my wetsuit... it's running 80...

Dumpster-Diving for GOP Quotes (And Their Hidden Meanings)
2008-05-23 10:27:00 by Dr. Bernard Weiner As a playwright, I pay special attention to the difference between words as they are spoken and the unsaid words hidden beneath the surface — what we in the dramaturgy biz call "subtext." With McCain and Obama edging closer to full-out general election campaigning, it seems an appropriate time to examine recent and older public utterances of various Republican officials — Bush, McCain, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Fleischer, Ashcroft, et al. — and their likely subtextual meanings. I'm presenting them here for several reasons: first, to make sure these utterances do not get forgotten, but also to help us figure out how to combat the twisted politics they represent. No doubt a goodly number of these quotations will appear in campaign ads prior to November. George W. Bush, of course, is a never-ending source of such examples. Many of them make you guffaw in absolute embarrassment for the guy, way over his head in a ...
deep diving into 2.0 data- learning from flickr
2008-05-20 15:29:00 Students at LIAFA University in Paris partnered with a team at Orange Labs to do some deep dive investigating into the Flickr site using some data from 2006 and produced this paper. They came up with some interesting findings.- 20% of users account for 82% of all photos- Pro users make up just 3.7% of users, but account for over 59% of all photos- 39% of users are inactive- 23% of users have no public photos, but have used the site to communicate- 64% of contacts are reciprocated - To become famous on Flickr you can't just be a good photographer, you need to contribute. One of the star photographers made over 51,000 comments in an 18 month periodWhat the research shows is the amazing power of a very small group of users to shape the community. This group puts enormous efforts into tagging, commenting and discussion that turns Flickr from a photo storage site into a vibrant community.Flickr appears to have managed this group really well giving them enough freedom and listening when ...

Diving deep for climate clues
2008-05-07 09:48:00 Earlier in April, UK scientists attending a conference in Vienna warned that sea-levels could rise by up to 1.5 metres by the end of this century, putting low-lying countries such as Bangladesh under threat. One of the main causes is the rapidly melting glaciers which cover huge areas of the world's surface - mostly in the Antarctic, Greenland and the south of Argentina and Chile. Mr Cardenas has discovered several sub species Glaciers melt and grow naturally, but the rate of change is raising concerns. Two million hectares of ice are found in the Magellan Strait at the southern tip of South America. Charles Darwin came here in the 1830s. It is where he began to formulate his Theory of Evolution, before sailing on to the Galapagos Islands. But the remoteness and difficult weather conditions, as well as the high cost of transport, mean few have studied in this particular area since. As a result, there is little scientific data about the fauna and flora of the Tierra del Fuego region...

Sidney Crosby diving, whining causing quite the splash in New York
2008-04-27 17:12:00 Sunday morning pop quiz: if someone happens to be moaning like a schoolgirl that Sidney Crosby, for instance, is a whiner, what exactly does that make whinee? Granted, that is not a grammatically correct term - heck, it isn't even a word - but stick with me. It's for effect only.Case in point, New York Rangers coach Tom Renney and pretty well every pro-Blueshirts' scribe in the metropolitan New York area bellyaching that Greg Louganis Crosby may have taken a dive for the team in Pittsburgh's series-opening win Friday night.Which, even if it constitutes one a diver, would strike me as being a pretty intelligent maneuver at the same time, no?Let's not forget, this is a league where officials reward players who drop like they've been shot every ten minutes or so. Don't blame the actor competitor for doing nothing more than taking advantage of a titanic loophole in the rulebook.I've got an idea, and that only happens once every six or seven months.

The "Nameless Goalie" Rule And A Comment On Diving
2008-04-25 17:43:00 I've got a lot to write about today, so bear with me. The Nameless Goalie Rule I know it's confusing a few people, so I'll try to clarify this blog's rule on mentioning the Avalanche goalie's name during game threads. The purpose of this rule is to avoid jinxing the goalie, which is real and happens all the time. In the initial game thread post, I will avoid using the name, and during the game while the goalie is on the ice (or on the bench for the extra attacker), his name cannot be used. If that goalie is pulled or otherwise out of the lineup, his name can once again be used. You see? Last night, when Jose Theodore was pulled for Peter Budaj, we could once again talk about Theodore because he was out of the game, and Budaj was then off-limits because he was playing. It is almost a certainty that when someone writes "great save by Theo!" in a game thread, or "Budaj has been awesome so far," he will immediately give up three goals on three shots and ...
